After years of pressure from thousands of Common Cause members like you, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is finally gone – but Trump’s takeover of the Postal Service is just starting. Trump is now reportedly plotting a COMPLETE partisan takeover of our independent Postal Service – defying the Constitution, which clearly gives Congress, not the President, authority over the USPS.  But we know the rules have never stopped Trump, who has long wanted to privatize this essential public service at the expense of millions of Americans who rely on the Postal Service for receiving medications, sending letters to family, or casting mail-in ballots.  We must act NOW to nip this in the bud. If you agree we can’t tolerate any disruption to this crucial public good, join us today in telling Congress: Protect our Postal Service from Trump’s takeover >>

Donald Trump is signing another fake executive order – one that he claims can get rid of the Department of Education, which millions of students, teachers, and parents rely on to ensure every child gets the education they deserve. How will this impact your school board, your kids' education, and the funding your local schools rely on? What opportunities could be taken away from your kids or grandkids? And without the Department of Education’s guardrails, what extreme policies could be forced onto our classrooms? We shouldn't need to keep saying this, but Trump is a president, not a king. He can't close federal agencies without Congress – his attempt to do that at USAID got shut down in court.  And if he had the votes to pass a bill, he wouldn't be staging today's stunt. That sure won't stop him from trying – no matter what our Constitution, the will of the voters, or basic common sense says.   Let's make sure this attack on our schools is dead on arrival in Congress – can you tell your lawmakers to stand up for students today?

President Trump just signed an executive order to bring the DOGE playbook – a flood of half-baked and likely illegal cuts – to our nation’s elections.  This is a full-scale attack on our most fundamental right: the right to vote. Our experts are still digging into the details – and evaluating our legal options to respond – but here’s how this order could affect your rights:   • Sharing your personal voter data with Elon Musk and his cronies at DOGE.  • Endangering your right to register to vote online or by mail – making it harder for seniors, rural voters, and disabled voters to register and cast a ballot.  • Throwing out your absentee ballot if it arrives after Election Day – even if you mailed it on time.  Any state that implements these extreme demands will silence thousands or even millions of eligible voters. And any state that doesn’t – and chooses our rights over Trump’s agenda – would lose all federal election funding, blowing million-dollar holes in their state budgets. We’re exploring legal options, but voters can’t wait for the courts to fix this. We need your voice on our side to speak out NOW.

House Republicans want to make voting harder for you – no matter where you live. We need your help to stop them. Here’s how their “SAVE” Act puts your vote at risk: • Prove your citizenship – again: Even if you’re a lifelong voter, if you move across town, change your last name when getting married, or switch parties, you’d have to provide your passport or birth certificate with your current legal name – in person at your local elections office – just to stay registered. • Get stuck in long lines: Election officials would face impossible workloads, causing confusion and delays. • Lose your right to vote – without warning: If outdated records can’t verify your status, you could be purged from the rolls without even knowing it. The “SAVE” Act’s barriers could strip millions of eligible Americans of our right to vote – especially the 146 million Americans without passports and the 69 million American women whose birth certificates don’t match their married names.  Add your name to urge Congress to REJECT the “SAVE” Act and protect millions of American voters.

Her Health, Her Right is a statement meant to highlight the urgent need for affordable, accessible healthcare for women. Across the country, women are forced to navigate a system that often puts their well-being second to profit. From reproductive care and maternity services to treatment for chronic illnesses, the financial burden can be overwhelming. Many delay or forgo necessary care due to high costs, leading to worsened health outcomes and increased stress. This issue doesn’t just affect physical health—it impacts emotional stability, economic opportunity, and overall quality of life. Healthcare should not be a luxury or a privilege. It’s a basic human right. This message aims to raise awareness, inspire change, and remind us that when women are denied proper care, the consequences ripple far beyond the doctor’s office.

People like RFK Jr should be educated in the subjects they speak about, not give into conspiracy theories which have no logical weight. We need a person in charge of health who is both knowledgeable and compassionate, RFK Jr with his statements has proven that he is neither of these things. 

The climate crisis is not a distant threat—it’s already reshaping our lives here in New Mexico. Our rivers are drying, our skies are thick with wildfire smoke, and our communities—especially rural, Indigenous, and low-income communities—are paying the highest price. As students at the University of New Mexico, we are not immune to these impacts. We breathe the same air, drink the same water, and live in the same heat. UNM is supposed to be a place of learning, leadership, and vision. But how can our university prepare students for the future while ignoring the single greatest threat to our generation? Staying on track with climate commitments will prove that the University is treating the climate crisis with the urgency it deserves while ensuring that students have a real voice in shaping a just and sustainable future. This campaign is about integrity. It’s about justice. And it’s about survival. When students, faculty, alumni, and community members come together, we can push institutions to change. We’ve seen it happen before, and we can do it again. Your voice, your name, your presence in this movement sends a powerful message: that UNM cannot sit on the sidelines any longer. Whether you're a student living through the heat, a faculty member concerned about the future of education, or a community member fighting for clean air and water—this is your fight too. By joining this campaign, you’re standing up for climate justice, for youth leadership, and for a university that aligns its actions with its values. You’re helping build a campus that invests in life, not fossil fuels. A campus that centers sustainability, equity, and community—not corporate interests and empty promises. This is our campus. This is our climate. This is our moment. Join us—and help make history at UNM.

The agencies, programs, and regulations Trump has eliminated are the critical organs of our government. Our individual freedoms are its spirit. When dissent is no longer tolerated, the debate that is so fundamental to our democracy is silenced. To put it simply, the United States was founded on an agreement to disagree. If we lose that, we've lost everything. Congress has the power to prevent that from happening. Please sign this petition calling on Congress to act.

I am calling for Americans who believe in due process for all, to sign this petition.  We are not going to forget those people who were unlawfully taken and sent to an inhumane camp with no hope for release!

 Rochester is in the midst of a housing crisis. Current resources do not meet the current needs. • There are 635 homeless adults and 570 beds for adults (without children).  • There are 415 families living homeless with children and 310 beds. For many houseless people, there is nowhere to go instead of living outdoors. The current administration firmly believes they are conducting simple "relocations". By technical definition, a homeless sweep is, "the forced disbanding of homeless encampments on public property and the removal of both homeless individuals and their property from that area." The administration sends outreach workers, police and dump trucks into encampments, leaving our chronically homeless community with no safe space and without any belongings. Regardless of the label, in practice the current administration is conducting sweeps.

This is important because these immigrants who are here legally working, contribute to our society, both financially and culturally. They have done nothing wrong because they have done what the US told them to do by filing for and receiving work authorization documentation, as well as social security numbers. You are reneging on something our former government gave permission for which makes us all look very bad and we believe it is unethical and immoral. 

Because no one deserves to live in unsafe, unlivable conditions—especially when they’re paying rent. When we allow slumlords to get away with neglect and abuse, we’re not just hurting one tenant, we’re sending a message that people’s dignity and basic needs don’t matter. This campaign isn’t just about me—it’s about all of us. It’s about standing up for families, seniors, single parents, working people—anyone who has ever felt ignored, disrespected, or trapped by a landlord who refuses to do the right thing. When we come together and raise our voices, we shift power back to the people. We make it known that we will not be silent, and we will not settle for less than what we deserve: safe, clean, and humane housing. This is more than a complaint—it's a call to action. I’m asking others to join me because change doesn't happen alone—it happens when we show up together.
