• RFK Jr needs to resign and issue an apology to the autistic community
    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.

  • UNM: Acknowledge the Climate Emergency Now!
    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? Acknowledging the climate emergency is more than symbolic—it’s a necessary first step toward meaningful change. It means treating the climate crisis with the urgency it deserves, holding our institution accountable to its commitments, and 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.

  • Congress: End the Chaos
    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.

  • Tenants of Geneva Towers versus Edgemont Realty
    ### Importance of the Petition Against Edgemont Real Estate Company, Nazette, and Greg Usher #### Legal Significance 1. **Enforcement of Fair Housing Laws**: The petition serves as a legal instrument to highlight violations of the Fair Housing Act (FHA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and relevant state landlord-tenant laws. It reinforces the legal obligation of landlords and housing providers to treat all tenants fairly, regardless of race, color, disability, or other protected characteristics. The petition documents a systemic pattern of discrimination and legal violations, providing a basis for legal action and regulatory intervention. 2. **Documentation of Malpractice**: By formally submitting the petition, tenants are compiling and documenting a comprehensive account of illegal practices. This serves as critical evidence for any future legal proceedings, whether civil or criminal, against Edgemont Real Estate Company and its associates. A well-structured petition can help establish a clear history of grievances, patterns of misconduct, and the impact on tenants, which is essential for a strong legal case. 3. **Protection of Vulnerable Populations**: The petition emphasizes the plight of tenants, particularly individuals with mental and physical disabilities, who may be disempowered and unaware of their rights. By advocating for accountability, the petition promotes the legal protection and support for vulnerable populations, ensuring that their rights are upheld and that they are no longer subjected to exploitation. 4. **Potential for Class Action**: The petition may lay the groundwork for a class-action lawsuit if multiple tenants have experienced similar grievances. A class action consolidates individual claims into a single action, which can increase the efficacy and resources available for pursuing legal remedies against the offending parties. 5. **Regulatory Oversight**: Submitting a petition can prompt regulatory agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to conduct investigations or audits of Edgemont Real Estate Company. This can lead to sanctions, financial penalties, or a revocation of licenses, which serves as a deterrent against similar misconduct in the future. #### Relevant Federal Cases Several federal cases have focused on similar issues surrounding discrimination in housing, fraudulent rental practices, and the rights of individuals with disabilities: 1. **Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer Co., 392 U.S. 409 (1968)**: This landmark case held that Congress has the power to prevent housing discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1866. The Supreme Court ruled that racial discrimination in the sale or rental of property violates both the Act and the Equal Protection Clause. It emphasized the country’s commitment to eliminating racial discrimination in housing practices. 2. **Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, Inc., 576 U.S. 519 (2015)**: This Supreme Court case confirmed that disparate impact claims are valid under the Fair Housing Act. It allowed for challenges to policies that disproportionately affect minorities, reinforcing the law’s intent to combat discriminatory practices in housing. 3. **Hollis v. City of W. Palm Beach, 22 F.3d 878 (11th Cir. 1994)**: This case involved discrimination claims under the FHA where tenants alleged that the city’s zoning practices disproportionately affected racial minorities. The court ruled in favor of the tenants, highlighting the need for cities to ensure that land use laws do not discriminate against protected classes. 4. **United States v. Town of Hempstead, 2007 WL 4287564 (E.D.N.Y. 2007)**: Here, the U.S. Department of Justice brought a lawsuit against the Town of Hempstead for discriminatory zoning practices that disproportionately impacted minority groups. The town agreed to a settlement that included policy changes and measures to ensure fair housing practices. 5. **Patterson v. HUD, 20 F.3d 162 (3rd Cir. 1994)**: This case involved tenants who faced retaliatory discrimination for asserting their rights under the FHA. The court recognized the importance of protecting tenants who report discriminatory practices, an important consideration when addressing landlord abuses. ### Conclusion The petition against Edgemont Real Estate Company, Nazette, and Greg Usher is of paramount importance for legal and social reasons. It not only seeks to address unlawful practices faced by tenants but also aims to reinforce the protections afforded to all individuals under federal law. By bringing attention to these issues, the petition can lead to meaningful changes in policies and practices within the housing community, as well as hold accountable those who perpetuate discriminatory acts.

  • Housing Not Handcuffs
     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.

  • Documented workers in the US should not be deported
    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.

  • Fight for the freedom to teach—Reinstate Florida Teacher Melissa Calhoun NOW!
    In 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the "Parental Authorization for Deviation from Student's Legal Name Form" rule that requires teachers and school administrators to get parental permission to use alternative names for students. This is an unprecedented attack on teachers—punishing them for creating safe environments for their students. The rule is so extreme that it covers nicknames, but its ultimate aim is a thinly veiled attempt to humiliate transgender students, putting them in potentially dangerous situations at school and at home. Florida teachers are also expressly forbidden from educating their students on issues related to sexual orientation or gender identity, and state law prohibits anyone in a school from being required to use a person’s preferred pronouns.  Anti-trans laws have a devastating impact on young people and their mental health. We can’t accept attacks against educators who show up for their students. Add your name now!

  • Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia Home
    Kilmar is not alone. He is one of over 250 immigrants deported without due process, as part of Trump’s $6 million deal with Bukele’s government—a plan to funnel immigrants, often with no criminal record, into El Salvador’s prisons under the false label of “gang affiliation.” Now, during Bukele’s visit to the White House, Trump is trying to expand this secretive deportation pipeline, using U.S. taxpayer dollars to outsource human rights abuses abroad. We demand the Trump administration comply with the Supreme Court ruling and immediately bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back home to his family. No one should be disappeared into a foreign prison without evidence, trial, or justice. Add your name to condemn this illegal and horrifying abuse—and call on Trump and his officials to stop this inhumane deportation scheme.

  • URGENT NEED FOR ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS AT FORDHAM'S ROSE HILL CAMPUS
    Accessibility is not just about ramps and elevators—it is about respect and inclusion and the type of community we create at Fordham. Many of our residence halls today—particularly Martyrs’ Court—currently bar students with mobility issues from being an active participant on campus. That means friendship, late-night discussions, study breaks and all that college offers beyond just class work are out of the question if one's living facility is inaccessible. If a residence hall is not accessible, then so is the community that is built there. Even if this matter does not directly affect you, it does affect your classmates, your friends, your future roommates. It decides who feels welcomed and who does not. By signing this petition, you are supporting the belief that all students should have access to the complete Fordham experience—not only in the classroom, but in all aspects of our campus. You're making it clear that we value one another and won't tolerate physical spaces creating unseen divisions. This is our opportunity to make Fordham better-for ourselves, for the current students on campus, and for all who will come afterward.
