We, the undersigned fans, allies, and supporters of the WNBA, stand in full solidarity with the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) during negotiations for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). As loyal supporters of this league and its incredible athletes, we recognize the value, talent, and impact players bring to the sport—not just on the court, but across communities, industries, and movements for justice. The WNBA has become a global symbol of excellence, activism, and leadership—largely because of the strength, vision, and unity of its players. Every part of this business has grown—media rights, ticket sales, team valuations. The only thing still capped is player salaries. This is unacceptable. The people driving this growth—the players, deserve their fair share. We support the WNBPA’s call for salary and benefits that reflect players' true value and contributions to the game, the league, and the culture around it. We stand behind players demands for: • Sustainable salaries and a modern revenue-sharing structure, • Comprehensive healthcare and wellness benefits, including full support for parental and family care, • Safe, equitable travel standards, including full charter flight access, • Transparency and equity in league operations and partnerships, and • A continued commitment to player voice and leadership in shaping the WNBA’s future. The WNBPA's fight is part of an overdue and broader wave across women’s sports. In recent years, the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) renegotiated its CBA ahead of schedule—abolishing outdated systems like the draft, expanding free agency, nearly doubling minimum salaries, and securing full healthcare, mental health leave, and travel protections. These landmark deals—driven by players and fans—show what’s possible when players are valued and invested in as full partners in a league’s success. Now, it’s time for the WNBA to meet this moment. The league cannot sustain growth without its players. The WNBA's future and its integrity depends on a contract that honors those who make it what it is: the players. We urge the league commissioners, owners, and all stakeholders to negotiate in good faith and to center the voices and needs of the players in every decision. It's time. Together, we raise our voices: PAY THE PLAYERS!

Home Depot and Lowe's are using cameras that capture and store the details of every car that enters or leaves their parking lots. That data is then shared with police in ways that allow it to travel far beyond the store's own location. No private company should funnel its customers’ information into government databases without consent. By contributing to these sprawling surveillance networks, Home Depot and Lowe’s are helping law enforcement agencies—including those involved in aggressive and cruel immigration enforcement—monitor people’s movements without a warrant. Customers shouldn’t be swept into a nationwide surveillance system just for shopping for tools or home supplies. Sign the petition to tell Home Depot and Lowe's to end these dangerous data sharing practices now. >> 

For decades, New York’s family childcare providers and childcare workers have dedicated their lives to nurturing and educating our state’s children. Many of us have 20, 30, even 40 years of hands-on experience. Yet the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) says we are “not qualified” to serve as daycare center directors unless we hold a college degree. Across New York, long-serving family childcare providers are being blocked from becoming daycare directors solely because they don’t have a college degree—even if they’ve spent decades caring for children, mentoring other providers, and leading within their communities. This outdated policy dismisses the real-world expertise, commitment, and leadership that veteran providers bring to the childcare workforce, while worsening the staffing shortages already facing our state. Diane Abram (formerly Diane Ballard) is one of those providers. She began her licensed family daycare over 30 years ago under her maiden name and has supported generations of families in Buffalo. In addition to providing high-quality care, Diane has trained new providers, advocated for stronger childcare policies, and stood up for working families across the state. Despite her proven leadership and deep community roots, she was denied the opportunity to become a daycare center director—because she doesn’t hold a degree. This outdated requirement disregards real-world experience and disproportionately harms Black and Brown women, older providers, and those in underserved communities who built their careers through hard work, not academic credentials. Many of these providers work 60 to 80 hours a week, often offering non-traditional hours like evenings, overnights, and weekends—services most centers don’t provide, but working families rely on. We urge Senators Jabari Brisport and April N. M. Baskin to: • ✅ Support policy change at OCFS to recognize experience-based qualifications for director roles • ✅ Champion equitable leadership pathways for providers with proven service • ✅ Lead efforts that remove structural barriers to advancement in early childhood care

Delta has announced plans to use AI to price airline tickets for up to 20% of its domestic flights by the end of the year. This isn't about efficiency or fairness—it’s about maximizing profits by squeezing travelers for every dollar possible. Airlines have long used dynamic pricing based on demand, but this new approach poses serious concerns about personal data and privacy. AI pricing algorithms are designed to analyze your online behavior, travel history, and purchases to predict the highest price a customer is likely to pay. That means even less transparency about what tickets actually cost and skyrocketing fares for everyday people. This kind of price gouging could redefine how massive corporations use AI to extract more money from us. We've already seen AI used to raise rent prices and hike grocery bills—now it’s coming for our plane tickets. Delta's plan must be stopped before it spreads. Sign the petition to demand an end to AI-powered airfare pricing now.

Trump sued Paramount Global for $20 billion in damages for their 2024 “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris—yet another example of Trump trying to intimidate media outlets that report on information he disagrees with. At the beginning of July, CBS announced they settled for $16 million, sending a disturbing message to independent media.  During his Monday segment, Colbert spoke vocally against the settlement, calling it a bribe and stating: “This all comes as Paramount’s owners are trying to get the Trump administration to approve the sale of our network to a new owner, Skydance.”  And Trump celebrated the announcement, stating on Truth Social, “I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired.” Colbert has been hosting the show since 2015, and he’s been a frequent critic of Trump. Even the implication that prominent political media figures like him are being silenced or punished for their commentary against the government could have a chilling ripple effect when it comes to freedom of speech. This is a moment when we need strong voices reaching viewers across the nation and when we need institutions—including corporations—holding the line against interference from an increasingly abusing and corrupt federal government. Members of Congress, including Sen. Adam Schiff and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have speculated whether Colbert’s criticism of CBS’s settlement with Trump influenced the network’s decision.  CBS has forgotten who it answers to: its viewers. And viewers want Colbert to stay on air. Add your name to the petition to put the public pressure on CBS to keep “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” 

We need to talk about Palantir, Friend: the data-mining giant, co-founded by Republican mega-donor Peter Thiel. After winning a massive $30 million contract with ICE earlier this year, the firm is now helping supercharge Trump’s mass deportation agenda — the very architect of which, Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, owns up to $250,000 in Palantir stock, allowing him to profit while the company builds an Orwellian surveillance system to track people slated for deportation. The scary truth is, Palantir’s ties with the Trump administration go so much deeper. Our personal bank account numbers, medical claims, student debt amounts, and so much more could soon be accessible to the White House if Trump’s nightmare surveillance state succeeds. With the help of Palantir, Trump is reportedly amassing “untold surveillance power” through this invasion of privacy that could soon be weaponized to threaten, persecute, attack, and punish dissidents, political opponents, and people of all ilk. Trump hasn’t been forced to publicly disclose his grand plans for Palantir. But with enough pressure from Washington, that can change. We can do our part today by sending a message to Congress tens of thousands of people strong, demanding they throw roadblocks at Trump’s data collection power grab and protect our personal privacy.

Trump Mobile is just the latest example of the Trump family's using the office of the president of the United States to sell products, from perfume to sneakers. Experts at leading organizations like Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics warn that without real insights into who is funding these many businesses—it’s impossible to know what entities might be trading political favors for investments.  And the lack of clarity doesn’t end there. The Trump Organization’s release says the smartphone will cost only $499 and be made in the United States, despite the fact that there is essentially no manufacturing system in the U.S. that could fully produce a smartphone at that cost. Eric Trump has since walked back this claim in interviewss, but The Trump Organization has yet to clarify for buyers that the phones are in fact not USA made.    Meanwhile, there are serious potential implications when it comes to surveillance and data privacy. The current policy would allow The Trump Organization to collect data from web searches, browsing, geolocation, and even text and email content.  Major companies like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon can refuse to work with The Trump Organization and prevent potential ethics violations on their watch. Tell them to reject Trump Mobile NOW.

The U.S. Post Office and postal workers have faced years of cuts, poor conditions, and threats of privatization. The newest selection to lead the USPS, David Steiner, is a FedEx Board Member, even though FedEx is a direct competitor to the Post Office. Postal workers are already facing a round of 10,000 job cuts. Many USPS workers are forced to deal with what has been described as a “toxic workplace” due to hostile work environments, understaffing, poor treatment of workers, fatigue, and unforgiving schedules. In 2023, reports showed that 59% of early career USPS workers were leaving this toxic environment.  Now, competing companies and banks like Wells Fargo want to privatize the Post Office. Privatizing the USPS won’t fix any of the problems at the postal service — it’ll only make things worse for workers.  Postal workers have gathered across the country to protest layoffs, hour cuts, workplace conditions, and attempts to make the Post Office a private company.  One of the cornerstones of the USPS is its universal service mandate — no matter where you live in the country, the postal service will deliver to you. Postal workers will get people their prescription medications, mail from loved ones, and everything in between. The same is not true of private companies like FedEx.  If the new Postmaster General pushes to privatize the Post Office, routes for mail carriers could be cut, local post offices shut down, and people in rural areas may not receive essential mail and packages. The ultra-rich and corporations stand to gain the most from a Post Office that becomes privatized. Executives will come in to make massive profits, while workers suffer layoffs and worse workplace conditions, and consumers face higher prices and worse service. And companies like FedEx and UPS can grow their market share and corporate profits. It would be a clear win for billionaires, and a loss for workers and consumers. Sign the petition to stand with USPS workers and reject the privatization of the Post Office. Postal workers are under threat as corporate executives move in to take over.

While business is important for our state's growth, responsible, regulated, and TAXED business is necessary for our state's survival. We demand that our representatives speak up for the people in our community, renegotiate the  standards upon which we solicit and accept industry in Texas by increasing the hire local requirement and instituting measurable accountability, and remediate, reinvest, and revitalize the environment and infrastructure in the communities they benefit from. 

Trump’s tariffs aren't making the lives of Americans better—in fact, they're shifting the burden directly onto consumers. Billionaires will be fine, but everyday families will feel these rising costs the most. American households will have to pay an estimated $4,000 more per year due to Trump's tariffs. Retailer giants like Amazon have the reach, the influence, and the infrastructure to set a new standard in giving consumers the clarity we deserve. But instead, Amazon is giving in to Trump's demands. Amazon should lead the industry in pricing transparency by clearly displaying tariff-related fees alongside product prices. And other major corporations should follow suit. If Amazon wants to be a consumer-first company, now's the time to prove it and stop bending to Trump’s will. Join us in calling on Amazon's leadership to stop hiding tariff-related fees and give us the transparency we deserve.
