People often buy Ring cameras to help them feel safer at home—and safety is exactly what they deserve. That includes knowing that their data is protected and not used to further a surveillance machine that is increasingly more dangerous under the Trump administration.  Ring and Amazon must immediately:  • End its partnership with Flock, ensuring that footage captured by everyday Americans isn’t used in Trump’s deportation campaign  • Clearly outline how users’ privacy and data will be protected   Until there are clear answers, Ring users should opt out of allowing their data to be accessed by giant tech companies with no guardrails by disabling their Ring cameras and opting out of the new Search Party feature.  Sign the petition to demand answers from Ring and oppose Amazon’s use of our data for mass surveillance and Trump’s deportation agenda!

On July 25, 2023, a federal lawsuit was filed in New York alleging that Leon Black violently raped a 16-year-old girl with autism and Down syndrome in 2002 at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. The plaintiff, now in her 30s, was born with mosaic Down syndrome and had a mental age of 12 at the time of the alleged assault. According to the complaint, she was groomed through cheerleading classes before being trafficked to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who then introduced her to Black as Epstein's "special friend." The lawsuit describes a brutal assault that left the victim with internal injuries and lasting psychological trauma, including panic attacks she still experiences today. Black retired from Apollo in July, 2021,  after a review revealed he paid Epstein $158 million for purported financial advice between 2012 and 2017, years after Epstein's 2008 criminal conviction for sex offenses. This financial relationship, combined with the new allegations of child sexual assault, raises urgent questions about whether Black or his associates had access to student information through educational institutions, youth programs, or philanthropic channels. Given Black's extensive financial ties to Epstein and the new allegations of child rape, any institution that received funding from Black or maintained relationships with entities he controlled must immediately audit what student data, photographs, or access may have been provided.

We're organizing Americans and people around the world to quit ChatGPT. Is this boycott going to work? ChatGPT is the biggest chatbot in the world, but that advantage is fragile. ChatGPT has been losing market share. Their creator OpenAI is losing 3x more than they earn. ChatGPT users skew young and progressive, and many don't know about alternatives. We can push OpenAI over the edge. If we make an example of ChatGPT, we can send a clear signal to ICE enablers that their actions will not go unpunished. Let's make CEOs think twice before they get in bed with Trump. Aren't all the AI companies bad? Why ChatGPT? OpenAI president Greg Brockman and his wife donated $25 million to MAGA Inc in 2025 (and CEO Sam Altman donated $1M to Trump's 2025 Inaugural Fund). They gave Trump 26x more than any other major AI company. ICE's resume screening tool is powered by OpenAI's GPT-4. They're spending 50 million dollars to prevent states from regulating AI so only Trump can. They're cozying up to Trump while ICE is killing Americans and the Department of Justice is trying to take over elections. ChatGPT enables mental-health crises through sycophancy and dependence by replacing human relationships with AI girlfriends/boyfriends. Many employees have quit OpenAI because of its leadership's lies, deception and recklessness. Who's organizing this? We are a group of democracy activists that are gravely concerned about AI companies contributing to the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. If your organization is interested in joining the organizing committee, reach out to [email protected]! Open to all. OpenAI—the company behind ChatGPT—openly attacks and intimidates its critics. Several nonprofits have been subpoenaed in recent months for trying to get AI regulated, including Encode, The Midas Project, and the San Francisco Foundation. These attacks have absorbed organizer capacity, dulling their ability to hold OpenAI accountable. The same cannot happen to us. That's why we're staying anonymous. What about alternatives? Some higher privacy and open-source alternatives include: Confer, Alpine, Lumo. Alternate corporate options include Gemini from Google and Claude from Anthropic. Larger companies are doing much more to enable authoritarianism than smaller companies and open-source models. We strongly advise against using Grok for the obvious reasons. People think ChatGPT is the only chatbot in the game, and they don't know that OpenAI execs are Trump's biggest donors. It's time to change that. Isn't Elon's AI company way worse? Yes. Thankfully, hardly anyone uses Grok (Elon's chatbot) anyway, but yes, please don't use Grok. What do we mean by "Trump's biggest donor"? In Trump's Super PAC, MAGA Inc.'s latest filings, OpenAI president Greg Brockman and his wife gave $25M, more than any other group in the report (by $5M!). If we zoom out to all of 2025, only one company (Crypto.com) gave more than this ($30M), spread throughout the year. To put this in perspective, companies like Palantir and JUUL "only" gave $1M.

Data centers can use more energy than entire cities, and Big Tech’s rapid AI expansion is driving up energy costs for everyone. Utility bills are soaring because tech firms are pushing the cost of powering mega data center operations onto residential customers.  The rampant growth of data centers isn’t just raising our monthly utility bills—it’s draining local energy, robbing communities of natural resources, imposing new health risks for nearby residents, and only helping to make tech billionaires even richer. And too often they pop up without any consent from local communities. American families are struggling to put food on the table and pay rising health care costs as it is. They can’t afford to also foot the bill for Big Tech. It’s time to stop passing the environmental consequences and costs of data centers onto working people.

After ICE left a trail of violence in Minneapolis, opposition to Trump’s lawless immigration force is reaching new heights. The faces of Trump’s immigration enforcement — Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Border Patrol officer Gregory Bovino — are facing heat and consequences, and long-term funding for Trump’s deportation machine is on the rocks. It’s crucial progress — but we have to go further. As critical resistance to ICE’s lawlessness grows, we can’t ignore the network of powerful corporations that help make its violence possible. From tech giants like Amazon, AT&T, and Microsoft, to retailers like Home Depot, to controversial data-mining firm Palantir, their lucrative contracts and corporate collaboration allow ICE to carry out its violent, large-scale enforcement campaign across the country. Without the cloud computing, surveillance software, communications infrastructure, and logistical cooperation these corporations provide, ICE couldn’t function. That’s why we need to speak out and ensure that companies know enabling hate and militarism has a cost.

Minnesota families are living in fear. With federal agents menacing our neighborhoods and the horrifying loss of two community members, we need action. The sports team owners who profit on Minnesota’s deep passion for athletics must speak up. Renee Good and Alex Pretti sacrificed their lives to protect our community. The owners of these teams have an obligation to keep their fans safe while representing the values of our community. Minnesotans competing in the Olympics are united with us in this struggle. Team USA curler Rich Ruohonen emphasized, “We have a constitution. What’s happening in Minnesota is unjust.” Vikings legend John Randle passionately voiced his support, stating, “I love Minnesota and stand with my entire community. #iceout.” It’s time for our Minnesota team owners to demonstrate leadership and firmly declare that ICE and federal agents will not be permitted to intimidate fans at games. Additionally, these owners should use their influence with President Trump to convey a clear message: Minnesotans want ICE permanently removed from our state!

Amazon’s union-busting is relentless. The Teamsters said the drivers in Kentucky “quietly organized” for more than a year to avoid Amazon’s anti-labor crackdown.  After thousands of Amazon workers voted to unionize in 2022 in New York City, Amazon unleashed a full court press of labor law violations to block contract negotiations. More than three years later, Amazon executives still won’t recognize the union that warehouse workers at the JFK8 facility in NYC voted for. Delivery drivers at DBK1 said the biggest issues are inconsistent scheduling, unrealistic delivery quotas and salaries that do not meet New York City’s cost-of-living. Workers also said that they are constantly worried about losing their jobs, citing former colleagues who have been fired for minor infractions. Amazon’s overwhelming corporate power has allowed it to get away with exploiting workers. The mega-corporation has spent millions on its union-busting campaigns. But workers have the power to fight back, and they’re showing that from New York to Kentucky and all across the country. We must join them today.   Sign the petition: Tell Amazon to end the union-busting! Recognize and bargain with unionized workers now.

 Amazon’s profit last year was $30,400,000,000. Their CEO was paid $29,200,000 for a single year’s work - at least 730 times the amount the lowest worker took home! But they refuse to take care of Pregnant and Disabled Employees. Amazon is hurting pregnant and disabled workers who need accommodations! I started this petition demanding amazon stop forcing employees to choose between their health and their jobs when they request legally required accommodations. As a Amazonian and disabled worker myself, who was denied accommodations, I know the reality of amazons mistreatment first hand. Please sign and help thousands of workers fighting for basic dignity and rights. 

Why This Is Important: Animal testing and abuse cause pain, fear, and suffering to living beings who cannot protect themselves. Animals feel emotions, form bonds, and experience distress just like humans do, and harming them for non-essential products such as cosmetics and household items is unnecessary and unfair. Today, science provides many cruelty-free alternatives that are safer, more accurate, and more ethical than outdated animal experiments. Protecting animals reflects our values as a society and teaches compassion, responsibility, and respect for all life.

We must not lose any opportunity to build affordable housing!

Amazon accounts for 7.5% of USPS’s sales—its number one customer. Losing this revenue stream of billions of dollars each year while fighting to compete with a growing Amazon network would be devastating for our postal service, which is already struggling and under threat by the Trump administration.  A massive delivery company run by Amazon and competing with USPS means fewer union jobs, less control over the cost of mail, and more uncertainty for Americans living in harder to reach rural communities. USPS plays a critical role in our communities—ensuring that everything from medicine to food to messages from loved ones can get to every single resident. A private Amazon delivery company—motivated by profits—would threaten the infrastructure we need to invest in, expand, and grow USPS as a public good.  Protect our national mail service—sign the petition telling Amazon to renew its contract and stop trying to put USPS out of business. 

Each time mergers happen between large corporations, consumers suffer. Prices go up, quality goes down, and we lose choice. That's why antitrust laws are fundamentally pro-consumer and pro-worker. We shouldn't have to pay even more to watch our favorite shows and movies. These mega-mergers also hurt everyone working in the movie and TV industries. Fewer productions mean fewer jobs for writers, actors, designers, technicians, editors, and all the related fields that support film and television. Movie theaters won't have enough movies to keep their doors open. Creative output will be diminished, fewer voices will be heard, and fewer stories will be shared. Netflix has already raised prices significantly in recent years, and Paramount has followed suit. A monopoly will only make it worse. Media consolidation hurts everyone except billionaire executives. It's no wonder voices from both sides of the aisle are raising concerns. A Netflix or Paramount takeover of Warner Bros. would be disastrous to consumers, creators, the economy, and the industry. Don't let corporate greed destroy American media!
