This isn’t the first time Netflix has supported a comedian known for mocking, dehumanizing, and othering; the streaming giant gave Dave Chappelle a special in 2021 despite his persistent and unapologetic transphobia.  Incendiary rhetoric like the kind we see from Hinchcliffe can create a more tense and unwelcoming political climate. Streaming platforms have a major impact on culture, and they have a responsibility to ensure they’re not amplifying racist rhetoric with dangerous consequences—especially at a time when immigrant and LGBTQ+ communities are facing unprecedented attacks. Netflix has more than 300 million subscribers worldwide and nearly 5 million in the U.S. and Canada. Their viewership is diverse and has significant reach across the country. It is a betrayal to its customers and the general public for Netflix to platform a comedian known for his racist and dehumanizing content just so it can profit off of the controversy. Giving Hinchcliffe FOUR comedy specials is reckless, irresponsible, and exploitative. Companies like Netflix need to know that their customers are paying attention and won’t stand for hateful racist content on its platform. Will you sign the petition telling Netflix executives to do what’s right and drop Tony Hinchcliffe? 

Here are some reasons why you should sign my petition: 1. Safety first: Distracted driving is a major cause of accidents. An app that tracks phone usage can help reduce distractions and make roads safer for everyone.  2. Lower Insurence rates: If Insurence companies can monitor and verify safe driving behaviors, they might offer lower premiums to drivers who avoid using their phones while driving.  3. Accountability: Such an app can encourage drivers to be more responsible and accountable for their actions behind the wheel, leading to safer driving habits.  4. Community Impact: By reducing the number of accidents caused by distracted driving, the entire community benefits. Fewer accidents mean fewer injuries and fatalities. 

We have a responsibility as flight crew to foster a safe and comfortable environment for all; this includes passengers and our fellow crew members. We do not feel some of our coworkers understand this responsibility. 

While republicans may be receiving "marching orders" to avoid town halls, it is up to us, the people, to demand them and to ensure members of congress who support the current administration answer to their actions and the impact it will have on individuals and community alike.

Ticketmaster and Live Nation have made attending concerts almost unaffordable for the average consumer. We believe this needs to change. Concerts should not cost so much that people have to go into debt to afford them. For example, concert tickets costing $500 for NOSEBLEED seats are unacceptable. Something needs to change.

It’s outrageous that Trump has given Elon Musk, an unelected, unvetted, unconfirmed billionaire, an unprecedented and unconstitutional amount of power. Musk is using it to gut the federal government as we know it. It looks like sending USAID, the U.S. government’s lead distributor of lifesaving humanitarian aid and development assistance across the globe, “into the woodchipper” (his words). Millions of lives are at immediate risk. One USAID worker estimated that as a result of Musk’s handiwork, “At a minimum, 300 babies that wouldn’t have had HIV, now do.” The kicker? Musk is working to "reduce spending" while making money hand over fist from the same Pentagon contracts that pay his own companies billions each year. Musk’s net worth has increased by $65 BILLION since Election Day — growth that’s based on an assumption he will keep those government dollars coming, and in many cases with less regulation, moving forward. It’s corruption, plain and simple, and we refuse to sit idly by and allow it to continue. The Pentagon is accountable to Congress and the public: That’s US. So let's send lawmakers a message tens of thousands of people strong, urging them to block Elon from gaining another cent of our taxpayer money, and even more power, as fast as they can NOW.

Google’s quiet removal of cultural events from their calendars last year is part of a broader trend of tech companies and businesses catering to far-right and extreme groups by rolling back inclusivity and diversity.  The removal of holidays has come under scrutiny following news reports that Google is also scaling back their diversity hiring goals in response to Donald Trump’s executive orders, and has already swiftly changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to appease Trump.  We have to use our leverage to remind Google that they should be tailoring their company to meet the needs and demands of the public—NOT serving as a proxy for Trump or Republicans.  Show Google that their customers value diversity and inclusivity. Demand the STOP rolling back inclusive policies and bring back the automatic cultural events calendar! 

Elon Musk is a massive threat to U.S. democracy.  With Trump’s support, Musk is on an unconstitutional binge.  He and his team of young racist tech bros are trying to destroy federal programs that millions of Americans depend on for our health, safety, and shared prosperity. Today, Musk is worth over $400 billion. He has built much of his wealth through billions of dollars in U.S. government incentives and contracts.  U.S. taxpayers have given billions to SpaceX and Tesla, two companies that Musk owns. Musk’s wealth is so closely tied to the federal government that he has become $218 billion richer since just 2024. Why?  Because investors and market analysts expect Musk’s companies to earn a lot more money from federal policies and contracts now that Trump is in the White House. Elon Musk is destroying our democratic system while profiting off of American taxpayers.  That’s why U.S. senators must immediately commit to blocking all legislation that funds -- or enables funding -- for Musk’s companies.  Right now, the U.S. senate has 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and two independents (Senator Angus King from Maine and Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont).  Using a filibuster, it only takes 41 senators to block the legislation that makes Elon Musk’s new wealth possible. Once it becomes clear that Musk’s companies face a serious threat to their revenue, the market value of those companies will decline.  Musk and his financial supporters will lose billions of dollars in wealth. U.S. senators must block all taxpayer funding for Elon Musk.  Senators must filibuster any legislation that funds or enables funding for SpaceX, Tesla, or any other company owned or part-owned by Musk. -------------------- SOURCES: “Elon Musk Net Worth Tops $400 Billion, a Historic First,” Dylan Sloan, Bloomberg, December 11, 2024, https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-11/elon-musk-net-worth-tops-400-billion-a-historic-first  “Musk spent more than a quarter-billion dollars to elect Trump, including funding a mysterious super PAC, new filings show,” Fredreka Schouten, David Wright, Alex Leeds Matthews, CNN, December 6, 2024, https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/05/politics/elon-musk-trump-campaign-finance-filings/index.html  “How much of Musk’s wealth comes from tax dollars and government help?” Chris Isidore, CNN, November 20, 2024,  https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/20/business/elon-musk-wealth-government-help/index.html  “Elon Musk wants to cut government spending.

All consumers are being impacted by Virginia Dominion Energy.

It’s important because if we don’t speak up now! Rates will continue to rise and we will continue to be expected to pay them regardless of the price on the bill. The city doesn’t have reliable utility assistance for its residents. Community Service doesn’t have funding… Most community organizations will tell you that the bill can’t exceed $200 dollars in order to receive assistance. So majority of our residents don’t qualify for the assistance. It’s important to remember the cost of living and minimum wage that the state still hasn’t graduated from. 

The core message of Star Trek is diversity and Mr Musk clearly violates these ideals.  We will discontinue Paramount+ services if this eggregious praise of a literal fascist is not quickly rectified

If we lose our First Amendment rights and freedom of the press, democracy is finished.  We need big media companies and powerful CEOs to stand up to Trump.
