With the enactment of Citizens United, insider trading in all branches of government, gerrymandering, never ending debates and clashes in Congress, government shutdowns, add infinitum The loss of the people's trust and faith in government is epidemic. America is in a state of political warfare since President Trump took office in 2025. Rights, freedoms and liberties are being violated or ignored regularly. The Republican takeover of all three branches of government has been an abysmal mess for America. We need reforms to prevent these things from reoccurring. I believe my suggestions are a great place to start. Change is clearly needed.

Communities across the country are organizing against Flock’s mass surveillance. At least 56 municipalities have deactivated, canceled, or rejected Flock contracts this year, from North Carolina to California to Massachusetts. Whether or not Flock has come to your community yet, state and city leaders have the power to act. They can: • Cut or refuse contracts with Flock Safety and similar ALPR vendors • Limit data retention to hours or days, not weeks or months • Limit data sharing, prohibiting access by other government agencies absent a warrant for a felony crime recognized under local or state law • Limit usage to felony investigations, missing persons cases, identifying unregistered or uninsured vehicles, and narrow non-enforcement uses like electronic toll collection • Require annual usage reporting and restrict ALPR data availability through open records requests, so it can’t be used for stalking or exploiting someone’s data for entertainment ALPRs enable warrantless tracking, fuel mass surveillance, and produce wrongful accusations with real harm to real people. Sign the petition now calling on state and city elected officials to block Flock and protect our privacy!

Data center development is ramping up across the country and corporations have their sights set on Minnesota. As these billion dollar companies try to outpace regulations, more  than a dozen data center projects have already been proposed in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” and an active fight is taking place right in Minneapolis. Very few details have been publicly released about the proposed North Loop data center, and Minnesotans have been packing neighborhood meetings to express their concerns and outrage about the deal and the possible negative impact.  "These men don't understand the concerns of this community; they're not from this community, they're not from this state.” If this data center is allowed to progress in Minneapolis, it will embolden the dozen others proposed across the state to bulldoze over the will of the people and ram through their development with complete disregard to impacts on local communities. This stops here.  Don’t let Big Tech come in and profit off our resources and land. Add your name to the petition NOW to make it clear: No new data centers!

As one person making change is hard. That’s why I need you, your voice, your action, your compassion to fight for what’s right. When we get this Data center taken down it will help influence the masses, show them that they too have the ability to scream NO! So please, help make a change. With peaceful protests and a lot of phone calls we can make the world a better place for all of us. Take back from the greedy.

Corporate executives have been using artificial intelligence to exploit, fire, abuse, and burn out workers. Meta made news already this year for using AI to track employees' keystrokes and computer activity. It sparked backlash and led 1,600 Meta workers to organize around privacy and consent in the workplace. Meta then announced it was pausing the program. From corporation to corporation, executives have laid off tens of thousands of workers, saying that AI will replace them. Bosses have forced employees to use AI, causing an outpouring of subpar work called "workslop" that is causing burn out, also known as "AI brain fry." Workers must band together to stop this corporate AI takeover in the workplace. We must also vigorously defend our rights as workers from AI-powered discrimination and abuse. Sign this petition and call on Mark Zuckerberg to put an end to any and all workplace discrimination with AI tech!  

This isn’t an isolated incident. ICE has deployed agents to at least 25 airports nationwide, and arrests are climbing fast. Airports are quickly becoming a new front line, and airline employees are becoming the last line of defense for passengers being targeted.  The July 25 standoff in Dallas is one of at least six similar incidents involving Southwest employees in recent weeks, according to internal documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. These workers are making split-second calls to protect their passengers, with no concrete company policy behind them and their own jobs and safety on the line.  And it’s not just Southwest workers sounding the alarm. The union representing flight attendants across at least 20 other airlines has already warned the industry in writing that ICE’s expanding presence at gates and on jet bridges raises serious safety and legal concerns—including reports of agents boarding planes to interrogate and harass passengers who aren’t even their targets.  When asked directly about its role in these detentions, Southwest's response wasn't reassurance. Instead the company pointed out that TSA and DHS already have access to passenger data through the standard federal screening process.  Sign the petition: Tell Southwest to stand up and protect its employees and passengers! 

Destructive data centers could soon pop up near you if folks like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have their way. AI data centers bring noise, light, air, and water pollution, and create astronomical energy costs. It’s no surprise 63% of Americans oppose them being built in their communities. But tech billionaires and warhawks like Hegseth aren’t worried about all that. They see an opportunity to supercharge AI-powered warfare, and they’re demanding billions of dollars and hundreds of acres to build data centers across the country. Public lands should not be turned into sacrifice zones for an AI arms race — and we need to act now. Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s No AI Data Centers on Federal Lands Act would BAN data centers and associated infrastructure on land owned or managed by the U.S. government, including on military bases. It’s a necessary safeguard, and we need to push every lawmaker to go on the record: Will you protect communities from bearing the energy, water, pollution, and infrastructure costs that data centers bring? Or will you join with Hegseth and Big Tech to accelerate AI-powered warfare?

AI technology is advancing faster than community leaders and elected officials can keep up, and in Ohio, many of these data centers are going up without full transparency around who is behind them. Meanwhile, billionaires are getting richer from data centers that put a drain on local communities and force everyday people to foot the bill.  A 2022 study from UCLA and Columbia University found that historically redlined communities face the brunt of the pollution and toxicity from data centers.  Our communities will only suffer more with the construction of more centers and we deserve better.  Sign the petition calling for a data center moratorium!

West Orange, a beautiful and thriving community in New Jersey, is facing a critical decision: whether to approve zoning variances that could fundamentally alter its character and quality of life. As residents, we cherish our town's unique blend of suburban charm and natural beauty, along with its vibrant community spirit. However, the proposed zoning variances threaten these treasured aspects of West Orange. Zoning variances may lead to overdevelopment, increased traffic congestion, threats of severe explosion and fire hazards, environmental problems and strain on our already burdened infrastructure. Historically, similar developments in other communities have resulted in negative environmental and health impacts, such as loss of green spaces, increased pollution levels and other problems. According to a study by the Urban Land Institute, unchecked growth can lead to a decrease in property values and quality of life. We must prevent this from happening in our town. Moreover, these zoning changes could pave the way for corporate and industrial interests to take precedence over the needs of local residents. Small businesses, which are the backbone of our local economy, may suffer as high-rise developments and big-box stores replace beloved local shops and eateries. Communities like ours thrive on character and local engagement, not on imposing developments that ignore the essence of our town. Instead, we should prioritize smart growth strategies that respect the environment, maintain our town’s charm, and meet the real needs of all residents. This includes supporting developments that enhance our community without compromising our values. We urge our local authorities to consider sustainable alternatives that foster economic growth while preserving West Orange's unique character. And we call upon the members of the zoning board to reject these proposed variances and engage with community stakeholders in meaningful dialogue to address growth concerns in ways that benefit and respect everyone in West Orange. This is an opportunity to show that responsible and thoughtful planning can lead to long-lasting prosperity for all. SIGN THIS PETITION TO PROTECT WEST ORANGE FROM UNNECESSARY ZONING VARIANCES AND ENSURE A SAFE, PROSPEROUS FUTURE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO MAINTAIN THE VALUES AND CHARM THAT MAKES WEST ORANGE A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE! 

CoreCivic and GEO Group, the nation's two largest private prison corporations, operate more than half of all ICE detention facilities. While most major banks have cut ties with the private prison industry after years of public pressure, Citizens Bank has gone the other direction. Since 2012, it has helped these companies access more than $2.5 billion in financing and even expanded GEO Group's credit line by another $100 million earlier this year. Public deposits are valuable business for banks. Cities and states entrust hundreds of millions—and collectively more than $750 billion—in taxpayer dollars to financial institutions, generating significant revenue and providing capital that supports their business. This is real leverage for city leaders to hold Citizens Bank accountable and dismantle detention infrastructure. We've already seen this strategy work. Last month, the Jersey City Council voted to move $265 million in public funds out of Citizens Bank because of the bank's financing of CoreCivic and GEO Group. Now it's time for more cities to follow Jersey City's lead and use public dollars to pressure Citizens Bank to end its support for immigrant detention.

This campaign is about more than stillbirth. It is about compassion, dignity, and ensuring that no Texas family has to choose between healing and earning a living after an unimaginable loss. Stillbirth is a tragedy that can affect any family, regardless of age, race, income, or background. While we cannot prevent every loss, we can change how families are supported afterward. By joining this campaign, you are standing for: • Healthy families. Parents deserve the time and support needed to recover physically and emotionally after childbirth and the loss of a baby. • Stronger workplaces. Compassionate policies help employers retain experienced employees, improve morale, and foster workplaces where people know they will be supported during life's most difficult moments. • Better mental health. Early access to counseling and workplace flexibility can help reduce the long-term effects of grief and trauma, allowing parents to return to work healthier and more prepared. • Economic stability. No parent should have to worry about losing a paycheck, health insurance, or a career while recovering from childbirth and grieving their child. • A stronger Texas. Supporting families during times of crisis builds healthier communities, strengthens the workforce, and demonstrates the values of compassion, resilience, and responsibility. You do not have to have experienced stillbirth to make a difference. You may sign because you are a parent, a grandparent, a friend, a coworker, a healthcare professional, an employer, or simply someone who believes that every family deserves compassion. Together, we can help create a Texas where every mother who experiences stillbirth is given the time, support, and dignity she needs to heal without fearing the loss of her job. Your voice matters. Your signature matters. Together, our voices can change lives. We're not asking for sympathy. We're advocating for a stronger Texas workforce, healthier families, and policies that recognize the realities of childbirth, postpartum recovery, and the profound impact of stillbirth.

These projects raise serious concerns about the data centers potential impact on the residents, wildlife, and the environment. Continuous noise generated by cooling systems, generators, and facility operations. Potential low frequency humming and increased decibel levels that WILL affect any nearby homes and quality of life. Stress and welfare concerns for household pets. Potential impact on local wildlife and habitats. Increased demand on ENERGY and WATER. Changes to rural and residential areas. Increased traffic, construction disturbances, and long term industrialization on the area.  We believe development should be balanced with responsible planning that protect the people, animals, natural resources, and character of our county. Therefore, we respectfully request that local officials conduct a thorough and TRANSPARENT review of all impacts. Prioritize the health, wellbeing, and voices of county residents in the decision making process.  We are also worried that infrastructure costs whether through increased utility rates, taxes, or public spending will fall on the residents, raising household bills over time. We want TRANSPARENCY regarding who truly pays for it.  Our county, our residents, and our wildlife deserve thoughtful protection. Please sign the petition to help our county from inappropriate data centers development. Thank you!!
