High student loan interest rates contribute to delayed homeownership, reduce GDP growth, increase financial stress, and widen inequality in access to higher education. Many students want higher education for better opportunities and access to high-paying jobs, but the burden of taking out loans makes this not possible for all. 

Each time mergers happen between large corporations, consumers suffer. Prices go up, quality goes down. We lose choice. That’s why anti-trust laws are fundamentally pro-consumer and pro-worker. We don’t want to pay a tax to watch “Stranger Things” or “Squid Game.” These mergers also hurt the entire movie industry. Fewer films are produced, which hurts the writers, actors, designers, technicians, editors, and all the related fields that support film production. Movie theaters no longer have enough movies to keep their doors open. Creative output is diminished, fewer voices are heard, and fewer stories are shared. Netflix has already raised prices significantly in the past few years (taking advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic) and did a price increase this year. Enough is enough. Media monopolies are bad. Period.  It’s no wonder voices from both sides of the aisle are raising concerns. When Elizabeth Warren and Mike Lee agree, you have to realize that this idea must really be horrible. A Netflix/Warner Bros. deal would be disastrous to consumers, creators, the economy, and the industry. Don’t let Netflix kill movies!

This petition is for CorePower community members who •  believe their instructors and studio cleaners deserve a fair wage • are sick (sometimes literally) of ringworm-infested studios

The death of Marchello Woodard in Erie, PA, left his family and the community with unanswered questions and a sense of injustice. Independent oversight is necessary to ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability in how this case is handled.We are concerned about impartiality in this case. The Erie County District Attorney appeared on a public podcast with the parole officer involved in my father’s death. This connection raises questions about a conflict of interest and makes it critical that an independent investigation be conducted to ensure transparency and accountability. Why others should join: • Community trust: When investigations are delayed or unclear, public trust in law enforcement and local officials is eroded. • Accountability: Independent investigation ensures that any misconduct, errors, or mishandling are addressed. • Justice for families: Marchello’s family deserves answers and closure, and your support helps amplify their voice. • Prevent future tragedies: Oversight and transparency can help prevent similar cases in the future. By signing this petition, you are standing with the family and the community to demand that the authorities act responsibly and transparently.

The Morea Road warehouse project must be reevaluated because it will permanently reshape the community, placing a massive industrial facility only 300 yards from existing homes, increasing noise, air pollution, and heavy truck traffic while destroying local green space and wildlife habitat. Residents were never properly notified or given the chance to participate in earlier decisions, despite the project’s direct impact on their safety, health, property values, and quality of life. Ensuring thorough environmental studies, transparent public communication, and responsible planning is essential not to stop progress, but to protect families and preserve the long-term well-being and livability of Mahanoy Township for current and future generations.

Current street designs are dangerous, especially for those outside of a vehicle.  They encourage driver speeds in excess of posted speed limits causing crashes that frequently injure or kill our most vulnerable road users, despite being a public space that should be welcoming and accessible by all.  We want changes in our road designs so that residents of Bergen County feel comfortable and safe using any form of transportation they choose, whether they are walking, biking, driving, or taking public transit.

Edgecombe County Manager Eric Evans said in a Nov. 12 interview with the Rocky Mount Telegram that Energy Storage Solutions expects “about 500 jobs” to be created by the project; in Data Center Knowledge, Shaffer said the development will “support more than 1,000 employees.” Evans also stated the sale will be 122 acres, while Shaffer said in Data Center Knowledge that the project will cover 300 acres.  The community group filed a public record request with the Edgecombe County attorney’s office Thursday for copies of the latest version of the project proposal to verify these unconfirmed latest numbers. Lack of information about jobs – how many will actually be created, whether these jobs will be permanent facility-based jobs or temporary construction jobs, and whether Edgecombe County residents will be prioritized in recruiting – is one of many major unknowns that have led activists to oppose of the county’s sale of the land to the developer. Kingsboro/Bulluck community resident and organizer Janice Bulluck said of the upcoming Dec. 1 vote, “I would hope the County Commissioners consider their moral obligation to their constituents with noise pollution, water usage and pollution, and other unknowns.” “In the long term, this is not going to be in the best interest for the residents,” Bulluck said.

Starbucks claims a fair contract would hurt customers, but customers overwhelmingly say stores are short staffed and service has suffered. It’s clear that Starbucks is refusing accountability for its massive labor law violations and is willing to use customers and workers as scapegoats for their corporate greed.  Starbucks can easily afford to do right by its workers; a fair contract would cost them less than one day of sales. It’s time for Starbucks to return to the bargaining table and recognize the workers who make its success possible.  What’s happening right now with Starbucks, from mass labor law violations to a Trump-appointed judge stripping away damages owed to a Starbucks organizer, shows exactly how the corporate elite are protected by politicians while the rest of us are left to fight to meet our basic needs. Starbucks workers need your solidarity as they begin their nationwide strike.  Workers make Starbucks’ profits possible, period. Sign the petition now to demand Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol come to the bargaining table and stop union busting! 

The recent declaration of emergency acknowledges the state of our community and what so many in our community have long known and lived: that Federal Immigration Enforcement has turned into a state sanctioned terror group, causing fear, anxiety and economic hardship on vulnerable neighbors in our community.  As stated in the declaration itself:  “These immigrant neighbors, coworkers, and classmates are a vital piece of the fabric of the Washington County community,” the declaration adds. “Recent data from the State of Oregon shows a significant negative impact to immigrant’s health and well-being such as anxiety, sleeplessness, or worsening health due to fear of being targeted, detained, or simply looking or sounding like an immigrant; and … increased immigration enforcement within Washington County has caused residents to fear leaving their homes to go to work, school, take public transportation, access County services, and attend medical appointments; and other necessary daily activities.” We need the support of our community members to encourage our law enforcement to protect the citizens of Forest Grove, Cornelius and Hillsboro from the aggressive, unconstitutional and lawless abuses committed by ICE agents. We need everyone - neighbors, elected officials and law enforcement - to come together to affirm our belief in the Constitution, rule of law, and the safety and dignity of residents and families. 

In this economy, affordable, reliable, and sustainable transportation is hard to come by. Students with limited resources fall through the cracks and end up paying inaccessible fees for this basic human right. Between 2019 and 2025, students who ride the Long Beach Transit (LBT) buses to and from campus have experienced a 1900 percent increase in semester bus pass fees. The Students for Transportation Access Network (STAN) affirms that reliable and accessible transportation is a basic need, and educational institutions should provide a safety net for students who fall through the cracks of inaccessible pricing options. Stand with us to make transportation accessible, affordable, and sustainable at CSULB!

Every citizen of the United States should sign this petition. This petition is a reminder to our elected leaders to uphold their oaths of office and not play political games with the American People. The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land, everyone should read it. This document is the foundation of the United States Government, it literally defines the government, it's powers and duties. Checks and balances between the branches of government are extremely important, they protect the integrity of our nation. Without these checks the nation goes into a constitutional crisis, which is extremely dangerous to our freedoms and democracy. The founders who wrote the United States Constitution trusted the branches to uphold and defend the Supreme law of the Land, that is why they all are required to take the oath of office: President of the United States oath "... protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" All other elected/appointed to an offices oath "...I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic..." Please take a moment and sign this petition and help remind our elected officials of their oath of office. Let us protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
