As the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) prepares to mark up the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), we’ve got a critical first opportunity to block Trump’s record-breaking Pentagon budget: The good news? Lawmakers already know Trump’s $1.5 trillion Pentagon topline is a nonstarter — and key HASC members are already racing to stop it. That includes Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), who has introduced an amendment that would CUT the Pentagon topline before the NDAA even reaches the House floor. This amendment is our first opportunity to derail Trump’s $1.5 trillion war budget, so we’re going all out to rally support amongst HASC members to get it passed. They need to hear from you too.

Dear Neighbors, We need your help to protect our neighborhood from a proposed commercial rezoning project near 2330 McFarland Road in Raymond, MS. We are working to safeguard our community from developments that could increase costs, impact safety, and decrease our property values. The Ecowomanist Institute Southeast Corp (EWISE) formally submitted this request in conjunction with a permit filed on May 27, 2026. While their specific intentions for the project remain unclear, the proposal involves 196 acres of land on McFarland Road within our private residential area. This project will disrupt our community by causing unnecessary traffic, decrease in property values, potential crime, diminished infrastructure requiring future maintenance and higher taxes. Please take a moment to sign the petition to prevent this Special Use Permit. We must act now to preserve our neighborhood; please sign the petition and forward this email to others in the area. Thank you for your support. Best Regard

A sitting president buying and trading stocks that they have direct insider information about and influence over is a clear ethical violation and conflict of interest.  White House spokespeople insist that Trump has no input into these trades and that his portfolio is entirely managed by third-party advisers. But the evidence speaks for itself.  Trump bought millions in Nvidia stock only one week before approving it to start selling its advanced computer chips to China, which sent its stocks soaring. He bought millions in Palantir stock right around the time the company signed a billion-dollar deal with the Department of Homeland Security. He bought stock in Thermo Fisher Scientific the exact same day he toured its facilities.  The sheer consistency of this pattern makes it nearly impossible to accept that Trump has no influence over these trades. But insider trading isn’t the only problem. Trump has repeatedly taken to social media and public speeches to talk up companies he holds stock in, directly inflating the value of his investments using the platform of the presidency.  Meanwhile, everyday Americans are living through the worst cost-of-living crisis in recent history. Groceries, housing, healthcare, and other basic necessities have all become crushing costs for millions of families. While working people are struggling to get by, the president is running a personal enrichment operation out of the Oval Office.  The office of the president is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Sign the petition to stop Trump’s shameless corruption and demand a stock trading ban for all high-level public officials! 

The Department of Defense regularly fails independent financial audits regarding where the Pentagon budget is spent. The precedent to continuously allow the Pentagon to increase its budget without any sort of accountability must end.    The federal government continues to put the needs of people last, and wonder why people no longer have faith in our federal institutions. Many Americans are feeling the financial strain of higher costs at the gas pump and the grocery store. People are having to get second and third jobs to make ends meet while rent increases. Time and financial investment in warfare continue despite working people across the country suffering from instability, healthcare cuts, unaffordable housing, and cuts to programs that support children and our caregivers.    An intentional decrease of the Pentagon budget is about making real safety and security possible for all of us: safe homes, healthy children and families, affordable care, strong schools, and a government that shows up when people need it.    Congress must cut the Pentagon budget and reject any NDAA or defense spending package that locks in another round of military expansion, especially at the expense of our domestic programs that support families.    Every dollar spent on the Pentagon is a dollar siphoned away from essential programming everyday people rely on to survive.    Congress should stop writing blank checks for war and start investing in US!

This didn’t happen overnight. For decades, the cost of housing has dramatically outpaced income growth. Median home prices have surged more than 415% since 1985, while median household incomes have risen only about 250% in that same time.  We’re also facing a serious housing supply shortage, while investors are buying up single-family homes at an alarming rate and driving up rent prices for everyone else. Everyday Americans are being squeezed out of the market by hedge funds and investors who see our homes as profit opportunities.  This impacts all of us. From renters to aspiring homeowners, young people to retirees, rural communities to urban neighborhoods, we are all feeling the burden of this housing crisis.  Our leaders have a responsibility to act. Specifically, we’re calling on Congress to: • Provide assistance to first-time homeowners for down payments, closing costs, and mortgage interest rate buydowns • Expand public housing and rental assistance programs • Prevent corporate investors from buying single-family homes • Build and preserve affordable housing to increase supply  Everyone, regardless of income level, should have access to affordable housing. Home ownership shouldn’t be reserved for the wealthy and elite. Sign the petition to demand that our elected officials end the housing crisis. 

Music is a part of the majority of lives all over the world. Whether it's listening to big mainstream artists or small independent ones, they all shape how our society runs as a whole. While benefits of hard work are reaped by the record labels and artists, the cut of pay is unfair for the artists that are trying to make a living off of their music. If this problem persists, the world of music as we know it can become a very dull, 2 dimensional industry with little means of variety and diversity.

Guaranteed paid vacation doesn’t just benefit individual workers, it would strengthen the whole economy. Research has found that when workers take time off, they contribute to the economy, tax revenue grows and jobs are supported across retail, hospitality, manufacturing, and other sectors. Paid vacation isn’t only the right thing to do but a smart investment in the whole economy.  Guaranteed paid time off is the norm for a number of countries across the world, and it should be for the United States as well. Any true affordability agenda should work towards protecting families from burnout, and giving people the space to build better lives. We believe every worker deserves time to rest, recharge, and live with dignity. Add your name to support guaranteed paid vacation for all workers. 

Today, a billionaire could be buying a $100 million private jet. But you’re paying for it too. Thanks to a tax rule called bonus depreciation, that billionaire could get $40 million back, immediately, as tax savings. A “bonus” indeed, paid for by working people like you and me. This is a giveaway, subsidizing the richest Americans for one of their most antisocial behaviors, and making working Americans pick up the tab. It’s a waste of public money while so many are struggling with affordability, and it’s an insult to the rest of us. We must close this loophole, and that's what HR 8644, the Stop Subsidizing Private Jets Act would do. It was just introduced by three House Democrats: Eugene Vindman (VA), Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI), and Greg Landsman (OH). Add your name to show your support for this long-overdue change.

Three workers died at Amazon facilities in New Jersey in 2022. Another in Colorado Springs that same year. Sadly, the list goes on. There's no excuse for this to happen at Amazon. Analysis based on a 2024 federal report from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), showed that Amazon's fulfillment centers report injuries more than two times as much as the warehouse industry average. Amazon workers accounted for 39% of all warehouse workers in the United States but Amazon reported 56% of all serious injuries in the industry.   A Senate report at the end of 2024 revealed that these issues could be even worse than that. The report said, Amazon “manipulates its workplace injury data to portray its warehouses as safer than they actually are.” The PDX9 warehouse in Oregon where the worker died in early April has a reputation for harsh conditions. 26% of employees at the fulfillment center suffered from injuries, according to investigative reports. Amazon has no excuse for the rate of injuries, the unsafe working conditions, and outright neglect.  Sign this petition urging Amazon CEO Andy Jassy to take immediate action to improve safety standards in Amazon warehouses and improve working conditions for all Amazon workers.

Every day, creators build the content that powers platforms like TikTok—yet most earn only pennies per thousand views while the platform makes billions from their work.    This isn’t just about social media. It’s about a system where the people creating the value are the ones paid the least, with no stability or protections.    If creators stop, the entire platform stops. It’s time for fair pay, transparency, and real protections in the digital economy.
