Public schools need more staff members that have the heart and passion that Jessica and Chelsi convey.  They are both major advocates for these children and their biggest supporters in seeing them grow in a safe environment.  

The threat of ICE in schools creates unnecessary trauma, leads to damaged trust in educators, and causes students from undocumented and mixed-status families to miss school, leaving a lasting impact on their education. And surveillance and intimidation in our schools creates an unwelcoming and harmful environment for all children. Some school districts in states like California, New York, and Illinois are already taking action to protect the rights of students—and we need more districts to follow their lead and put students’ safety first.  With federal protections weakened by the Trump administration, school districts must pledge to:  • Prohibit immigration officials from entering schools if they don’t have a judicial warrant • Ensure ALL students know their rights, including that they cannot be forced to share their immigration or residency status with an ICE agent • Train all school personnel to be able to identify ICE agents and protect students Our children deserve to learn free from fear—regardless of immigration status.

Hey everyone, I’m starting a petition to bring phone use back during lunch, and I really need your support. Right now, we don’t have the freedom to use our phones during one of the only breaks we get in the day. Lunch should be our time—to relax, check in with family, listen to music, or just have a moment to ourselves. We’re trusted to use phones responsibly outside of school—why not during lunch? By signing this petition, you’re helping send a clear message to the school board: we deserve to have a voice in the rules that affect us every day. The more of us who sign, the more seriously they’ll take this issue. It’s not just about phones—it’s about fairness, trust, and being treated like the responsible students we are. So if you believe in having that choice back, take 10 seconds and add your name. Together, we can actually make a difference. Thanks for standing up with me!

JeffCo's alternative schools will serve their students best if educators have both a voice and a vote in the future of their schools!

One of the most troubling aspects of this situation is the lack of true accountability due to a major governance loophole. The district is a public school system with no military affiliation, yet it operates entirely on a military installation under what amounts to a lifetime lease of the land on which it is built. Because of this, military leadership has no authority over internal district matters, creating a serious gray area that allows district leadership to operate without oversight. Even more concerning is how school board members are not elected by the public—they’re selected by a panel that is essentially assembled by the district’s own leadership. Last year, a highly qualified individual who had been outspoken about holding the superintendent and board accountable was initially chosen for a board seat. However, the superintendent reportedly intervened by contacting a general to have that decision reversed, and was successful. The spots were then filled by individuals more aligned with the superintendent’s interests. This level of control—paired with a lack of external checks and balances—creates an environment ripe for corruption. The district’s leadership is able to maintain power and suppress dissent with little to no consequence, all made possible by the unique and deeply problematic structure of its governance.

Our children deserve a school system that puts their needs first. Our educators deserve to work in a system where funds are allocated efficiently. And our taxpayers deserve to know how their hard-earned dollars are being spent. Transparency builds trust. It is time for accountability. We urge Stamford’s elected officials to act immediately and authorize an independent audit of the Stamford Board of Education.

The UFT is a powerful union and their influence impacts local elections. The UFT must not support Andrew Cuomo.

We Call on Leaders, Lawmakers, and Voters to Reject This Proposal and Stand With the Autistic Community This is not about public health—it’s about power, control, and prejudice. We stand with the autistic community in rejecting this harmful idea and demanding a future rooted in inclusion, not surveillance. Add your name to stop this now.

Donald Trump is signing another fake executive order – one that he claims can get rid of the Department of Education, which millions of students, teachers, and parents rely on to ensure every child gets the education they deserve. How will this impact your school board, your kids' education, and the funding your local schools rely on? What opportunities could be taken away from your kids or grandkids? And without the Department of Education’s guardrails, what extreme policies could be forced onto our classrooms? We shouldn't need to keep saying this, but Trump is a president, not a king. He can't close federal agencies without Congress – his attempt to do that at USAID got shut down in court.  And if he had the votes to pass a bill, he wouldn't be staging today's stunt. That sure won't stop him from trying – no matter what our Constitution, the will of the voters, or basic common sense says.   Let's make sure this attack on our schools is dead on arrival in Congress – can you tell your lawmakers to stand up for students today?

The climate crisis is not a distant threat—it’s already reshaping our lives here in New Mexico. Our rivers are drying, our skies are thick with wildfire smoke, and our communities—especially rural, Indigenous, and low-income communities—are paying the highest price. As students at the University of New Mexico, we are not immune to these impacts. We breathe the same air, drink the same water, and live in the same heat. UNM is supposed to be a place of learning, leadership, and vision. But how can our university prepare students for the future while ignoring the single greatest threat to our generation? Acknowledging the climate emergency is more than symbolic—it’s a necessary first step toward meaningful change. It means treating the climate crisis with the urgency it deserves, holding our institution accountable to its commitments, and ensuring that students have a real voice in shaping a just and sustainable future. This campaign is about integrity. It’s about justice. And it’s about survival. When students, faculty, alumni, and community members come together, we can push institutions to change. We’ve seen it happen before, and we can do it again. Your voice, your name, your presence in this movement sends a powerful message: that UNM cannot sit on the sidelines any longer. Whether you're a student living through the heat, a faculty member concerned about the future of education, or a community member fighting for clean air and water—this is your fight too. By joining this campaign, you’re standing up for climate justice, for youth leadership, and for a university that aligns its actions with its values. You’re helping build a campus that invests in life, not fossil fuels. A campus that centers sustainability, equity, and community—not corporate interests and empty promises. This is our campus. This is our climate. This is our moment. Join us—and help make history at UNM.

Wyoming has a long history of responsible regulation of firearms. Sensitive areas such as schools, college campuses, and government buildings should not have their rights to regulate firearms removed.  • Each school district already has the right to create their own concealed carry program for staff. A few school districts have implemented successful programs while many have decided not to.  • College and University Board of Trustees already can create their own concealed carry programs. The University of Wyoming Board of Trustees voted against allowing concealed carry on campus in November of 2024.  Sign this petition today to prove that the majority of Wyomingites do not want gun free zones repealed and want to maintain local control!
