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!

When we sold Ben & Jerry’s to Unilever in 2000, the corporation set up an independent board so Ben & Jerry’s could continue its political statements and social justice work without corporate interference. Unfortunately, that’s no longer the case. It’s no surprise that all of this is happening at a time when our country’s current administration is attacking Black and brown communities, civil rights, voting rights, the rights of immigrants, women, and the LGBTQIA+ community.  Sticking up for the values of justice, equity, and our shared humanity has never been more important—and yet Ben & Jerry’s has been silenced, sidelined for fear of upsetting those in power. It’s easy to stand up and speak out when there’s nothing at risk. The real test of values is when times are challenging and you have something to lose. And we can do something about it. Join us by signing our petition demanding that Unilever stop silencing Ben & Jerry’s and be entered to win a free pint of my sorbet. Then, send it to three friends to spread the word. No purchase, payment, or contribution necessary to enter to win. Void where prohibited. Entries must be received by 11:00 p.m. on December 5, 2025. You may enter by signing the petition here. Alternatively, you can enter without signing the petition. 5 winners will each receive the following prize package: 1 pint of Ben’s pro-ceasefire sorbet, maximum cash value not to exceed $50. Odds of winning depend on number of eligible entries received. Promotion open to all U.S. citizens, or lawful permanent U.S. residents who are legal residents of the 50 United States and District of Columbia and 18 or older (or of majority under applicable law). Promotion subject to Official Rules and additional restrictions on eligibility.Sponsor: MoveOn.org Civic Action, 9450 SW Gemini Drive, #57244 Beaverton, OR 97008-7105.

Immigration is at the forefront of current events.  The constant change in our political environment has created an atmosphere of fear based on the lack of knowledge about the legitimacy of identifying ICE agents.  Now there are a few concerns with the issue at hand: 1. Although it was a false claim of ICE agents, we do not know for sure who is and who isn't ICE agents, and they have been terrorizing citizens and immigrants during this administration.   Therefore, erring on the side of safety was the best course of action to protect my constituents. 2.  Contrary to the statements of Pope Leo XIV and Archbishop Grob, as recently as October 5th, 2025 at the Jubilee of Migrants and the Jubilee of Missions, Catholic Memorial chose to terminate Alderman Rico Camacho, disregarding the Catholic doctrine that has been set forth 3.  Brian Dorrow, Ceo at SRU (Secure Resources Unlimited) and husband of elected official and sitting judge Jennifer Dorrow, informed Alderman Rico Camacho that he would "escalate" the situation in a phone conversation regarding the post and subsequent apology. Over a situation that created minimal risk to his employees, per his statements to The Waukesha Freeman. 4. The post Alderman Camacho made was as a private citizen as the City Attorney verified with his office.   5. It was based on a public concern due to the political climate on immigration in the United States; especially, since the violence is in Chicago which is near to the city.  Which causes concern again about retaliating based on a whi 6. Alderman Camacho is unaware of how the school was materially disrupted due to the Facebook post.

This petition is important in order to get the school to start taking action by   1.  Hosting assemblies or informational sessions to educate students and families on their rights and what to do in case of an emergency. 2.  Creating safe spaces on campus for students who feel anxious, unsafe, or need support. 3.  Providing online learning options (Zoom or Google Meet) for students whose families are afraid to send them to school. 4.  Issuing a public statement of solidarity affirming that Reavis is a safe and welcoming place for all students and families, regardless of immigration status.

 It would add the needed cultural, educational, and historical elements to the campus, and would serve as a major destination point for all. With the old stadium coming down, and a new planned stadium being built on the same site, now is the time to preserve, for future generations, the rich history and togetherness that this beloved structure produced.

Faculty at PGCC are the heart of the community they educate. We need to support them in the same way they support their students each and every day.

Turning Point USA targets minority groups and supports the “MRS” degree. The MRS degree is the belief woman go to college seeking marriage. Meredith College is founded on the principle women are entitled to education like anyone else. Do not let them weaken our community and commitment to keeping women educated! If you sign the petition, you’re letting our faculty and other students know we do not tolerate creating a space for chaos and needless arguing.

If you agree with this, please sign to make a change!!!

Hundreds of thousands of people WILL be impacted if these programs do not receive funding, leaving clients and students with less ability to pursue education and program staff without jobs!  I used Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) when I left the service to go back to school. Without the resources and guidance of Education Specialists with VUB, my transition would have been unimaginably difficult and I may not be where I'm at today, about to graduate and applying for my Master's degree. There are countless stories like mine, and many more who have faced even greater obstacles to try to create a better life for themselves and their families. As Upward Bound programs, including Veterans Upward Bound, near the FY deadline for the programs to continue, advocacy is needed to disburse funds to the programs. Upward Bound programs provide needed support to people from first-generation and low-income backgrounds to pursue higher education. Specific programs are tailored for high school students, veterans, and other adult learners who would other lack the opportunity to start or complete their education. The Grant Award Notices (GANs) have allocated the funding for the new fiscal year, but the funds still have not been released. If the funding is not released by September 30th, Upward Bound programs will not be able to continue providing services and the programs will end. The populations served by these programs often lack realistic opportunities to pursue or complete higher education. Having worked directly with these people, your friends, family, and coworkers, I can attest to their work ethic and passion. And that carries beyond the classroom. That same work ethic and passion will feed back into their careers and communities, making them better and stronger!

Add your name to this petition and stand with BCCC faculty, students, and community members in demanding fair treatment, real investment, and a better future for public education in Baltimore. #EducationJustice #SupportBCCC #RespectFaculty #FundOurFutures #UnionStrong

Why Springfield Needs to Act Now Our LGBTQ+ neighbors are under attack. Recent events show why sanctuary cities are more crucial than ever: • Supreme Court threats: The Supreme Court is being asked to overturn marriage equality in a case they'll consider this fall. SCOTUS has also upheld Tennessee's ban on youth gender-affirming care and Trump’s trans military ban  • Right next door: New Hampshire just became the ONLY state in New England to ban gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth, making Massachusetts a critical refuge for families across our border • Nationwide bathroom restrictions: 19 states now restrict where transgender people can use public restrooms - increasingly people get harassed to prove their gender • 988 LGBTQ+ Suicide Hotline Faces Funding Cut: HHS proposes ending government funding putting thousands of young lives at risk • Local hate crimes: Even in progressive Northampton, Pride flags were stolen and burned in the streets Springfield can be a beacon of safety and inclusion! Sign this petition to show Springfield City Council that our community demands action.   Sign if you are: ·       A Springfield, MA resident who supports LGBTQ+ rights (your signature carries the most weight with City Council) ·       A Western Massachusetts resident who cares about regional LGBTQ+ safety ·       Anyone who believes all people deserve safety and dignity ·       Ready to make Springfield a sanctuary for our most vulnerable neighbors   Springfield resident signatures will be highlighted when delivered to City Council, with broader regional support noted separately to show the widespread concern for LGBTQ+ rights in our area.   Every signature matters - sign now and share with your friends, family, and neighbors across Western Mass!   Important Note: This is a community advocacy petition to demonstrate public support for LGBTQ+ sanctuary status in Springfield.
