The constitution of a country is the foundation that defines the relationship between citizens and the state. Decisions that change the way leaders are elected, institutions operate, and citizens participate in governance affect every Zimbabwean, regardless of political affiliation. This issue is important because: • A constitution belongs to the people. Citizens must have confidence that major constitutional changes reflect their views, concerns, and aspirations. • Strong democratic institutions protect everyone. Independent institutions, accountability, and citizen participation help protect the rights of all Zimbabweans. • Good governance affects daily life. Transparency, accountability, and responsible leadership directly influence jobs, healthcare, education, public services, and economic opportunities. • The future generation is affected. Constitutional decisions made today will shape Zimbabwe’s political and social environment for years to come. • Peace depends on trust. A country is more stable when citizens believe that their voices matter and that important decisions are made through inclusive processes. WHY SHOULD PEOPLE JOIN THIS CAMPAIGN FOR CHANGE? People should join because this is not only about one political party or one group of citizens. It is about ensuring that every Zimbabwean has a voice in decisions that shape the future of the country. By joining this campaign, citizens can: • Stand for meaningful participation in national decisions. • Promote accountability and transparency. • Support peaceful dialogue and constitutional governance. • Protect the rights and interests of future generations. • Encourage leaders to listen to the concerns of ordinary citizens. This campaign is built on the belief that Zimbabwe’s future should be shaped through the participation, dignity, and confidence of its people. Together, citizens can peacefully advocate for a Zimbabwe where institutions are trusted, leaders are accountable, and every person’s voice matters.

Trump has refused to rule out deploying the U.S. military to polling sites this November and has called to “nationalize” voting in battleground states. If you’re outraged and worried, you’re not alone. Luckily, lawmakers like Sen. Slotkin are working to block Trump’s shameless and dangerous attempt to intimidate voters and suppress turnout with legislation like the Protect Our Polls Act. They aren’t waiting until it’s too late to react — and neither are we. We’ve already seen Trump follow through on past authoritarian threats, and we can’t risk him doing it again. We know nothing short of our democracy is at stake. That’s why we need to sound the alarm and push members of Congress to keep our elections safe by supporting this common-sense legislation.

You’ve likely read about this year’s July 4th celebrations here in DC: a sad state fair, a crumbling stage, and a late-night rambling speech. But if you’d been here, you would have also seen some of the 5,000 National Guard troops — the equivalent of eight Army battalions — that Trump has stationed in the capital. As an organization committed to peace, we refuse to see our communities militarized and troops weaponized against the people they’re sworn to protect. We haven’t forgotten about Trump’s domestic deployments, and we won’t stop speaking out or responding with our vision of a world where people live and thrive free from violence. We aren’t powerless in the face of Trump’s authoritarian power grab. State governors still maintain control and command of these National Guard troops. That means the same governors who have helped normalize soldiers on our streets also have the power to say “no more” by recalling their National Guard forces. But they aren’t likely to act without public pressure, which is why we’re sending a resounding message to ALL governors reminding them that troops don’t belong on our streets:

Disabled veterans answered our nation's call without hesitation. They served, sacrificed, and returned home carrying the lasting physical and emotional effects of that service. Yet many Pennsylvania veterans are denied property tax relief because of outdated requirements that have little to do with their sacrifice. Under current law, a veteran can be service-connected disabled, honorably discharged, and still be denied assistance because they did not serve during a qualifying wartime period, do not meet a financial-need test, or are rated below 100% disabled. House Bill 1257 would modernize Pennsylvania's Disabled Veterans' Real Estate Tax Exemption by recognizing that service-connected disabilities affect veterans regardless of when they served or whether they meet an arbitrary income threshold. The bill would expand eligibility to veterans rated 50% or higher disabled, remove the wartime-service requirement, eliminate the financial-need requirement, and continue full relief for veterans rated 100% disabled or compensated at the 100% rate due to unemployability. For many veterans, this is not simply about taxes. It is about keeping the home they worked hard to build after serving their country. Rising property taxes have created financial pressure for disabled veterans living on fixed incomes, and many fear being priced out of the communities they fought to protect. Veterans across Pennsylvania have described HB 1257 as a meaningful step toward ensuring that those who sacrificed for our freedoms can remain in their homes with dignity. Pennsylvania's disabled veterans upheld their commitment to this Commonwealth and this nation. House Bill 1257 is an opportunity for Pennsylvania to uphold its commitment to them. TAKE ACTION TODAY Signing this petition is the first step. If you are a Pennsylvania resident, please take two additional minutes to contact your State Senator and ask them to support HB 1257. Find your State Senator here: https://www.palegis.us/find-my-legislator  Then send the message below: "I am a Pennsylvania resident and I urge you to support House Bill 1257. Disabled veterans should not be denied property tax relief because of an income cap or outdated eligibility requirements. HB 1257 passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support and deserves a vote in the Senate. Please support Pennsylvania's disabled veterans and move HB 1257 forward." One phone call or email may seem small, but when hundreds of veterans and supporters speak up together, legislators listen.

The death penalty in Kansas is deeply dysfunctional and has been administered in an unjust manner that has drained vast public resources without improving public safety. There has not been an execution in Kansas in more than 60 years, but the state continues to spend millions on this flawed system. Commuting all death sentences will address the system’s deep flaws while allowing resources to be redirected to more effective public safety programs. Commuting death sentences also demonstrates strong leadership and sends a powerful message to Kansans that it is time to consider repealing the death penalty. The governor should take time to consider this issue thoroughly and not try to expedite the process.

Big Tech and Trump want to tie states’ hands from regulating AI, going as far to make it illegal. The Great American AI Act threatens to erase hard-won AI safeguards in many states around the country. States are our first line of defense against the harms of AI and Big Tech is working to take them down. Demand Congress and Rep. Lori Trahan reject legislation that would erase AI safeguards that states have enacted to protect their residents!

The Pentagon budget now exceeds $800 billion annually, yet persistent issues raise questions about whether this spending actually improves safety for service members or citizens. High-profile cost overruns (such as the F-35 program), repeated audit failures for decades, and documented environmental harms like PFAS contamination near military bases show systemic inefficiencies and risks to our communities.  At the same time, Trump and Hegseth’s predisposition toward violence and aggression has led to an outright war in Iran, and increased conflict in the Middle East. These recent escalations highlight how militarism unchecked can endanger both civilians and service members. We need to prioritize investments in diplomacy and community resilience that will make all of our communities safer. Sign the petition if you agree!

The importance of this campaign, and why others should join, is rooted in the necessity of correcting historical truth and establishing a future built on sovereign authority rather than administrative erasure.   Why This Campaign Is Important  Restoration of Historical Truth: The campaign addresses the systemic misclassification of Indigenous populations, which has suppressed identities and erased the legal and cultural recognition of these Nations for centuries.    Reclaiming Stewardship: It is essential for the return of control over ancestral lands, resources, and cultural heritage, which were often stripped away through displacement, flooding of ancestral towns, or the destruction of sacred burial sites.    Enforceable Justice: By framing restoration as an "administrative correction" grounded in federal and international statutes—such as NAGPRA, the Marshall Trilogy, and UNDRIP—the campaign transforms abstract grievances into actionable, legally sound demands.    Breaking Cycles of Trauma: It addresses the intergenerational impact of historical trauma, including the forced assimilation and marginalization that resulted from being mislabeled under obsolete categories like "Negro" or "slave".   Why Others Should Join the Campaign  Participation in a Factual Correction: Joining this effort means contributing to a monumental shift in history where the record is corrected to reflect the actual, documented identity of the original inhabitants of the Americas.    Supporting Sovereign Autonomy: By supporting this cause, allies and stakeholders help create the framework for Nations to manage their own education, economic systems, and cultural preservation, ensuring future generations are not defined by historical misclassification.    Upholding Universal Rights: This campaign advocates for principles of self-determination recognized internationally; supporting it aligns one with the global movement for Indigenous rights and the protection of cultural integrity.    Building a Legacy of Justice: The campaign is not merely about the past; it is about establishing a precedent where justice is not a favor granted, but a truth recognized, creating a foundation for equitable treatment and sustainable development for all historically misclassified peoples.   This movement seeks to honor the "rightful custodians" of the land by ensuring that the "story and authority" of these Nations is restored through "incontrovertible historical evidence".   

It’s unjust for government and court offices to operate on this day for several key reasons: • Disregard for a Federal Holiday: Juneteenth is a recognized federal holiday. Operating the courthouse signals that local civic and judicial branches are not fully participating in honoring the emancipation of enslaved people. [1, 2] • Symbolic Erasure: For many, the courthouse is a potent symbol of justice and the law. Keeping it open is viewed as a continuation of historical inequities where the American legal system has historically failed or marginalized Black Americans. [1, 2] • Contradictory Civic Values: Because the county grants paid holidays for other historic milestones, the exclusion of Juneteenth from the court's calendar is often seen by civil rights advocates as a minimization of the struggles and contributions of African Americans.
