Friends in Seminole County,  Please consider signing this petition to get ICE out of our beloved County. Let's let their cruelty strengthen our solidarity. 💪 Recent atrocities committed against both immigrants and citizens under the Trump administration have shone a light on abuses of power by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its parent agency, Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Since ICE and CBP were established in 2003, the agencies have terrorized immigrant communities, conducted unconstitutional border checkpoints, torn apart families, denied immigrants their due process rights, and subjected detained immigrants to physical, sexual, and mental abuse. The killing of Renee Good in Minnesota was the 9th ICE shooting since September 2025. ICE also received an influx of billions in additional funding from the so-called "One Big Beautiful" bill. The bill placed no guardrails or conditional oversight on the use of this money, essentially creating a $75 billion slush fund for ICE to continue their violent attacks on communities across the country. This lawless and violent agency must be defunded and dissolved for good. Thank you for standing up for our Community and making our streets safer for everyone.

Simple:  We did the work. We followed the law. Now the government must do the same! Others should join this campaign because what’s happening with PSLF buyback delays affects far more than just individual borrowers—it threatens the credibility of public service, the rule of law, and basic government accountability. Here are the strongest reasons, framed in a way that motivates people to act: 1. It’s a broken legal promise, not a handout PSLF is federal law. Borrowers already earned forgiveness through years of qualifying public service. Allowing intentional stalling sets a dangerous precedent: the government can delay long enough to effectively deny benefits without ever saying “no.” If this stands, any statutory benefit can be undermined the same way. 2. Collective pressure is the only leverage borrowers have Individual complaints are easy to ignore. Coordinated action—letters, congressional pressure, media attention—creates oversight risk the Department cannot dismiss. History shows PSLF progress only happened when borrowers organized and applied sustained pressure. Silence guarantees delay. Visibility forces action. 3. The harm is real and ongoing Every delayed buyback decision: • Prolongs financial stress • Delays retirement, homeownership, and family planning • Traps public servants in jobs they might otherwise leave • Undermines mental health and financial stability This isn’t bureaucratic inconvenience—it’s systemic harm. 4. Public service depends on trust Teachers, nurses, social workers, first responders, and nonprofit workers accepted lower pay because PSLF was part of the compensation package. If the government quietly dismantles forgiveness through inaction, future workers will avoid public service entirely. That hurts everyone. 5. Today it’s PSLF—tomorrow it’s something else Even people without student loans should care. If agencies can stall lawful benefits to avoid political or budgetary consequences, no program is safe. Accountability now protects all future beneficiaries of federal programs. 6. Momentum is building—but it needs numbers Oversight bodies, journalists, and lawmakers pay attention when they see patterns. Each additional voice strengthens the case that this is systemic, not anecdotal. Borrowers speaking together turn “delays” into documented misconduct. 7. This is winnable PSLF buyback already exists. The law is settled. The issue is execution, not eligibility. That makes this campaign practical, targeted, and achievable—pressure can force timelines, transparency, and approvals.

Keeping family's together is one of the most important things their is. Making sure family's know their rights and are treated fairly and justly should be mandatory for everyone . Irreversible harm is done to families every day and it needs to stop.

The Sheriff's office is tasked with the security of courthouses in Philadelphia, including the Criminal Justice Center. Sheriff Bilal is allowing ICE to use the courthouse as a hunting ground to conduct violent warrantless arrests. Sheriff Bilal's inaction continues to put all Philadelphians in harm's way, as everyone's access to justice is jeopardized. The Sheriff has taken multiple opportunities to speak to the press about how dangerous ICE agents are, yet her deputy sheriffs continue to share information with ICE, harass community members observing ICE abductions, and allow ICE agents to stalk the courthouse hallways, hang out in the lobby, move freely through restricted area, use the private court-owned parking lot to violently abduct our neighbors, and assault bystanders for daring to film them. Sheriff Bilal does not hold her deputies accountable for collaborating with ICE agents — which is a violation of her office's current policy. All the while, she refuses to meet with No ICE Philly and community organizations about how she can keep our neighbors safe. Sheriff Bilal claims she can't take action, but we know the sheriff is not powerless. Join us in demanding Sheriff Bilal take action to keep ICE out of our courthouse, hold collaborating deputy sheriffs accountable, and protect our neighbors seeking access to justice.

An ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mom of three, in Minneapolis. It’s a disturbing, unnecessary tragedy, and our hearts go out to her family and loved ones. In response, the White House propaganda machine went on the offensive with falsehoods that directly contradict widely shared video footage of the murder, while Secretary of Homeland Security Noem attacked the victim and defended the shooting. They’re scrambling to tell you lies to distract you from the truth: They are building a world where federal agents can terrorize communities and murder a woman in broad daylight and face no consequences. If you’ve had enough of ICE’s lawless violence, it’s time to speak out: Defund ICE!

Why This Is Important: Animal testing and abuse cause pain, fear, and suffering to living beings who cannot protect themselves. Animals feel emotions, form bonds, and experience distress just like humans do, and harming them for non-essential products such as cosmetics and household items is unnecessary and unfair. Today, science provides many cruelty-free alternatives that are safer, more accurate, and more ethical than outdated animal experiments. Protecting animals reflects our values as a society and teaches compassion, responsibility, and respect for all life.

  We, the undersigned, emphasize that Venezuela poses no real threat to U.S. national security. While our country faces serious internal challenges, any military action against Venezuela would not benefit the American people; rather, it would waste vital national resources and further destabilize the region.  Historical experience has shown that military intervention in Latin America does not lead to sustainable outcomes. Diplomacy and peaceful, strategic engagement are the best paths to ensuring America’s true security and interests.    Sign if you agree:         “War with Venezuela brings no security; let us choose peace and rationality.” 

At a moment when public trust in democratic institutions is being tested, Congress must be clear that the use of armed U.S. servicemembers to advance a political agenda—whether through deployment, intimidation, or interference in domestic affairs—undermines the checks and balances that protect our Republic. On November 19th, 2025, Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, and Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan released a video reminding members of the U.S. armed forces of their obligation to refuse illegal orders.  In response, the Trump Administration unleashed a torrent of violent rhetoric, including President Trump posting on social media that these lawmakers should perhaps be executed.  Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has announced a sham Pentagon investigation targeting Senator Kelly, a retired Navy Captain.  These actions violate some of the most basic principles of our democracy. We believe elected officials should ensure that members of the military know their rights and the resources available to them should they find themselves in situations where they may receive illegal orders. We call on ALL members of Congress to stand with their six colleagues and remind the Executive Branch that the United States military is not a political instrument, but an institution loyal to the Constitution and to the country, not to any president or political party.

Nearly 180,000 Miami-Dade residents currently have no representative in the Florida House. With a full legislative session approaching, our district 113 is being left out of decisions that affect our homes, schools, and livelihoods. This includes Brickell, Key Biscayne, Shenandoah, The Roads, Coral Gate, and parts of Little Havana, Coconut Grove, Edgewater, Silver Bluff, and Downtown Miami.

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.
