• Tell Donald Trump to CANCEL tomorrow's hateful, anti-immigrant speech
    Donald Trump likes to use inciting, incendiary language to target his political opponents. There are "criminals and unknown Middle Easterners mixed in" with an approaching migrant caravan, he tweeted, and they'd "better be stopped." This kind of language has already led to horror. Last week, a fan of Donald Trump and Fox News sent out a series of pipe bombs targeting political and philanthropic leaders for assassination. The most vicious and lethal anti-Semitic hate crime in American history was carried out at a Pittsburgh synagogue, by a shooter ranting about the migrant caravan. Instead of bringing the country together, Donald Trump has responded by throwing a match on the kindling. Again. Rather than tamping down on racial polarization and hate speech, Donald Trump is doubling down — pointing fingers, stoking fears, and inflaming passions. Tomorrow night, he will give a speech cracking down on the border and demagoguing against migrants seeking a safer place to live. There are already extremist groups talking about meeting the migrants on the border with guns and violence. This speech will push our country further toward the brink. Please tell Donald Trump: CANCEL this speech. A small group of refugees fleeing instability in Central America does not represent an existential threat to us, the strongest nation on earth. But forces of division, hatred, and violence might.

  • Stop Motel 6 From Releasing Information of guests to ICE
    ICE should not be tipped off in this manner by complicit hotels, much less gathering personal, private information in such a backhanded, unscrupulous manner.

  • Create a more balanced Refugee Admissions Ceiling determination process.
    This is a non-partisan issue to redistribute the power to determine the Refugee Admissions Ceiling in the United States. As of July 19, 2018 there are 68.5 million forcibly displaced people around the globe, 25.4 million of which are refugees and 3.1 million of which are asylum-seekers. Ever since the Refugee Act of 1980, the Executive Branch has been required to set a limit on the number of refugees admitted into the country, however, with out any checks from either the Legislative or Judicial branch, the Executive Branch has an imbalance of power in determining this limit. This coming year, as refugee rates are growing, an unprecedentedly low 30,000 person limit has been proposed--34,000 people less than the average limit over the last 5 years. We must redistribute this power to create a more balanced process by which the Refugee Admissions Ceiling is determined.

  • Petition to Change TSP hardship rules from Active Employees to Active and Retired Employees
    For federal employee retirees who are victims of a natural disaster or other hardship, and are prohibited from hardship withdrawals from their TSP because of current regulations. I and my family are victims of Hurricane Florence and have been rejected for FEMA aid, and a government SBA loan would only add to my current debt situation. I am a retired veteran.

  • Stop Detaining Migrant Children
    Thousands of migrant children are being detained in detention facilities in the United States. These children were either ripped away from their families or were by themselves when they were trying to come to this country for a better life. Children do not deserve to be treated like this and everyone deserves a chance to come to this country to have a better life.

  • Investigate for-profit tent cities holding immigrant children
    How can Americans stand by, day by day while young unaccompanied children are living in cages & tents (surrounded by strangers instead of family) by our Federal government who has no plan for re-unification with their parents. These children will never be the same. Close down these horrible kid-prisons and re-unite them NOW!!

  • Donald Trump: Don't put up the wall
    Trump wants to put up a wall for no other reason than not wanting immigrants to get in. A american "husband" killed his wife who was pregnant with her child, and his two kids that were children. One immigrant kid naps and kills someone and suddenly immigrants are the issue.

  • Don't let Trump keep immigrant children in jail indefinitely
    The Trump administration just announced that they plan to end the "Flores Agreement"—the rules that make sure kids can't be jailed for more than 20 days while being held in detention. Without Flores, kids could be jailed in awful conditions for even longer. The Flores Agreement is a vital part of treating everyone in this country like a human being—it sets limits on jailtime and conditions for children. We reject this change and any attempt to modify the rules to keep children in detention longer, or in worse conditions. This change would make the "zero humanity" immigration policies even crueler, further punishing children and their families for fleeing violence. Tell the Trump administration, DHS, and HHS: No kids should be held in jail. Don’t overturn the Flores Agreement.

  • Boycott Bank of America
    Bank of America is freezing and closing bank accounts of people whose citizenship they question, taking people's assets away, throwing their finances into turmoil and injecting fear into the lives of these families and communities. We, the undersigned, demand that Bank of America immediately stop their practice of harassing and harming their customers on the basis of supposed immigration status. American communities and marketplaces are the gold standard all over the world because they are supported by the police, fire, transportation, safety, economic and educational infrastructure that are paid for by ALL of us, and are open to ALL without discrimination on the basis of bias against one's race, nationality, sex, religion, disability, age and (in many states) sexual orientation or gender identity. Bank of America is hurting the individuals they targeted and also damaging the economic foundations of our very quality of life with their profoundly troubling actions reported this week. Individuals, businesses and organizations are encouraged to close their accounts with Bank of America in an economic boycott. Show Bank of America that we won't stand for policies that amount to racist attacks on their own customers. We won't patronize businesses that fuel xenophobia and anti-immigrant terror. Close your accounts. Let Bank of America know exactly why.

  • Ice Is Manipulating Congress To Fund Their Terror
    Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents are continuing to commit abominable violence against immigrants and people of color. Despite this, ICE’s budget for immigration detention and enforcement has jumped by almost a billion dollars in the last two years through a combination of reckless spending and secretive transfers of money. And now they’re at it again, trying to get a special increase in funding for immigration detention in the short-term funding bill expected to be passed by the end of the month. There is no question that this money causes tremendous harm in the hands of an agency responsible for deaths and widespread sexual assault in detention, violent raids, the separation of thousands of families, and more. We can’t allow ICE to continue manipulating the budget process as they violate basic human rights. We are committed to protecting our communities from the terror of Trump’s deportation force. We call on Congress to stop the special funding increase for detention and not allow ICE and CBP to manipulate them into increasing their funding.
