The EPA scheduled a two-day hearing on its proposed recission of the Endangerment Finding. So many people signed up to testify that they had to add two days and created a waiting list when those slots were filled. The testimony was overwhelmingly in favor of keeping the Endangerment Finding. Scientists, health professionals, state government representatives, environmental and health advocates testified along side individuals who shared their stories about how climate change-fueled natural disasters have already endangered them or how concerned they are for future generations. The public can still submit written comments through September 22. This petition will be submitted as a comment on the docket. But, as has been the case with our other recent petitions, it's also important for individuals to submit their own comments. Earlier this month, the Trump administration removed a tool on Regulations.gov that allowed organizations to collect and submit comments in bulk. It is Trump's latest attempt to silence us. We have never relied on that tool. We have created EZ forms that we upload individually on your behalf. Our EZ form to comment on the Endangerment Finding gives you the option to tell your climate story - your experiences, your concerns. The personal stories people shared when they testified were compelling. We urge you to add yours. Please sign our petition and take the additional step of submitting a comment using our EZ form here.

When policing expands without clear, public rules, trust erodes and everyone — residents, officers, and City Hall — takes on unnecessary risk. These guardrails are simple, lawful steps that keep Sioux Falls safe and accountable. They protect civil rights, focus resources where they work, and ensure our city remains welcoming and fair. Add your name if you believe we should: • Keep everyone safer with trust-based policing. Clear limits, data reporting, and safe-reporting policies help solve crimes by encouraging victims and witnesses to come forward. • Protect constitutional rights and due process. Warrant requirements and transparent policies prevent mission creep and ensure any cooperation with outside agencies stays lawful and narrow. • Spend tax dollars wisely. Public cost estimates and Council votes prevent blank checks and help prioritize what actually improves safety. • Rely on facts, not headlines. A monthly public dashboard lets all of us judge outcomes — stops, searches, arrests, use-of-force — so policy follows evidence, not press events. • Safeguard community spaces. Schools, hospitals, places of worship, and courthouses should remain accessible and welcoming for everyone. • Reflect Sioux Falls values. We can have both effective public safety and dignity for our neighbors, including immigrant families. Your signature tells City leadership to adopt these reasonable, time-bound steps now so investigations can proceed lawfully, budgets stay transparent, and our community stays strong. Please sign and share.

Joshua’s case is bigger than one family — it’s about justice, accountability, and basic human rights. When a suspicious death is mishandled, when the law requiring a board-certified forensic pathologist is ignored, and when families are denied the truth, it creates a dangerous precedent for everyone. If this could happen to Joshua, it could happen to your son, daughter, brother, or friend. We all deserve to know that when tragedy strikes, investigations will be handled with professionalism, honesty, and by the book — not rushed, buried, or brushed aside. Signing this petition means demanding transparency, accountability, and equal treatment under the law. Joshua’s life mattered — and fighting for answers in his case protects every family in New York from facing the same injustice.

Trump deployed hundreds of armed National Guard troops to DC and seized control of the local police. This move is not about safety — crime in the nation’s capital is actually the lowest it's been in 30 years. We’re witnessing another blatant power grab. This time, using the military and law enforcement as weapons against the people they’re sworn to protect. Right now, the California Attorney General is suing the White House over Trump’s recent National Guard and Marine deployments to the Los Angeles area. But as Trump threatens deployments to cities like Baltimore, Chicago, New York City, and Oakland, we need more state AGs to be ready and willing to help us take on Trump and defend our communities — and that’s where you come in.

Marriage equality is critically important because it provides LGBTQ+ individuals and families with vital legal, emotional, and social protections.    The ability to marry influences how couples support each other, providing easier paths to share resources, caregiving responsibilities, and family decisions.  Challenging marriage equality would put hundreds of thousands of families at risk—undermining their rights, hurting their children, and returning society to a time of greater inequality, stigma, and vulnerability for LGBTQ+ Americans. This isn't just about marriage; it's about the fundamental dignity and protection of families across the country. 

Overturning gay marriage on a federal level creates issues where couples will cross state lines and their marriage will no longer be recognized. If you go to the hospital in a state where they don’t recognize your marriage, then your partner cannot legally see you or have anything to do with you. Gay parents can’t adopt. Insurance will be in upheaval. This is another way for the GOP to distract and to weaken their opponents.

  Because no one should be thrown into the most restrictive prison housing in Florida without due process, without cause, and without even being told.  Florida DOC approved Jose Jaime Tirado III (DC# 132634) for Close Management Level 1 — a form of extreme isolation — without notifying him, issuing a disciplinary report, or providing any written justification. The truth only came out when his father demanded answers.  Jose has now been cut off from his family, denied basic rights guaranteed under CM rules, and ignored when his family filed public records requests. This is targeted retaliation for asserting his rights and for his family speaking out — not a legitimate safety measure.  And Jose is one of the lucky ones — he has people who love him enough to fight for him, speak out publicly, and push for answers. Most incarcerated people don’t. For every case we see, there are countless more abuses that go unreported because no one on the outside is watching.  If Florida DOC can get away with violating its own rules, breaking state law, and trampling constitutional protections in Jose’s case, they can and will do it to anyone. We must act now to stop this abuse, free Jose from unlawful isolation, and hold DOC accountable before more lives are damaged by retaliation and cover-ups. 

For decades, Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused and trafficked girls and young women. His power and money shielded him from accountability—and he was enabled by those around him. Americans have been left in the dark about how many people were involved and helped Epstein cover up these atrocious crimes. But Ghislaine Maxwell, his former girlfriend, is one of the few people who has been held responsible for their role in the abuse.  Instead of taking accountability for the immeasurable amount of harm she has caused, Maxwell instead has been fighting her conviction and appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court.  Meanwhile, she was recently moved from a federal prison in Florida to a minimum security prison camp in Texas, a transfer that has further sounded the alarm and raised suspicions. In recent weeks, when asked if he would pardon Maxwell, Trump has refused to denounce her or her crimes. Instead, he has emphasized that he is “allowed to give her a pardon” but hasn’t been approached about it.  Trump should not even be considering pardoning Maxwell—an accomplice to Epstein’s heinous crimes. Sign the petition if you agree. >>

Why This Matters Now Rep. Mills’ conduct—if left unaddressed—threatens the integrity of public office and the safety of individuals. The severity and multiplicity of the allegations: • Involve potential criminal misconduct (revenge porn, assault, extortion). • Suggest possible conflicts of interest or misuse of power for personal gain. • Undermine public trust in both Congress and Florida’s representation. We, the undersigned, demand:  1. A full and expedited ethics investigation into both criminal and financial allegations. 2. Mills’ resignation or removal from any official committee roles during the investigation.

Consider the deleterious effect this action will have on ALL the voters of Texas.  All Texans should be able to choose who represents them in fair elections. Fair elections have been the cornerstone of the United States of America government and envied around the world.   Please sign this petition to let Governor Abbott know that Texans do not support this.

  ✊🏽 WHY THIS MATTERS If someone can be sentenced to life plus 25yrs for a case with: • Dismissed charges and refiled with a reused probable cause affidavit that was not only from another county but had been dismissed and reused with no new evidence.  • Juror only understood 20% of English • No actual insurance fraud, No claim number for a claim and No Money received!! • Injustice in This Case Undermines the Law Itself If “Stand Your Ground” does not apply to Prentice Ponds — a man protecting himself in his own home — who does it apply to? • Allowed a judge to sentence him despite a conflict of interest — she and the freelance investigator worked under the same umbrella company. • The same judge that refused to accept pictures of the man with the items Prentice was accused of stealing. This isn’t just about one man. This is about whether Oklahoma law protects all of its citizens — or only some. Wrongful convictions steal lives, erode trust in the legal system, and perpetuate cycles of injustice—particularly in Black communities. Prentice Ponds’ case is a glaring example of what happens when bias, misconduct, and indifference are allowed to override truth. If Oklahoma wants to claim a fair justice system, it must admit its errors, clear Prentice Ponds’ name, and free him with honor—not pity. We demand justice, truth, and accountability. Free Prentice Ponds. Exonerate him now. None of us are safe!! Prentice’s story is not about loopholes — it’s about abuse of power and erasure of truth. His past does not justify his future being stolen. We will not wait decades for the courts to “maybe” get it right. Freedom must come now. 

Most people don’t think twice about calling their parents or children. But many families with incarcerated loved ones do because staying in touch is prohibitively expensive. Correctional telecom corporations—abetted by prisons, jails, and detention centers—charge families egregious rates to connect with their loved ones. As a result, one in three families with an incarcerated loved one goes into debt trying to stay connected, and 87% of those carrying this burden are women, predominantly women of color. Congress passed the Martha Wright Reed Act to right this wrong, mandating that the FCC issue regulations within 18 to 24 months to provide relief for families. In response, the FCC released a monumental 430-page order with robust new regulations. The proposed regulations passed unanimously and are estimated to save families impacted by incarceration over $500 million a year in communication costs once fully implemented.  But suddenly, in a move that reprioritizes special interests and ignores the law and will of Congress, the FCC delayed the implementation of the rules until April 2027, and with it, denied relief to millions of families. Families cannot wait any longer. The FCC must stop the delay and connect families now!  Sign the petition to hold the FCC accountable to following the law and putting people before profits!
