Trump’s aggressive and haphazard occupation of Minnesota earlier this year wreaked havoc in Minnesota—with individuals, families, schools, and businesses still navigating the aftermath of the manufactured crisis.  ICE agents terrorized neighborhoods, drove recklessly through our streets, violated basic constitutional rights, abused and harmed people, and murdered two peaceful observers—Alex Pretti and Renee Good (and lied about the circumstances leading up to those murders).  Tens of thousands of regular people courageously showed up to organize—marching in the street, tracking ICE agents to expose their violence and unlawfulness, protesting outside hotels and car rental shops, peacefully observing vulnerable locations in their communities, and making sure people had access to basic necessities like food, water, toiletries, and rent funds.  Minnesota served as not only an example of resistance, but a vibrant, loving, and principled example of what our country could be—a stark contrast to Trump’s cruel, violent, fear-based agenda. And it’s that beacon of hope that the Trump administration is trying to snuff out.  The federal government is charging 15 Minnesotans a part of a broad coalition called Direct Action Minnesota “for conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers,” and for efforts to allegedly “violently oppose immigration law enforcement.”  Meanwhile, the violent insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol in 2021—threatened lawmakers and assaulted police officers—have been pardoned by the Trump administration, and Trump even tried to direct taxpayer dollars to a $1.8 billion slush fund to pay them off.  This isn't about justice—it’s about punishment and intimidation. Add your name to the petition to demand the charges be dropped immediately!

This petition is important because no one should lose years of their life due to an unlawful sentence. Marcus Taylor spent years incarcerated under a sentence that was later determined to exceed what the law allowed. While his release was an important step, it does not restore the years he lost with his family, the career opportunities he missed, the financial hardship he endured, or the emotional toll of prolonged incarceration. This issue extends beyond Marcus Taylor. His case exposes a gap in Mississippi’s justice system that could affect others in the future. When sentencing errors occur, there must be accountability, a process to compensate those harmed, and safeguards to prevent similar injustices from happening again. By supporting this petition, you are standing for fairness, due process, and equal justice under the law. The goal is not only to seek justice for Marcus Taylor but also to encourage reforms that protect all Mississippians from being subjected to unlawful incarceration in the future. No one can get back lost years, but Mississippi can acknowledge the harm, provide compensation, and take steps to ensure it never happens again.

Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth’s illegal boat strikes have now killed more than 200 people off the coasts of South America, but we haven’t forgotten — and we refuse to stay silent. 200 deaths mark a grim milestone in an illegal campaign that has slipped under the radar while the Administration distracts by proliferating more violence elsewhere. Lawmakers have the power to act and stop these strikes. But they’re unlikely to if they think people like you and groups like ours aren’t paying attention, or worse, that we don’t care. That’s why we need to get loud today.

Todd Blanche is not only a Donald Trump loyalist, but he was also his personal lawyer. Blanche has spent years defending Trump—he represented him in the Stormy Daniels hush money trial, when Trump was accused of hoarding classified documents, and in his role in election interference.  The failure to provide transparency into the release of the Epstein files was one of the breaking points of his poor leadership. The DOJ wasn’t concerned about bringing justice for survivors—instead, Blanche personally interviewed Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell and moved her into a minimum-security prison.6 Blanche will lead the DOJ with one mission: Protect Trump and give the president endless power.

Massachusetts voters overwhelmingly approved Question 1 by 72% to allow independent audits of the Legislature. This bill weakens that mandate. Tell Governor Healey to veto it and protect the will of the voters.

Delaney Hall represents a dangerous expansion of the immigrant detention system, one driven by profit, and unconcerned with public safety. In 2025, ICE handed a $1 billion contract to GEO Group to run Delaney Hall which essentially quadrupled detention capacity in New Jersey overnight.  Now, hundreds of people inside are risking their health to expose what’s happening behind the doors of Delaney Hall. More than 200 detainees remain on hunger and labor strike, protesting unsafe conditions: lack of medical care, spoiled food, and extreme heat without air conditioning. These are not isolated complaints, they are systemic failures in facilities that were never meant to be kind to the people within them.  Warehouses like Delaney Hall exist because of a system that outsources detention to private prison corporations with little transparency or accountability. GEO Group, the corporation in charge of Delaney Hall and other detention facilities across the country, profits when more people are detained for longer periods of time. This system creates incentives and rewards for holding people, often without cause, while cutting corners on their healthcare and safety.  If people inside speak out about their conditions inside, the response is retaliation. News reports include pepper spray and physical force against detainees, forced transfers, and blocked access for families. Even local elected officials and members of Congress are being denied oversight. Sign the petition if you agree: Delaney Hall must be shut down NOW!

The proposed changes to the Clean Air Act would apply to all industrial facilities, including data centers, the power plants that would serve them, chemical plants, and carbon, capture, and storage (CCS) facilites. While the proposed changes are considered a win for all industries, we mention CCS specifically because owners of those projects can qualify for 45Q tax credits if they begin construction by a deadline set by the IRS. Being able to begin construction before the permitting process guarantees that they would be able to meet the deadline. We are submitting this petition to the EPA's docket and sending it to the Trump administration. We ask that you take a couple of extra minutes to submit a comment to the docket using our EZ form. Regulators generally count petitions as one comment, regardless of how many signatures they contain, so filling the docket with individual comments is important. Our form asks you to write opening and closing statements and, if you wish, select talking points we provide. We format your comments as PDF files and upload them to the docket for you.

The Congressional Black Caucus has come out demanding that corporations that signed the Business for Voting Rights letter to Congress back in 2021 take a stand now. In a letter to corporations the CBC highlighted a critical point: “The same corporations that have benefitted from Black consumers, Black talent, and Black communities cannot now retreat into silence while Black political power is openly dismantled in plain sight.” Despite its supposed commitment to voting rights, Starbucks is staying quiet and moving forward with plans for a new corporate headquarters in Tennessee—a state where the governor wasted no time signing into law a new congressional map that will split up the state’s only Black-majority district. The map strips Black voters of their ability to influence elections and choose their leader. We need to hold Starbucks accountable and demand that the company use its corporate influence to condemn the Tennessee legislature's move to dilute Black voices at the ballot box.  We must not allow corporations to fall back on the importance of protecting voting rights. When the voting power of a community is purposely targeted, that is not a democracy. That is not what John Lewis and so many other civil rights organizers and activists bled and died for.  When corporations stand up and demand change from lawmakers, change happens. It’s time for Starbucks to live up to its promise five years ago and condemn these attacks on our democracy now—in words and in action. 

You’ve likely seen the uproar over Trump’s Justice Department-created $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund that could send taxpayer money to January 6 insurrectionists, amongst other MAGA loyalists and political allies. Trump’s slush fund is as corrupt and lawless as it gets — and even his allies in Congress are pushing back. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called it “utterly stupid, morally wrong.” Sen. John Curtis (R-UT) added, “I don’t like the fund at all.” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) referred to it as a “payout pot for punks.” Things got so contentious that Senate Republicans were forced to abandon votes on an unrelated bill to fund ICE in advance of the Memorial Day recess. It’s a good start, but it’ll be meaningless if this fund is left intact. Fortunately, right now there are multiple ways to pull it apart, from Rep. Jamie Raskin’s just-introduced No Taxpayer-Funded Settlement Slush Funds Act (H.R. 8914) to amendments in the reconciliation bills. While the iron is hot, we need to strike and ensure these measures get the support they need in Congress to kill this corrupt scam for good — and that’s where you come in.

As the federal administration seeks to expand the death penalty, the work to end capital punishment across the country has never been more urgent. In California, there is a very real possibility to move closer to ending the death penalty once and for all. As Governor Gavin Newsom's final term comes to an end, we need your help to urge him to commute all death sentences in California. California has the largest death row in the Western Hemisphere with more than 550 people, which is roughly a quarter of the entire U.S. death row population. Commuting all death sentences would allow California to: • Redirect taxpayer dollars from a failed system towards more effective public safety solutions, including more services for crime victims. • Eliminate the risk of executing an innocent person. Since California reinstated the death penalty in 1977, eight people have been exonerated and released from California’s death row after years facing execution for crimes they didn't commit. • Close a racially discriminatory chapter. More than 2 in 3 individuals sentenced to death in California are people of color. • Pressure other states to follow, bringing us closer to ending capital punishment nationwide. Now is the time for Governor Newsom to use his executive authority to commute California’s death row and model what bold leadership looks like in a moment when many of our rights are under attack. When he sees thousands of people across California and the entire country demanding action, he knows this is what his constituents—current and future—want. Your signature adds to that pressure. Sign the petition to urge Governor Newsom to stand on the right side of history. 

Article 3, Section 2, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution states that courts have the power to settle "cases" between entities, including those involving the federal government. The creation of the fund comes out of a lawsuit Donald Trump settled with the IRS, an agency he was suing for $10 billion. Because of this, 93 House Democrats signed a 31-page amicus brief to block the fund. This "anti-weaponization" fund is dangerous and lets Trump get away with more abuses of power and further politicizes the Department of Justice, which is supposed to be independent.  A multi-billion dollar slush fund that seeks to reward Trump allies who have flouted the Constitution, peddled election conspiracy theories, and might have been involved in the deadly attack on our nation's capitol on January 6th must not be allowed to move forward. The precedent this sends could be devastating and reverberate for decades to come.  Congress must hear us loud and clear: block the creation of the "anti-weaponization" slush fund. 

Imagine your elderly parent is getting ready to vote on Election Day. They look up the address for their polling location. They know they need their voter ID, so they grab that. Since they have a disability that makes it hard to go inside the polls, they plan to use curbside voting. But when they show up to their polling location, they can't find any information on curbside voting. They want to ask a poll worker for help, but there aren't any outside. After driving around the parking lot for several minutes, they decide to give up and go home. They are extremely disappointed. Approximately 14% of Ohioans are living with a disability and about 17% of Ohioans are 65 or older. And they're not the only groups that benefit from accessible elections. A parent with a sleeping infant in the backseat can benefit from curbside voting; college students away from home can benefit from mail-in voting;  and polling locations that have plenty of room for wheelchairs also have room for strollers. Since everyone's needs are different, it's important that we make voting as accessible as possible for everyone.  This petition is open to all Ohio residents. The collected signatures will be shared with: • Frank LaRose (Ohio Secretary of State) • Brett Harbage (ADA Coordinator for the Ohio SOS' office)  Want to reach out to LaRose and Harbage directly?
