ICE agents raided Rep. Ilhan Omar’s DC residence, seizing her phone and subpoenaing her family members as part of an investigation into her citizenship — one that could result in her denaturalization and deportation. Using the full might of the federal government to go after a political opponent is nothing short of an abuse of power. This high-profile spectacle is just one example of the harassment to which ICE and CBP have subjected immigrant communities across the country, and these actions should alarm everyone who believes in democracy, justice, and government accountability. Someone must answer for the escalating abuses, wanton violence, and politically motivated attacks by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Decisions and culture start at the top. That’s why we’re calling on Congress to take up impeachment proceedings against DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin.

¿Por qué es importante? Nuestra situación actual en 2026 Nuestro contrato de arrendamiento anterior venció en septiembre de 2026. La Mesa Directiva de Westwood Unidos se encuentra en negociaciones con Re:Vision para permanecer en La Casita. Sin embargo, Re:Vision únicamente ha ofrecido nuevos acuerdos que no incluyen la posibilidad de renovar el contrato después de diciembre de 2026. La Mesa Directiva y el personal de Westwood Unidos han sostenido reuniones informales con residentes y organizaciones colaboradoras, además de organizar una sesión comunitaria con las personas que utilizan La Casita. A través de estas conversaciones, hemos escuchado una demanda clara y contundente de la comunidad: que Westwood Unidos continúe administrando y operando La Casita en su ubicación actual, más allá de los próximos meses. Sabemos que La Casita no es simplemente un edificio. Es un espacio fundamental para la comunidad, que ofrece oportunidades para mejorar la salud, promover el bienestar, realizar actividades físicas, fomentar una buena alimentación y fortalecer los vínculos comunitarios. Con alrededor de 100 clases al mes, estos programas cuentan constantemente con una alta participación y responden directamente a las prioridades y necesidades de la comunidad de Westwood. Este trabajo también está directamente alineado con la misión declarada de Re:Vision, que busca colaborar con comunidades históricamente afectadas por las desigualdades sociales para desarrollar líderes comunitarios, fortalecer los sistemas alimentarios locales y crear una economía que pertenezca a la propia comunidad. Retirar a Westwood Unidos de La Casita sin llevar a cabo un proceso de negociación de buena fe interrumpiría servicios y oportunidades esenciales de los que dependen nuestras comunidades. La Casita es un espacio seguro y de confianza donde las personas pueden establecer relaciones, aprender y compartir habilidades, y fortalecer su salud y bienestar. La comunidad ha reiterado que los servicios que ofrecemos a través de La Casita no pueden reemplazarse ni trasladarse fácilmente a otro lugar sin causar consecuencias significativas y perjudiciales para las personas que participan en nuestros programas. ¡Apoya a Westwood Unidos para que La Casita continúe sirviendo a la comunidad de Westwood durante 2027 y los años siguientes! Where we are at in 2026: Our previous lease agreement expired September 2026. Westwood Unidos' board is negotiating with Re:Vision to stay in La Casita, but Re:Vision has only offered new agreements with no option to renew after December 2026. Westwood Unidos board and staff have had informal meetings with community members and partners, and hosted a community session with La Casita users, and have heard a resounding demand to keep Westwood Unidos in operation of La Casita at its current location beyond the next few months.  We know that La Casita is not simply a building – it is a community anchor that provides opportunities for health, wellness, movement, nutrition, and community-building. With approximately 100 classes per month, these programs are consistently well-attended and directly reflect the priorities of the Westwood community. This work also directly aligns with Re:Vision’s stated mission to work with communities historically impacted by social inequities to develop resident leaders, cultivate community food systems, and create an economy owned by the community. Removing Westwood Unidos from La Casita without good-faith negotiation process would disrupt services and opportunities that our communities rely on as a safe, trusted space to build relationships, learn and share skills, and strengthen health and well-being. The community has reiterated that the services that we provide through La Casita cannot be easily replaced or relocated without significant harm to program participants. 

Mounting evidence of U.S. war crimes, thousands dead, an entire region on edge, a deepening global economic crisis — and there’s STILL no end to Trump’s illegal war in sight. In fact, it’s terrifyingly likely to get worse as another U.S. carrier, along with 10,000 troops, makes its way to the Middle East. The harm and suffering are incalculable. What’s not is the financial impact, and Moody's Analytics Chief Economist Mark Zandi recently estimated that to be $230 BILLION. That means your family has spent roughly $1,760 extra because of Trump’s illegal war. Luckily Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) has a fix to get it back: The Illegal War Refund Act. This bill would require the government to calculate the war’s economic impact on U.S. taxpayers, CUT the Pentagon budget by that amount, and then send those funds back to our families. It all comes down to a simple question: Who needs $1,760 more: You or Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon? Outrage over Trump’s war and its unconscionable costs is growing. Right now, lawmakers need to hear an unequivocal message that this war needs to end, the Pentagon should answer for its waste, and people everywhere, from service-members on the USS Lincoln or families in Iran, deserve accountability. Take a crucial step toward justice and peace today.

• It’s our money. The U.S. has spent more than $20 billion on military aid to Israel in about two years. That is taxpayer federal money, and as Americans, we get a say in how it’s used. • It doubles-down in the law. There’s an existing U.S. law that says we can’t give weapons to foreign military units credibly tied to serious human rights abuses. We are not following it. This bill narrows in on these rules being applied to the growing number of Palestinian deaths as a result of this conflict.   • It’s specific and blocks a list of offensive weapons. Weapons to defend from attacks, like shooting down an incoming rocket, is not what we're proposing be blocked. Those are called "defense weapons" and are still in America's purview. This stops the transfer of weapons that take civilian life. We didn't sign up to kill others. • It’s about our safety and reputation, too. When American bombs show up in footage of destroyed neighborhoods, that hurts how the world sees us and further pulls us into a conflict that makes Americans a target in the future.  

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to livestream a military firing squad execution of Nidal Malik Hasan in December. This would be the first public U.S. execution in nearly a century. In an era where videos can be quickly and easily downloaded, shared, and manipulated, the repercussions are unimaginable. Elected officials and organizations across the political spectrum quickly condemned the move, including Win Without War. Hegseth made this call — the latest in a long string of reckless, outrageous actions. Congress has a chance to respond, and soon: In the coming weeks, the House is anticipated to vote on eight articles of impeachment against Secretary Hegseth introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY). Both chambers are currently debating a number of vehicles — the National Defense Authorization Act, defense appropriations, budget reconciliation packages, and supplemental funding requests — that could bolster Hegseth’s Pentagon with an additional $1.5 TRILLION. The clock is ticking to make our voices heard. Every lawmaker needs to hear a clear message: Hegseth must go and he shouldn’t get one more dime.

Nolan Wells deserves to have the circumstances surrounding his case examined fully, fairly, and independently. When serious questions are raised about whether a person’s civil rights may have been violated, the public should not be expected to simply move on without clear answers. An independent federal review can help establish the facts, determine whether any wrongdoing occurred, and provide accountability where appropriate. This is bigger than one case. Public confidence in law enforcement and the justice system depends on transparency and meaningful oversight. When people believe serious concerns have not been adequately addressed, an independent investigation can help restore trust and ensure that constitutional rights are protected equally. By signing this petition, you are not being asked to decide guilt or innocence. You are asking the U.S. Department of Justice to examine the evidence independently and determine the truth. Nolan Wells, his loved ones, and the public deserve answers.

Shocking ProPublica reporting reveals a shuttered FBI investigation into hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of illegal donations to Sen. Collins’ 2020 campaign that may have directly resulted in tens of millions worth of Pentagon contracts in return. These are scandalous allegations of corruption for ANY sitting senator. The Senate Appropriations chair, tasked with negotiating the annual Pentagon budget, mired in potential criminal bribery? That’s a five-alarm fire. It burns all the hotter because FBI agents were reportedly given a “50-page document naming dozens of lobbyists, congressional staffers and members of Congress who he said helped him trade cash for contracts.” We demand to know who else is implicated, and we deserve answers. That’s why we need a Senate Ethics Committee investigation to get to the bottom of this now.

Trump just signed off on a $2.8 billion sale of bombs to the Israeli government. And unlike a sale where another government uses its own money to buy U.S.-made weapons, the Israeli government will make this purchase via “foreign military financing.” That means it gets money — taxpayer dollars — from the U.S. government to buy U.S.-made bombs and bullets. You read that right: This sale means BILLIONS of dollars in weapons for the Netanyahu government, bought and paid for by you, the U.S. taxpayer. Rep. Gregory Meeks and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen have jumped to use their positions as ranking members of Congress’ foreign affairs committees to place a “hold” on the sale. It’s a welcome maneuver, but it’s one Trump’s blown through before. That’s why we’re already gearing up for the next phase: the Senate can BLOCK the bombs outright by passing a joint resolution of disapproval, so let’s put pressure on each and every senator to go on record in opposition today.

This petition is important because Tyler Wilson Doyle has been missing since January 26, 2023, and his family is still searching for answers. Signing and sharing the petition helps keep Tyler’s case visible and shows that the public wants continued attention given to his disappearance. The more people who see Tyler’s face and learn his story, the greater the chance that someone with helpful information may come forward. Most importantly, it reminds Tyler’s family that their loved one has not been forgotten and that people are standing with them in their search for answers. Every signature, every share, and every voice matters. #BringTylerHome

We care about this because we believe our votes should matter—and that the rules governing our government should be clear before anyone knows who will benefit from them. Imagine voting for your Representative, watching your state certify the result, and then learning that a procedural decision could prevent that Representative from participating when the new Congress organizes. Whether that happened to a Democrat or a Republican, we would want the same safeguard in place. This isn't about predicting the election or choosing sides. It's about making sure the rules are established before the outcome is known. We don't wait for a fire to decide where the exits should be. We establish the safety procedures beforehand. The House Rules Committee is already considering the rules for the 120th Congress. This is the moment to ask for clear, nonpartisan safeguards—while there is still time to put them in place. We’re signing because we want the next Congress to begin with clear rules, respect for the voters, and constitutional process—not uncertainty or last-minute decisions.

Senators Sanders, Kaine (D-VA), and Van Hollen (D-MD) are leading the charge to change a horrific status quo and end settler attacks and illegal land grabs in the West Bank — it starts with ending U.S. complicity in this violence. When the Senate returns to session, these lawmakers will invoke a powerful, rarely-used procedural rule to demand a report from the Secretary of State on human rights abuses in the West Bank. It’s a report that could result in an END to U.S. arms sales to the Israeli government. We don’t need to convince you that the violence Palestinians are experiencing is wrong; that it’s immoral or illegal. But as U.S. bulldozers and weapons help fuel this violence, we’re reminding you that you can play a key role in advocating for it to stop.

Journalists with NBC News were interviewing a Palestinian woman in the West Bank who had been driven from her home when Israeli settlers attacked — beating them with sticks and throwing rocks at them. This was just one instance amidst a series of Israeli settler attacks that same day. Violence has become the norm for people across the West Bank. But as the Senate returns to Washington, we can change this broken status quo. For too long, Israeli security forces have allowed settler violence to rapidly expand, or worse, contributed to the displacement of Palestinian families. For too long, the U.S. government has helped bankroll violence that harms U.S. citizens. Sens. Van Hollen (D-MD), Kaine (D-VA), and Sanders (I-VT) will be introducing a privileged resolution demanding a State Department report on increasing violence in the West Bank. It’s a rarely used but powerful procedural maneuver because it isn’t subject to a president’s veto. If human rights violations are uncovered, it could spell an end to arms sales and other U.S. assistance to the Israeli government. Let’s get to work.
