Because justice begins with accountability—and right now, Phoenix VA Police are bypassing the very systems meant to protect us. By refusing to fingerprint and collect DNA from individuals arrested for violent and serious crimes, VA Police are allowing dangerous suspects to avoid tracking, escape federal charges, and walk away unpunished. These aren’t technical glitches—these are conscious decisions to ignore the law. When federal agencies fail to follow DOJ procedures, sex offenders don’t get entered into the system. Rapists aren’t matched in CODIS. Cold cases stay cold. And violent criminals remain free to offend again. The tools exist. The laws are clear. But Phoenix VA Police are choosing inaction—and that inaction is putting veterans, employees, and the public at risk. If we don’t demand change now, we risk another preventable tragedy—another name in the headlines—because the system failed to act.

The current roster of downtown Woodland events are created by and approved by a very small group of people and the city of Woodland. There is currently no oversight by business owners or by community members. The process requires an application and a meeting during a once a month approval meeting.  Approvals are only given once a month. If your application is denied, you must reapply the following month, or simply give up. This current process stifles creativity, new events and as a result stifles new visitors and customers to our city. We seek ease of application process, transparency in approval and denial decisions with more oversight and  input from our business owners and residents. This plan will bring more vibrancy, more creativity, more revenue to our area and our town. Be a part of fresh new ideas, events and entertainment in Woodland by signing today!

  Why is this important? A sentence should hold a person accountable. It should also leave room to recognize who that person becomes. Jose Muyet has spent more than three decades in federal prison. With 14 concurrent life sentences plus 205 consecutive years, his punishment leaves no realistic path home through the passage of time alone. We are asking for presidential clemency and a meaningful second chance—one grounded in a careful review of his individual responsibility, the proportionality of his sentence, and the rehabilitation he has demonstrated. His case also raises concerns about the broad use of Pinkerton liability, a doctrine that can hold a member of a conspiracy responsible for crimes committed by others when specific legal requirements are met. Its application deserves close examination when the consequences amount to permanent imprisonment. When responsibility extends to another person’s actions, justice must still examine the individual. What did this person do? What was proved? Was the punishment proportionate? And who has this person become after decades behind bars? We ask that Jose’s case be reviewed with those questions in mind, including the role of cooperating-witness testimony, the benefits witnesses received, and any sentencing disparities among those involved. We recognize the seriousness of the offenses and the suffering of victims and their families. Our appeal for mercy does not erase that suffering. It asks whether accountability must always mean dying in prison, even after decades of growth. Jose has devoted years to education, writing, reflection, and helping others. We believe those efforts deserve meaningful consideration—not simply acknowledgment without any possibility of release. Second chances should be more than words. Rehabilitation should have a purpose. Clemency should remain a door through which a changed person can return. By signing and sharing this petition, you are: • Calling for a fair and individualized clemency review. • Asking for scrutiny of the use of Pinkerton liability and the proportionality of Jose’s sentence. • Supporting consideration of his rehabilitation, family support, and readiness for reentry. • Affirming that accountability, compassion, and public safety can guide the same decision. Jose cannot make this appeal alone. Your signature helps make his request for mercy visible. Please sign. Please share. Help us ask the President to give Jose Muyet a meaningful second chance. Behind every sentence is a human being who can still change. #FreeJoseMuyet #LifeBeyondConfinement #SecondChances #Clemency 

This is not just about one meeting or one leader — it’s about preserving the integrity, transparency, and values of the Hawai‘i Republican Party, and beyond. We are calling for accountability, respect for our rules, and protection of every member’s voice, regardless of their opinions or alliances. When leadership disregards the bylaws and parliamentary rules, they are not just silencing opposition — they are undermining the very foundation of our party. This campaign is about making sure: • Every delegate and member is heard • Rules are followed without favoritism, or because there is opposition • Decisions are made through a fair and lawful process • Unity means inclusion, not control If we don’t stand up now, the Party risks becoming a vehicle for personal agendas rather than a force for principled governance. This campaign is our stand to say: Integrity matters. Process matters. Our voice matters. Join us — not just to protest — but to help restore trust, fairness, and proper leadership to the Hawai‘i Republican Party.

Donald J. Trump does not deserve a Nobel Prize because of the havoc he is creating internationally as well as at home.  He is damaging international relations and the standing of the United States through his actions regarding tariffs, his bullying of our neighbors and allies, as well as his administration’s threatening of Ukraine.  His mass deportations of immigrants who are legally pursuing legal status in uncalled for in a democratic country. 

By joining this campaign, you are speaking up for safer communities, for lives that can still be saved, and for a Rhode Island that puts people over weapons. Your voice matters and together, our voices can make a change.

This far-right hate group helped incite the deadly January 6th insurrection – and now, they’re suing to make YOU pay them $100 million for it. You read that right: Five leaders of the Proud Boys – who were convicted by a jury of their peers after trying to overthrow our democracy – are now claiming that they are the victims and are suing the Department of Justice (DOJ). They’re hoping that Trump – who called January 6th a “day of love” – and his loyalists will hand them millions of our tax dollars to spread more chaos, more violence, and more hate. We can’t let it happen. The DOJ should spend its budget to protect us — to stop violent, organized hate groups like the Proud Boys from terrorizing our communities. Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi: Fight back against this lawsuit. Don’t give the Proud Boys a single dime of taxpayer money.

Matthew Cardon was shot and killed by police in Peoria, Arizona, on June 5th, 2025. Despite repeated requests from his family and community, authorities have not released all available footage. There are conflicting statements, missing body cam footage, and unanswered questions that demand transparency. We call on local and state leaders to release all footage, open an independent investigation, and ensure this never happens again. Matthew was a son, brother, and friend.His family—and the public—deserve the truth.

When community members protested Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) raids to protect their neighbors this weekend, they were met with what The New York Times called, “an extraordinary show of force.” “Dozens of federal agents wearing helmets and green camouflage arrived in two hulking armored trucks and other unmarked vehicles, and were soon approached by a crowd of immigrant activists and supporters. Some agents carried riot shields and others held rifles, as well as shotguns that appeared to be loaded with less-than-lethal ammunition.” This is mass deportation under Trump. Now that he has deployed thousands of National Guard troops along with 700 active duty Marines to crush protests in the Los Angeles area, more violent intimidation and threats to free speech are likely. Troops and tanks don’t belong on LA’s streets, or anywhere. But the horrifying reality is that Trump’s military flex likely won’t be limited to southern California or his DC tank parade — and that’s why we’re reaching out today with an urgent call. This is no time for business as usual. Senators have a crucial role to play in securing an end to the ICE raids and Trump’s violence-first responses. The good news? They’re more likely to do it if they hear from you today.

No matter how Trump and Stephen Miller dress them up, their recently announced travel ban and ALL the others they have attempted amount to the same thing: A racist immigration policy that leaves people to suffer and struggle. Communities across the country have recently seen their neighbors disappeared, abducted, detained, and deported. With the latest iteration of Trump’s infamous Muslim Ban set to go into effect as soon as 12:01 AM on June 9, the chaos, fear, and harm will only deepen. Make no mistake: Travel bans do not make anyone safer. Centering bigotry and hatred at the heart of U.S. immigration policy will only separate families, demonize immigrants, and strip our country of the values — of the people — who help make it great. But we anticipated this move, and that’s why we’re ready to demand the kind of policies that keep people — everywhere — safe. The good news? Champions in Congress are speaking out. That’s the kind of leadership necessary to repeal these hateful bans, remind the White House that Congress — and people like us — have a say in our governance, and send a crucially needed message of hope and welcome to people whose lives Trump is upending. It’ll take a sustained groundswell of opposition in the coming days and months to make it happen. How do we get that? You. Sign now to send every member of Congress a loud and clear message: No Ban Ever.

I am writing to urge you to consider sponsoring and supporting a proposed piece of legislation called Topher’s Law. (Together on Protecting Human Ethical Rights) This bill is designed to reform Missouri’s guardianship laws to ensure that adult wards who are disabled or otherwise under guardianship retain their right to maintain family relationships—without unnecessary court hurdles or isolation imposed by overreaching guardians. Currently, immediate family members often face significant barriers in simply visiting, calling, or taking their loved one on an outing, even with the ward’s full consent. In some cases, families must petition the court just to spend time together—placing an unjust burden on those who should be presumed to act out of love and care. Topher’s Law flips that burden: if a guardian wishes to deny access, they must go to court and prove why it is necessary. This legislation: Centers the ward’s own voice and consent. Provides a court-appointed advocate regardless of the ward’s ability to pay. Protects against unjustified isolation from immediate family. Brings transparency and accountability to guardianship practices. I’ve included a full draft of the proposed law with this letter. I would be deeply grateful for the opportunity to meet with you or your staff to discuss this further. Families across Missouri—and more importantly, the individuals placed under guardianship—deserve protection, dignity, and a law that puts their humanity first

CoreCivic and the GEO Group have seen skyrocketing profits in the last year as a result of their direct involvement in Trump’s violent deportation agenda. CoreCivic saw a nearly 70% increase in net income in 2025, while the GEO Group saw a nearly 700% increase in net income. These massive profits represent these companies' successful business models built entirely off of human suffering. Every dollar Citizens Bank lends to these companies is a direct investment in that model.  By continuing to provide financing to CoreCivic and The GEO Group, even as most major financial institutions have chosen to cut ties, Citizens Bank is sending a clear message. It is choosing profit over people, and doing so with full knowledge of what these companies do and how they do it. That choice has consequences—more than three-quarters of the nearly 40 deaths in ICE detention over the last year occurred in privately operated facilities like the ones Citizens Bank helps finance.  Sign now and demand that Citizens Bank immediately cut all ties with CoreCivic and The GEO Group and stop their complicity in ICE’s abuses!
