Corey struggled with housing instability, substance use, and his mental health—issues that systems in our country criminalize instead of treating, cycling people like Corey in and out of jail instead of getting the care they need. But, Corey was a father and a friend, and he should be alive today. The MPD and the media want to focus on Corey's criminal record instead of the whole person he was.  MPD are using the claim that Corey had a knife and possibly injured an officer in the scuffle as justification for his killing. But disturbing bystander footage shows four officers tackling him to the ground and shooting him a shocking three times in the head after being Tased, raising concerns about police brutality and unnecessary deadly force.  Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway said it best: “It does not matter who you are or what your past is. You should not lose your life as a result of an encounter with law enforcement.” The area where the MPD officer shot and killed Corey has a history of police brutality and killings. It was just in 2015 that, blocks away, an unarmed teenager, Tony Robinson, was shot and killed by officer Matthew Kenny. His murder—and the complete lack of police accountability— sparked protests across the city, sounding the alarm about racial discrimination by MPD In Madison, and echoing outrage at police brutality against Black communities across the country. Black Americans are three times more likely to be killed by police. Our policing and criminal legal systems are rooted in anti-Blackness, and this shooting has once again reignited nationwide grief, outrage, and anger at the lack of justice, accountability, and change.  Corey’s family—and the general public—deserve to know the truth about what happened. MPD officers don’t wear body cameras, so it’s imperative that all video footage be preserved from bystanders and vehicles.  >>Add your name to the petition now<< PHOTO: Mark Hoffman / Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Artificial intelligence may become one of the most consequential technologies in human history. Yet its development is moving faster than the laws, institutions, and democratic safeguards needed to govern it. Voluntary promises are not enough when the same companies making the promises also face powerful incentives to move quickly, capture markets, and maximize returns. Without enforceable standards, the costs of AI may fall most heavily on workers, children, marginalized communities, consumers, and people whose lives are affected by automated decisions they cannot see or challenge. At the same time, a small number of firms may gain unprecedented influence over information, employment, security, education, and public debate. This petition asks AI leaders to recognize that technical capability does not by itself establish moral legitimacy. The measure of progress is not simply what machines can do, but whether their use protects human dignity, strengthens democracy, advances justice, and serves the whole human family.

No one should be attacked by a dog By when it happens there needs to be accountability  Maybe if dog owners knew they would face felony charges the numbers of attacks would decline as dog owners would be more proactive in restraining and monitoring their dogs

The constitution of a country is the foundation that defines the relationship between citizens and the state. Decisions that change the way leaders are elected, institutions operate, and citizens participate in governance affect every Zimbabwean, regardless of political affiliation. This issue is important because: • A constitution belongs to the people. Citizens must have confidence that major constitutional changes reflect their views, concerns, and aspirations. • Strong democratic institutions protect everyone. Independent institutions, accountability, and citizen participation help protect the rights of all Zimbabweans. • Good governance affects daily life. Transparency, accountability, and responsible leadership directly influence jobs, healthcare, education, public services, and economic opportunities. • The future generation is affected. Constitutional decisions made today will shape Zimbabwe’s political and social environment for years to come. • Peace depends on trust. A country is more stable when citizens believe that their voices matter and that important decisions are made through inclusive processes. WHY SHOULD PEOPLE JOIN THIS CAMPAIGN FOR CHANGE? People should join because this is not only about one political party or one group of citizens. It is about ensuring that every Zimbabwean has a voice in decisions that shape the future of the country. By joining this campaign, citizens can: • Stand for meaningful participation in national decisions. • Promote accountability and transparency. • Support peaceful dialogue and constitutional governance. • Protect the rights and interests of future generations. • Encourage leaders to listen to the concerns of ordinary citizens. This campaign is built on the belief that Zimbabwe’s future should be shaped through the participation, dignity, and confidence of its people. Together, citizens can peacefully advocate for a Zimbabwe where institutions are trusted, leaders are accountable, and every person’s voice matters.

The death penalty in Kansas is deeply dysfunctional and has been administered in an unjust manner that has drained vast public resources without improving public safety. There has not been an execution in Kansas in more than 60 years, but the state continues to spend millions on this flawed system. Commuting all death sentences will address the system’s deep flaws while allowing resources to be redirected to more effective public safety programs. Commuting death sentences also demonstrates strong leadership and sends a powerful message to Kansans that it is time to consider repealing the death penalty. The governor should take time to consider this issue thoroughly and not try to expedite the process.

The importance of this campaign, and why others should join, is rooted in the necessity of correcting historical truth and establishing a future built on sovereign authority rather than administrative erasure.   Why This Campaign Is Important  Restoration of Historical Truth: The campaign addresses the systemic misclassification of Indigenous populations, which has suppressed identities and erased the legal and cultural recognition of these Nations for centuries.    Reclaiming Stewardship: It is essential for the return of control over ancestral lands, resources, and cultural heritage, which were often stripped away through displacement, flooding of ancestral towns, or the destruction of sacred burial sites.    Enforceable Justice: By framing restoration as an "administrative correction" grounded in federal and international statutes—such as NAGPRA, the Marshall Trilogy, and UNDRIP—the campaign transforms abstract grievances into actionable, legally sound demands.    Breaking Cycles of Trauma: It addresses the intergenerational impact of historical trauma, including the forced assimilation and marginalization that resulted from being mislabeled under obsolete categories like "Negro" or "slave".   Why Others Should Join the Campaign  Participation in a Factual Correction: Joining this effort means contributing to a monumental shift in history where the record is corrected to reflect the actual, documented identity of the original inhabitants of the Americas.    Supporting Sovereign Autonomy: By supporting this cause, allies and stakeholders help create the framework for Nations to manage their own education, economic systems, and cultural preservation, ensuring future generations are not defined by historical misclassification.    Upholding Universal Rights: This campaign advocates for principles of self-determination recognized internationally; supporting it aligns one with the global movement for Indigenous rights and the protection of cultural integrity.    Building a Legacy of Justice: The campaign is not merely about the past; it is about establishing a precedent where justice is not a favor granted, but a truth recognized, creating a foundation for equitable treatment and sustainable development for all historically misclassified peoples.   This movement seeks to honor the "rightful custodians" of the land by ensuring that the "story and authority" of these Nations is restored through "incontrovertible historical evidence".   

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.
