Please ACT NOW…Call to Action needed. Help Bring SixFour3 to Fairfax!Thank you for taking time to follow our journey to open a new SixFour3 facility in Fairfax. Over the past year, the SixFour3 Fairfax Team has been working hard …we have leased space, designed what will be an amazing softball training facility (!!), and pursued a building permit to begin construction. Our hopes were to open in early 2025. However, a few short months ago, Fairfax County Staff ruled that we are not allowed to use industrial space for a softball training facility, which came as a shock to us all. During the last decade, countless baseball facilities and other sports training facilities have been approved by the County in industrial space. Some examples include Perfect Performance in August 2023, Pioneer Baseball in April 2022, Metro Baseball Academy in July 2021, Capstone Soccer in 2020, and Diamond Heroes Baseball in 2017…the list goes on and on. We feel singled out!! Our next step is a hearing with the Board of Zoning Appeals on May 7th at 9 am to try and overturn the staff's decision. To win the appeal, we need your voices to be heard!! Winning an appeal is no easy task, but we know the softball community will rally around us to help remove the barriers we are facing from the county to open SixFour3 Fairfax. We believe it is vital to inform Fairfax County about the benefits of SixFour3 and would be grateful for your support in disseminating this information through your broadcasting channels. Want to do more? You can also write your own email to the Fairfax County BZA! We encourage you to share personal stories, your support, or feel free to use the sample language we’ve provided on the second page of this document.527 of 600 SignaturesCreated by SixFour3 Fairfax

Demand an investigation into unethical insider trading!The STOCK Act of 2012 requires members of Congress to disclose financial transactions and makes insider trading illegal. Senators Adam Schiff and Ruben Gallego, joined by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have been loudly vocal about the need for an investigation into potential violations of federal ethics rules following Trump’s tariff flip-flopping. The people we elect should be acting in the best interest of the American people—not playing reckless and careless games with the stock market in order to line their own pockets and enrich themselves. Constituents deserve transparency and accountability. Sign the petition to say NO to unethical insider trading and demand an immediate investigation!43,215 of 45,000 Signatures

Ban Guns in a school environment1. Protecting Children and Educators: Schools are meant to be safe environments. Joining this campaign helps push for laws that prioritize the safety and well-being of students and teachers. 2. Preventing Tragedies: Gun violence in schools has led to heartbreaking losses. Banning guns from campuses can reduce the risk of shootings and save lives. 3. Creating a Peaceful Learning Environment: Fear and anxiety have no place in education. Removing firearms from schools helps students focus on learning rather than survival. 4. Sending a Message to Lawmakers: Every signature shows that people care. A strong collective voice can influence real policy change at the local and national levels. 5. Standing Up for Common-Sense Safety Measures: Most Americans support reasonable gun laws. This campaign is not about politics it’s about protecting people and preventing preventable violence.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mike Gordon

Congress Must Reject Trump’s War Plans for MexicoTroubling reports reveal a Trump administration push to propel a failed war on drugs into a reckless, devastating war in Mexico. Make no mistake: This is how dangerous ideas turn into deadly policies. How do we know? Earlier this year our sister organization, the Win Without War Education Fund, brought a team of former defense, diplomatic, trade, labor, and civil society experts, among others from the United States and Mexico to Capitol Hill to run a tabletop exercise to find out exactly what the outcome of U.S. strikes on cartels in Mexico would be. The result? Chaos, violence, and harm. Even a “limited” U.S. strike would trigger events ranging from a trade war, mass displacement, a crackdown on civil liberties, and a rupture in diplomatic relations. One thing had not changed: The amount of synthetic drugs crossing the southern border. Trump’s moves won’t halt the drug trade or help families struggling amidst a fentanyl crisis but they will increase violence and displacement within Mexico and ruin the critical, mutually-beneficial cross-border relationship. Luckily, Representative Joaquin Castro has introduced a resolution to oppose this deadly policy drift by affirming Mexico’s sovereignty. Congress must act swiftly to pass it and pull us off this misguided path to war. We’re organizing people across the country to join us in telling every member of Congress to cosponsor and pass the resolution immediately. Will you speak out now?21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Win Without War

Get Them OutReneging on that promise puts our military in danger of never getting help in the future. It is a moral failure for our country. Experience has proved that Afghan refugees resettled in the US quickly become financially independent and pay taxes and there are many experienced, local volunteer resettlement groups throughout the country willing and able to provide support. Lift the ban now and GET THEM OUT!45 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marianna Stout

Re-Activate the Florida Civil Rights Hall of FameNot only is this depriving the community of acknowledging and learning about worthy individuals; this is also a direct violation to the state policy approved in 2010 by UNANIMOUS consent of the state House (112-0) and State Senate (37-0). We unequivocally believe that the Civil Rights Hall of Fame MUST be Re-Activated!! To join in this push, please sign the petition as a show of support and affirmation!61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Zo Mitchell

End the Silence: Make Protection Order Violations Public and EnforceableI am writing to urge you to take immediate action to close a critical gap in our justice system: the failure to include protection order violations in standard criminal background checks. This oversight allows individuals with a history of violating protective orders to secure jobs, housing, and even custody or visitation rights without accountability, putting survivors and their children at risk. Protection orders exist to shield survivors of domestic violence, stalking, and harassment from further harm. However, because these violations are typically classified as civil matters rather than criminal convictions, they often do not appear in background checks conducted by employers, landlords, and family courts. This omission not only endangers survivors but also allows repeat offenders to continue their abusive behavior without consequence. The Urgent Need to Protect Children Children are among the most vulnerable when protection order violations go unreported or unrecognized. Parents who have repeatedly violated protective orders can still gain custody or unsupervised visitation, placing children in harm’s way. Without these violations being made visible in legal and background checks, courts may unknowingly grant access to individuals who pose a threat to their child’s safety and well-being. By implementing these changes, we can provide greater protection for survivors and children, increase public safety, and hold repeat offenders accountable. I urge you to introduce and support legislation that ensures these violations are visible, enforceable, and taken seriously in legal and protective proceedings. Please let me know your stance on this issue and what steps you will take to address it. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further. Thank you for your time and commitment to public safety.58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charlotte Gibbs-Welton

Investigate Trump officials for putting our national security at risk!It's not only dangerous to the American public that this happened, but the fact that a reporter was inadvertently given access to these current plans in real time shows that Pete Hegseth and the rest of this crew are astoundingly incompetent at the roles they've been chosen for. Pete Hegseth was just a Fox News host, with nowhere near the same sort of tactical experience that past defense secretaries had when Trump nominated him for his Cabinet. The risk of having Hegseth and other officials leak information like this raises concerns about the potential mishandling of classified information and sensitive details regarding U.S. war plans in the future. When President Donald Trump was asked about the report on Monday afternoon, he said, “I don’t know anything about it,” then added, “I’m not a big fan of The Atlantic.” If Trump won't take actual matters of national security seriously, we will. Sign the petition if you agree there must be a congressional hearing or investigation to hold Hegseth and officials in Trump's administration accountable.

Restore the 442nd Regimental Combat Team Webpage: Honor Their Legacy!A petition is being delivered to the Secretaries of Defense and the Army to make it clear that history cannot be rewritten—whether about the 442nd or any other distinguished service group. While the Army may have reinstated the webpage, this never should have happened in the first place. Moving forward, vigilance is essential to ensure it never happens again. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was not just the most decorated military unit in U.S. history for its size and length of service—they were family. Many had grandfathers, uncles, and relatives who served in the 442nd, the 100th Battalion, and the Military Intelligence Service (MIS). Their heroism, sacrifice, and unwavering loyalty to this country are deeply personal, standing as a testament to the highest ideals of military service and American values. The removal of the 442nd’s webpage from the U.S. Army’s website, following an executive order that ended so-called “radical” diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, was deeply disturbing and unacceptable. This decision dishonored the extraordinary sacrifices of the 442nd and attempted to erase a crucial chapter of U.S. military history—one that must be preserved and taught for generations to come. Were the brave members of the 442nd radical? Absolutely. They were radically courageous, radically selfless, and radically loyal to a country that had unjustly imprisoned their families, stripping them of freedom and democracy. And still, despite all of that, they fought with unparalleled bravery across Europe, including the legendary rescue of the “Lost Battalion” in France. Their actions were not just a testament to their valor—they were a direct challenge to the racial prejudice they endured. To see their contributions erased from official military history once again is shameful. As descendants of soldiers and internees, there is an obligation to ensure that their honor and legacy are never erased. While the Army has put the webpage back up, that is not enough. This was never just about a webpage—it is about ensuring that the sacrifices of these brave men are never erased again. The U.S. military must remain true to its history and values. This is a moment to “Go For Broke” once again—not just to restore what was lost, but to ensure it never happens again. There must be safeguards in place so that the history of the 442nd, and all distinguished service groups, is never erased or diminished in the future.5,792 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Congresswoman Jill Tokuda
