To save lives of Kenyans.

Congress has the power to make sure that our neighbors in states impacted by category 4 Hurricane Helene get the funding needed for rescue efforts to save lives, basic necessities like water, food, and prescriptions, and rebuilding their communities, homes, roads, businesses, and infrastructure. Congress is currently out of session through November 12, but relief can't wait. So we have to come together to make sure they return and get it done—because hundreds of thousands of impacted people are counting on the lifesaving resources that Congress can deliver. Just last week, Congress passed a bill that would fund the government through December, but despite forecasted hurricanes and wildfires raging, it left out billions of dollars that were requested for supplemental disaster funding—which would’ve been available now to communities impacted by Hurricane Helene. Frustrated by underfunded disaster relief, Representative Kathy Castor of Florida said, “The right-wingers here, the MAGA crowd, even after disasters happen, they have opposed disaster aid for communities in need.” It's completely unacceptable. FEMA’s disaster relief fund is already depleted and is currently at a nearly $2 BILLION deficit, forcing them to hold back billions of dollars in rebuilding projects to support more lifesaving work.6 But this was avoidable. FEMA should have the funding it needs to provide relief to our communities, which are enduring one climate catastrophe after another. Disaster funding should never be a partisan issue. Our communities that have been harmed by Hurricane Helene can’t wait until Congress is back in session in November; they need relief right now. Congress must come back and pass supplemental disaster funding NOW. Will you sign the petition?

Funeral homes are taking advantage of customers by gouging prices and not properly disclosing their prices. The NFDA's Funeral Rule Offenders Program does not hold funeral homes who engage in these practices accountable since they have a direct stake in the success of the industry. By signing this petition, we can guarantee bad actors in the funeral industry are held accountable and people who have lost their loved ones are treated with the respect and empathy they deserve.

Why This Matters The Melrose rooftop is a shared community space, and the ability to utilize it for walking my dog is part of the living experience that was promised when I moved in. Restricting access without any documented safety, maintenance, or legal violations undermines the trust and expectations that were established. Moreover, limiting the use of public amenities based on complaints from a single tenant, as has been suggested, sets a dangerous precedent for the community at large. This petition represents not only my personal concerns but those of other residents who value the building’s pet-friendly environment and expect to continue living in a space that respects the terms of the lease and the rights of all tenants. I respectfully request a prompt review of this matter and a formal response outlining the steps that will be taken to resolve these concerns.

We've had enough of being left out by Meta without a valid reason and navigating their exhausting and unhelpful customer support maze. We know we’re not alone—countless others are struggling with the same dismissive treatment. Meta's support system is outdated, frustrating, and impossible to understand. It’s time for change. Join us in demanding a clearer, more accountable, and genuinely supportive experience for all creators and businesses.

Dr. Rouhollah Aghasaleh’s only crime was to stand with students in the face of police violence from the administration at the time. Dr. Aghasaleh was a voice for peace and reason throughout the process and the overall occupation was actually safer due to their presence. Standing with Palestinians that are the victims of genocide and standing with students in the face of police violence and injustice are also not crimes. We do not believe that it is right to indefinitely suspend ANYONE in this way. Please do the right thing and bring Dr. Aghasaleh back to campus! In the time that they have been gone, they have continued to do teach-ins at no charge because they are truly that committed to, and passionate, about education.  

This is important because it’s a small gesture to us employees that can make a big impact for the betterment of the service industry in downtown New Orleans. 

This is for everyone involved in a near miss due to people running red lights. This is for people angry and frustrated that their safety isn't a priority on the roads. This is for those who want justice for victims of collisions involving unlicensed and uninsured drivers. This is for those who want accountability and consequences for law breakers. Above all, this is for our lives. 

By sharing this message, you are standing in solidarity with the Haitian community. You are demanding that Donald Trump and JD Vance apologize for their hurtful words, and that all elected leaders recognize the value and humanity of Haitian immigrants. Together, we can stand against hate. Together, we can build a future where all our children feel safe, where our contributions are honored, and where our voices are heard. 

The issue of sending drug addicts to prison is not just a personal problem; it’s a societal one that affects us all. Imprisoning individuals struggling with addiction doesn't address the root cause of their behavior—it perpetuates a harmful cycle of addiction, incarceration, and relapse. The prison system is not equipped to treat addiction, and as a result, these individuals often reoffend, creating a revolving door that impacts families, communities, and taxpayers. By prioritizing treatment and rehabilitation over prison sentences, we can help break this cycle. Studies show that treatment programs lead to lower recidivism rates, saving taxpayers money and improving public safety. Incarceration isolates individuals from the support networks they need for recovery, while treatment provides the tools to overcome addiction, rebuild lives, and contribute to society. We cannot solve the addiction crisis by simply punishing those who suffer from it. Instead, we must offer compassion and effective solutions that provide individuals the chance to recover and lead healthy, productive lives. This campaign is not just about reforming the justice system; it's about building stronger, healthier communities. Everyone knows someone affected by addiction, whether directly or indirectly. This issue transcends socioeconomic lines and impacts families, workplaces, and neighborhoods. By joining this campaign, you can help advocate for real change that addresses the root cause of addiction and offers a more effective, humane alternative to imprisonment. Together, we can create a society that doesn’t punish individuals for their struggles but helps them heal. By standing up for treatment over incarceration, you are helping to create a system that works for everyone—one that reduces crime, strengthens families, and promotes public health. Addiction is a public health issue, not a criminal one. Let’s work together to shift the focus from punishment to healing and ensure that individuals receive the help they need rather than being condemned to a life of imprisonment. Join us in demanding better solutions that benefit our entire community.

Being a member of Congress has many perks, but padding your stock portfolio shouldn’t be one of them. But right now, members of Congress can trade stocks in any number of companies — while voting on legislation that can increase the profit margins of the very same industries those laws govern. Take just one example: Every year, about HALF of an $800 BILLION Pentagon budget flows directly to weapons contractors like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and more. The lawmakers responsible for signing off on that astronomical amount? Many of them hold investments in the same weapons makers. That’s why what’s happening now is so important. A bipartisan group of senators has set the stage to dismantle this broken status quo with the “Ending Trading and Holdings In Congressional Stocks” or “ETHICS” Act. This groundbreaking bill would end the war profiteering by banning congressional stock trading altogether — and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs just pushed this urgently needed legislation past a crucial hurdle. Now, the stage is set for the ETHICS Act to go to the Senate floor, and when that happens, we need to make sure it passes with the resounding majority it deserves. Your senators' support is a crucial piece of the puzzle — and that’s why we need you to speak out today.

This project is important because it addresses several critical needs in Wyandotte County, both from a social and economic perspective. 1. **Tackling Affordable Housing Shortages**: The Kansas City region, including Wyandotte County, faces a **64,000-unit gap** in affordable housing, making it increasingly difficult for low- and moderate-income families to find stable, affordable homes [oai_citation:5,MARC News](https://www.marc.org/news/economy/affordable-housing-gap-even-wider-some-households). By creating 24 affordable housing units, this project directly contributes to alleviating this significant housing shortage. 2. **Economic Revitalization**: The site at **43rd and Mission Road** has sat vacant for over 20 years, representing a missed opportunity for economic development. This project will finally put the site to productive use, generating **increased property tax revenue** and providing a long-term boost to the local tax base. Additionally, it will increase **Board of Public Utilities (BPU)** revenue through greater utility consumption. 3. **No Taxpayer Burden**: Unlike many other public infrastructure or housing initiatives, this project is financed through **Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC)**, meaning it places **no financial burden** on local taxpayers. This allows the county to gain new housing and revenue sources without the need for direct public funding 4. **Smart Use of Existing Infrastructure**: The project leverages **infill development**, a key goal of the county’s comprehensive plan, which prioritizes building in areas where infrastructure already exists. This reduces the need for new infrastructure investment, making the project not only affordable but also sustainable In summary, this project represents a much-needed investment in affordable housing and community revitalization while offering significant economic benefits without burdening taxpayers. It addresses both short-term and long-term needs for the county, creating a more resilient, vibrant, and sustainable future.
