Due to the increased number of school shootings all over our country children feel unsafe to seek further education ,as well as parents fearing for their children ranging from kindergartens to high schoolers. This domestic threat on my fellow classmates and I ,as well as so many children who attend schools everywhere violates the constitutional right to liberty and pursuit of happiness.  The right to education and safety are now teetering as nothing is done. Many children in the United States attending school have self harmed or attacked their schools because nothing was done to protect them from bullying and social outcasting, many students have harmed others for their right to exist, which can be linked to mistreatment at home, upbringing and lack of care from school officials.  It is important the elephant in the room must be addressed to insure a bright future for all students like me. 

We need to continue to put pressure on this organization to move this contract negotiation forward everyday. While we are standing on the strike lines and standing by to bargain, Providence executives are continuing to delay.

It’s outrageous that Trump has given Elon Musk, an unelected, unvetted, unconfirmed billionaire, an unprecedented and unconstitutional amount of power. Musk is using it to gut the federal government as we know it. It looks like sending USAID, the U.S. government’s lead distributor of lifesaving humanitarian aid and development assistance across the globe, “into the woodchipper” (his words). Millions of lives are at immediate risk. One USAID worker estimated that as a result of Musk’s handiwork, “At a minimum, 300 babies that wouldn’t have had HIV, now do.” The kicker? Musk is working to "reduce spending" while making money hand over fist from the same Pentagon contracts that pay his own companies billions each year. Musk’s net worth has increased by $65 BILLION since Election Day — growth that’s based on an assumption he will keep those government dollars coming, and in many cases with less regulation, moving forward. It’s corruption, plain and simple, and we refuse to sit idly by and allow it to continue. The Pentagon is accountable to Congress and the public: That’s US. So let's send lawmakers a message tens of thousands of people strong, urging them to block Elon from gaining another cent of our taxpayer money, and even more power, as fast as they can NOW.

Dear Friends, Artists have always been a beacon of humanity, compassion, resistance, and truth. As actors, musicians, directors, and theatre producers, we are not just entertainers; we are storytellers, culture-makers, and, when necessary, fighters. Now is one of those moments when we must fight. With Donald Trump’s takeover of the Kennedy Center, we are faced with a stark and urgent choice: either lend our talents and credibility to an institution now under the control of someone who has relentlessly denigrated and attacked our community, or stand firm in our values and refuse to participate in this erasure of artistic integrity. Trump has decimated arts funding, mocked artists, and waged war on the very principles that define our work: empathy, inclusion, and honesty. Now, he seeks to use the Kennedy Center, one of our nation’s most prestigious cultural institutions, as a prop for his authoritarian agenda. We cannot let that happen. Our industry has little political capital in this fight. We don’t have the lobbying power of Wall Street or Big Oil. What we do have is our collective influence, our presence, and our refusal to legitimize those who wish to destroy what we stand for. This is one of the few times we can flex that capital in a meaningful way. That is why we are calling on you to sign the pledge to boycott the Kennedy Center for as long as it remains under Trump’s control. Do not perform there. Do not direct there. Do not produce there. Do not buy tickets. Do not give him the legitimacy of your artistry. Break your contracts. Weather the fall-out. Stand tall.  We know this is a difficult decision, but history will remember who stood up when it mattered. Our silence, our absence, and our refusal to participate will send a message. Join us. Sign the pledge. Let’s make it clear that the arts are not for sale.

This is about who gets to exist in public spaces and whose stories get to be told on America's stage.  Drag performers have been attacked directly, resulting in bomb threats, armed protests, and mass shootings. But we've also seen how communities from coast to coast stand up for art and inclusion when given the chance. We're not going anywhere. Americans don't have to agree on everything, but we should be able to speak our minds and perform our art without bans, retaliation, or intimidation.  Join us in standing up for artistic freedom. Sign now to protect the Kennedy Center and free expression for all.

With the growing threat of harmful immigration policies in the U.S., it is important to provide material support for immigrant students and their families. When 1 relative faces deportation, it affects the entire family.  Currently, there are not many supports in the Salem-Keizer School District for students and their families when they experience deportation. Students report that deportations deeply affect their emotional, physical, and academic well-being, as they are forced to deal with loss of income, housing, food, and other necessities. These are unjust and detrimental barriers to education.  The Salem-Keizer School District should not be spending nearly 1 million dollars on a program that is not supported by research. Instead, these funds should be utilized for the actual well-being of students in the district, which begins by addressing the emotional, physical, and financial needs of immigrant students and families. 

Join me in the fight because WE are their voice! 

It’s important because if we don’t speak up now! Rates will continue to rise and we will continue to be expected to pay them regardless of the price on the bill. The city doesn’t have reliable utility assistance for its residents. Community Service doesn’t have funding… Most community organizations will tell you that the bill can’t exceed $200 dollars in order to receive assistance. So majority of our residents don’t qualify for the assistance. It’s important to remember the cost of living and minimum wage that the state still hasn’t graduated from. 

The core message of Star Trek is diversity and Mr Musk clearly violates these ideals.  We will discontinue Paramount+ services if this eggregious praise of a literal fascist is not quickly rectified

Every sport offered at Clay High School has a male and female alternative except for volleyball. In order to have equality boys deserve the right to play volleyball at Clay High School.

Loyalty is a two way street. Hailey has given back to her middle school by offering camp with lunch supplied for free to current middle school players along with volunteering at local camps run by The Dugout as well. She has remained loyal and been a major contributor in fundraising and building the programs she has participated with along with the culture she hopes to leave behind.

Lives are on the line, and we’re deeply concerned about Trump’s decision to nominate Mike Huckabee as the next U.S. Ambassador to Israel. As Ambassador, Mike Huckabee is likely to be an enthusiastic partner to Israeli PM Netanyahu, no matter the cost. His appointment would escalate division and sow further conflict in communities that have already borne incalculable levels of suffering and death. Huckabee is an outspoken supporter of Israeli settlements and holds the same views of far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and former National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir that Israel has a ‘biblical right to the entire West Bank’ — a territory he chooses to refer to as ‘Judea and Samaria’. What’s more, he’s also on record as saying ‘there’s really no such thing as a Palestinian’. No matter how the situation on the ground in Gaza evolves, we know that more bombs and bullets will not save lives or bring peace to people across Israel, Palestine, and beyond. We are eager to see the January ceasefire in Gaza hold and more hostages returned.  One thing remains clear: The U.S. government will continue to play a key role in whatever happens next.  The potential for renewed violence and suffering across the Middle East remains terrifyingly high, and the U.S. government should take every step possible to avoid it. That’s why we need every Senator to hear from activists like you, who are dedicated to building a lasting peace for Palestinians and Israelis alike, that Mike Huckabee is not fit for the job.
