Meeting with constituents is a crucial part of every elected official's responsibilities. Face to face discussion is indispensable to real communication with our representatives.

Missouri is a reliably red state. Nearly all of our leaders in Congress are Republicans so why do they need to do town halls if they know they'll have your vote no matter what? America is under attack. This is not a left vs right or liberal vs conservative. This is farmers, doctors, nurses,  police officers, teachers, retail workers, veterans,  disabled citizens, every Missouri resident vs those gutting our institutions with no concern. This is corrupt. This is fascistic. This is the rich stealing from right under our noses so we need to have town halls to tell Josh Hawley, Eric Schmitt, and our Representatives in Congress how we feel about what they're allowing to happen. How they're standing aside and giving trillions of dollars in tax cuts that WE, the normal people,  will get to pay for. They do what's in their political interests and not their constituents because they know they have your no matter what. Sign this petition. Make them talk to us. Make them answer for what they are and are not doing. They work for Missouri,  not Musk.

The wrongful termination of parental rights is a human rights violation that impacts not just Danielle Cox but families across Missouri and beyond. When the government takes children from their parents without following the law, due process, or proper assessments, it sets a dangerous precedent—one that could happen to any parent. This is not just one case. Missouri’s child welfare system is broken, and it is destroying families instead of helping them. • If a parent is denied fair access to their children, any parent can be. • If caseworkers refuse to work with a parent, any parent can be falsely labeled "uncooperative." • If the state fails to comply with legal requirements for reunification, any family can be unjustly torn apart. 🔹 This Case Exposes a Dangerous Pattern Missouri’s Department of Social Services (DSS) and family courts have been ripping families apart without following the law. If we allow them to get away with this in Danielle Cox’s case, they will continue doing it to others. 🔹 Every Child Deserves to Stay with Loving Family Children should not be forcibly taken from their parents when there are safe, legal, and family-based options available. Danielle’s sister was willing and able to take placement of the children to keep them together as a family, but DSS ignored the law and denied her request. This is a direct violation of Missouri's own statutes requiring family placement priority. 🔹 Government Should Be Held Accountable No government agency should have the power to ignore the law and take children away from their parents without due process. If DSS and Missouri courts can do this to Danielle, they can do it to anyone. 🔹 If We Don’t Act, This Will Keep Happening There are hundreds, if not thousands, of families suffering the same injustice across Missouri and the country. Many parents lose their children because they don’t have the resources to fight back. Your signature, your voice, your support could help stop this from happening to other families. This is not just about one mother. This is about protecting all families from unjust and unlawful government intervention. How You Can Help Right Now ✅ Sign the petition to demand that the Missouri Supreme Court reverse the termination of parental rights in this case and investigate DSS’s failures. ✅ Share this petition with your friends, family, and social networks. The more signatures we have, the louder our voices become. ✅ Contact Missouri legislators, Governor Parson, and the Attorney General. Demand an independent investigation into Missouri DSS and wrongful terminations of parental rights. ✅ Join us in calling for a national conversation about parental rights and government accountability in child welfare cases. 🚨 Missouri is failing its children and families. If we do nothing, more parents will lose their children unlawfully. Join us today and stand up for justice! 🚨

Renaming the Department of Special Education to the Department of Exceptional Student Education (ESE) is an important step toward fostering a more inclusive, respectful, and empowering environment for all students. The current term, “Special Education,” while functional, often carries outdated and limiting connotations, potentially focusing more on what students can’t do rather than highlighting their unique strengths and potential. Switching to the term Exceptional Student Education not only reflects the diverse abilities and potential of these students but also aligns with modern educational practices that emphasize inclusion, equality, and a positive outlook on diversity. This shift in language can change perceptions both within schools and throughout the community, leading to a more supportive environment where students are seen and treated as exceptional, not defined by their challenges. Supporting this change empowers students with disabilities to be seen for their abilities rather than their challenges. It gives students a sense of pride and encourages them to recognize their strengths. Renaming the department also reflects a deeper commitment to inclusive education and creating a community where all students are respected, valued, and have equal opportunities to succeed. This aligns with the principles of equity and diversity that many schools and organizations are working to strengthen. Furthermore, changing the language surrounding education can have a ripple effect on the entire community. If the department’s name is reframed, it could encourage positive perceptions of students with disabilities among teachers, parents, and the community at large, which can lead to greater understanding and support. As our understanding of education and disability evolves, so should our language. By advocating for this change, we are joining a larger movement toward a more forward-thinking educational approach. This is an opportunity to reshape the way we approach special education and position our students for success in an ever-changing world. When you join this campaign, you show others that advocating for meaningful changes—no matter how small they may seem—is crucial to building a better and more inclusive society. The more people who speak up, the stronger the message becomes that language matters and that all students deserve recognition for their exceptional abilities. Together, we have the power to create change. Your voice, whether you’re a parent, educator, student, or community member, contributes to an essential movement that aims to better serve and empower students. This is an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than just a name change—it’s about shifting the narrative for exceptional students and ensuring that they are recognized and celebrated for who they truly are. Your support will show that this is more than just a minor change—it’s a critical step toward transforming how students with disabilities are viewed, treated, and supported in our community. Join the campaign today, and together, we’ll make a meaningful difference!

The 2022-2024 assessment conducted by Cayuga County and Auburn Community Hospital identified several health challenges within the community, including: ●     Obesity: 33.9% of adults in Cayuga County have obesity, compared to 29.1% in New York State.   ●     Physical Inactivity: 26.4% of adults in Cayuga County do not participate in leisure-time physical activity, compared to 22.4% in New York State.   ●     Smoking: 18.3% of adults in Cayuga County smoke cigarettes, compared to 15.9% in New York State.   ●     Opioid Prescriptions: The opioid analgesic prescription rate in Cayuga County is 384.9 per 1,000 population, exceeding the New York State rate of 343.6.   ●     Mental Distress: 10.9% of adults in Cayuga County experience frequent mental distress, compared to 10.7% in New York State.   ●     Poverty: 11.6% of the population in Cayuga County lives in poverty. These health challenges highlight the need for Medicaid services in the community. Medicaid is a government-funded health insurance program that provides coverage to low-income individuals and families. Medicaid services can help address the health challenges identified in the assessment by providing access to preventive care, chronic disease management, mental health services, and substance abuse treatment.

 Our parks are critical in the fight against the ongoing climate crisis. Without the necessary funding to maintain and expand public lands, we jeopardize our ability to fight the climate crisis through economic stewardship and to protect our natural resources for future generations.     National parks and forests are home to countless species of plants and animals, many of which are endangered. Insufficient funding leaves them vulnerable to invasive species, habitat destruction, and climate change impacts. The park rangers that protect these parks are essential not only for maintaining park landscapes but also for ensuring public safety and education. Without proper staffing,  fewer rangers are available to educate visitors about conservation and safety, and there are fewer resources to protect our lands from damage and misuse.    These are funding cuts that will impact communities across the country. National parks and forests are an important part of the local economy, supporting tourism, jobs, and small businesses. Substantial cuts to these programs will harm communities that depend on parks for income and tourism. National parks are also one of the few spaces left that are usually free or inexpensive and open to the public.    We must reverse course: Our parks and forests, and all the rangers who keep them safe and taken care of, need us now more than ever. Sign the petition to demand that Congress push back against these cuts and ensure that park rangers have the resources they need to protect our natural heritage and fight climate change. 

The 2025 FLUM Amendments are the most CATALYTIC, needed, important, public policy decisions that you may vote for that brands the City of New Orleans "EAST" as Open for Business!!

Clarksville is one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee, yet Tennova Healthcare-Clarksville—the only hospital in the area—is dangerously understaffed, overcrowded, and lacks critical trauma and stroke care. Patients face long wait times, inadequate treatment, and are often transferred to other cities for life-saving care. Even worse, many residents refuse emergency transport out of fear of poor conditions at Tennova. This is a public health crisis that puts our entire community at risk. We cannot afford to wait. By joining this campaign, you are helping demand urgent action from city and state leaders to improve healthcare services, hold Tennova accountable, and secure funding for a second hospital or expanded emergency care. Every voice counts—the more people who speak out, the harder it is for officials to ignore this crisis. Clarksville residents deserve safe, accessible, and timely medical care. Sign the petition today and help us fight for the healthcare our community needs!

The Stonewall Inn is where queer people fought back against police harassment in 1969, sparking the modern LGBTQ+ movement. At the forefront of the fight were trans activists like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, two brave trans women of color who became a symbol of resilience for the entire community. The trans and drag community have always been part of the LGBTQ+ community. For the federal government to try to erase trans people is nonsensical and unacceptable. We won’t let history be rewritten to deny the true legacy of Stonewall. Sign the petition now telling the National Park Service to STOP erasing queer history and reverse these changes on Stonewall’s website! 

The U.S. Postal Service is again under attack by Donald Trump and the world's biggest business con, Elon Musk. Trump’s plans to overhaul the post office and privatize it would be disastrous for people across the country—especially the 50 million residences in rural areas for which it will simply not be as profitable to ensure reliable, timely delivery. In fact, it could effectively end rural postal service, and dramatically raise costs for everyone else.  It’s not just the essentials that are on the line—medications, food, legal documents, and even voting ballots and reminders. The post office is also how we get messages from our loved ones—post cards, letters, and gifts that connect us to the important people in our lives. The ability to get the goods you need and stay in contact with the people you love should not depend on where you live or how much money you have. But in Trump's world, it would – and rural people would be the ones who would have their mail delivery stripped from them by Trump. For years, Donald Trump has wanted to bankrupt the Postal Service and allow private equity firms and global corporations to privatize the service, dismantle the agency, and allow billionaires to further profit off of the American people. The post office is a public good—and we are ready to defend it. Add your name to the petition now! 

Being presented under the guise of "election integrity" and anti-immigrant in nature, the SAVE Act would require everyone to provide proof of citizenship when registering or re-registering to vote by presenting a passport or birth certificate.  Nearly 21 million U.S. citizens of voting age do not have proof of citizenship readily available, only about half of American adults have a passport, and millions lack access to a paper copy of their birth certificate. Make no mistake: This is a bill intending to suppress our freedom to vote. The impact of this legislation would be felt broadly but would impose hurdles for low-income voters, the millions of people who have ever changed their last name, young people, rural communities, people living on tribal lands, and unhoused people, disproportionately impacting people of color.   In the last Congress, Democrats proposed legislation like the Freedom to Vote Act and John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act to ease the burden of voting and make it more accessible and safe. Now, Republicans are doing the exact opposite. We must BLOCK this blatant attempt to strip away our freedom to vote.  Those in power should be working to make voting easier—not putting more confusing systems in place. Sign the petition now to demand that Congress reject the SAVE Act!
