This petition matters because diversity and inclusion aren’t just nice ideas—they’re about real people’s lives and opportunities. When big companies like Target back away from supporting underrepresented communities, they close doors for talented employees, small business owners, and customers who deserve a fair chance. By standing together, we can remind Target that their commitment to diversity isn’t just good business—it’s about doing what’s right. We also invite the public—employees, customers, business partners, and community members—to share their stories about how Target's DEI programs have impacted them. These personal narratives will demonstrate how diversity and inclusion initiatives create tangible, meaningful change in people’s lives—from career opportunities to community support. Stories will be carefully curated to protect individual privacy while highlighting the broader impact. We’ll select narratives illustrating how Target’s DEI initiatives have created opportunities, fostered belonging, and driven positive change across different communities and professional environments.

Why Is It Important? It is crucial to address the injustices caused by CPS and DCFS social workers who lie in court, resulting in the unwarranted removal of children from innocent parents. These actions devastate families, leaving lasting emotional and psychological scars on both parents and children. A system designed to protect children should not be used to tear families apart without evidence or due process. Reform is needed to ensure transparency, accountability, and fairness in child welfare practices. Why Should Others Join the Campaign? This fight is not just for one family but for every family at risk of losing their children due to false claims and unchecked power. By standing together, we can demand a child welfare system that prioritizes truth, justice, and family preservation. I created the nonprofit Stolen Children by CPS to support innocent parents and expose these systemic failures. Your voice can help bring about the change needed to protect families and hold CPS accountable for its actions. Join the campaign to ensure no parent suffers this injustice again. https://www.stolenchildrenbycps.com

Revamping the Process for State Record Fish Collection: A Call for Change State record fish represent the pinnacle of angling achievements and are often some of the oldest and largest members of their species. These remarkable creatures are not just trophies; they are vital to the ecosystems they inhabit, carrying genetics that contribute to the health and growth of future generations. Unfortunately, the current process for verifying state record fish fails to reflect their importance, leading to unnecessary harm to these extraordinary specimens. Under existing guidelines, potential record-breaking fish must be frozen for verification purposes, as required by organizations such as the Outdoor Writers of Ohio. If not frozen the fish still will usually not make it back to the water. This antiquated practice is not only detrimental to the individual fish but also to the broader ecosystem. Freezing a fish for verification removes its valuable genetic material from the waterway, impacting the species’ population and genetic diversity. Along with not knowing the true potential weight of a fish. Given the advancements in technology and fisheries science, it’s time to adopt modern, sustainable methods that allow for proper record verification without compromising the survival of these iconic fish. The Case for Change Fish that achieve record-breaking size have typically survived decades in the wild, overcoming environmental pressures, predators, and the angling community itself. Their survival is a testament to their resilience, and their genetic makeup is a resource that benefits the entire ecosystem. Removing these fish permanently from the water not only deprives the environment of their presence but also sends the wrong message about the values of conservation. The outdated requirement to freeze or euthanize potential record fish undermines the progress that has been made in sustainable fishing practices. Today, there are numerous ways to accurately measure and verify fish without causing their death. From high-resolution photography to certified measuring devices and digital scales, technology provides reliable alternatives that align with conservation principles. Failing to adopt these advancements perpetuates an unnecessary loss of life and diminishes the broader ecological benefits that these fish provide. Conclusion State record fish are more than just symbols of angling success; they are cornerstones of their ecosystems and guardians of genetic diversity. By transitioning to a modern, conservation-focused verification process, we can celebrate the achievements of anglers while ensuring the survival of these extraordinary fish. It’s time for state wildlife agencies, conservationists, and anglers to work together to adopt sustainable practices that honor both the sport and the environment. With the right changes, we can set a new standard for responsible fishing and leave a legacy of preservation for generations to come.

Dear Neighbor, I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to talk about an important opportunity to support our community’s growth and energy future. Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District is benefiting from historic investments that are creating jobs, lowering energy costs, and strengthening our energy resilience. Here are just a few of the ways the IRA is making a difference right here at home: • $13.4 million for solar power and energy storage in Durango, boosting clean energy innovation. • $16.6 million to expand a solar array in Alamosa, diversifying our local energy mix. • $250 million for wind turbine production in Pueblo, creating good-paying jobs for our families. In addition to these remarkable projects, programs like Solar for All are expanding access to clean, affordable energy for low-income families. This legislation is not just about energy—it’s about ensuring a strong, sustainable economy and a brighter future for everyone. Unfortunately, there is growing pressure to roll back the progress we’ve made. That’s why I’m asking you to join me in signing a petition to urge Representative Jeff Hurd to continue supporting the IRA. By standing together, we can ensure our district remains a leader in clean energy and economic resilience. Your voice matters. By signing this petition, you’ll help protect the benefits we’ve already seen and ensure that these opportunities continue to grow for future generations. Let’s work together to ensure that our community continues to thrive. Thank you for taking the time to support this important effort.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is the first woman to serve as Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. The National Prayer Service at the Washington National Cathedral the day after the inauguration is a longstanding tradition. Her sermon—attended by Trump and Vance along with their families—was grounded in the morals of her faith and shared values of compassion, care, and unity. “"There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives. The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings; who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants; who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals, they – they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation. But the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors.” ” Toward the end of her sermon, she stated: “God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land." Her remarks have been met with backlash from conservative groups like Turning Point USA, whose co-founder Charlie Kirk took to social media to disparage the Bishop. Other conservative religious leaders have also jumped to vilify Bishop Budde.  When people bravely speak out against this administration, they need to know that we have their back. Bishop Budde exemplifies the courage we need to not be complacent in the face of power. Add your name to thank her and show your solidarity and support! 

The children of our state deserve every single educational opportunity we can provide. This cannot be achieved through a voucher program. We instead need to make sure our public schools are fully funded. We need to invest in our children because they are Tennessee’s future.

Trump's attack on birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, and it's just one part of MAGA's far-right playbook to scapegoat our immigrant neighbors, all while Trump makes life easier for his wealthy friends and harder for everyone else. If this Congress votes on this order, they must resoundingly reject this brazen attack on our Constitution and its discriminatory agenda that threatens the very fabric of America.   Trump's promises of deportation raids and family separation policies are in practice unpopular—morally AND economically. Yet, he remains undeterred, because the true goal isn't efficient policies—it's scapegoating immigrants, fueling division, and creating a distraction while he and his billionaire allies profit at the public's expense. Congress must take action and refuse to concede to Trump's assault on our Constitution. Re-litigating the question of who gets to be a citizen is just another attempt by Trump to divide us and further advance a discriminatory America. We won't be distracted or divided. Add your name to demand Congress denounce and fight back against Trump's unconstitutional executive order—and commit to protecting birthright citizenship.

This issue is critically important because it highlights the need for true justice and accountability in our legal system. Three lives—Layla Stewart, Meshay Melendez, and Curtis Urquhart—were senselessly taken in acts of violence so brutal and inhumane that they demand a fair and thorough legal response. The failure to prosecute Kirkland Warren fully for the murder of Curtis Urquhart due to judicial bias undermines public trust in the justice system. It sends a message that connections and privilege can overshadow accountability, leaving victims and their families without closure. Layla Stewart’s case is especially horrifying, as she was  murdered at 7, her future stolen in the most tragic way. These crimes are not just about the victims but about protecting society from individuals who have demonstrated a complete disregard for human life. Transferring this case to Arkansas for a fair trial ensures that no one is above the law and that these victims and their families receive the justice they deserve. By addressing this, we reaffirm the importance of an impartial legal system that serves to protect and uphold the rights of all citizens.

housing insecurity affects everyone, directly or indirectly. It impacts our schools, hospitals, businesses, and local economies. When families can’t afford housing, children’s education suffers, healthcare costs rise, and economic growth stalls. Affordable housing isn’t just about helping those in need—it’s about creating strong, thriving communities for all of us.
