I.S. and his family know what awaits him if he's deported to Mauritania—retaliation, torture, and possibly death. He was recently transferred to the ICE jail in Prairieland. We fear his deportation is imminent. Biden and Mayorkas have the power to save I.S. and grant TPS for Mauritania, as well as to release the more than 100 Mauritanian refugees locked up in Adelanto. Let them know we want them to use this power today! Read "'Guilty until proven innocent'?

BREAKING: This week it was revealed that Texas Troopers severely violated the human rights of migrants seeking safety in the U.S. by denying them drinking water & literally pushing them back into the Rio Grande. This inhumane treatment was ordered by TX. Governor Abbot as a continuation of his administration’s anti-immigrant project Operation Lonestar by working closely with ICE & CBP to detain, abuse, and deport immigrants. In addition to his stunts of bussing of migrants out to other states, his administration has now installed razor wire barriers in the water of the Rio Grande that injure and make crossing much more dangerous. People including children, pregnant women, and babies have suffered serious injury & death as a result of these cruel tactics employed by Gov. Abbot’s administration. President Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas must act now to stop these human rights violations and provide relief to those who have suffered under TX Gov. Abbot’s abuse! They must investigate this and put an end to this abuse NOW! ADD YOUR NAME to demand President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas investigate and correct the treatment of migrants at our borders and offer relief to those who have suffered from Governor Abbott's actions!

This petition is to help keep our children, elderly, and property safe from by mindless and/or reckless drivers/motorists.

In the midst of multiple social, political, and environmental crises, Sen. Cruz and other conservative members of the GOP have decided to use their platform to oppose…the new Barbie movie. Sen. Ted Cruz called it “Chinese communist propaganda” due to a crudely drawn map briefly shown in the film, and Rep. Matt Gaetz's finacee called for a boycott of the film. While we recognize the impact that glib and careless representations of geography can have within larger historical and sociopolitical contexts, let's be clear: A man whose actions contributed to a violent insurrection isn't concerned about geopolitics or democracy. We suspect Sen. Cruz and MAGA Republicans just don't like a movie that actually passes the Bechdel test and where a Black woman was elected president. Sign the petition to let Sen. Cruz and MAGA Republicans know that they are no more welcome in Barbie Land than they are in Congress!

You should join in this campaign because you would be saving lives literally.every day someone is dying from heat strokes ,everyday someone is being evicted under false pretenses, everyday someone's constitutional rights are being violated.its time to stand tall and tell these corrupt politicians if they can't follow the constitution then they don't deserve to be in office.

Wisconsin is arguably only 1 out of 3 swing states left in America (Georgia and Arizona are the other two). Biden won by 20K votes out of 5 million people in 2020, and those votes were almost overturned by a corrupt right-wing Wisconsin Supreme Court, and a sleight of fraudulent Republican electors. Since the January 6th insurrection, The Minocqua Brewing Company has become a strong progressive voice in the reddest part of the state, and has spent over $1.2M to protect Wisconsin's democracy. We helped Elect Governor Tony Evers and helped elect a 4-3 progressive majority on Wisconsin's Supreme Court, ensuring that Wisconsin's democracy would not fall in the 2024 presidential election. Statewide Republicans are doing everything they can to cancel our company, and are now trying to do it through targeted and abusive zoning regulations. Winning this battle will show progressives in red areas that they too can stand up to corruption and MAGA extremism.

As of today [August 1, 2023] there is (1) "Climate Center" located on Towne Ave across from the HHCLA ReFresh Spot. This location has been up nearly year-round so it's not new, nor is it in the area with the highest foot traffic (highest need). This is not sufficient for the thousands of Skid Row residents who struggle with water insecurity. Even with the (6) public-use water fountains and (3) WaterBox devices (located inside private organizations so, not public-use), they are often dirty or broken so the unhoused, housing-insecure, and otherwise low-income Skid Row residents are forced to rely on bottled water given by infrequent volunteer groups or other, more unhealthy, illegal, and potentially dangerous solutions like tapping into fire hydrants. The (4) cooling center locations from Summer 2021 were a huge hit, yet funding for the next year was halved and the (2) centers approved for Summer 2022 were placed in remote locations. The metrics speak for themselves, and the Skid Row community wants the original (4) "Climate Center" locations back for Summer 2023, including (and especially) the location at 6th & San Pedro St. IF YOU CURRENTLY LIVE OR WORK IN SKID ROW, LOS ANGELES: Please sign this petition and join us in telling the offices of LA City Mayor, Karen Bass; Skid Row Strategies Director, Jarvis Emerson; and LA City Councilmember, Kevin DeLeon to 1) expedite the implementation of the APPROVED 2023 "Climate Center" program in Skid Row, and 2) one of the four locations should be at the corner of 6th & San Pedro St.

Have you ever used DoorDash or Uber Eats? Booked a flight or a hotel room? Paid an overdraft fee from your bank? Bought concert tickets for yourself or a loved one? If so, you're in the 85% of Americans who have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with junk fees. Many Americans are just trying to survive and provide for their families, and these little fees add up the most for lower-income and working class families. We have tools to lessen the burden of deceptive junk fees. There's the Junk Fee Prevention Act and rules and regulations individual agencies can pass to make it happen. Join us in the fight against junk fees!

While parents across the country are struggling to keep the lights on and put food on the table, most lawmakers in Congress make $174,000 — nearly double the average household income. But, now that isn't enough for House Republicans, who are trying to give themselves an $8,000 pay raise, even after blocking a $3,600 pay raise to parents. For all their finger-pointing and yelling about rising costs, House Republicans seem to have little concern about real solutions to help working families make ends meet. Instead of restarting the expanded Child Tax Credit and lowering the cost of living, House Republicans are lining their own pockets with taxpayer dollars. That's why we're standing up to say NO PAY RAISE FOR CONGRESS until House Republicans give parents a pay raise, too.

This enhances their overall learning experience and sets them up for success in their chosen field. 3. Financial Considerations: Delayed interview dates can have significant financial implications for prospective students. Many students have made financial commitments, including tuition fees, accommodation arrangements, and travel plans. Opening fall semester interview dates in a timely manner will prevent financial losses and ensure students can effectively plan and manage their finances. 4.

By rallying together, we can advocate for the opening of fall semester interview dates and make a positive impact on the lives of prospective students seeking educational opportunities in the United States.

The summer heat will soon be here and farm workers and other outdoor workers desperately need a federal heat standard. The need is more urgent than ever, with the way the government has shifted to the right. In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis just signed a bill which bans local ordinances giving workers water and shade breaks. It also bans local governments from requiring that employers conduct heat- exposure training programs. It takes away protections for employees who report heat exposure issues and removes record-keeping requirements. The new law takes effect July 1. Texas - already first in work-related heat exposure deaths - passed a similar law last summer. The “Death Star Bill” limits local governments from establishing ordinances for mandatory water and shade breaks for outdoor workers. These state bills are examples of why all farm workers and outdoor workers desperately need federal heat protections. Heat risk is real. Climate change is happening and outdoor workers are more and more in danger every year. Extreme temperatures could make thousands of workers seriously ill – and even suffer heat stroke and die. Farm workers are as much as 35 times more likely to die from heat than any other civilian occupation. Only a handful of states – California, Oregon and Washington – have policies on farm work in extreme heat. This lack of regulations puts farm workers in an impossible situation where they are forced to choose between making a living and taking care of their health. Currently, OSHA is relying on the "general duty" clause that says the general duty of an employer is to provide safe working conditions. That's not enough. Instead, workers need enforceable protections and penalties – including criminal proceedings – so dangerous incidents never happen. The men, women and children working in our fields can't wait. A Department of Labor committee recommended OSHA pass permanent rules, but this can take years. Workers need immediate heat standards to be put in place – before more people die. Heat deaths are preventable tragedies. The prevention is nothing complicated: shade, cool water, rest, education and monitoring. Sign our petition today and demand OSHA enact immediate heat regulations!

Given the severity of these issues and their impact on our lives, we kindly request that the Homeowner Association take immediate action to address this matter. Our proposed solution is the option for the homeowner to install 6 ft privacy fences, we can all agree on a style (wood or vinyl) & color (white, all the homes have white gutters to match) to make it look uniform. This will provide a physical barrier to deter unauthorized access and ensure our safety and privacy. We understand that implementing such changes requires careful consideration, including obtaining necessary permits and adhering to any local regulations. However, we believe that the urgency and seriousness of these incidents warrant an expedited process.
