This petition is important because the Epstein Files Transparency Act was passed to shed light on one of the most powerful criminal networks in recent history and to ensure real accountability for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. When the Department of Justice appears to withhold or alter records—especially those involving serious allegations—it undermines both the rule of law and the public’s faith that justice applies equally to everyone, no matter how powerful.    Congress promised transparency and bipartisan oversight, not selective disclosure or partisan spin. If Members of Congress misrepresent what the law requires or look the other way when the DOJ withholds key evidence, that betrays the survivors who have already endured years of silence and dismissal.    Demanding a full and fair investigation isn’t about politics—it’s about restoring integrity to our institutions, protecting victims’ rights, and reaffirming that no one is above scrutiny when justice and truth are at stake.

There are an estimated 724,000 transgender youth between the ages of 13 and 17 in the United States. Each one, together with their own parents and guardians, turn to medical professionals to make informed, evidence-based decisions.  Reputable, unbiased studies have demonstrated that the health care targeted by HHS is safe, effective, and supported by many major medical associations in the United States.  By contrast, HHS based its proposed rule on an internal review which is deeply flawed and has been meticulously criticized by reputable major U.S. medical groups, including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.  When it comes to rules about health care for youth, these professional associations are far more credible sources of scientific knowledge than an HHS report that misrepresents the medical consensus and the realities of pediatric care. Every child deserves access to the full range of health care they need, particularly when parents are involved in the decision making in collaboration with medical, psychological, and spiritual advisers. As family members of trans Americans—parents, grandparents, and loved ones who are all part of Families United for Trans Rights (FUTR), we've seen firsthand how important these informed conversations are and how essential access to health care is. Thousands took the time to offer thoughtful comments about these proposed rules. The vast weight of the comments demonstrates widespread opposition to HHS’s attempts to demonize transgender people and deny them access to the health care they need.  As people across a wide range of political, religious and moral views, we believe that health care decisions must be guided by accurate, well-founded medical and scientific information, not by ideology and bias.   All youth deserve health care that their providers recommend—and parents and professionals, not biased science, should make these decisions.  Don’t demonize trans youth and deny them the health care they need.

The U.S. women’s hockey team set the standard in Milan, winning the gold medal earlier in the week and helping pave the way for a dual hockey win for the U.S. in the same Olympics for the first time ever. And the U.S. women’s team also made history as 22-year-old Laila Edwards became not only the first Black woman in the U.S. Olympic team, but the first Black woman to win an Olympic gold medal for hockey. And what did they do after their incredible accomplishment? They showed up to the men’s hockey game to cheer their fellow U.S. team on—only to have to hear the men’s team mock them in the locker room afterwards.  It's shameful.  The comments are indicative of the misogynistic culture that has pervasively undermined women’s talent and skill in the field of sports. Trump and MAGA republicans want to weaponize women’s sports to vilify and scapegoat trans and nonbinary athletes, meanwhile they treat women’s sport as a joke—even as women excel at the highest level of their craft and bring home the gold for our country. The “locker room talk” that we caught a glimpse of is part of the same culture that systemically harms women. We need men to speak out when women athletes are being disrespected—not validate misogyny with their laughter Every single member of the U.S. men’s hockey team owes the women’s team an apology. And they need to follow their apology up with action. >>Sign the petition

This petition is intended to demonstrate to Rep. Mike Bost the scope and the scale of the massive political will of his constituents. Impeachment articles can be filed and brought to a vote by any member of Congress at any time using Rule IX. Likewise, Congress holds the power to defund and abolish ICE. They aren’t acting because they do not have the political will to do so. So we will lend them some of ours.  The goals for this petition to IMPEACH, CONVICT, REMOVE, DEFUND are: 1. Ensure that Rep. Mike Bost understands how Trump’s crimes against the constitution translates into direct harm to his constituents. 2. Ensure that Rep. Mike Bost understands that his constituents want him to assert his power as a member of a co-equal branch of government and lead on impeachment and defunding ICE by filing articles and forcing votes on both of these critical initiatives. This petition is intended to demonstrate to Rep. Mike Bost that the push to impeach Trump, his enablers, and to defund ICE is a citizen-led demand that citizens will continue to pursue until Congress asserts itself and reigns in this unfit executive branch.

The Original Citizens Jurisdiction and Protection Act is a proposed federal law designed to clarify jurisdictional authority and prevent the unlawful detention of Native American citizens by federal immigration enforcement agencies the bill affirms tribal sovereignty recognizes Native Americans as U.S. citizens and establishes clear procedures when immigration agents encounter native individuals in the course of their duties The issue at hand:  Native American citizens are increasingly subject to improper stops detentions and transfers by US Customs and Border protection and immigration customs enforcement these incidents stem from jurisdictional confusion, racial profiling, and a failure to recognize tribal citizenship in sovereignty. Native Americans - who are citizens of the United States and members of sovereign nations have been detained in immigration facilities despite having no immigration status issues and there is currently no federal statute that explicitly limits immigration enforcement authority in these situations or establishes a required handoff to appropriate criminal jurisdiction.

The richest companies and people in America are pushing AI because a lot of their money is on the line. They’re telling the public that algorithms, chatbots, and automation will replace workers at historic levels in the next few years. THIS IS A THREAT TO WORKING PEOPLE. The unemployment rate for college grads is 5.6%, the highest level in more than a decade outside of the COVID-19 pandemic. Workers are being told in the thousands that they’re being replaced by AI.  Companies implementing AI are inundating people with “workslop.” A recent report in the Harvard Business Review catalogues how subpar work output from AI (“workslop”) is actually destroying productivity. Companies need to stop lying to their workers about AI. Corporate executives need to stop making jobs harder for people because of AI, and making baseless claims about AI.  Sign the petition: Stop using AI as a pretext for cutting jobs and laying people off! Human workers cannot be replaced by AI.

She was taken wrongfully away from her family. We need her. She is our main provider. She is miles away from us and we want to help and get her name and case out there to help us get her out and fight her case outside the facility. Our mother is a loving and caring person. She has no criminal record and all we want it to help her out and get her out.  La separaron injustamente de su familia. La necesitamos, es nuestro principal sustento. Está lejos de nosotros y queremos ayudarla a que su nombre y su caso sean conocidos para que podamos sacarla de la detencion y defender su caso. Nuestra madre es una persona cariñosa y atenta, no tiene antecedentes penales y lo único que queremos es ayudarla y sacarla de allí.

For nearly nine years, the family of Roni Reaves has been without full transparency regarding the circumstances surrounding her death. The Georgia Open Records Act exists to ensure that government agencies remain accountable to the public. When an agency cites a “pending investigation” exemption year after year without clear evidence of prosecution or active litigation, it raises serious concerns about transparency and equal application of the law. This petition is about more than one recording. It is about whether public agencies can indefinitely withhold records without demonstrating an active legal basis. If the law allows redaction, it should be used. If an investigation is active, it should be confirmed. If litigation exists, it should be clearly identified. Transparency builds trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. When transparency is delayed without explanation, trust erodes. The release of the 911 call — in accordance with Georgia law — would provide clarity, accountability, and fairness. This matters not only for Roni Reaves’ family, but for every citizen who relies on open government laws to ensure transparency in serious cases.

Despite diplomacy being the only way to truly keep people safe and avoid violence, Trump is ratcheting up the temperature on war with Iran. He’s deployed “two aircraft carriers, a dozen warships, hundreds of fighter jets and multiple air defense systems” to the region, and experts are sounding the alarm on what looks like a “massive, weeks-long campaign.” And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just made a special trip to DC where he tried to sabotage nuclear diplomacy and pave the path to war yet again. We have the narrowest window of time to prevent a new endless war in the Middle East. We can’t overstate the danger of this moment. Congress can — and must — pull us off the path toward a war that no one wants. We can’t afford for them to wait until Trump makes good on his threats to bomb Iran: To get lawmakers to act NOW, they need to hear from tens of thousands of constituents, from people like you.

Disturbing reports have revealed a deal between the Pentagon and an Israeli government-owned weapons firm for $210 million in advanced cluster munitions. They kept it quiet for a reason: Cluster bombs, banned by 123 nations, are infamously designed to unleash devastating, indiscriminate violence and mass suffering, even long after a war has ended. As many as 93% of their casualties are civilians, the vast majority children. The victims include farmers working their land. Children playing soccer. Families walking home from a wedding. This unique deal, where the U.S. government is buying, not selling, comes amidst evidence that the Israeli military recently used these widely-banned weapons in Lebanon. None of these reasons stopped the Pentagon from buying cluster bombs in one of its largest weapons purchases in decades. But you know what can? Congress. Congress has the oversight power to stop this sale, and with enough people speaking out, we can block this dangerous deal before more lives are put at risk.

Why This Matters Transparency laws only work if they are enforced. The Epstein case exposed a system where wealth and power operated in the shadows. When Congress passes a law requiring disclosure, it is a promise to the public that no one is above accountability. If required files are withheld, delayed, or selectively released, public trust erodes. Survivors are left without full acknowledgment. Citizens are left wondering what is being protected and why. This petition is about one simple principle: laws passed by Congress must be followed. If transparency can be ignored in one of the most high-profile criminal cases in modern history, it sets a dangerous precedent for every future case involving powerful individuals. Accountability strengthens democracy. Secrecy weakens it. That is why this matters. That is why we are asking Congress to enforce the law.
