• Drop the charges against David Huerta!
    Service Employees International Union (SEIU) of California President David Huerta was assaulted, injured, and detained while advocating for immigrant workers. He was hospitalized for a head injury sustained during his arrest, but the federal government has charged him with with conspiracy to impede an officer. David, a husband and father of two, is also a well-known and beloved community member. From organizing with Justice for Janitors to his decades of work with SEIU, Huerta has been a champion for workers in Los Angeles. In 2014, he was awarded the National Champion of Change from then-President Barack Obama for his advocacy and commitment to fighting for immigrant neighbors. And now, the Trump administration threatens to imprison him.  The Trump administration is trying to silence civil unrest and using workers like David to intimidate everyday people from exercising their fundamental rights. Add your name to show your solidarity with David and the immigrant workers across the country that he was defending.

  • Resist Trump's militarized attacks on the public!
    Trump’s deployment of the military to intimidate and quell local protests—without a request from the governor—is the first incident of its kind in sixty years. And the conditions that would warrant such an intervention were simply not met. Title 10 of the U.S. Code on Armed Services—the loop hole Trump is using to justify moving forward without governor approval—has never been evoked the way Trump is leveraging it. And this violation of our right to protest is costing us—literally. Deploying the troops to L.A. will cost taxpayers around $134 million.  L.A. is ground zero for Trump to see what he can get away with when it comes to abusing the powers of the U.S. military. And make no mistake, this is the blueprint he will use for other cities and states across the country.  Militarized presence does not quell social unrest—it ramps it up. Our federal government should be following the lead of state and local governments, not bulldozing over individual and state rights to silence dissent and exert control.  Add your name to the petition to urge governors to fight back against Trump’s militarized power grabs!

  • Restore funding for flu vaccine research and development!
    When it comes to the bird flu, RFK Jr.’s unfounded claims are once again causing experts to sound the alarm. He has carelessly suggested that farmers should allow bird flu to run unchecked, a plan that scientists are calling “inhumane and dangerous.” The bird flu has already devastated the commercial poultry industry after 173 million birds were culled—causing the price of eggs to skyrocket. And while the 70 people infected have been mostly farm workers, the virus continues to spread aggressively among cattle herds and poultry flock, raising concern about how it will mutate and become more infectious between humans.  Once again, the Trump administration is putting debunked science ahead of public health. The Trump administration must prioritize public health and safety by fully funding vaccine research, including for the bird flu. Add your name now >>

  • Fight Back Against Anti-LGBTQ+ Legislation!
    Attacks against LGBTQ+ communities have spiked in the last five years. In 2020, only 100 anti-LGBTQ+ laws were introduced in states across the country—today, it’s eight times that. Republicans are stoking homophobia—including intentionally spreading disinformation and misinformation—in order to instill fear and distract the general public while they cheat the American people and give tax breaks to their wealthy friends. But we refuse to be divided.  The majority of Americans support LGBTQ+ equal rights. Republicans are out of step with the American people and pushing a discriminatory agenda in order to enrich themselves.  State governors have a responsibility to represent everybody in their state and to protect LGBTQ+ residents from attacks that threaten their freedom and fundamental rights. Add your name to the petition to urge your governor to take action NOW!

  • Make The Perpetrators Pay
    Making the perpetrators pay for the damage to the U.S. Institute of Peace is important for several ethical, legal, and civic reasons: 1. Accountability Upholds the Rule of Law When officials or agents of the government abuse their power, allowing them to walk away without consequence sets a dangerous precedent. Requiring restitution shows that no one is above the law—not even politically connected actors. 2. Taxpayers Shouldn't Pay for Political Vandalism The damage was not accidental—it resulted from an illegal takeover and willful neglect. If the public pays for those repairs, it rewards bad behavior and misuses public funds. The financial burden belongs to those who caused the harm. 3. Restoring Trust in Government Institutions USIP is a nonpartisan, congressionally chartered institution with a mission to prevent violence. If such an institution can be illegally dismantled with no consequence, public faith in the integrity and independence of government agencies erodes. 4. Reparations Are a Form of Justice Making perpetrators pay isn’t about punishment alone—it’s about repairing the harm done. That includes: • The cost of building repairs • Compensating wrongfully fired workers • Restoring operational capacity and morale 5. It Deters Future Abuses Without consequences, future actors may feel emboldened to repeat or escalate similar abuses. Restitution, fines, or community service send a clear message: you don’t get to break the public’s trust without paying for it.

  • Stop Trump and Palantir's mass data collection power grab!
    The Trump administration is collecting our personal information — and giving Big Tech company Palantir our tax dollars for this dangerous WH surveillance project. Palantir’s founder, Peter Thiel, is a billionaire Trump mega-donor. Palantir has received at least $113 million from the federal government since Trump took office in January. Fears are growing that Trump and Palantir are compiling a master list of personal information on Americans that could give Trump “untold surveillance power.” Congress must call for an end to Trump’s insidious surveillance scheme and Thiel’s data collection cash grab. Government officials say Palantir’s tech could easily merge information from different government agencies — giving Trump a coordinated set of personal data on everyone in America. The data could include hundreds of data points on citizens and others through government databases, including their bank account numbers, the amount of their student debt, their medical claims, and any disability status. Elon Musk’s DOGE chose Palantir for this anti-democratic undertaking, giving fellow Trump mega-donor Thiel a windfall of cash. If our elected leaders stand by and do nothing, they will allow the White House to amass unprecedented power and a detailed look into our individual lives. Trump would have all the information he needs to threaten, persecute, attack, and punish all of his political enemies. Sign the petition: Stop Trump’s dangerous escalation in government data collection. SOURCE: New York Times, “Trump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans,” May 30, 2025.

  • Together, let’s raise our voices and say: No Ban — Ever!
    No matter how Trump and Stephen Miller dress them up, their recently announced travel ban and ALL the others they have attempted amount to the same thing: A racist immigration policy that leaves people to suffer and struggle. Communities across the country have recently seen their neighbors disappeared, abducted, detained, and deported. With the latest iteration of Trump’s infamous Muslim Ban set to go into effect as soon as 12:01 AM on June 9, the chaos, fear, and harm will only deepen. Make no mistake: Travel bans do not make anyone safer. Centering bigotry and hatred at the heart of U.S. immigration policy will only separate families, demonize immigrants, and strip our country of the values — of the people — who help make it great. But we anticipated this move, and that’s why we’re ready to demand the kind of policies that keep people — everywhere — safe. The good news? Champions in Congress are speaking out. That’s the kind of leadership necessary to repeal these hateful bans, remind the White House that Congress — and people like us — have a say in our governance, and send a crucially needed message of hope and welcome to people whose lives Trump is upending. It’ll take a sustained groundswell of opposition in the coming days and months to make it happen. How do we get that? You. Sign now to send every member of Congress a loud and clear message: No Ban Ever.

  • Tell Congress: No cuts to the Affordable Care Act!
    Millions of people could have their health care ripped away if the ACA rollbacks proposed by Republicans in Congress are implemented. By ending automatic reenrollment in plans, letting health care premium tax credits expire, and cutting subsidies for certain immigrants, Republicans are stripping critical health care access for everyday Americans—all so they can give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy. Health care leaders are sounding the alarm. In a letter to the House, organizations including American Diabetes Association, American Lung Association, and the American Cancer Society warned that ACA cuts would be devastating for the marketplace—and the people who rely on it. “If enacted, millions of people will lose health insurance, premiums will skyrocket, and hospitals and health care providers will be forced to close their doors—particularly in rural communities.”  Nearly two-thirds of Americans have a favorable opinion of the ACA. Over the years, people have contacted their legislators, protested in the street, and publicly shared their stories about how the ACA has benefited them and their families. We can’t slow down now—we have to keep up the pressure.  Add your name to the petition now!

  • Topher's Law
    I am writing to urge you to consider sponsoring and supporting a proposed piece of legislation called Topher’s Law. (Together on Protecting Human Ethical Rights) This bill is designed to reform Missouri’s guardianship laws to ensure that adult wards who are disabled or otherwise under guardianship retain their right to maintain family relationships—without unnecessary court hurdles or isolation imposed by overreaching guardians. Currently, immediate family members often face significant barriers in simply visiting, calling, or taking their loved one on an outing, even with the ward’s full consent. In some cases, families must petition the court just to spend time together—placing an unjust burden on those who should be presumed to act out of love and care. Topher’s Law flips that burden: if a guardian wishes to deny access, they must go to court and prove why it is necessary. This legislation: Centers the ward’s own voice and consent. Provides a court-appointed advocate regardless of the ward’s ability to pay. Protects against unjustified isolation from immediate family. Brings transparency and accountability to guardianship practices. I’ve included a full draft of the proposed law with this letter. I would be deeply grateful for the opportunity to meet with you or your staff to discuss this further. Families across Missouri—and more importantly, the individuals placed under guardianship—deserve protection, dignity, and a law that puts their humanity first
