This administration wants us to be overwhelmed and feel as if we are in complete chaos! Let’s not let them do that.  Let’s start by gathering everyone against this fascist administration in one place and we can do that by signing this petition to show how strong our numbers are! Show them how we outnumber them!  When we organize, we win. When we fight, we win

America is the wealthiest nation in the world. We can and should have a fully staffed flight control system and a fully funded FAA. A politic that would consider tax cuts for the wealthy so they can take joy rides into space, while at the same time using a 'Swiss cheese' approach to air traffic control to pinch government spending is insane.  The irreplaceable lives of 67 people were lost this Thursday due to a preventable accident. All mid-air collisions are this. At the time of this accident, the fact that one controller was doing the work of two, and that this was considered 'permissible' reveals the root of the problem: Short staffed air traffic controller systems. These dedicated, over worked heroes have warned us for years, since the 1970's when Reagan fired them all over a strike about working conditions, that their work load is unrealistic. As traffic has increased dramatically over the last decades, near-collisions have increased proportionately. Yet, our government leaders have not responded to the warnings that traffic controllers are overworked and under staffed. Many, many warnings have been ignored. Now 67 have died and their families have suffered the worst imaginable loss; all because these elected leaders have failed to respond. We the people must DEMAND that our air traffic control system be fully staffed and fully funded, so it can operate at it's best possible level and provide the best possible safety.  Our very lives depend on it. Please sign this petition, and we must all call / write your Senators and Congress persons and make this demand.  Fully staff flight controllers and fully fund the FAA.

Erasing Scientific Data Puts Lives at Risk. The youth mental health crisis was identified and tracked using the very survey data that is now being erased. Data saves lives. Researchers, doctors, and scientists rely on it to develop evidence-based treatments and interventions—but Trump is endangering Americans one executive order at a time.

 Millions of Americans rely on public media  for their news and educational programming. In many rural areas in our country, public broadcasting is their main avenue for receiving news, emergency updates, and more. These baseless attacks against public broadcasting and the crucial funding needed to run these programs create a real threat for Americans across the country. 99% of the US population lives within the listening range of at least one public media station. Every single person deserves access to local news, educational programming, and independent journalism without corporate and political influence.  In a time where misinformation and disinformation are at an all time high—it’s crucial that Americans have access to important public broadcasting networks such as PBS and NPR. Sign the petition now to say NO funding cuts to PBS and NPR!

Every sport offered at Clay High School has a male and female alternative except for volleyball. In order to have equality boys deserve the right to play volleyball at Clay High School.

Medical debt is a mounting crisis in Virginia. Half of adults in the state report having faced medical debt in the past five years. Of those, nearly 30% had more than $1000 in medical debt. This burden is often the result of unavoidable illnesses-nobody chooses to get cancer or suffer a heart attack. Our state legislature can act now to protect Virginia patients from predatory medical debt by passing this bill. Note that the bill has passed the Virginia State House on Wednesday January 29th, and moves on to the Senate!

Loyalty is a two way street. Hailey has given back to her middle school by offering camp with lunch supplied for free to current middle school players along with volunteering at local camps run by The Dugout as well. She has remained loyal and been a major contributor in fundraising and building the programs she has participated with along with the culture she hopes to leave behind.

Days ago, Trump removed a vital layer of oversight by purging over a dozen Senate-confirmed government watchdogs across Defense, State, Transportation, Labor, Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Energy, Commerce, Treasury, and Agriculture, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency, Small Business Administration, and the Social Security Administration. Trump claims, “It’s a very common thing to do.” It isn’t. What it is, is illegal. But don’t ask us. Ask Senators Adam Schiff and Lindsey Graham, who agree that Trump’s Inspector General (IG) purge violates U.S. law. What they don’t agree on is what comes next — and that’s where you come in. A president can’t illegally dismiss officials designed to hold him to account without repercussions. The Inspector General Act, originally passed in 1978 and updated just two years ago, allows a president to remove an IG. To do it, he has to give Congress 30 days' notice before the removal and explain the rationale for each removal. Neither requirement was satisfied when Trump fired as many as 17 IGs late on Friday, January 24, 2025. The consequences of inaction at this moment could last generations. But together, we can demand justice and safeguard our democracy. Because when Congress acts, a president listens: In 2020, Sen. Chuck Grassley held up Trump nominees when he was angry about another dubious Trump firing of IGs. Decades earlier, when President Reagan summarily fired the IGs, congressional outcry got them reinstated. Members of Congress have a fundamental and legal duty to make sure that Trump follows the law — and the kind of leverage to get these expert civil servants reinstated. People’s lives and safety are on the line and lawmakers must act immediately. 

Human rights are the cornerstone of a just and equitable society. They ensure that every individual, irrespective of their background, is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness. Yet, countless communities still face systemic discrimination, exclusion, and violence. It is our collective responsibility to stand up for these rights and demand action from our leaders. Immigrant rights are human rights. Immigrants contribute immensely to the fabric of our nation, yet they often face unjust policies, separation from their families, and lack of access to basic resources. We must advocate for comprehensive reforms that prioritize compassion and fairness. Transgender troops, who serve courageously to defend our nation, deserve the same respect and protections as every other service member. Their dedication and bravery should never be undermined by discriminatory policies or prejudice. Standing up for their rights is not just about inclusion—it’s about honoring their invaluable contributions. By uniting our voices, we can urge the US Congress to enact meaningful policies that uphold the principles of peace and equality for all. Let’s champion the rights of every human being, regardless of their nationality, identity, or role in society. Together, we can create a world where everyone is treated with the dignity they deserve.

The directive, issued by the White House Office of Management and Budget, impacts tens of billions of dollars in funding.  Children and families across the country could suffer from abrupt cuts to school breakfast programs, food benefits, child care block grants, and housing vouchers.  Not to mention how it could impact funding for public education, roads, and transportation. Health care programs and programs like Medicaid, cancer research, and suicide hotlines.  The people who provide these services and the people who rely on them are having their entire livelihoods thrown into limbo. Even temporary pauses to these critical programs could have long standing and lasting effects for everyday people.  Trump and his wealthy friends won’t be impacted by disruptions to federal aid. This is just another political stunt to them. But for the average American, stunts like this are devastating. It’s unacceptable for the people we trust and elect into office to play politics with the public services and social safety nets we rely on. These federal grants are our tax dollars at work. Trump has no right to freeze necessary funding that puts our communities, jobs, and health at risk. Add your name to the petition to fight back against this or any future freeze to federal aid! 

We need to stop the glorification of such a serious situation. These are people’s lives that are being impacted, not TV fodder.  Please show some compassion for those who are victims of this cruel process and stop the glorification of the situation.
