This debate is not the only speaking opportunity Trump has bailed on recently. He was supposed to do a 60 Minutes interview with Harris on October 7 but backed out of the hard-hitting interview, complaining about how it would be live fact-checked.  Instead, Harris was able to do a one-on-one interview and share more in-depth about her economic plans, including making the ultrawealthy and corporations pay their fair share, giving tax breaks for first-time home buyers, and expanding the child tax credit. These are the issues Americans want to hear more about. If Trump is too scared to debate Harris, voters still deserve to have their questions asked and answered.  CNN is ready. Harris is ready. Commit to moving forward with an interview of Kamala Harris if Trump refuses to debate on October 23!

The National Women’s Hall of Fame is the oldest nonprofit organization and museum in the country dedicated to honoring the achievements of women in the U.S. Since 1973, more than 300 women have been inducted into the Hall, including political leaders like Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi. Kamala Harris deserves to be among these honored women. Even before becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, Harris made history and inspired generations in her election as vice president, the attorney general of California, and San Francisco district attorney.  Through every role that she has served in, she has fought tirelessly for everyday Americans on today's most pressing issues—advocating for women’s rights, voting access, clean air and water, commonsense gun legislation, and more.  Presiding as president of the Senate, Kamala Harris set a record for the most tie-breaking votes cast by a vice president—making her the critical deciding vote to confirm five federal judges, pass the American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act, and rein in Big Pharma by capping insulin costs at $35. She has been a strong and consistent advocate for protecting and advancing abortion rights, launching a "Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour and making history as the first U.S. vice president to visit an abortion clinic.  Harris has already made history and contributed significantly to our country. She deserves her place in the National Women’s Hall of Fame.  Add your name if you agree! 

The future of our democracy is at stake if the Republican presidential ticket fails to accept the results of the 2024 election.  When Trump refused to validate the 2020 election results, he ignited a dangerous attack on our nation’s Capitol. We’ve already seen firsthand the impacts of spreading this kind of reckless misinformation that upends our democratic process. Refusing to accept verified election results is extraordinarily harmful, irresponsible, and intolerable behavior from any leader. In 2021, Trump told then-Vice President Mike Pence that, if he certified the results of the 2020 election, it would be “a political career killer." That’s why Vance is Trump’s running mate this election cycle—not Pence. We need to demand NOW that Vance uphold the Constitution and honor the will of the people. Election misinformation is unacceptable. Sign the petition to make it loud and clear that we can’t repeat these reactions to the 2020 results and that Republicans like Trump and Vance must commit to accepting the 2024 election results, no matter what.

With the looming threat of Project 2025—a dangerous blueprint spearheaded by the far right that could lead to even more extreme restrictions on reproductive rights across the country—there’s never been a more important time to prioritize digital security. Project 2025 seeks to drastically limit access to medication abortion, surveil people pursuing reproductive health care, and punish health care providers. In its vision, Big Tech companies could be weaponized to aid in the tracking and prosecution of those who seek or provide abortion care. These companies have a responsibility to protect their users’ data and ensure that their platforms remain safe for sharing accurate information about reproductive health. Sign the petition to tell Big Tech companies that they must protect user privacy and reproductive rights.

We have a jewel here in South Fulton. 0 Campbellton CIR is located right around the corner from what is soon to be Westwood on the Chattahoochee (https://www.westwooddevelopment.us/). It is already zoned for commercial use and has the potential to be a unique complement to Westwood's commercial offerings. We need more community and business-oriented spaces in this neck of the woods, and 0 Campbellton CIR is the perfect opportunity. However, the developers want to carve up the land to suit their own interests. This is understandable as their plans will net a minimum of 6+ million dollars a year in rent and the area is highly desirable. About 2/3 of the land will need to be rezoned. We are not against apartments as they are useful and necessary. Just not on this plot of land. Especially when it means a zoning change. Timeline of Recent Events: • July 22, 2024: A public participation community meeting was held, for which many of us received last minute notice. There was still a decent turnout of concerned citizens, many of whom have reservations about the new development and who expressed concerns. • August 21, 2024: Planning Commission Hearing where a deferral was issued to Sept 10th. • September 10, 2024: Planning Commission Hearing where a deferral was issued to Oct 8th. • October 8, 2024: As I usually get the agenda via a mailing list on the day of, I do not know if there will be another deferral. It's possible that they will put forth a request again on this day. This is also a call for a Community Pulse. Developers, just like any other business, need to make money. So instead of constantly swatting down rezoning efforts, we can be proactive and declare what we would love to see in our neighborhood. This way, City Council has a "snapshot in time" of what their neighbors want and are better equipped to make decisions. I'll go first. For 0 Campbellton Circle's 42.89 Commercial Acres I would love to see: • Coworking Spaces: similar to Atlanta Tech Village • Upscale Event Spaces and Conference Rooms • Local, non-disruptive "night out" places like Escape Rooms, and Painting • Affordable places to open a business • Local Fresh Markets or Greenhouses • Protected greenspace with safe walking trails • Community classes • Music Spots and Activity Spaces for Seniors to socialize • Dog Parks • Playgrounds • Etc. because I know you guys have even better ideas. There is so much potential with the proper planning and the right developers. I know places like these exist around our city, but they are scattered. Most often we have to venture into Douglasville or East Point. We need more closer to home. Neighbors, I'd love to hear what you think and what ideas you have for what those 42 acres could be. But first, we need to stop the land from being carved up and rezoned into apartment buildings. Please lend your voices below.

Workers deserve to be protected, not put in harm's way. No one should have to risk their life to earn a paycheck. This is about standing up for the rights and safety of workers everywhere and ensuring that companies like Impact Plastics are held accountable for their negligence. Sign this petition and join us in demanding justice for the victims and families affected by this tragedy, and calling for corporate accountability and safer workplaces for all. Together we can prevent another needless tragedy and ensure that worker safety is ALWAYS prioritized over profit.

MacBride Hall and by extension the University of Iowa is making a conscious choice to make the lives of their disabled students more difficult, and have made no effort to correct their discriminatory inaction. Help us put their feet to the fire, and spread the word. MacBride is the tip of the iceberg: many accessible entrances, bathrooms, elevators, and even evacuation plans demonstrate a clear lack of desire to truly accommodate disabled students. Our mission across our time here at Iowa is to hold the whole of the University accountable for their numerous violations of disabled rights.

It is important for the ninth graders to participate in my campaign, as it is unjust that we are excluded from the highschoolers' recreational activities despite being acknowledged as members of the school community. By rallying others to our cause, we can convey to the higher authorities that our desire for inclusion is not isolated but rather a collective sentiment. Together, we can effect change and secure our rightful participation in a broader array of activities at the highschool.

We are a peaceful state worried about our farms, land, and cattle. We have had an influx in recent years or radicalized people from other states who have taken over our politics and our society. This is not Idaho nor is it Idaho values. Tell our politicians we will not accept their behavior to our Native Peoples or our state as a whole. 

The reality is that the U.S. government is Netanyahu's largest supplier of weapons, and Congress has already passed legislation to send Israel $3.8 billion every year for the next five years. In the last year alone, Congress has voted to send more than $10 billion in American taxpayer dollars to the extremist Israeli government to buy more of the bombs and more of the weapons they are using to bomb and kill the Palestinian and Lebanese people. One in every 55 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023. You read that right: One in every 55 Palestinians have been killed in the last year. Entire multigenerational Palestinian families have been killed and erased from the registry. Entire lineages have been wiped out. And nearly half of Gaza's residents are under the age of 16, and 65% are under the age of 25, effectively meaning that Palestinian children are bearing the brunt of the Israeli government's collective punishment. It must end now. 50,000 pregnant women and people remain at great risk in Gaza too, with miscarriages, premature births, and stillbirths tripling. One mother, Hind S., almost gave birth to her baby under the rubble in the aftermath of an Israeli military airstrike before she was dug out and rushed to a hospital, where her baby was born with a broken leg from the airstrike. Babies, children, and families in Gaza are also starving to death.19 Nearly 2.1 million people are food insecure, with 96% of children from 6 months to 2 years old not meeting the minimal nutrition requirements. It's egregious. Netanyahu's military has completely violated international law and committed war crimes time and time again. And none of this would've been possible without United States weapons paid for by our very own U.S. taxpayer dollars. Enough is enough! Our members of Congress need to block the $20 billion offensive arms sale to the Israeli military NOW. Will you sign the petition?

It’s time to ban guns from every polling place in America. The voting booth should be a sanctuary of democracy. But every election year, we see reports of people openly carrying weapons as voters go to the polls – turning what should be a safe and welcoming experience into one of intimidation and fear. That's why Common Cause is taking bold action to protect voters. Just this year, we helped pass laws restricting guns at polls in New Mexico and Massachusetts – and with your action, we can bring this solution to every state in the nation. Our democracy works best when every voter feels safe and empowered. Voting is meant to be an act of hope—NOT fear—and with your help, we can make that a reality nationwide. If you agree, add your name to our petition today telling Congress: Every voter must be able to cast a ballot without fear or intimidation. Guns do NOT belong at polling places.

Without financial support, Tisha's ability to return to law school may be at risk, despite her strength and resilience in the face of immense hardship. This campaign is not just about helping one person but about advocating for fairness and ensuring that students in similar situations have a path forward.
