ICE agents must show their face and identification!Colorado Springs must take urgent steps to respond to the rise in masked law enforcement, ICE overreach, and the targeting of immigrants and political dissenters, including students and lawful residents. In a February 5th raid of four apartments in Denver and Aurora, ICE destroyed a tenant’s door, ripping the locks off the door handle, entered without a warrant, shot rubber bullets at tenants in their pursuit — terrorizing the entire neighborhood. ICE is striking fear in the community to justify mass arrests and using local police and the DEA to give cover to a federal deportation agenda. On March 17th, Jeanette Vizguerra—recognized by Time Magazine in 2017 as one of the world's 100 most influential people and known for having no criminal record—was working at a Target store in Denver. As she stepped outside for her first break, she was detained. Vizguerra's vocal advocacy for immigrant rights made her a target, and her experience underscores how those who speak out for justice can face intimidation and efforts to silence them. On June 27th, 32-year-old U.S. citizen, Andrea Velez, was confronted and forcibly taken by armed, masked individuals in Los Angeles. Her family, fearing a kidnapping, contacted the police—only to discover that the men involved were federal immigration agents. These secretive detentions erode public trust and silence dissent. Every person—citizen or not—deserves to know who is detaining them, and why. The rise of secret policing and disappearances is not just a federal issue; it’s a local emergency. Our city should be a place of safety, not surveillance and fear.173 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Deana Kamm

Demand Congress Pass the Every Child Safe ActThis isn’t radical. It’s the bare minimum. We can’t keep piecemealing child safety and pretending “parental rights” always mean protection. The U.S. claims to champion human rights abroad—yet here at home, we allow religion and ideology to silence abuse victims. “The United States is the only country in the UN that has not ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child—and likely never will, due to entrenched opposition around national sovereignty and so-called “parental rights.”” Far-right groups like Moms for Liberty are pushing for total parental control over education while ignoring the fact that children are being abused under their watch. Expanding “parental rights” without guardrails is not protection—it’s complicity. Think of Jonestown. Waco. Ruby Franke. The Turpins. The Duggars. Warren Jeffs. I was one of those kids. We must confront a hard truth: “Freedom of religion” has too often meant freedom to harm—and freedom from accountability. Court decisions like Wisconsin v. Yoder have left generations of children vulnerable by placing religious and parental rights above basic safety. While religious freedom is vital, it must have common-sense boundaries—especially when it comes to protecting children. It’s time to face this issue head-on and establish clear legal limits that put child safety first. Child safety must come first. Always. Kids deserve to know how to protect themselves. We can’t fight abuse if we keep it hidden. Sign now to demand Congress pass the Every Child Safe Act. Share this petition. Use #EveryChildSafeAct to break the silence and protect kids nationwide. We have the power to create a country where every child is protected, educated, and free from abuse. Let’s make that real.

Defend and Strengthen Our DemocracyBecause your voice matters, and so does every vote. This petition calls on Senator Padilla to keep fighting for critical legislation that protects our most fundamental right in a democracy: the right to vote. Across the country, politicians are making it harder for people — especially Black, Latino, Native, Asian American, and young voters — to cast a ballot. Extreme gerrymandering, voter roll purges, and needless barriers threaten to silence millions. Even when Congress is gridlocked, persistent public pressure makes a difference. Signing this petition helps show that Californians expect their elected officials to champion democracy consistently and boldly, not just when it’s politically convenient. Add your name to demand action and leadership. Democracy requires all of us.102 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Mariya Genzel

Tell Major League Baseball: Keep ICE Out of Your StadiumsImmigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has spent the last few months terrorizing communities across the country. Masked agents have kidnapped people in the streets, ICE has arrested government officials in New York and New Jersey, and even previously sensitive areas like schools and churches are no longer off limits to ICE raids. ICE’s next target? Sporting events. In June, ICE agents requested access to the parking lots at Dodger Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team. But the team denied ICE entry. The harsh reality is this isn’t just happening in Los Angeles under Trump’s mass deportation agenda. That’s why it's imperative that the 28 other MLB teams in the U.S. follow suit and publicly REJECT ICE from using their stadiums to abduct and detain immigrants. The only way that’ll happen is through a massive, sustained campaign of pressure coming from fans and activists like you, which is why we’re launching a petition to MLB team owners. Now, all you need to do is sign:57 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Win Without War

Fully fund vaccine programsMeasles, once declared eliminated in the U.S., is making a devastating comeback with a vengeance. In fact, the United States is experiencing one of the worst measles outbreaks in over three decades—with more than 1,200 cases already reported across the country this year. Yet Congress continues to underfund two of the most essential vaccination programs in the country: Vaccines for Children (VFC) and Section 317 of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA). These programs provide free vaccines for children whose families can’t afford them, fund immunization infrastructure across states, and help keep preventable diseases like measles, from spreading unchecked. The only way to stop this outbreak is to invest in vaccinations NOW! Sign the petition now!1,835 of 2,000 Signatures

The Restored Lineage CoalitionThis fight is bigger than a checkbox — it’s about correcting centuries of lies, theft, and legal erasure. For too long, the descendants of enslaved American Indians, Indigenous Europeans, Pacific Islanders, Asians, and Free People of Color have been lumped into a false racial category: “Black.” Their original nations, names, and legal rights were stripped away through paper genocide, Jim Crow laws, and colonial policies that erased entire peoples with the stroke of a pen. Now, even our history, culture, and identity are being claimed by others — particularly recent African immigrants and pan-African ideologues — who attempt to speak for us, replace us in our own narrative, and rewrite our legacy. By supporting the push to recognize “Reclassified Original American” as a distinct classification, you are: ✅ Standing up for the truth of history ✅ Supporting people fighting to restore stolen identities ✅ Aiding the movement for reparative justice and data accuracy ✅ Helping families reclaim their tribal, national, and genealogical records ✅ Pushing back against the system — and movements — that reclassify, rename, and erase our lineage ✅ Defending the culture, sovereignty, and heritage of reclassified Americans from being replaced or misrepresented This is a fight for every person who believes that identity should be honored, not overwritten or exploited. Join the campaign to restore what was taken. Join the campaign to make our people count — by name, by blood, and by right. This isn’t just about the past — It’s about protecting the future from being stolen again.1,203 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Amaru Book Club

NJ State Legislature must convene regularlyWe need our New Jersey state legislature to protect our state from the threats from the federal government on our most vulnerable residents and our democracy. Last week's budget cuts threaten food and housing security. Due to the astronomical increase in ICE funding, we anticipate that actions taken by DHS will increase to the level seen in California, including tanks and military being deployed to MacArthur Park. We have elected our legislators to fight for New Jersey and we need them to be able to react urgently to the unprecedented attacks on our state coming from D.C.521 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Laura Zurfluh

Hands Off Texas’s 18th Congressional District: Stop the GerrymanderTexas’s 18th Congressional District is a historic community with deep cultural roots, a proud tradition of civic engagement, and a diverse population whose voice deserves to be heard—not silenced. Slicing it apart to dilute its power is unfair, anti-democratic, and wrong.134 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Durrel Douglas

Sign the Letter: Demand the Closure of Guantánamo BayLuis Alberto Castillo Rivera, a 23-year-old from Venezuela, came to the U.S. through the CBP One appointment system, a way for asylum-seekers to enter the country. But when he arrived at the processing center, he was targeted for having tattoos, despite having no criminal record, and then deported to Guantánamo Bay. Torture, indefinite detention, and grave human rights abuses have defined the Guantánamo Bay Detention Center for more than two decades. Trump’s decision to revive the infamous detention facilities for migrant detention is cruel. It may even be illegal. And it is undoubtedly costly — with at least $21 million having already been spent by the Pentagon on deportation flights alone. It’s unacceptable, which is why Rep. Rashida Tlaib led 15 of her colleagues in the House of Representatives with a letter to the Trump administration demanding the immediate, permanent closure of Guantánamo — and today, we’re asking you to add your name to the letter. We’ve been vocal in the fight to close Guantánamo for years, so we need to amplify these calls to “Shut. It. Down.” and make our demands impossible to ignore in this critical moment.47 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Win Without War

Stop Trump and Palantir’s Mass Data Collection Power GrabWe need to talk about Palantir, Friend: the data-mining giant, co-founded by Republican mega-donor Peter Thiel. After winning a massive $30 million contract with ICE earlier this year, the firm is now helping supercharge Trump’s mass deportation agenda — the very architect of which, Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, owns up to $250,000 in Palantir stock, allowing him to profit while the company builds an Orwellian surveillance system to track people slated for deportation. The scary truth is, Palantir’s ties with the Trump administration go so much deeper. Our personal bank account numbers, medical claims, student debt amounts, and so much more could soon be accessible to the White House if Trump’s nightmare surveillance state succeeds. With the help of Palantir, Trump is reportedly amassing “untold surveillance power” through this invasion of privacy that could soon be weaponized to threaten, persecute, attack, and punish dissidents, political opponents, and people of all ilk. Trump hasn’t been forced to publicly disclose his grand plans for Palantir. But with enough pressure from Washington, that can change. We can do our part today by sending a message to Congress tens of thousands of people strong, demanding they throw roadblocks at Trump’s data collection power grab and protect our personal privacy.64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Win Without War

Demand the White House urgently deliver humanitarian aid to GazaA horrific report reveals that Israeli soldiers have been firing on crowds of hungry people at aid sites in Gaza, where one in five people face starvation. This investigation comes as opioid pills were reportedly found in flour bags distributed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation — a new and controversial U.S. government-backed aid program that’s been compared to Blackwater and drawn condemnation for its potential complicity in war crimes. The Trump administration called it a “bold” and “out-of-the-box” effort, but reports from the ground unveiled the grim reality: Scarcely stocked aid distribution sites, chaos, torn-down fences, gunfire, and now more than 500 people killed since it launched. It’s clear the U.S. government will continue to play a key role in whatever happens next — and exacerbating the hunger crisis in Gaza won’t help unite the remaining hostages taken by Hamas with their families, end the Israeli government’s war in Gaza, or find a pathway to a sustainable peace in Israel, Palestine, and beyond. If we want to save lives, we need to see more aid distributed rapidly and widely immediately. That’s why we’re rallying support for a resolution introduced by Rep. Pramila Jayapal calling for the immediate delivery of aid and pushing the U.S. government to ease the hunger crisis in Gaza.42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Win Without War
