✊🏽 WHY THIS MATTERS If someone can be sentenced to life plus 25yrs for a case with: • Dismissed charges and refiled with a reused probable cause affidavit that was not only from another county but had been dismissed and reused with no new evidence.  • Juror only understood 20% of English • No actual insurance fraud, No claim number for a claim and No Money received!! • Injustice in This Case Undermines the Law Itself If “Stand Your Ground” does not apply to Prentice Ponds — a man protecting himself in his own home — who does it apply to? • Allowed a judge to sentence him despite a conflict of interest — she and the freelance investigator worked under the same umbrella company. • The same judge that refused to accept pictures of the man with the items Prentice was accused of stealing. This isn’t just about one man. This is about whether Oklahoma law protects all of its citizens — or only some. Wrongful convictions steal lives, erode trust in the legal system, and perpetuate cycles of injustice—particularly in Black communities. Prentice Ponds’ case is a glaring example of what happens when bias, misconduct, and indifference are allowed to override truth. If Oklahoma wants to claim a fair justice system, it must admit its errors, clear Prentice Ponds’ name, and free him with honor—not pity. We demand justice, truth, and accountability. Free Prentice Ponds. Exonerate him now. None of us are safe!! Prentice’s story is not about loopholes — it’s about abuse of power and erasure of truth. His past does not justify his future being stolen. We will not wait decades for the courts to “maybe” get it right. Freedom must come now. 

Why this is important: Every second counts in an overdose crisis. People using test strips are often in high-stress, low-light, or chaotic environments — shelters, bathrooms, street corners, or nightclubs. A split-second misread can mean the difference between life and death. We are losing tens of thousands of lives every year to fentanyl — not because tests don’t work, but because results aren’t clear. This isn’t a chemistry problem. It’s a communication problem — and one we can solve today. A simple shift in visual logic can save lives immediately — without costly materials, or new manufacturing

The 16 appointed experts who serve on USPSTF aren’t political insiders. They are nationally renowned for their work in "prevention, evidenced-based medicine, and preventative care.” An independent USPSTF is essential to protect public health, preserve scientific integrity, and ensure all Americans can access the preventative care they need to live longer, healthier lives. It is critical that we create as much public opposition and outrage as possible to pressure RFK Jr. to not go through with this likely decision. Sign the petition to demand that HHS Secretary RFK Jr. keep USPSTF unbiased and independent.

Arizona was already facing a hunger crisis before the passage of the Big, Ugly Bill. Food banks across the state serve nearly 1 million residents—including children and seniors—who rely on SNAP to put meals on the table. Now, this bill will take away food assistance from hundreds of thousands of people and will cut Medicaid and health care coverage for more than 300,000 Arizonans—especially in rural areas, where hospitals may close and care disappear. Arizona deserves better, and we will not let you get away with taking away our essential programs. AZ says fight for our families! 

Most people don’t think twice about calling their parents or children. But many families with incarcerated loved ones do because staying in touch is prohibitively expensive. Correctional telecom corporations—abetted by prisons, jails, and detention centers—charge families egregious rates to connect with their loved ones. As a result, one in three families with an incarcerated loved one goes into debt trying to stay connected, and 87% of those carrying this burden are women, predominantly women of color. Congress passed the Martha Wright Reed Act to right this wrong, mandating that the FCC issue regulations within 18 to 24 months to provide relief for families. In response, the FCC released a monumental 430-page order with robust new regulations. The proposed regulations passed unanimously and are estimated to save families impacted by incarceration over $500 million a year in communication costs once fully implemented.  But suddenly, in a move that reprioritizes special interests and ignores the law and will of Congress, the FCC delayed the implementation of the rules until April 2027, and with it, denied relief to millions of families. Families cannot wait any longer. The FCC must stop the delay and connect families now!  Sign the petition to hold the FCC accountable to following the law and putting people before profits!

The Israeli and U.S. government-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has effectively weaponized the delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza, where the UN reports one-third of the two million-person population has gone multiple days in a row without food, and a quarter of the people are experiencing famine-like conditions. If you think you’re powerless to do anything about it, think again. OUR taxpayer dollars help pay for the GHF, its militarized security forces, and its deadly food distribution sites — and as calls grow to stop funding the GHF, you have a critical role to play. The dam is breaking. A record number of Senators just voted to block arms sales to the Israeli government. It’s crucially needed leadership and momentum that gives us a unique opportunity to go further to save lives today. Can you help us bring the same energy we brought to yesterday’s vote to demanding that Congress defund the GHF and help restore a UN-led humanitarian response in Gaza?

Why should others join us in this call for change? Because we all deserve to be heard. We are concerned citizens of Missouri’s 8th District—workers, parents, students, veterans, farmers, and neighbors—who are tired of being ignored by the very people elected to represent us. Congressman Jason Smith has a duty to be accessible and transparent, but he continues to avoid open public town halls. This isn’t about party politics—it’s about accountability. When elected officials refuse to face their constituents, democracy breaks down. We’re standing up together to demand better. To demand answers. To demand a government that listens and responds. And we know that the more of us who speak out, the harder we are to ignore. Join us. Raise your voice. Because real change only happens when we stand together.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy has the sole authority to mobilize the full force of the federal government to get this outbreak under control, but he has yet to declare measles a public health emergency. But declaring a public health emergency would unlock critical resources, allow the CDC to expand its support to affected states, and send a clear message that the federal government is finally taking this crisis seriously. And while public health officials and pediatricians are calling for urgent federal action to contain the outbreak, especially in states where undervaccinated communities are at highest risk, RFK Jr. is not moving with urgency. That is why it’s crucial that we cut through the noise of misinformation and come together to put pressure on the federal government to do everything in their power to stop this epidemic from putting more children in danger.

              This Petition Is Not Against Art—It's for Justice: We believe in the importance of telling Black stories. However, justice requires that when profit is made from the historical and contemporary pain of a people, that people must also materially benefit. It is time to turn cultural awareness into structural action. Sign this petition if you believe that companies profiting off of Black American struggles should contribute directly to the communities whose lives, history, and culture they portray.

Delta has announced plans to use AI to price airline tickets for up to 20% of its domestic flights by the end of the year. This isn't about efficiency or fairness—it’s about maximizing profits by squeezing travelers for every dollar possible. Airlines have long used dynamic pricing based on demand, but this new approach poses serious concerns about personal data and privacy. AI pricing algorithms are designed to analyze your online behavior, travel history, and purchases to predict the highest price a customer is likely to pay. That means even less transparency about what tickets actually cost and skyrocketing fares for everyday people. This kind of price gouging could redefine how massive corporations use AI to extract more money from us. We've already seen AI used to raise rent prices and hike grocery bills—now it’s coming for our plane tickets. Delta's plan must be stopped before it spreads. Sign the petition to demand an end to AI-powered airfare pricing now.

 Mid-decade redistricting in Texas is an undemocratic power grab that bypasses the standard 10-year process meant to reflect population changes. It opens the door to extreme gerrymandering, silencing the voices of communities—especially communities of color, rural communities, communities vulnerable to major storms, the working class—and disrupting fair representation. Texans must speak up to protect their right to choose their representatives, not representatives hand picking their voters, and hold lawmakers accountable to real community needs, not political gain. 

Masked agents are inflicting terror on immigrant communities across the country, detaining people without warrants, raiding workplaces, and separating parents in front of their children. Under Trump, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) resembles a secret police force, often operating behind masks, in unmarked vehicles, and in plainclothes. What we are witnessing isn’t merely an immigration enforcement scandal, it’s a full-scale assault on our values. Three bills in Congress seek to change that. The VISIBLE Act (S.2212), the No Anonymity in Immigration Enforcement Act (H.R.4004), and the No Secret Police Act (H.R.4176) would require immigration enforcement officers to clearly display identification and prohibit the use of face coverings during operations. Unidentifiable agents abducting people from our streets is simply unacceptable. But we’re not powerless in the face of Trump’s mass deportation agenda. A key step toward accountability and shutting down these authoritarian tactics is unmasking ICE. That’s why we’re rallying support for these three crucial bills today, and we’re counting on you to speak out:
