Last week, the Supreme Court announced it would decide whether the Trump administration can add a question about citizenship status to the 2020 Census questionnaire -- which will be sent to every household in the nation next year. The Court’s decision could have serious, lasting consequences. Experts suggest that including such a question would discourage legitimate responses, especially from communities of color -- leading to an inaccurate count. Getting this count right is critical to making sure our government works for everyone. The Census shapes our nation’s democracy, public policy, and funding for an entire decade. It determines everything from congressional districts to local resource allocation -- like school funding, the number of fire houses in our neighborhoods, and highway and road repair budgets. It’s up to us to tell the Supreme Court loud and clear that We the People deserve a fair, unbiased Census in 2020. Let's show that Americans nationwide are ready to make sure that we all count. Add your name to protect the Census and keep a citizenship question off of the questionnaire.

Although he way overstayed his visa, he has proved to be a talented musician who is essential to the growing and evolving music industry. It offensive that the Trump Administration waited this long to deport him, and detain him. It was inhumane and just as unjust as the Trump Administration deporting and locking immigrants in a cage.

Despite the current challenges WIU faces, the students, parents, faculty, staff, alumnae, and supporters of WIU, located in the western Illinois region and throughout the state, know that WIU remains an excellent institution with committed students and devoted employees and faculty. We are proud of our institution and would like to see it retain its distinctive role as strong regional comprehensive university.

The hiring is despicable & teaches our youth that there are no ramifications for telling lies " to the world " only rewards.

Homophobic and bigoted rhetoric has no place in Massachusetts and elected officials should represent constituents not ridicule them. Barnstable County Commissioner Ron Beaty has perpetuated bigoted views against the LGBTQIA+ community and he should step down from public office.

With the support of the names enclosed, we hope to encourage the transformation of the District of Columbia from a territory, to the fifty-first state.

John Wayne believed in white supremacy and justified seizure of land from Native Americans. He should not be honored with the name of a California Airport.

I'm an educator and most people are not aware that juvenile sex offenders are allowed to attend school and there's usually nothing the school can do. It is not fair to victims or their families to face this injustice on a daily basis. Washington state has a model policy that enforces this law and I feel that Ohio should join this effort.

Poor ventilation within the Stanford Clinical Lab has lead to the accumulation of chemical fumes and dust causing difficulty breathing, and for some, to even feel sick. - Provide a healthier work environment for lab personnel. - Healthier employees can lead to better productivity. - Better productivity for improved patient care.

I am a public school teacher at Monte del Charter School in Santa Fe. The New Mexico legislature is currently considering a new school funding bill, SB1. In its present form, this bill would severely inhibit small schools such as Monte del Sol’s ability to function. Monte del Sol Charter School receives a budget adjustment due to its smaller size, but SB1 would take that away and reduce our budget by at least $350,000. This would be a devastating blow for small schools across the state and would adversely impact thousands of students and teachers.

The Trump administration has put the lives of over 325,000 people who have been living, working and studying legally in the U.S. for years, some for decades, under TPS (Temporary Protected Status) at risk of deportation by terminating their legal status. This means that long-time, valued members of our community could lose their jobs, homes, be kicked out of classrooms and separated from their loved ones. But Congress can stop that from happening. Minnesota alone is home to thousands of TPS holders from 13 countries, including El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Syria and Nepal. Deporting people from designated TPS countries would negatively negative impact the United States economy. More than 80% of the approximately 325,000 immigrants are tax payers working in crucial industries for the U.S. The U.S Bureau of the Census estimates that 1 in 5 TPS holders have a citizen child and the top occupations TPS holders hold are nursing, psychiatric and home health aides and also 70% of those under 25 are in school which contributes significantly to our society. The United States could see a reduction in its GDP, ‘banks would see defaults in mortgages” and foster care would see a cost increase due to thousands of orphans left behind by the immigrants. It’s a lose-lose-lose scenario. Tell your member of Congress that TPS must be extended until a permanent solution is in place.
