The 2025 FLUM Amendments are the most CATALYTIC, needed, important, public policy decisions that you may vote for that brands the City of New Orleans "EAST" as Open for Business!! New Orleans East is Open for Business!  In the 20th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans East can truly claim that it is addressing barriers to entry through Zoning Reform.

Clarksville is one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee, yet Tennova Healthcare-Clarksville—the only hospital in the area—is dangerously understaffed, overcrowded, and lacks critical trauma and stroke care. Patients face long wait times, inadequate treatment, and are often transferred to other cities for life-saving care. Even worse, many residents refuse emergency transport out of fear of poor conditions at Tennova. This is a public health crisis that puts our entire community at risk. We cannot afford to wait. By joining this campaign, you are helping demand urgent action from city and state leaders to improve healthcare services, hold Tennova accountable, and secure funding for a second hospital or expanded emergency care. Every voice counts—the more people who speak out, the harder it is for officials to ignore this crisis. Clarksville residents deserve safe, accessible, and timely medical care. Sign the petition today and help us fight for the healthcare our community needs!

The Stonewall Inn is where queer people fought back against police harassment in 1969, sparking the modern LGBTQ+ movement. At the forefront of the fight were trans activists like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, two brave trans women of color who became a symbol of resilience for the entire community. The trans and drag community have always been part of the LGBTQ+ community. For the federal government to try to erase trans people is nonsensical and unacceptable. We won’t let history be rewritten to deny the true legacy of Stonewall. Sign the petition now telling the National Park Service to STOP erasing queer history and reverse these changes on Stonewall’s website! 

The U.S. Postal Service is again under attack by Donald Trump and the world's biggest business con, Elon Musk. Trump’s plans to overhaul the post office and privatize it would be disastrous for people across the country—especially the 50 million residences in rural areas for which it will simply not be as profitable to ensure reliable, timely delivery. In fact, it could effectively end rural postal service, and dramatically raise costs for everyone else.  It’s not just the essentials that are on the line—medications, food, legal documents, and even voting ballots and reminders. The post office is also how we get messages from our loved ones—post cards, letters, and gifts that connect us to the important people in our lives. The ability to get the goods you need and stay in contact with the people you love should not depend on where you live or how much money you have. But in Trump's world, it would – and rural people would be the ones who would have their mail delivery stripped from them by Trump. For years, Donald Trump has wanted to bankrupt the Postal Service and allow private equity firms and global corporations to privatize the service, dismantle the agency, and allow billionaires to further profit off of the American people. The post office is a public good—and we are ready to defend it. Add your name to the petition now! 

Being presented under the guise of "election integrity" and anti-immigrant in nature, the SAVE Act would require everyone to provide proof of citizenship when registering or re-registering to vote by presenting a passport or birth certificate.  Nearly 21 million U.S. citizens of voting age do not have proof of citizenship readily available, only about half of American adults have a passport, and millions lack access to a paper copy of their birth certificate. Make no mistake: This is a bill intending to suppress our freedom to vote. The impact of this legislation would be felt broadly but would impose hurdles for low-income voters, the millions of people who have ever changed their last name, young people, rural communities, people living on tribal lands, and unhoused people, disproportionately impacting people of color.   In the last Congress, Democrats proposed legislation like the Freedom to Vote Act and John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act to ease the burden of voting and make it more accessible and safe. Now, Republicans are doing the exact opposite. We must BLOCK this blatant attempt to strip away our freedom to vote.  Those in power should be working to make voting easier—not putting more confusing systems in place. Sign the petition now to demand that Congress reject the SAVE Act!

This wave of book bans is part of a widespread attempt by Donald Trump and his administration to censor free speech, silence diverse storytellers, and literally rewrite history.  Book challenges and bans have been on the rise, and they will only accelerate under the Trump administration. Last year PEN America reported that more than 10,000 books were banned in public schools—disproporationately from Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and AAPI authors, as well as books on LGBTQ+ topics, equity, and history.  And while the recent wave of book bans are being driven by MAGA Republicans and extreme groups like Moms for Liberty in communities, cities and states across the country, our federal government banning books takes it to another level.  When the government dictates what Americans can and can't read, democracy is at risk and we should all be concerned. Add your name to fight back NOW!

Due to the increased number of school shootings all over our country children feel unsafe to seek further education ,as well as parents fearing for their children ranging from kindergartens to high schoolers. This domestic threat on my fellow classmates and I ,as well as so many children who attend schools everywhere violates the constitutional right to liberty and pursuit of happiness.  The right to education and safety are now teetering as nothing is done. Many children in the United States attending school have self harmed or attacked their schools because nothing was done to protect them from bullying and social outcasting, many students have harmed others for their right to exist, which can be linked to mistreatment at home, upbringing and lack of care from school officials.  It is important the elephant in the room must be addressed to insure a bright future for all students like me. 

Details are still emerging, but Trump and his allies are quickly working to revive Guantánamo’s shameful legacy with an unprecedented effort to imprison tens of thousands of people on the island. The New York Times reports that migrants are already being housed in the same prison that once held individuals accused of being members of Al Qaeda. The very idea that facilities synonymous with torture could be used to detain people fleeing incredible violence and political instability is abhorrent. The potential for trauma, corruption, and human rights violations is sky-high. This plan is more than cruel and likely illegal. It will also be extraordinarily expensive. Maintaining Guantánamo already costs hundreds of millions of dollars per year, and expanding it to imprison immigrants could cost taxpayers hundreds of millions more. Every lawmaker who claims to care about “fiscal responsibility” or “American values” should be outraged — that’s why, with your help, we’ll make enough noise to turn outrage into action. Right now, as Congress puts the final touches on a bill to keep the government open past March 14, we have a critical and urgent opportunity to push them to deny ANY money to pay for immigration detention at Guantánamo Bay.

Increased funding for mental health services in schools is crucial for several reasons. First, mental health issues among youth are on the rise, with many students facing anxiety, depression, and other challenges that can significantly impact their academic performance and overall well-being. A recent study revealed that a large percentage of educators (93%) report a high level of concern for student mental health needs, and 85% expressed the need for further training in mental health. By investing in mental health services, schools can provide early intervention and support, helping students navigate these challenges before they escalate. Second, mental health awareness in schools fosters a supportive environment where students feel safe to express their feelings and seek help. When schools prioritize mental health, it reduces stigma and encourages open conversations about mental well-being, leading to a healthier school culture. Lastly, increased funding allows for the hiring of qualified mental health professionals who can implement comprehensive programs tailored to the needs of students. This ensures that every student has access to the resources they need to thrive, ultimately leading to improved academic outcomes and healthier communities. For these reasons, we urge stakeholders to support increased funding for mental health services in schools, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed both academically and emotionally.

“This act is designed to depress the vote. And it would instantly disenfranchise 69 million married women who changed their last name. Their married names don’t match their birth certificate, so they would be unregistered until they took actions to prove their citizenship. Some challenges: tens of millions of American citizens don’t have access to the needed documents. What if, for example, you’re one of the 140 million Americans without a passport? Or if you lost your documents in an accident, and the government becomes very slow about providing you with your birth certificate or passport? The SAVE Act would either prevent you from voting or make it extremely difficult. That’s not all. The bill would also force states to conduct regular voter purges, which almost always result in legitimate citizens losing their right to vote. It would punish election workers with up to five years imprisonment for registering someone to vote without the right documents — even if they’re actually a citizen. Because you’d have to prove your citizenship in person with original documents, there would be no registration by mail or online. Switched party? Moved houses? Got married? Better get all your documentation in order and wait in line at a voter registration office, no matter how far that is, or no voting rights for you!” - Jessica Yellin News Not Noise
