Ceasefires save lives, and we welcome any action that stops the violence. An Israel-Iran ceasefire is a positive step, but the situation remains fragile. We must remain vigilant and ready to push back on ANY attempts by this administration to drag us into a devastating, unnecessary war. What happens next will be crucial — and this is the moment to keep going and do what we do best: Demand the kind of diplomacy that is capable of building a lasting peace. The potential for the bombings to resume is high, and we can’t risk the chance that Trump orders or supports further military action. Congress must immediately convene to pass war powers resolutions that block Trump from further escalation and demand diplomacy. The good news? Two urgently needed war powers resolutions — including bipartisan legislation in the House — have already been introduced. With your help, we’ll build enough pressure to send a massive reminder to all DC decisionmakers: NO WAR.

In the words of former Board Chair Dr. Alvin Thornton, writing in 2021 op-ed: “Our community, its children, and the School System deserve a Board that governs collegially, professionally, ethically, transparently, and in a student-centered manner. Anything less is unacceptable and should not be tolerated.” “The politicization of the Board of Education is now on steroids and out of control with little discernible connection to the best interest of our children. It must end.” That warning has become reality. A rushed appointment, backroom coordination with an officer-elect, and exclusion of community voice call for urgent State intervention to restore integrity and protect the 133,000 students of Prince George’s County Public Schools. As such, we respectfully assert that the Board’s action is arbitrary, unreasonable, and contrary to law, and approval of the appointment under these circumstances would undermine public confidence in the State’s educational oversight framework. We humbly petition Dr. Carey M. Wright, State Superintendent of Schools: • Decline to approve the appointment of Dr. Joseph until the entire search process outlined in § 4-201.1 is completed in good faith and compliance with applicable regulations. • That the Board is barred from terminating the employment of any senior staff members during the interim period. • Provide oversight and guidance to the County Board to ensure that future selections are conducted with transparency, fairness, and legal integrity. • Initiate a formal investigation into the legality and procedural integrity of the Board of Education's recent decisions.

Americans overwhelmingly oppose the U.S. entering into war with Iran. The U.S. government should work to deescalate the crisis, prevent a full blown war, and not escalate tensions that put our national security at risk.  Instead of prioritizing our safety, he is bending the knee to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and jeopardizing American troops for yet another war that none of us want. Congress needs to act quickly, and use their full legislative authority to rein in Trump. Our Congressional lawmakers have a responsibility to their constituents and our country to hold Trump accountable and end his war mongering.  Add your name to the petition NOW! 

Trump Mobile is just the latest example of the Trump family's using the office of the president of the United States to sell products, from perfume to sneakers. Experts at leading organizations like Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics warn that without real insights into who is funding these many businesses—it’s impossible to know what entities might be trading political favors for investments.  And the lack of clarity doesn’t end there. The Trump Organization’s release says the smartphone will cost only $499 and be made in the United States, despite the fact that there is essentially no manufacturing system in the U.S. that could fully produce a smartphone at that cost. Eric Trump has since walked back this claim in interviewss, but The Trump Organization has yet to clarify for buyers that the phones are in fact not USA made.    Meanwhile, there are serious potential implications when it comes to surveillance and data privacy. The current policy would allow The Trump Organization to collect data from web searches, browsing, geolocation, and even text and email content.  Major companies like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon can refuse to work with The Trump Organization and prevent potential ethics violations on their watch. Tell them to reject Trump Mobile NOW.

AI technologies are advancing rapidly, often at the expense of artists whose copyrighted work is being used without permission or compensation to train these systems. This threatens the livelihoods of working creatives who are real humans with vision, skill and soul; their work scraped without consent and used to train AI models that now compete for jobs, visibility, and compensation. This affects us all, not just artists. We need to set laws now before artists lose ownership of their creative works. Whether you're an artist, an ally, or someone who values human-made work, this is the moment to stand up for creative authorship, copyright, and fair compensation. Join us in demanding transparency, accountability, and legal protections for our creative industries.

Trump’s reckless and illegal actions just put us on the brink of a major war with Iran, putting millions of people in immediate danger. Trump ordered multiple B-2 bombers to drop bombs on three nuclear sites in Iran: an under-mountain facility at Fordow, a larger enrichment plant at Natanz, and a third site near the ancient city of Isfahan. Iranian retaliation is horrifyingly likely and millions of people across an entire region are at incredible, urgent risk. This is nothing short of a national emergency. That’s why Congress must immediately convene to pass war powers resolutions that block Trump from further escalation and demand diplomacy. Today, we need to do what we do best: Turn up the pressure to stop a war.

Because Democracy is under direct threat!

This far-right hate group helped incite the deadly January 6th insurrection – and now, they’re suing to make YOU pay them $100 million for it. You read that right: Five leaders of the Proud Boys – who were convicted by a jury of their peers after trying to overthrow our democracy – are now claiming that they are the victims and are suing the Department of Justice (DOJ). They’re hoping that Trump – who called January 6th a “day of love” – and his loyalists will hand them millions of our tax dollars to spread more chaos, more violence, and more hate. We can’t let it happen. The DOJ should spend its budget to protect us — to stop violent, organized hate groups like the Proud Boys from terrorizing our communities. Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi: Fight back against this lawsuit. Don’t give the Proud Boys a single dime of taxpayer money.

Matthew Cardon was shot and killed by police in Peoria, Arizona, on June 5th, 2025. Despite repeated requests from his family and community, authorities have not released all available footage. There are conflicting statements, missing body cam footage, and unanswered questions that demand transparency. We call on local and state leaders to release all footage, open an independent investigation, and ensure this never happens again. Matthew was a son, brother, and friend.His family—and the public—deserve the truth.
