Fire RFK Jr. NOW!RFK Jr. was never fit to be Department of Health and Human Services secretary—and his failed leadership since his confirmation has put lives in danger. From destabilizing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to spreading harmful misinformation to undermining our access to vital vaccines, Secretary Kennedy has betrayed his position and the American people. Secretary Kennedy must be fired or impeached from office before he can cause further damage!883 of 1,000 Signatures

A Call for the Relocation of the African Union Headquarters.The African Union (AU) was created as the embodiment of Pan-African unity, solidarity, and self-determination. It was intended to be a beacon of cooperation, peace, and progress for a continent with extraordinary diversity and potential. Yet today, the very location of its headquarters undermines these ideals. 1. Ethiopia’s Instability Threatens the AU’s Credibility Over the past decade, Ethiopia has been the epicenter of violent internal conflicts and humanitarian crises that have reverberated across the Horn of Africa. The Tigray conflict (2020–2022), which claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced millions, was marked by war crimes and atrocities documented by the UN and human rights organizations. Ongoing ethnic violence in Oromia, Amhara, and other regions has left Ethiopia in a near-permanent state of emergency. Housing the AU in a country repeatedly engulfed in civil strife raises an unavoidable question: How can the AU credibly promote peace and stability while its own host state struggles to provide these basic conditions? 2. A Colonial Legacy at Odds with Pan-African Principles Ethiopia is often celebrated for its resistance to European colonization, but its own imperial history mirrors colonial domination. Under Emperor Menelik II and later Haile Selassie, Ethiopia expanded through conquest and annexation—subjugating and forcibly assimilating neighboring peoples and territories. The annexation of Eritrea in 1962, recognized as a violation of international law, sparked a 30-year war for independence. For many Africans, Ethiopia’s imperial posture contradicts the AU’s foundational principle of “respect for borders and peoples as inherited at independence.” Abiy’s statements about Red Sea access and talk that reads as “reclaiming Assab” are not harmless nationalist posturing. In the Horn of Africa — where historical grievances, recent wars, and fragile state institutions intersect — such rhetoric is dangerous: it risks military escalation, humanitarian disaster, economic disruption, and the further weakening of African multilateral norms designed to prevent exactly this scenario. Given the documented history of Ethiopian expansionism under multiple regimes, the depth of Eritrean sensitivity, and the AU’s explicit rules, the responsible path is quiet diplomacy, legal negotiation, and creative commercial solutions — not threats. • Even if no one in Addis Ababa has formally announced a cross-border invasion plan, rhetoric that frames a neighbour’s territory as something “to be corrected” or “reclaimed” lowers the threshold for coercive action: it normalizes options that include unilateral seizure, pressure campaigns, proxy forces, or mobilization — all of which are destabilizing in a region that still carries unresolved injustices from past wars. Journalists and analysts have warned that tensions are rising to the point where a clash — not just diplomatic spat — is plausible. Continuing to house the AU in Addis Ababa inadvertently validates a state whose historical actions toward its neighbors reflect the very colonialism the AU was meant to reject. 3. Antagonistic Diplomacy and Regional Discord Ethiopia’s recent disputes with Sudan (Al-Fashaga border conflict), Egypt and Sudan (Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam), and its adversarial rhetoric toward Eritrea and Somalia illustrate a pattern of hostility rather than cooperation. The AU cannot thrive as a forum for dialogue and trust when its host nation actively fuels regional tensions. 4. Practical Risks for Diplomacy and Security The AU headquarters has been subject to security concerns, including revelations in 2018 that the building’s servers were compromised by foreign actors. Addis Ababa’s volatile political climate and recurring protests pose logistical and safety risks for African diplomats and staff. A neutral, politically stable host city—such as Kigali, Accra, Gaborone, or Pretoria—would better protect AU operations and ensure its independence from local upheavals.67 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tarikh Gerensie

Fox News Must Fire Brian Kilmeade NowOn September 10th, 2025, Co-Host of Fox and Friends Brian Kilmeade called for the killing of the unhoused by “involuntary lethal injection”. Here is the full transcript: LAWRENCE JONES (FOX HOST): We don't have to — we feel so compassionate because you see the mental health crisis happening. AINSLEY EARHARDT (FOX HOST): You just get — exactly. JONES But it's not our job — we shouldn't have to live in fear while they figure out what is going on right there. EARHARDT: Right, right. JONES: Put him in a mental institution, put him in a jail, and you guys figure it out. But people having to duck and dive on the trains and the buses, walking through the street, this is one case, but this is happening all across the country, and it's not a money issue. They have given billions of dollars to mental health and the homeless population. A lot of them don't want to take the programs, a lot of them don't want to get the help that is necessary. You can't give them a choice. Either you take the resources that we're going to give you and — or you decide that you are going to be locked up in jail. That's the way it has to be now. BRIAN KILMEADE (FOX HOST): Or involuntary lethal injection. JONES: Yeah. KILMEADE : Or something. Just kill them. EARHARDT: Yeah, Brian, why did it have to get to this point? This hateful and dangerous suggestion is inexcusable. Kilmeade must be fired immediately. Please do the right thing and terminate his employment with Fox.2,375 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Mark Langham

Create a Pathway to Citizenship for DACA Recipients and Enact Immigration AmnestyToday, I ask for you to encourage our administration to take bold and humane action to create a clear and achievable pathway to citizenship for DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients, commonly known as Dreamers. These young people, brought to this country as children, have grown up here, gone to school here, worked here, and, in every meaningful way, are Americans. However, their futures remain uncertain due to the lack of permanent legal status. Many live in constant fear of deportation and are unable to fully contribute to the country they call home. I urge you to advocate for and implement a permanent legislative solution that grants Dreamers a path to citizenship—not just protection from removal, but full participation in the civic life of our nation. Additionally, I respectfully request that your administration resume the processing of new DACA applications. Thousands of eligible young people have been left in limbo, unable to apply for protection due to administrative or legal roadblocks. Restoring this essential program will allow more individuals to come out of the shadows and contribute openly to society. Finally, I appeal to your sense of history and justice to consider granting a broader amnesty for undocumented immigrants, similar to what President Ronald Reagan enacted in 1986. That bipartisan effort gave nearly three million people the opportunity to regularize their status, strengthening families, communities, and the economy. Today, we need a similarly courageous and humane policy that recognizes the dignity and contributions of the millions of undocumented immigrants who call America home. This is not just a political issue—it is a moral one. Dreamers and other undocumented individuals are nurses, teachers, entrepreneurs, and service members. They deserve a chance to live without fear and to pursue the American Dream that has inspired generations. Thank you for your time, and for considering these urgent matters. I sincerely hope you will act to bring justice and stability to the lives of millions who are American in every way but on paper.37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Geraldine Rietdyk

In Support of the "Safeguarding Residents" BillImmigrants are a vital part of our community. They work as home health aides, hospitality workers, cashiers, educators, and everything in between. The term immigrant includes lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders), people with J-1 visas to work seasonal jobs, refugees who have fled from war, and immediate relatives of US citizens. Regardless of a person’s immigration status, they have come to our community to make a better life for themselves. They pay taxes on their income and purchases like any other resident of our village. In a time when the population of our village is declining (approximately 5,400 in 2010 to around 4,700 in 2025) we need workers to support the businesses residents rely on, as well as those businesses that support the increasing volume of tourists. With federal immigration enforcement increasing in our communities, all of our residents: immigrants and non-immigrants, documented and undocumented folks feel less safe. There are larger checkpoints and agents dressed in plain clothes. Members of our community and nearby communities have been taken into custody, including the nine workers from the Tupper Lake paper mill who had valid US work authorizations. ICE is not following due process for enforcing immigration laws. This is what is especially concerning to members of our community. School children are fearful that their friends and classmates are not going to show up to school; a family who had “Temporary Protected Status” was given notice to leave the country within 7 days; a college student is afraid to leave campus. Local businesses that perform vital services in our community are being forced to reduce operations due to workers’ fear of ICE, regardless of the employees’ immigration status. This fear of being discriminated against on the basis of perceived immigration status extends to residents reporting real crimes in our community. People are unlikely to report something illegal or dangerous that they are witnessing if they are afraid they will be arrested for their immigration status. This makes our community a less safe place for everyone. Giving the residents and visitors of Saranac Lake the reassurance that our police department will not discriminate on the basis of perceived immigration status and will not collaborate with ICE would be a weight off the shoulders of many. The Saranac Lake Police Department and Village Board have worked hard to build a positive relationship with the community, and this is being fractured by the refusal to give residents this simple reassurance. The Village Board has the power to pass a bill stating what the Saranac Lake Police Department “shall” or “shall not” do, and it feels intuitive to do this in a context that is already supported by the police department’s handbook. Please Pass the “Safeguarding our Residents and Financial Resources” bill. Sincerely, Residents of Saranac Lake153 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Sarah C

Protect Journalists in Gaza!We are deeply concerned about the ongoing killing of Palestinian journalists in Gaza by the Israeli military. At least 247 journalists have been killed in less than two years. This is not only a humanitarian catastrophe but a direct attempt to silence the last independent witnesses to war crimes and humanitarian suffering. I urge you to: • Demand the Israeli government immediately halt all attacks on journalists and respect international law • Call for an end to the ban on independent foreign press in Gaza to increase transparency • Press for urgent medical evacuation and humanitarian protection for the journalists still at risk in Gaza Protecting journalists protects our right to the truth and creates more opportunity for transparency in reporting. Please use every diplomatic, legal, and humanitarian tool to stop the killing, open Gaza to independent reporting, and defend press freedom.504 of 600 Signatures

Support Baltimore City Community College Faculty and Demand Educational Justice!We, the undersigned students, allies, and community members, stand in solidarity with the full-time faculty at Baltimore City Community College (BCCC) in their fight for fair treatment, professional respect, and educational justice. Since certifying their union in October, 2024, the full-time faculty at BCCC have continued to face unacceptable conditions: • Repeated delays in pay for overload and summer courses • Inaccurate or completely missing paychecks • Ongoing administrative negligence that has contributed to high faculty turnover • Over 50 unstaffed classes at the start of the semester, leaving students without instruction or support This situation is not only an injustice to faculty--it is a direct attack on students and their right to quality education. BCCC serves a community that deserves investment, dignity, and equity--not neglect. It is clear that the college administration has failed to prioritize the people who make this institution function. We demand: 1. Timely and accurate pay for all faculty, including overload and adjunct work 2. Transparent Communication and Accountability from BCCC administration 3. Hiring and Staffing Solutions to fill vacant courses and reduce student impact 4. Support for all faculty and respect for collective bargaining rights53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ryan Castle

Tell New Owner of Taylor Pork Roll: Workers at Taylor Provisions Deserve a Fair Contract Now!The classic New Jersey breakfast staple "Taylor Pork Roll" has been made by dedicated UFCW members at Taylor Provisions for more than 50 years. These workers have shared in the company’s success, allowing many long-term workers to support their families for decades. Their contract has been earned through hard work and dedication, building Taylor Pork Roll into the iconic, beloved New Jersey food. Historically, Taylor Provisions has always had a legacy of prioritizing its union workforce during contract negotiations. BUT NOW THAT LEGACY IS UNDER ATTACK! Taylor Provisions remains very profitable, but new owner Ana Cumbler is attempting to dismantle everything these workers have earned. As the new sole owner, she sees the Taylor Provisions' union contract as a cost that should be cut so she can extract more profits for herself! This despicable approach to contract negotiations completely undermines everything her late husband’s family established. Ana Cumbler: It’s time to get real. These workers have dedicated their working careers to YOUR business. Come to the bargaining table in good faith to negotiate an equitable contract that preserves what these hard workers have earned!377 of 400 SignaturesCreated by UFCW Local 152

Legal Community: Stop Enabling Fascism!We, the undersigned, are increasingly concerned with excessive violations of human rights being committed by the United States government. The immigration policies being implemented by the Trump administration that are inconsistent with the United States’ obligations under domestic and international human rights law, and the basic humane treatment that should be given to any fellow human beings. This includes rampant violations of the following: • Access to courts to ensure legal rights and remedies for violations; • Protection from unlawful or arbitrary arrest or detention; • Freedom from torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment; • Right to an impartial and public hearing when accused; • Right to seek asylum in foreign territory in accordance with national and international laws; • Protection from secret detention and enforced disappearance; • Protection from extradition to countries where there is a substantial risk of torture; and • Right to establish residence, move freely within one's country, and leave and return freely We cannot remain silent while we witness an exponential increase in innocent immigrants being abducted by masked ICE agents. They are being sent into detention centers across the country away from their families and held without bond are beyond the pale. We cannot remain silent while we see the shocking increase of enforced disappearances by ICE and CBP, with limited ability to find the person under arrest. We cannot remain silent while ICE opposes the release of immigrants for nearly every detention case regardless of whether the individual is not a risk to the community. We cannot remain silent while ICE arrests immigrants at benefits appointments (e.g. green cards and naturalization), serving as a deterrence for future immigrants to follow the law and forcing them to live in the shadows. We cannot remain silent while we see the increase of detention centers that only serve as a cost-benefit for the private prison industry and costs the taxpayers billions while commoditizing other humans. We cannot remain silent while the Trump administration shares white supremacist memes. We cannot remain silent while the U.S. government deports people to countries that they have no connections to and puts their lives at risk. We can no longer remain quiet as a collective of concerned voices in the legal community. We have seen human rights violation after human rights violation. Any semblance of prosecutorial discretion has been stripped away. Longstanding immigrants are being separated from their children. ICE is required to meet arrest quotas instead of targeting actual criminal elements we should be utilizing our resources on. In fact, according to recent data from ICE, 65% of people arrested by ICE had no criminal convictions. 93% had no violent convictions. All the while, our labor force is suffering, and businesses are stuck without critical workers. Deportation cases that began 15-20 years ago are being reinstated for no other reason than one word: cruelty. You are complicit in what we are seeing. You are enabling this administration to commit unspeakable acts that are antithetical to human dignity. We understand that many of you are in a difficult situation as you need to earn a living, pay off student loans and meet other financial obligations. We, the undersigned, believe that this does not excuse your support for these immoral acts. These outrageous and unnecessary deportations cannot happen without your role in the process. What is occurring is not consistent with international human rights principles. As lawyers and non-lawyers, alike, we have a duty to inform you of our concerns and ask that you consider speaking out against what is happening. We will support you if you decide to exit the government and stop supporting the violations of human rights. Alternatively, a collective outcry from your workforce and refusal to comply with this administration’s policies would be courageous and a commendable action. Thank you for considering our humble request and we hope that your actions will make a difference for our nation and human dignity.94 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maurice Goldman
