Ban the Bang! Emergency Ban on Fireworks in New MexicoEvery year, we brace ourselves for the fireworks season in New Mexico, a time that for many is filled with celebration and joy. However, for our community, it represents the shadow of potential tragedy. Our beautiful state, known for its arid landscapes and dry conditions, is particularly vulnerable to fires. Fireworks, no matter how small or seemingly harmless, pose an undeniable risk — sparking fires that can consume thousands of acres, destroy homes, and endanger lives. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), fireworks start an average of 19,500 fires annually. In a state like New Mexico, where drought conditions are prevalent, this risk is magnified even further. In recent years, we have experienced multiple incidents where unregulated fireworks have led to wildfires, resulting in significant loss and trauma for those affected. These fires not only ravage our land but also displace wildlife and strain our already limited emergency services. It is imperative that we act now to prevent further calamities. We call upon local authorities and state legislators to implement an immediate emergency ban on fireworks across New Mexico. This proactive measure is necessary to safeguard our communities during the high-risk fire season. Additionally, enforcing strict penalties for violations will serve as a deterrent against illegal fireworks usage. As residents who care deeply about our home and environment, we must prioritize safety and protection over tradition. Let's rally together and urge our policymakers to take swift and decisive action. Please sign this petition to demand an emergency ban on fireworks in New Mexico, protecting our communities, our wildlife, and our heritage from the threat of uncontrollable fires. There are other responsible ways people can have fun. There are too many risks involved that can't be justified in any reasonable community that claims they care about the people. Albuquerque Fire Rescue said that on July 1 there were 16 outside fires. Then the next 2 days there were about 24. Then the 3rd, 4th and 5th jumped up to 70 outside fires caused by fireworks. AFR responded to 877 fireworks calls on July 4, compared to 490 last year. This high volume of calls resulted in three separate fires throughout the city. One in the foothills on Menaul and Monte Largo, a brush fire in the Bosque at Tingley Beach at Alcade, and another at a house in Taylor Ranch on Arabian Drive. Firefighters confirmed the one in the foothills was fireworks-caused, as they found remnants around the scene. Fireworks started an estimated 34,079 fires in 2024, including 3,246 structure fires, 857 vehicle fires, 29,517 outside fires, and 459 unclassified fires. These fires caused an estimated 59 civilian injuries and $98 million in direct property damage. There were not reported civilian deaths. In 2024, U.S hospital emergency rooms treated an estimated 14,700 people for fireworks related injuries. Children younger than 15 years of age accounted for 32% of the estimated 2023 injuries. These injury estimates were obtained or derived from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s 2023 Fireworks Annual Report. On the state level, House Bill 155 was introduced co sponsored by three House lawmakers, Meredith Dixon (D-Albuquerque), Joy Garratt (D-Albuquerque), and Anthony Thornton (R-Bernalillo, Santa Fe, Sandoval, and Torrance counties), but it did not even get a committee hearing. This petition can help lawmakers make the responsible changes our communities need.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amanda Morales

Tell the Pennsylvania Senate: Pass HB 1257 for Disabled VeteransFellow Veterans: We Carried the Burden Then. We Shouldn't Carry It Alone Now. I am asking every disabled veteran in Pennsylvania, every military family, and every citizen who values service and sacrifice to stand together in support of House Bill 1257. Many of us raised our right hand and swore an oath knowing there could be a cost. We accepted deployments, missed birthdays and holidays, endured long separations from our families, and faced dangers most Americans will never experience. Some of us came home changed forever. We carry the scars of our service every day. Some are visible. Many are not. We live with chronic pain, damaged joints, hearing loss, traumatic injuries, and countless other service-connected disabilities. We attend appointments, take medications, and navigate a system that often requires us to repeatedly prove the sacrifices we have already made. Yet despite all of that, many disabled veterans in Pennsylvania are still told they do not qualify for property tax relief because they are not disabled enough, because they did not serve during a qualifying wartime period, or because they earn too much money to be considered worthy of assistance. Think about that. A veteran can be injured while serving this nation, receive a disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs, and still be denied relief because of technicalities that have nothing to do with sacrifice. House Bill 1257 seeks to change that. It recognizes that service-connected disabilities are real whether a veteran is rated 50%, 70%, 90%, or 100%. It recognizes that a veteran's sacrifice is not measured solely by whether they served during a particular conflict. It recognizes that disabled veterans should not have to prove financial hardship before receiving recognition for the injuries they sustained while serving their country. For many of us, our home is more than a piece of property. It is where we rebuilt our lives after military service. It is where we raise our children and welcome our grandchildren. It is where we continue to fight through the challenges that service left behind. No disabled veteran should have to worry about losing that home because the Commonwealth refuses to acknowledge the full extent of their sacrifice. This is not about politics. It is not about party affiliation. It is about keeping faith with those who kept faith with their country. The Pennsylvania House has already shown overwhelming bipartisan support for House Bill 1257. Now the Pennsylvania Senate must act. If you are a veteran, speak up. If you are the spouse, child, parent, sibling, or friend of a veteran, speak up. If you believe that those who served this nation deserve fair treatment and respect, speak up. Contact your State Senator and State Representative today. Tell them to support House Bill 1257. Tell them that disabled veterans have already carried enough weight. Tell them that the promises made to those who served should not expire when the uniform comes off. Our generation answered the call when America needed us. Today, Pennsylvania's disabled veterans need your voice. Please sign this petition and help us make sure that voice is heard. HB 1257 has been awaiting action in the Pennsylvania Senate since March 30. Without public pressure, it could quietly stall like so many other worthy bills. Sign this petition, share it with others, and if you live in Pennsylvania, contact your State Senator today. Disabled veterans answered the call when America needed them. Now they need us to answer theirs.30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ernest Greenford

Keep Religion Out of Texas Classrooms: Reject "Bluebonnet Learning"To the Texas State Board of Education and Local Texas School Board Trustees, As a constituent, taxpayer, and advocate for secular education, I am writing to formally voice my strict opposition to the implementation of the "Bluebonnet Learning" curriculum in Texas public schools. Public education must remain entirely grounded in reason, science, empirical evidence, and academic knowledge. Utilizing state-funded classrooms to teach sectarian Christian myths and biblical dogmas to K-8 students is a direct violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The government has no right to use public infrastructure or taxpayer dollars to promote supernatural beliefs or religious indoctrination directly, nor indirectly. Texas is home to a diverse and growing population of atheists, agnostics, and secular humanists. Our children have a constitutional right to an educational environment completely free from state-sponsored religious coercion. I demand that the State Board of Education reverse its approval of these materials and remove all religious texts from the K-8 curriculum. Furthermore, I urge local school board trustees to reject the state's financial incentives and formally vote against adopting this Bible-infused curriculum in our community's classrooms. Sincerely, David Wynn64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Wynn

Stop Trump’s Next MAGA justice!Donald Trump and his MAGA allies are using the Court to push their political agenda and control our lives. From granting Trump presidential immunity to allowing Republicans the ability to rig our elections, they are issuing decisions designed to tear down our rights, protect the powerful, and punish the vulnerable. This Court isn’t working for the people, it’s working for Donald Trump. Senate Democrats must stand united and stop Trump from packing the highest court with any more corrupt Republican operatives cosplaying as impartial judges in black robes.6 of 100 Signatures

Gov. Kelly: Please commute all Kansas death sentences!I am writing to urge you to please commute all nine Kansas death sentences before leaving office. I am particularly concerned about reports that these cases will not be given the time and consideration they deserve, and that any attempt to expedite the process would result in further injustice. These cases deserve your full consideration. This issue is of great importance to me. The death penalty in Kansas is deeply dysfunctional and has been administered in an unjust manner that has drained vast public resources without improving public safety. There has not been an execution in Kansas in more than 60 years, but the state continues to spend millions on this flawed system. Commuting all death sentences will address the system’s deep flaws while allowing scarce taxpayer resources to be redirected to more effective public safety programs, including mental health programs, community violence prevention services, education and job training, crime labs, and services for victims of crime. Commuting death sentences also sends a powerful message to Kansans: that it is time to consider repealing the death penalty. Please give these cases the attention they deserve and do not rush through this process. Your leadership on this issue could be a beacon to others across the country. Thank you for considering this important issue.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stefanie Faucher

Tell Congress: Hold Pesticide Companies Accountable!The Supreme Court has ruled against public health and in favor of the multi-billion dollar pesticide company Monsanto, claiming the company does not need to use a warning label about a potential cancer risk associated with one of its signature products, a weedkiller called Roundup. A breakthrough study published last year shockingly showed a link between glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup, and cancer. But the Supreme Court is siding with Big Chemical, not the health of the American people. There's a bipartisan bill introduced to Congress that would strip companies like Monsanto of their unfair liability protection, finally giving Americans the right to hold pesticide manufacturers accountable under state law when they fail to warn consumers about risks like links to cancer. Our government works for us—not Big Chemical. Add your name NOW demanding Congress pass legislation to hold pesticide companies accountable!2,207 of 3,000 Signatures

Protect the people, not tech billionaires!Protect the people, not tech billionaires! In the face of zero to no federal oversight or regulation of artificial intelligence, dozens of states across the country have enacted people-first safeguards that protect kids, workers, and families from AI risks. But all of those laws are at risk of being stripped away if Big Tech gets their way. Some members of Congress in cahoots with Big Tech are preparing to introduce the Great American AI Act, a bill that would allow federal law to override — or “preempt” — state-level AI regulations. This bill would block states from regulating the development of artificial intelligence for at least three years. It’s clear who this would benefit, and it’s not us. We're calling on members of Congress, including bill sponsor Rep. Lori Trahan, to stand with the people, not tech billionaires, and oppose the Great American AI Act.6,725 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Americans For Responsible Innovation

Protect the ArboretumPETITION: Protect the Arnold Arboretum with an Ironclad Shadow Law The Goal We, the undersigned residents of Boston and supporters of public green spaces, call upon Mayor Michelle Wu, District 6 City Councilor Ben Webe, and the Boston City Council to introduce and pass a City of Boston ordinance protecting trees in the Arnold Arboretum and a Home Rule Petition establishing a permanent, state-level Shadow Law for the Arnold Arboretum. We further call upon State Representative Samantha Montaño and State Senator Liz Miranda to champion and pass this legislation at the Massachusetts State House. Why This Matters The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is a world-renowned scientific institution, a historic urban sanctuary designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, and a critical anchor of Boston’s urban tree canopy. It belongs to all residents of Boston as a vital public resource for health, climate resiliency, and environmental equity. However, the Arboretum is under direct threat from encroaching, high-density private developments on its perimeter. • Zoning Fails to Protect It: Current local zoning rules and the Greenbelt Overlay District are routinely bypassed. Developers frequently secure variances and exceptions from the Zoning Board of Appeal, allowing them to build mid-rise structures right against the park boundary. • Shadows Threaten the Ecosystem: Unlike a standard park, the Arboretum houses an irreplaceable living collection of rare trees and plants. New, permanent shadows cast by oversized private buildings starve these trees of daylight, threatening their survival and degrading the public park experience. • Precedent Exists: Boston has already proven that precious public parks require state-level legal shields. For over 35 years, the Boston Common and Public Garden Shadow Laws have successfully protected downtown parkland from being plunged into darkness by private skyscrapers. The historic Arnold Arboretum deserves that exact same permanent, ironclad standard of safety. We can balance smart urban density with conservation—but we must draw the line at starving our public trees of the sunlight they need to survive. Our Demands to Boston and Massachusetts Leadership: 1. City Legislation and a Home Rule Petition: We request that the Boston City Council and Mayor Michelle Wu formally petition the state legislature to enact an explicit shadow-restriction zone around the Arnold Arboretum. 2. State Legislation: Aligned with the City of Boston Home Rule Petition and existing legislation protecting the Boston Common and Public Garden. 3. Implement Structural Protections: Any proposed building within a designated buffer zone must prove via verifiable 3D shadow modeling that it will not cast new shadows on the Arboretum's historic collections. 4. Prioritize Community Over Variances: Stop the piecemeal erosion of our park boundaries via zoning variances. Give the Arboretum a permanent legislative shield. Sign the Petition Today to Keep the Canopy Alive!119 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Advocates Arnold Arboretum

Fund the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum NOW!Republicans in Congress are refusing to fund the first ever national museum dedicated to women’s history. The museum has bipartisan approval in 2020, but Congress refused funding this year due to the museum’s inclusion of trans women. Trump has also demanded unregulated control and oversight over the museum’s location and content—causing grave concerns about government censorship. It is critical that Americans have access to education and history about how women from diverse backgrounds have shaped this country. The Trump administration is weaponizing their hateful agenda in order to strip the museum’s funding and derail the entire project. Republicans in Congress must stop playing political games and fund the original proposal for the Smithsonian Women’s History Museum, free from government control and censorship!594 of 600 Signatures
