Nearly 12% of the population of San Antonio are immigrants. They are our friends, family members, coworkers, and neighbors. And we need to defend them against Trump’s brute and unlawful deportation agenda.  The details of the proposed San Antonio detention site are still unclear. ICE confirmed they purchased land and a facility but have not given details beyond that. What we do know is that the deed for a 640,000-square-foot industrial warehouse with a 1,500-bed capacity has been transferred to the federal government.  Local elected officials claim to be equally in the dark about the plans, with a city spokesperson claiming they have not received any assessments for the site, and that the city was not informed of any federal estate transactions.  Local leaders have already sounded the alarm on ICE and DHS’s rapid power grab. Bexar County Commissioner Tommy Calvert has been outspoken against the project, and the San Antonio City Council approved a resolution in February to identify what the city can do to push back against ICE.  We need to keep up public pressure to make it clear that we expect them to keep using every lever in their power to interfere, delay, and block the development of a detention camp in San Antonio, and that we demand transparency and accountability for any civil or human rights violations by ICE and DHS. We cannot allow ICE and the Trump administration to keep expanding their inhumane deportations. Sign the petition to say NO warehouses for detention centers in San Antonio. 

The federal government is spending $313 million to convert a warehouse in Surprise, Arizona, into a mega ICE detention facility. The 400,000-square-foot building is set to be among the larger ICE facilities, detaining up to 1,500 people. Warehouses are for packages, not people, and every single person in our state must speak out against this dehumanizing construction.  GardaWorld Federal is the company contracted to oversee the conversion—the same company running the disastrous detention camp in the Everglades, “Alligator Alcatraz.” The Everglades detention camp is a dangerous facility where immigrants have gone missing, and experts have sounded the alarm on everything from deadly diseases, hazardous flooding, and human rights abuses.  We can’t allow GardaWorld Federal and DHS to replicate the inhumane and immoral camp in our own backyard. We need local elected officials to use every lever in their power to interfere, delay, and block the development of a detention camp in Surprise, Arizona. 

Behind every person held in custody is a family, a community, and a life that still matters. Many people in Nevada’s prisons and jails face serious health risks and systemic neglect. Their humanity, and the humanity of those who have passed away inside, must be recognized not only in policy outcomes but also in the language our state uses to describe them. Changing language alone will not solve the problems within our criminal legal system. But it is a meaningful and necessary step toward acknowledging the humanity of people in custody and building a system grounded in dignity and accountability. We therefore call on the State of Nevada to: 1. Amend state statutes, regulations, and official documents to replace “inmate,” “offender,” and similar labels with “person in custody.”  2. Direct the Nevada Department of Corrections and other agencies to adopt person-first language in policies, communications, and reporting.  3. Encourage courts, legislators, and public officials to use “person in custody” in official proceedings and publications. By adopting person-first language, Nevada can take a clear step toward recognizing the humanity of all people and setting a standard for dignity within its justice system.

This legislation in Kansas is just another example of how states, empowered by Trump’s federal rollbacks, are introducing policies that compromise our civil rights. And the people most impacted by these hostile environments are vulnerable communities like immigrants and LGBTQ+ folks. People are already challenging this unconstitutional legislation, with one attorney calling it a “state-sanctioned attack on transgender people aimed at silencing, dehumanizing, and alienating Kansans whose gender identity does not conform to the state legislature’s preferences.” The courts must strike down this legislation as unconstitutional—and set a precedent that no one be discriminated against for their gender identity. 

WCMC actively supports Alabama's abortion ban — with no exceptions for rape or incest. This ban carries penalties of up to 99 years in prison for providers and has created a documented crisis in all pregnancy-related care. Doctors across Alabama are delaying or denying standard miscarriage treatment for fear of prosecution, since miscarriage and abortion are often clinically indistinguishable. Alabama already has the third-highest maternal mortality rate in the nation. Nearly half of all pregnancy-related criminal prosecutions in the U.S. in the first year after Dobbs came from Alabama alone. WCMC is a Crisis Pregnancy Center (CPC). WCMC is not a neutral healthcare resource. It is a pro-life advocacy organization operating under the guise of medical care. Sponsoring their public events is not a charitable act — it is a medical ethics issue.     Women's Care Medical Center presents itself as a pregnancy resource clinic. What it actually operates as is what medical and public health professionals describe as a "crisis pregnancy center" (CPC) — a category of facility specifically designed to intercept people facing unplanned pregnancies and steer them away from abortion, and often away from contraception, using tactics that medical authorities have repeatedly condemned as deceptive and harmful.   The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) — the foremost authority governing the specialty practiced at your clinic — has formally identified CPCs as institutions that "use deception, delay tactics, and disinformation," undermining "the tenets of informed consent and patient autonomy." According to ACOG's data, 71% of CPCs use deceptive means. WCMC runs an abstinence-only program targeting Baldwin County students. Under the name "Optimal Truth of WCMC" (baldwincountysra.org), WCMC operates a federally-defined "Sexual Risk Avoidance" program — abstinence-only education rebranded — aimed at middle and high schoolers across all Baldwin County public schools. Part of the curriculum is to burn paper hearts in the classroom, telling students that they "will never be whole again" if they have sex before marriage and that contraception isn't safe. Alabama's own public health data shows this approach is failing: the state has the 5th-highest teen birth rate in the nation and ranks 7th in overall STD rates, 4th in gonorrhea. Federal investigations have found that over 80% of abstinence-only curricula contain false or misleading information about reproductive health. The downstream consequences walk into your exam rooms every day. We are not asking you to take a political position. We are asking you to uphold your medical ones. Sponsoring WCMC's March for Life is incompatible with the ethics of your specialty, the standards of ACOG, and the trust your patients have placed in you. Withdraw your sponsorship. Stand with your patients. Signed, the undersigned current patients of Fairhope Gynecology & Obstetrics Sources: American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG); AMA Journal of Ethics; National Library of Medicine / PMC; CDC; Alabama Department of Public Health; ACLU of Alabama; Yellowhammer Fund; Birmingham Free Press; World Population Review; Alabama Reflector; Pregnancy Justice; and WCMC's own public websites including womenscaremedicalcenter.org and baldwincountysra.org.

As the Lead Organizer for this initiative, I am submitting this document to formally request that the Williamsport City Council and the City of Williamsport Codes Department take immediate administrative, legal, and legislative action to facilitate the closure of this facility. While we acknowledge previous statements regarding the "short-term" nature of this site, the undersigned community members remain concerned about: • Community Stability: The impact of a federal enforcement hub on our local business district. • Mission Creep: The potential for this site to transition into long-term detention or a regional transit hub. • Resource Allocation: The need for total transparency regarding the use of local emergency services and personnel. Specifically, we are requesting that the Board: 1. Introduce a formal resolution opposing the facility’s continued operation. 2. Conduct a formal review of zoning and occupancy permits. 3. Cease all discretionary cooperation between County departments and this federal facility. 4. Confirm that no county-funded resources are being utilized for federal housing or busing operations. We request that this petition be entered into the public record and that a formal response be provided to the organizers regarding the actions the Williamsport City Council and the City of Williamsport Codes Department intends to take.

Others should join this campaign for change because creating an inclusive and accepting school environment benefits everyone—not just LGBT+ students or those who express themselves differently. When all students feel safe and respected, it leads to better mental health, increased academic achievement, and a stronger sense of community. Discrimination and exclusion harm the entire school culture by fostering fear, division, and missed opportunities for understanding. By standing up for fairness and dignity, supporters can help ensure that schools are places where every child has the opportunity to thrive without fear of bullying or judgment. This campaign is about affirming basic human rights and modeling kindness, empathy, and respect for future generations. Joining together amplifies our voices and demonstrates a united commitment to building a better, more equitable educational environment for all.

Recent documents released by the DOJ reveal eight people listed as co-conspirators: Les Wexner, billionaire and former CEO of Victoria’s Secret; Lesley Groff, Epstein’s longtime secretary; the late modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel; and Ghislaine Maxwell—who was convicted of sex trafficking charges and is serving a 20-year prison sentence. Four other names are still redacted. Epstein’s co-conspirators helped recruit and abuse victims for years while using their power and privilege to avoid consequences. Not charging them is an affront to survivors everywhere, and to everyone demanding the truth about who is complicit in Epstein’s abuse of young women and girls. These co-conspirators are blatantly complicit in Epstein’s crimes, and the DOJ must hold them accountable by bringing charges! Sign the petition.

This is important because Pleasant Valley Cemetery, founded in 1963 during the Civil Rights era, represents more than a burial ground  it represents dignity, resilience, and the right of Black families to honor their loved ones in a space created when segregation still limited access elsewhere. Driving a vehicle across graves is not just physical damage; it is emotional harm to families and a painful reminder of the long history of Black burial sites being neglected and disrespected. Cemeteries are sacred spaces, and when they are violated, it impacts entire communities. Protecting and restoring this cemetery is about accountability, preservation of history, and ensuring our ancestors are treated with the respect they deserve.

This petition matters because the “Tr*mpstein” Files Transparency Act was meant to finally shine a light on one of the most powerful criminal networks in modern history and to deliver real accountability for the victims of Jeffrey *pstein and his associates. When the Department of Justice withholds or alters records, especially those tied to serious allegations. It undermines the rule of law and weakens the public’s faith that justice applies to everyone, no matter how powerful they are. Congress promised transparency and bipartisan oversight, not selective disclosure or partisan spin. When lawmakers misrepresent what the law requires or ignore the DOJ’s failure to release key evidence, it betrays survivors who have already spent years fighting to be heard. Calling for a full and fair investigation isn’t about politics. It’s about restoring integrity to our institutions, protecting victims’ rights, and proving that no one is beyond accountability when truth and justice are on the line.

If you care about the safety of others, you see why this is a problem. ICE is nothing but trouble all over the country 

This petition is important because the Epstein Files Transparency Act was passed to shed light on one of the most powerful criminal networks in recent history and to ensure real accountability for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. When the Department of Justice appears to withhold or alter records—especially those involving serious allegations—it undermines both the rule of law and the public’s faith that justice applies equally to everyone, no matter how powerful.    Congress promised transparency and bipartisan oversight, not selective disclosure or partisan spin. If Members of Congress misrepresent what the law requires or look the other way when the DOJ withholds key evidence, that betrays the survivors who have already endured years of silence and dismissal.    Demanding a full and fair investigation isn’t about politics—it’s about restoring integrity to our institutions, protecting victims’ rights, and reaffirming that no one is above scrutiny when justice and truth are at stake.
