Our Children Need To Feel Supported By the Adults in Their Lives. And, for me, that means stepping up to run for office and winning in November.

"Moments like this compelled me to do more than just be an advocate.

To do more than volunteer in my daughter’s school.

I was compelled to be that change I wanted to see in our district." - Micheal Garza

"God Squad" Seeks to Override Protections for Vulnerable Species The Department of the Interior recently convened the Endangered Species Committee, aka the “God Squad,” for the first time in more than 30 years. During its meeting, the committee unanimously voted in favor of exempting all oil and gas activities in the Gulf from Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections under the guise of “national security”—a legally fraught justification that has never before been invoked and is not based in reality. This decision could doom imperiled species, such as the Rice’s whale, to extinction. Please contact your members of Congress, as well as key decision makers within the Trump administration, to express your opposition to this decision and tell them that condemning endangered species to extinction is not an option.

Tell Congress to Say No to Warrantless AI Mass Surveillance The War on Terror-era legislation that authorized decades of civil liberties-eroding mass surveillance is set to expire on April 19. Congress should let it die. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was passed in 2008 as a counterterrorism measure, but has a long history of abuse from the federal government, especially when it comes to surveillance. Congress has a choice to make: Will they greenlight warrantless mass surveillance, or hold the line and reject any effort to move forward without serious privacy guardrails? FISA as it is currently written: Allows warrantless backdoor surveillance of people in and out of the country Offers little to no protections against the administration targeting critics, activists, religious minorities, or communities of color Actively chills our freedoms of speech and association Two years ago, this reauthorization legislation sailed through Congress with bipartisan support. That can’t happen again. Let your Members of Congress know you expect them to reject reauthorization unless it includes significant reforms to protect our civil liberties against this authoritarian regime.

No Wrongful Execution for Tony Carruthers Tony Carruthers could be innocent – but without your intervention, Tennessee may execute him without considering the full evidence. Tony was convicted without physical evidence, based on testimony from informants, including one paid by the state who later recanted his statement. For decades, the state denied that this informant was paid, and actively prevented the jury from knowing the full truth. Tony was forced to represent himself in court despite extreme mental illness – resulting in a trial riddled with so many mistakes that his co-defendant was granted a new trial. If Tennessee executes Tony, he will be the first person in nearly a century to be executed after being forced to represent himself at trial. There are several fingerprints and DNA from the scene that don't match Tony, but they were never compared to a suspect identified by his co-defendant. Additional evidence has never been tested. These tests could prove Tony's innocence: This evidence MUST be considered before his scheduled execution on May 21. Join us in calling for fingerprint and DNA testing before Tony is put to death.

TN may execute Tony Carruthers on May 21 without considering evidence that could prove his innocence. Sign this to stop the execution + allow forensic testing! @uscedp.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/petitions/no...
