What people are acting on now
Immigration Detention Conditions
Federal legislation and oversight related to conditions in immigration detention, including health and safety standards, facility inspections, contractor accountability, family detention, legal access, and protections for vulnerable people in custody.
AI data centers and local power bills
Large AI data centers can bring jobs and computing capacity, but they also raise questions about electricity demand, water use, land use, tax incentives, and whether local households or businesses could carry any costs. This page tracks related bills and lets you tell officials what tradeoffs you want them to consider.
Who the 2030 Census should count
The Census Bureau proposed that the 2030 Census include U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents for political representation, while excluding undocumented immigrants and people under many temporary legal statuses, and add a citizenship question. Census results affect House seats and federal funding. Congress can set federal census rules.

Oil companies covering climate damage costs
Boulder, Colorado, and Boulder County sued ExxonMobil and Suncor to help pay for local costs they tie to climate change, including wildfire prevention and road repairs. The companies argue federal law blocks the case. The Supreme Court heard arguments Oct. 5 on whether the lawsuit can continue; that hearing did not decide who owes money. Congress could also set rules on whether oil companies help cover climate damage.
Microplastics
Tiny pieces of plastic now show up in drinking water, food, the air, and the human body. Scientists are still learning what they do to our health, and there's no standard federal test or limit for them. Congress can fund research and testing, set rules on plastic pollution, and decide how microplastics in water, food, and products are regulated.
