Here are some of the most popular and time-sensitive petitions from Daily Kos, the largest online gathering space for progressives.
-
Sign the petition: Impeach Justice Clarence Thomas
Sign the petition: Impeach Justice Clarence Thomas TARGET: Congress
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has concealed decades of lavish trips paid for by a major GOP donor. This is likely illegal, and is yet another example of Thomas’ compromised behavior. He must be impeached immediately in order to maintain any impartiality in the highest court of the land.
-
Sign the petition: Revoke the NRA’s tax-exempt status!
Sign the petition: Revoke the NRA’s tax-exempt status!
The NRA has long been suspected of engaging in potentially illegal activities. A Senate investigation disclosed the NRA's collaboration with Russians to influence American elections. The NRA was also accused of misusing its tax-exempt status by funneling millions of dollars to top executives and vendors. Time to take action.
-
Sign the petition: The healthcare sector must divest from fossil fuels
Sign the petition: The healthcare sector must divest from fossil fuels TARGET: Health care industry
Fossil fuel companies are both the chief drivers of our climate problem and one of the chief obstacles to solutions. Our hospitals have made clear they understand the stakes. They also have hundreds of billions of dollars invested in the world’s equity markets through their pension funds, endowments, and other vehicles–and that includes investments in fossil fuels.

-
Sign the petition: Elect the president by national popular vote
Sign the petition: Elect the president by national popular vote TARGET: Michigan, Minnesota & all state governments
In a democracy, the person who receives the most votes should win. That’s why we must elect our president by national popular vote. 15 states and the District of Columbia have already joined the National Popular Vote interstate compact, and now we have bills going through the state legislatures in Michigan & Minnesota.
-
Senator Durbin: Subpoena Chief Justice Roberts about Supreme Court ethics violations
Senator Durbin: Subpoena Chief Justice Roberts about Supreme Court ethics violations TARGET: Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin
Supreme Court justices are too powerful and too influential to be allowed to act without any guidelines whatsoever. We need systemic checks to ensure that they are working for the people, not themselves, or their friends, or specific advocacy groups. If Chief Justice Roberts refuses to voluntarily testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, then Chairman Durbin must compel him to testify via a subpoena.
-
Sign the petition: Marjorie Taylor Greene must be removed from U.S. House committees
Sign the petition: Marjorie Taylor Greene must be removed from U.S. House committees TARGET: Congress
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has called for a “national divorce” between red and blue states—in other words, she endorsed the dissolution of the United States. Meanwhile, as a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, she is privy to sensitive information and makes decisions about our national security.
-
Sign the petition: House Republicans are playing with fire on the debt limit
Sign the petition: House Republicans are playing with fire on the debt limit TARGET: House Republicans
House Republicans just passed a debt limit bill to impose $4.5 trillion in cuts that would make children poorer, veterans sicker, families hungrier and housing more expensive. Republicans are doing this only because Joe Biden is president. Congress voted to extend the debt limit three times during the Trump Era with no conditions or negotiations.

-
Sign the petition: Senate must cancel August recess to confirm judges
Sign the petition: Senate must cancel August recess to confirm judges TARGET: Senate Democrats
The U.S. Senate is not confirming Biden-appointed judges fast enough. When Senate Republicans wanted to ram through court appointments during the Trump era (which drastically changed our courts), they canceled the August recess. It is time for Democrats to return the favor.
-
Sign the petition: No cuts to Social Security or raises on retirement age!
Sign the petition: No cuts to Social Security or raises on retirement age! TARGET: U.S. Congress
Social Security is a crucial lifeline for millions of Americans who rely on it for their financial well-being in retirement. We demand that our elected officials stand up for the well-being of all Americans and reject any proposals that would cut Social Security benefits or raise the retirement age.
-
Sign the petition: Investigate Clarence Thomas
Sign the petition: Investigate Clarence Thomas TARGET: U.S. Senate
The news about Clarence Thomas is only getting worse every day. Now, we hear that billionaire Harlan Crow even paid for school tuition of his family members. The U.S. Senate must launch an investigation into Thomas and take steps to pass legislation requiring strong ethics for our Supreme Court.
-
Sign the petition: Congress MUST repeal the Comstock Act
Sign the petition: Congress MUST repeal the Comstock Act TARGET: Congress
As a case that could remove FDA approval of mifepristone winds its way through the courts, abortion remains in more danger than ever. The Comstock Act, a 150-year-old law designed to control our bodies, has dangerously been left on the books and will be used by right-wing judges to ban mifepristone. Time to repeal it.
-
Sign the petition: Denounce fascism in state governments
Sign the petition: Denounce fascism in state governments
Tennessee Republicans expelled 2 Democratic lawmakers (and almost expelled a third) for going up to the podium without being recognized, and leading protesters in a “gun reform now” chant after the Nashville school shooting that killed three 9-year-old children and three adults. This is a dangerous trend.
-
Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the people of Ukraine: Donate to humanitarian efforts assisting refugees and others suffering during this horrific time.
-
Sign and send the petition: Pass a clean funding bill to extend the debt limit. Period.
Sign and send the petition: Pass a clean funding bill to extend the debt limit. Period. TARGET: U.S. Senate
The U.S. is dangerously close to defaulting on our debt, and House Republicans exploited this crisis by passing legislation that would make extreme, steep spending cuts. It’s a callous deal and it cannot be entertained. The U.S. Senate cannot pass this deal and must, instead, raise the debt ceiling without conditions.
-
Sign the petition: Stop Union-busting at Trader Joe's
Sign the petition: Stop Union-busting at Trader Joe's TARGET: Trader Joe's
Trader Joe’s, which cultivates a progressive brand, has rolled out intense union-busting campaigns at every store that's filed for a union election, and refuses to bargain in good faith with its workers. Instead of supporting workers' right to organize, Trader Joe’s has doubled down on union-busting -- using the same tactics as companies like Amazon and Starbucks.
-
Sign the petition: The Supreme Court is in an ethics crisis. Pass reform.
Sign the petition: The Supreme Court is in an ethics crisis. Pass reform. TARGET: Congress
Public trust in the Supreme Court is already at an all time low. Following the revelations about the ethics violations of Justice Thomas and Chief Justice Roberts, now is the time to pass the Supreme Court Ethics Act.
-
Sign the petition: Stop the debt limit madness. Pass a discharge petition.
Sign the petition: Stop the debt limit madness. Pass a discharge petition. TARGET: Congress
The federal government will run out of money on June 1st, and House Republicans are pushing unthinkable cuts as extortion to extend the debt limit. We don't have to accept this. Kevin McCarthy may be owned by MAGA extremists, but we can pass a clean funding bill in the House via discharge petition.
