-
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: 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: Stop book bans!
Sign the petition: Stop book bans!
Far-right extremists have implemented at least 1,477 book bans this year, with thousands more challenged. These book bans range from books about civil rights hero Rosa Parks to children’s books about two male penguins raising a chick together, and even include the poem Amanda Gorman read at President Biden's inauguration.

Sign the petition: Everyone deserves a living wage
Sign the petition: Everyone deserves a living wage
In 2023, it is legal for employers to pay their employees less than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 in 43 states – sometimes as little as $2.13. Not only is this wage unlivable for workers and their families, but it creates an environment ripe for harassment and discrimination as a reliance on tips forces workers into bad situations.
-
Keep abortion safe and accessible. Chip in $3 to help independent abortion clinics across the country.
-
Sign if you agree: Fox cannot get a tax write-off for its settlement
Sign if you agree: Fox cannot get a tax write-off for its settlement TARGET: Congress
After Fox paid a $787 million court settlement for spreading lies about the 2020 election, a spokesperson confirmed that they plan to write off this expense on their taxes. Federal law allows taxpayers to write off many legal costs, providing they are “ordinary and necessary” business expenses. In this situation, that's absurd.
-
Sign the petition to the Department of Justice: Investigate Rudy Giuliani
Sign the petition to the Department of Justice: Investigate Rudy Giuliani TARGET: U.S. Department of Justice
Rudy Giuliani allegedly offered to sell presidential pardons for $2 million while he was former President Trump’s lawyer. This is illegal and a total abuse of power. The Department of Justice must investigate.
-
Sign the petition: Protect the separation of church and state
Sign the petition: Protect the separation of church and state
The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution enshrines the right to the right to practice any religion, or no religion at all. But recent legislation and court rulings are jeopardizing these fundamental American values. We are witnessing an increasing trend toward promoting Christianity in public institutions, particularly within our public schools.
-
Sign the petition to corporations: Don't cave to bigotry. We won't forget.
Sign the petition to corporations: Don't cave to bigotry. We won't forget.
Target has become the latest company to cave to bigotry–pulling their Pride collection, which included clothes and books for children. Corporations are caving to homophobic threats and tantrums and letting bigoted extremists know their public meltdowns are more important than supporting and protecting humanity and community.
-
Sign the petition: George Santos must resign immediately
Sign the petition: George Santos must resign immediately TARGET: Rep. George Santos
George Santos is a demonstrated liar who does not belong in the United States Congress. And now, his lies have gotten him into serious legal trouble–a 13 count indictment ranging from wire fraud to false statements to theft of public money. He must resign immediately.
-
Sign the petition: Denounce fascism in state legislatures
Sign the petition: Denounce fascism in state legislatures
Republican state legislatures across the country are increasingly bent on shutting out dissenting voices who dare speak out against their right-wing agenda: in Tennessee, Montana, Texas and elsewhere. It was already bad enough that Republicans were using their agenda to attack marginalized communities. These anti-democratic moves to silence dissenitng voices amount to fascism.
-
Sign the petition to President Biden: Use the 14th Amendment to avert default
Sign the petition to President Biden: Use the 14th Amendment to avert default TARGET: President Biden
As the U.S. approaches default on June 1, MAGA Republicans have demanded unthinkable cuts that would make children poorer, veterans sicker, families hungrier and likely trigger a deep recession. President Biden must use his executive authority to invoke the 14th Amendment, because the public debt cannot be questioned.
-
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: 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.
-
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: Elect the president by national popular vote
Sign the petition: Elect the president by national popular vote TARGET: Michigan & 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. 16 states and the District of Columbia have already joined the National Popular Vote interstate compact (with Minnesota having just joined), and we have bills going through the state legislature in Michigan too.
-
Sign the petition to Congress: Ban assault weapons
Sign the petition to Congress: Ban assault weapons TARGET: Congress
It has been one year since the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas when an 18-year-old killed nineteen students and two teachers. It has been two months since the school shooting in Nashville, Texas when a shooter killed three students and three teachers. These senseless acts could have been prevented with an assault weapon ban.
-
Sign the petition: The Supreme Court is broken. Pass reform.
Sign the petition: The Supreme Court is broken. 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.
