Here are some of the most popular and time-sensitive petitions from Daily Kos, the largest online gathering space for progressives.
-
Sign the petition: Disqualify Trump from running for president
Sign the petition: Disqualify Trump from running for president TARGET: Congress
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is very clear. Any person who has taken an oath to support the Constitution, but has subsequently engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, is disqualified from holding office. Donald Trump's actions on January 6 make him ineligible to run for president, and he must be disqualified.
-
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 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: Child poverty has doubled. Restore the child tax credit.
Sign the petition: Child poverty has doubled. Restore the child tax credit. TARGET: Congress
According to the Census Bureau, child poverty more than doubled from 5.2% in 2021 to 12.4% in 2022. This was no accident. In December 2021, Congress failed to extend the federal child tax credit that had lifted nearly 4 million kids out of poverty. There has been no success at restoring it since.

Sign the petition: Denounce MAGA GOP's baseless impeachment inquiry against President Biden
Sign the petition: Denounce MAGA GOP's baseless impeachment inquiry against President Biden TARGET: Congress
In an audacious and deeply troubling move, House Republicans have called for a formal impeachment inquiry targeting President Joe Biden. This announcement comes despite the glaring absence of concrete evidence linking the President to any criminal wrongdoing.
-
Sign the petition: No government shutdown, again!
Sign the petition: No government shutdown, again! TARGET: Congress
The threat of a government shutdown still looms large, with severe consequences for millions of Americans. While a temporary deal was reached to avert a government shutdown in October, Congress only has until November 17 to pass yet another funding bill–or the government will shut down. And now, extreme House GOP members have ousted Speaker McCarthy, throwing the U.S. House into disarray and causing additional delays to passing a bill to continue funding government operations.
-
Sign the petition: Justice Clarence Thomas must resign
Sign the petition: Justice Clarence Thomas must resign
For 30-plus years, Clarence Thomas has served on the U.S. Supreme Court where he helped overturn the right to abortion, eviscerated the Voting Rights Act, gutted environmental protections and turned on the flow of corporate money that would corrupt our electoral system. During that time, he concealed decades of lavish trips paid for by several major GOP donors, including Harlan Crow.
-
Sign if you agree: No more MAGA circus. Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker!
Sign if you agree: No more MAGA circus. Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker! TARGET: Congress
Republicans are in disarray. On October 3, Kevin McCarthy became the first House Speaker in history to be voted out. Ten days later, the GOP still hasn't chosen a successor who can get 217 votes. Meanwhile, the government runs out of funding on November 17th and we have real issues that need immediate attention. Republicans cannot be trusted to lead our nation. It is time for Hakeem Jeffries (who enjoys unanimous support from House Democrats) to become Speaker.
-
Sign the petition: Ron DeSantis cannot rewrite Black history
Sign the petition: Ron DeSantis cannot rewrite Black history TARGET: Florida Republicans
The new Black history standards approved by the Florida State Board of Education include revisionist and offensive language suggesting that some Black people benefited from slavery because it "taught them useful skills." Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans are out of control.

-
Sign if you agree: The Supreme Court is in serious need of reform
Sign if you agree: The Supreme Court is in serious need of reform
As the Supreme Court kicks off its new term this October, the docket is filled with cases that could reshape America. With ethical controversies and a lack of accountability clouding the Court, we can't trust its ability to decide monumental cases fairly. We need immediate reform.
-
Sign the petition: Hold Trump accountable without delay!
Sign the petition: Hold Trump accountable without delay!
Delay tactics have been a central and successful part of the Trump legal playbook, shielding him from previous prosecutions. These tactics are designed to force cases to drag on for months—long enough for witnesses to disappear and for Trump to run for office unencumbered.
-
Sign the petition: Protect Lāhainā residents from predatory developers & scammers!
Sign the petition: Protect Lāhainā residents from predatory developers & scammers! TARGET: Congress
In the aftermath of Maui's tragic wildfires, predatory land developers are cold calling survivors and lurking around emergency shelters to speak with residents of Lāhainā. Not to offer help or give comfort in the wake of a tragedy — but to capitalize on the vulnerable homeowners who have just lost everything.
-
Sign the petition: Stop Donlin Gold Mine to protect Alaska tribes and ecosystems
Sign the petition: Stop Donlin Gold Mine to protect Alaska tribes and ecosystems TARGET: Biden Administration
Indigenous communities in Alaska are fighting back against what would become the largest pure gold mine in the world. The development and operation of this mine would threaten their ways of life and crucial food sources. Tell the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Land Management to revoke Trump-era permits for the Donlin Gold Mine.
-

-
Sign the petition: Stop further criminalization attempts on abortion now
Sign the petition: Stop further criminalization attempts on abortion now
It has been over one year since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Beyond banning abortion, some GOP states are now attempting to criminalize traveling out of state for reproductive care. This has to stop now.
-
Tell Elon Musk: Stop spreading conspiracy theories
Tell Elon Musk: Stop spreading conspiracy theories
When Nancy Pelosi's husband was brutally attacked in his own home, Elon Musk helped spread lies and disinformation about the attack on Twitter. With disinformation and conspiracy theories related to the 2020 election and COVID ramping up, join us in calling on Elon Musk to stop using his platform to spread conspiracy theories.
-
Sign if you agree: The clean economy must be unionized
Sign if you agree: The clean economy must be unionized
President Joe Biden & Democrats in Congress passed three historic, job-creating laws: the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), and the CHIPS and Science Act. We need to make sure that these jobs are good union jobs.
-
Sign if you agree: Pass automatic voter registration
Sign if you agree: Pass automatic voter registration TARGET: State legislatures
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro just announced that eligible voters in the state will be automatically registered to vote when they renew or obtain a driver's license. Automatic voter registration policies have proven to be effective in increasing participation in our democracy. It's a model all other states should immediately follow.
