Here are some of the most popular and time-sensitive petitions from Daily Kos, the largest online gathering space for progressives.
-
Sign the petition: Judge Aileen Cannon must recuse herself from Trump’s case
TARGET: Judge Aileen Cannon
Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, has been assigned to oversee the case involving Donald Trump's mishandling (aka stealing) of classified documents. Judge Cannon has already shown her bias over and over, ruling in Trump's favor, causing major trial delays, and raising serious questions about her impartiality.
-
Sign the petition: Elect the president by national popular vote
TARGET: All U.S. states that have not yet joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact
Maine has recently joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC)--an agreement between states to award their electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the most votes nationally.
Eighteen states and the District of Columbia have joined the NPVIC, with a combined 209 electoral votes. The agreement will go into effect once states and territories with a combined total of 270 electoral votes have joined the compact.
We are calling on all remaining states to join the compact for a truly fair and representative democracy.

Sign the petition to Robert F. Kennedy Jr: Drop out
TARGET: RFK Jr.
'Nuff said.

Sign the petition: Ratify the Equal Rights Amendment
TARGET: Congress
The ERA–an amendment to the U.S. Constitution designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens, regardless of sex–can still happen. It was passed through Congress with well over the required two-thirds majority vote and sent to the states in 1972. Virginia voted to become the 38th state to adopt the amendment in 2020, the last needed to meet the three-quarter state ratification requirement.
However, prior to ratification, Congress set an arbitrary deadline for states’ ratification votes. As a result, the ERA’s ratification was blocked. Right now, Congress can pass resolutions to remove the deadline, certify the ERA, and send it to the archivist to publish it as the 28th Amendment.
-
Sign the petition: Term limits for the Supreme Court now!
TARGET: Congress
The Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization (TERM) Act of 2023 has been introduced in Congress. The TERM Act would introduce fixed 18-year terms for current and future Supreme Court justices and establish regular nominations of justices in the first and third years of each presidential term–a necessary, fair, and accountable reform to the judicial system.
-
Sign the petition: To support the USPS and underserved communities, we need postal banking
TARGET: Congress
One service that could not only strengthen the United States Postal Service (USPS) and generate new revenue, but also help individuals underserved by private financial institutions, is postal banking. Postal banking is simply the provision of financial services via the USPS. By allowing consumers to open a bank account at their post office, postal banking could help over 7 million American households that lack access to a checking account or basic financial services.

Sign the petition: No more corporate greed. No more price gouging
TARGET: Congress
Giant corporations are squeezing American families for fatter profits. Recently, corporations have used inflation as a shield for price gouging, and scored record profits in doing so. The cost of basic groceries has jumped by 25% over the past four years, highlighting the dire consequences of unchecked price gouging on American families.
The Price Gouging Prevention Act of 2024 aims to shield consumers from the predatory practices of price gouging that have left many struggling to afford basic necessities.
-
Sign the petition: Close the gun show loophole and ban assault weapons
TARGET: President Biden and Congress
The Biden administration has proposed a groundbreaking rule that promises to enhance the safety of our communities by expanding background checks for firearm purchases, including at gun shows and online sales. However, to truly improve our safety, this initiative must be coupled with an unequivocal ban on assault weapons–something which requires congressional action.
-
Sign if you agree: No one—not even a former president—is above the law
TARGET: United States Supreme Court
Donald Trump doesn't get it. Despite facing four indictments and 91 criminal charges, he still believes he's covered by presidential immunity.
-
Democrats are just five seats away from retaking control of the House. Daily Kos has identified 16 seats that Dems can flip in November. Donate $1 to each of these Dems now.
-
Sign the petition: Child care costs are too high!
TARGET: Congress and President Biden
Child care isn't just a parental issue—it's a societal one that impacts economic stability and children development. Unaffordable childcare often forces parents, especially mothers, to leave their jobs, reducing family income and limitiing future opportunities.
Without strong federal action, the childcare crisis will worsen, affecting more than just children and families' immediate well-being. We need to advocate for laws that make childcare affordable for all, increase support for providers to improve care quality and availability, and expand family leave policies to help parents balance work and family life effectively.
-
Sign the petition: Prioritize and pass the Equality Act
TARGET: Congress
An unprecedented, terrifying number of anti-LGBTQ+ legislations have been introduced, or already passed, this year in state legislatures across the country. This can, and must, stop.
Congress can act now to protect all Americans’ inalienable right to exist. The Equality Act, federal legislation to explicitly affirm LGBTQ+ civil rights, can protect LGBTQ+ individuals from these attacks at the state level.
-
Add your name: Call on Congress to Pass the Corporate Tax Dodging Prevention Act Now.
TARGET: Congress
We can unrig the system by building support for and passing the Corporate Tax Dodging Prevention Act, introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Jan Schakowsky in both houses of Congress.
It would stop corporations from sheltering profits in tax havens like the Cayman Islands and Luxembourg, eliminate tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas, and close loopholes in the tax code that allow corporations to get away with paying little to nothing in taxes.
