Bring our deported veterans back and protect military families from deportation“Ashley's Memory Project” In 2007, Ashley Sietsema gave her life for her country serving in Kuwait. Ashley was called to serve her country to protect freedom and democracy and gave selflessly. Now, in the wake of losing his daughter Ashley's father, Alberto, has been placed in deportation proceedings. No parent of our brave service men and women should be faced with the additional trauma and injustice of being torn apart from their families. Ashley's Memory Project also brings to light the over three thousand US veterans who have already been deported. They return from war damaged and suffering from many forms of mental illness and addiction. In these cases, many of these men and women receive drug charges and are then ineligible for citizenship and are consequently sent back to their country of origin, separated from their family. This is no way a government can justify this treatment of the very people who risk their lives to defend it.620 of 800 SignaturesCreated by olivia segura

Child physical and sexual safetyThis petition is about child physical and sexual safety. The California Constitution states in part that all citizens have a right to seek and obtain safety. Yet children are treated as property, not as human beings and citizens. This is the most important social justice and human rights issue of our times.97 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Connie Valentine

Recall Muncie Community Schools Board of TrusteesThe School Board of Muncie Community Schools has been meeting in private to discuss issues which breaks Open Door Laws. They will try to tell you they are having dinner. The law is clear that no more than 2 of them can be in a room together at a time without an executive session notice 48 hours before the meeting. The Muncie Community is in the dark about everything they are deciding. Their decisions affect the economy and future of the Muncie Community. This school board has put what is best for the students of Muncie Community Schools on the back burner.65 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carmen Nicolson

Outlaw Organized Gang StalkingI'm starting this petition because I am an individual targeted by gang stalkers, so I know what it feels like to live in fear. I know what it is like to feel hopeless and wonder if there is any way to escape all the pain and suffering. Innocent people are being sought after by people who have absolutely no regard to human life and they must be stopped.97 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rosemeka Williams

Save Puerto RicoPuerto Rico is a commonwealth of the U.S., but there are laws in place that prevents the island from declaring bankruptcy. There are also some outdated laws that limit the ability of the island to trade and allow foreign cargo ships into its ports. These laws need to be removed to allow the island to thrive. The island also lacks representation in Congress and the House of Representatives. The U.S. collects tax from the island, so it is only right that they receive the same rights as rest of the U.S. citizens3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Demetrio

Tell Congress: Stop corporations from stealing our rights. Stop forced arbitration.Big corporations and their five best friends on the Supreme Court have teamed up to take away your ability to seek justice for yourself and your family, fight corporate abuse of consumers and workers, and join with others to pursue equal justice under law. The issue is forced arbitration and, whether you know it or not, you have already been victimized. Buried in everyday agreements for products, services, and jobs is fine print saying when you are harmed, you can’t go before an impartial jury or judge. Instead, these forced arbitration clauses send you to a decision-maker picked by the company that wronged you. Not surprisingly, one study found that arbitrators rule for companies over consumers 94 percent of the time. And you’re stuck with their decision because there’s no appeal. It’s a rigged system that helps companies evade responsibility for violating anti-discrimination, consumer protection, and public health laws. There is a bill in Congress called the Arbitration Fairness Act that will end the insidious practice of corporations forcing consumers and workers against their will to surrender their ability to seek justice in the courts. Sign the petition to let your representatives know that rigging the system to protect corporations from the consequences of their bad behavior must stop!438 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Alliance for Justice
