Signing this petition is crucial because it amplifies our collective voice against oppressive leadership and human rights violations. Each signature demonstrates a commitment to accountability and transparency, urging the conference organizers to reconsider Macky Sall's participation. Your support not only raises awareness about the challenges facing Senegal but also reinforces the importance of upholding democratic values and human rights in Africa.

Well-funded special interests are plotting to throw the U.S. Constitution into chaos – and we need your help to stop them. Secretive, corporate lobby groups like the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) are wielding their influence with state lawmakers, demanding that they vote to call an Article V Constitutional Convention – an unprecedented event with no rules that could lead to a rewrite of the U.S. Constitution. With your help, we already defeated calls for an Article V Convention in Wyoming, Maine, and Idaho this year – but if we don’t keep up the pressure, our extremist opponents could soon successfully secure enough votes to write their extreme far-right priorities into our Constitution. We need your help to stop this attack on our Constitution. Add your name now to tell your lawmakers to REJECT all calls for an Article V Convention.

After losing the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump said “It doesn’t matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell.”  Does this sound like an “official” act of the presidency to you? This shocking quote comes from Special Counsel Jack Smith's newly unsealed evidence, which challenges the Supreme Court’s dangerous ruling on presidential immunity and confirms what we know: presidents shouldn’t have a blank check to try and overturn the will of the voters.  But here’s the good news: with Common Cause’s support, Rep. Joe Morelle has introduced a constitutional amendment that will permanently declare that no American is above the law – not even former presidents – and prohibit presidents from pardoning themselves.  This is a chance to right the Supreme Court’s wrong. Add your name if you agree: Attempting to overturn an election is not an “official” act of the president. No one is above the law, including Donald Trump.

The future of our democracy is at stake if the Republican presidential ticket fails to accept the results of the 2024 election.  When Trump refused to validate the 2020 election results, he ignited a dangerous attack on our nation’s Capitol. We’ve already seen firsthand the impacts of spreading this kind of reckless misinformation that upends our democratic process. Refusing to accept verified election results is extraordinarily harmful, irresponsible, and intolerable behavior from any leader. In 2021, Trump told then-Vice President Mike Pence that, if he certified the results of the 2020 election, it would be “a political career killer." That’s why Vance is Trump’s running mate this election cycle—not Pence. We need to demand NOW that Vance uphold the Constitution and honor the will of the people. Election misinformation is unacceptable. Sign the petition to make it loud and clear that we can’t repeat these reactions to the 2020 results and that Republicans like Trump and Vance must commit to accepting the 2024 election results, no matter what.

MacBride Hall and by extension the University of Iowa is making a conscious choice to make the lives of their disabled students more difficult, and have made no effort to correct their discriminatory inaction. Help us put their feet to the fire, and spread the word. MacBride is the tip of the iceberg: many accessible entrances, bathrooms, elevators, and even evacuation plans demonstrate a clear lack of desire to truly accommodate disabled students. Our mission across our time here at Iowa is to hold the whole of the University accountable for their numerous violations of disabled rights.

It is important for the ninth graders to participate in my campaign, as it is unjust that we are excluded from the highschoolers' recreational activities despite being acknowledged as members of the school community. By rallying others to our cause, we can convey to the higher authorities that our desire for inclusion is not isolated but rather a collective sentiment. Together, we can effect change and secure our rightful participation in a broader array of activities at the highschool.

We are a peaceful state worried about our farms, land, and cattle. We have had an influx in recent years or radicalized people from other states who have taken over our politics and our society. This is not Idaho nor is it Idaho values. Tell our politicians we will not accept their behavior to our Native Peoples or our state as a whole. 

It’s time to ban guns from every polling place in America. The voting booth should be a sanctuary of democracy. But every election year, we see reports of people openly carrying weapons as voters go to the polls – turning what should be a safe and welcoming experience into one of intimidation and fear. That's why Common Cause is taking bold action to protect voters. Just this year, we helped pass laws restricting guns at polls in New Mexico and Massachusetts – and with your action, we can bring this solution to every state in the nation. Our democracy works best when every voter feels safe and empowered. Voting is meant to be an act of hope—NOT fear—and with your help, we can make that a reality nationwide. If you agree, add your name to our petition today telling Congress: Every voter must be able to cast a ballot without fear or intimidation. Guns do NOT belong at polling places.

Students should feel that their bodies are not ground for discrimination or bias. Also, students should also feel comfortable on campus knowing that teachers are being held accountable for issuing false dress code violations willy nilly. 

By signing this petition, you are helping us show support for the Count on Us to Certify Pledge, so we can ensure our election officials commit to a peaceful and transparent certification process that respects election workers, guarantees every vote is counted and ensures the will of the people prevails. You can get the pledge here. 

Reject Xcel Energy's 20-year extension request for the Monticello nuclear power plant. • The plant is 53 years old, making it one of the three oldest in the US. • The 2022 leak of 829,000 gallons of radioactive tritium and other carcinogens poses a threat to: • The Mississippi River, a drinking water source for 20 million people. • The environment and wildlife. • The food chain through irrigation of crops. • Tritium exposure, especially during pregnancy, is linked to: • Cancers in newborns. • Pregnancy loss. • Birth abnormalities. We say NO! NO to the deadly radioactivity harming our children, environment, drinking water, and food! NO to the extension request! We demand the safe shutdown of the Monticello plant!

Why This Matters The Melrose rooftop is a shared community space, and the ability to utilize it for walking my dog is part of the living experience that was promised when I moved in. Restricting access without any documented safety, maintenance, or legal violations undermines the trust and expectations that were established. Moreover, limiting the use of public amenities based on complaints from a single tenant, as has been suggested, sets a dangerous precedent for the community at large. This petition represents not only my personal concerns but those of other residents who value the building’s pet-friendly environment and expect to continue living in a space that respects the terms of the lease and the rights of all tenants. I respectfully request a prompt review of this matter and a formal response outlining the steps that will be taken to resolve these concerns.
