• Petition Mary Fallin to remove the minimum wage increase ban in Oklahoma.
    My wife and I and many of our friends have to work multiple jobs upwards of 60 hours a week just to get the bills paid--and we can't afford groceries afterwards. We have to get our groceries from church food drives. We don't have kids so we can't get food stamps. Your citizens shouldn't work 60 hours a week to starve. Raise the ban on minimum wage increase.

  • Legal Age Discrimination
    When a person reaches the age of 50 they are immediately passed over by Human Resource Departments because of this requirement on job applications. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of qualified workers who are ignored and discriminated against simply because of their age. This requirement should be abolished immediately.

  • KEEP the BIKE RALLY in Cibola County
    On August 24th, three members of the Grants City Council decided to speak for the 27,000 plus residents of Cibola County and essentially shut down the Fire and Ice Bike Rally by pulling their support for the event. This event is an important part of the community's economy and tourism efforts. Thank you for your support!

  • Broward County Commission: FLL Airport Workers Deserve a Living Wage
    Airport workers at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood are struggling to survive. They have been speaking up for better wages and treatment, only to be met with bullying and intimation from airline contractors like G2 and Eulen. This is unacceptable for hard-working members of our community to be treated this way. Airport Workers deserve a living wage like everyone else in Broward County.

  • Rent Control: State Regulated Pricing Cap
    This petition is to make our state legislature and governor aware that lower and middle class Californians need a safe guard of protection. This is to protect low income and middle class income Californians, from unforeseeable risky fiscal events due to the lack of "controlled and regulated" financial sectors, in both banking and housing markets. This petition which I hope with the best intentions becomes law, is a safe guard to protect both the lower and middle class, and to protect California's economy if another housing bubble collapse was to occur. This petition is to generate a realized market condition, rather than a false market condition which involves risk, and lessens quality of life.

  • Tell Amazon: Offer paid parental leave to your employees!
    Tech giants like Microsoft, Adobe and Netflix have recently stepped up to offer more paid parental leave for their employees. Netflix announced unlimited parental leave and Microsoft is upping its policy to 20 weeks starting in November. It's time for Jeff Bezos and Amazon to step up and take care of his employees and their young ones, too.

  • Tell Whole Foods if they use prison labor for their products they should hire ex felons with real...
    Learning that Whole Foods used prison labor for its products has been a major turn off for my family and friends. Consumers are continuously reminded of institutionalized greed in corporate America. We want Whole Foods to be a fair and responsible enterprise, for them to give back!! Ex-felons struggle to find jobs when released, by hiring these people, Whole Foods can start making a wrong, right!

  • Stand with Al Franken: Support his bill to ban members of Congress from becoming lobbyists!
    This is big: Senators Al Franken and Michael Bennet introduced a bill this month to BAN the corrupting practice of former members of Congress becoming big money lobbyists. A rapidly rising number of ex-members of Congress are cashing in by becoming well-paid lobbyists – 45% of those who left the 2014 Congress and took another job, according to a recent study by the Sunlight Foundation. Public service should be for the public good – not an audition for a lavish lifestyle as a corporate lobbyist. Sign the petition to tell Congress to pass the Close the Revolving Door Act immediately.

  • Fix Overtime: Raise the Overtime Salary Threshold to $50,440
    For over 30 years, wages in America have remained stagnant while productivity has increased and corporate profits have reached all-time highs. In order for more of those corporate profits to reach the pockets of workers, not just the wealthy few, we need updated rules governing worker protections such as overtime pay and the minimum wage. In 1975, the overtime threshold covered over 60 percent of salaried workers. Today, only 8 percent are covered. Raising the salary threshold—the level below which all workers are guaranteed overtime pay—to $50,440 would increase the share of salaried workers covered significantly. Earlier this year, EPI supporters delivered thousands of petition signatures urging the Department of Labor to increase the overtime salary threshold, and thanks to you we’re almost there. The Department of Labor’s 60-day comment period ends Friday, September 4, and they need to hear from you! Big Business—including the National Retail Federation, the National Association of Home Builders, and other corporate lobbyists—are once again opposing common-sense approaches to raising workers’ wages. They are demonizing this new rule and misrepresenting how it will positively impact the lives of workers and their families. Millions of workers need our help!

  • Sign the petition to McDonald's
    McDonald’s is the world’s second biggest employer – but they consistently underpay workers, accused even of withholding pay and forcing us to work in illegally dangerous conditions. They’re the world’s biggest food supplier – but they consistently poison public trust by dodging taxes and pushing off costs onto public coffers. It has to stop – NOW. I worked at a McDonald’s in Brazil for a year and a half, and I was fired. I spoke out about how McDonald's exploits not just their employees, but my whole country. Tell McDonald’s: STOP. It’s NOT ok for McDonald’s to abuse public trust, withhold pay, or dodge taxes. The race to the bottom needs to stop now.

  • Let The Consumer Decide
    After paying off our mortgage in 2011 (13 years early!), I contacted each credit reporting agency and was APPALLED at the discrepancies between the three agencies (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). After 8 months of mailing documents and phone calls, only Experian had corrected their misinformation. "Disinterested" is the best word to describe the customer service I received overall. Introducing competition will force these three credit agencies to actually give a damn.
