California: Reject a $246 Million Tax Heist!Corporations, like Google, continue to dodge taxes by shifting profits made here to offshore tax havens that have little to no taxes. It’s time for these giant corporations to start living by the same rules as the rest of us. Montana and Oregon have already passed laws to recoup money stashed in offshore tax havens. If we enacted the same policy here in California, it would generate $246 million dollars that we could use to fund our schools and invest in our economy. Let's show our legislators that it's time to close this loophole and make corporations pay their fair share!160 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jason Pfeifle

Tell Ronald McDonald: Stop stealing workers' wages!My name is Ian Swanson. I'm in fourth grade. Once a month, I am allowed to eat at any fast food restaurant I want. My favorite fast food place is McDonald's. I love the Happy Meals! Although my mom disagrees, I think that McDonald's has the best burgers, chicken nuggets and french fries in the country. I really enjoy my monthly treat at McDonald's, but last week was my last Happy Meal. I learned that the people who make my Happy Meal don't earn enough to provide for their own kids because McDonald’s doesn’t pay them enough and sometimes does not even pay what they owe. I don't want to give my money to a company that steals from its workers. It made me very upset to hear that McDonald's and many other fast food companies steal from workers by not paying them for the work they do. That is not fair! My parents taught me to share and never take what does not belong to me. I want to help the McDonald’s workers, but I am just a kid and sometimes I need an adult to help me do things. I want to ask McDonald’s to give back the money that they stole from the workers and be fair. Will you join me? *Ian is the son of an Interfaith Worker Justice staff person.

Outlaw Split-Pay for Minimum Wage WorkersI have worked for Pizza Hut/NPC for the last 4 years. When I started, I was making full minimum whether in store or out on deliveries. Last Year in May, there were several of us in my store that were still making full minimum wage. Pizza Hut had their major meeting retreat, and when our manager came back, she informed us that we "grandfathered" drivers were being put on split-pay effective May 29, 2013. I used to be able to pay all my bills on time, but now I am late on everything due to this pay scheme. I get food stamps, but they don't help with the bills.42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mary Ann Wynn

release unemployment fundsMany job seekers are without funds and have had to borrow from family or friends to survive. Many cannot pay rent or mortgages, and back debts mount. But, more importantly this is a failure to the thousands of job seeking Americans ( including a high percentage of veterans )who are legally due these funds. The money has been set aside and when released it will immediately flow back into the economy.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by c. w. hicks

Let us VoteConservatives in Lansing are using a political ploy to stop the minimum wage campaign in its tracks. This proposal is yet another attempt from conservatives to subvert the will of the people. It is clear that momentum and public opinion are on our side and they are scared. Sign our petition demanding lawmakers allow the people to vote to raise the minimum wage!1,775 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Lonnie Scott

Ass Mem. Ridley-Thomas and Sen. Lieu: Extend state unemployment insurance.I was laid off my job with a mortgage company in 2008 when the economy began collapsing. For two years I could not find a job anywhere in Los Angeles. Since then I have worked on temporary and short term jobs while looking for a permanent position. Unemployment benefits, temporary jobs and my savings have kept me afloat, but that is all gone now and I may not be able to pay my rent and meet my bills for the first time since the extension benefits ended. I am asking my state legislators to extend unemployment benefits since the federal House of Representatives refuses to do so.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Yvonne Teofan
