Alex Azar must resignThe coronavirus is threatening to become a major global pandemic, with the number of confirmed cases growing inside the United States. So who are Donald Trump and his administration’s top officials most concerned about right now? Giant corporations. When asked by Congress if a future vaccine will be guaranteed to be affordable for all Americans, Trump’s head of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar--a former drug company lobbyist--refused to commit. Instead, he suggested that private pharmaceutical companies’ ability to profit would come before the health needs of the people. This is outrageous and he must resign.98 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nita Chaudhary, MoveOn Political Action

Reform The New Michigan Auto LawSeveral new sections written into the new law are going to have devastating retroactive consequences for current auto injury survivors that have been receiving care for many years. Several sections are going to make drastic negative changes in the way these patients are going to receive their care in the future. The New Michigan Auto Law makes drastic cuts to the reimbursement rates to almost every company providing services to current auto injury survivor’s and ones in the future. These cuts are as large as 50% and directed at small and large businesses in the healthcare industry. Currently, healthcare organizations make up 32 percent of the top 25 companies in the State of Michigan. These drastic cuts will lead to Michigan Healthcare Workers losing hundreds of thousands of jobs. The majority of small businesses serving auto injury survivor’s will be out of business. If you work or know someone who works for one of these types of businesses, you should be concerned about your future. Here’s an example of a few types of healthcare businesses that will be affected: Home Care Companies Case Managers Hospitals Rehabilitation Centers & Offices Attorneys Medical Supply Companies Doctors Offices Physical and Occupational Therapy Several other sections written into the new law address the increased liability you will now be taking on by reverting back to the tort system. You could now be responsible to pay another families medical bills resulting from a car crash for the rest of their life. Or you might have to go through the trouble of having to sue someone else to try and get your medical bills paid for. Either way is not good. Because of all of this increased liability, we are now going to have to carry a much greater amount of liability insurance that will increase our premiums and offset the savings from giving up our right to lifetime care for our family resulting from a car crash. Reforms are needed to the New Michigan Auto Law. Please sign our electronic form and show your support for reform.24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by All American Roll Models

Save South Dakota Acupuncture!Without proper regulatory oversight, SD becomes a safe haven for untrained and unqualified practitioners. Patients deserve the right to know that their practitioners have proper training, education, professional ethics, board certification, and ongoing training that ensures that they receive the highest quality care. Acupuncture has been proven to be an effective and affordable treatment option for chronic pain, opioid use/abuse, PTSD/depression/anxiety, and acute pain conditions. The practice of acupuncture is currently being utilized within the Department of Defense, the Veterans Administration, large medical centers, and, most recently, has been adopted into Medicare coverage for the treatment of chronic low back pain. In South Dakota, the VA Healthcare System has already contracted with several private acupuncture practices around the state for many years to provide quality, non-pharmacological treatment to thousands of veterans in need. In states that have recently adopted acupuncture practice acts, the state has seen a nearly immediate increase in the number of professional acupuncturists moving to the state and contributing to commerce, as well as expanding access to treatment for the residents. Acupuncture regulation is good for state economic growth and development, as well as direct patient care. Please tell SD legislators that it is time to save South Dakota acupuncture!231 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Drea Miller

SAVE OUR STREETS CHALLENGEThe issue with Gun Violence has gotten out of control and we believe this program will help reduce the numbers drastically. The need for the Prevention of these crimes has become undeniable and we have conducted our own research to get us to the point we could design a program able to make a change. The commitment to change has to come from the individuals in the program and then we can proceed with the transformation. Our research leads us to believe that we must guide each person through the process and take the responsibility to make sure each one makes it through successfully. Obstacles in life always jump up and distract those in the process of changing so it's imperative that we anticipate these things and be there with the necessary adjustments needed to complete their change. Graduating them to a good paying job, life skills and a stable place for them to live and grow will show them they have already made the change from the type of people who would throw it all away to the ones that think things through and value what they have to lose. This is how we create better members of society is from making them proud to be a part of this society. This is how we will Save Our Streets, we must challenge everyone to do their part in making this work. Therefore we are initiating this challenge to everyone in the community from business owners and our corporate community to the volunteers and mentors who plan to be more hands on with the members of our program. We believe it will take a village to solve this matter and we must be committed to our community to change it. Written by: Steven Lamar25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David young

Let’s break the cycle of systemic corruption.Chicago House and Social Service agency serves some of the most marginalized populations in Chicago. Communities that are experiencing homelessness, communities that are impacted by HIV and Trans women and Gender expansive communities. Chicago House Chief Financial Officer Andrea Peoples was arrested on January 6, 2020 by Chicago Police Department and Cook County State’s Attorney office charged her with felony theft. Andrea Peoples and two other “high level” employees defrauded Chicago House and Social Service Agency out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. This crime has put the clients, employees and community members at risk for losing access to housing, medical care, HIV prevention, legal, and case management. We can no longer put fiduciary trust in a group of people who did not sound the alarm as this robbery to our communities took place. We need new leadership that can be accountable and transparent to the communities it serves.

Food Over-Packaging: Put A Stop To Unnecessary Plastic Packagings For Milk Tea 食品过度包装:对塑料袋装奶茶说NOThis experience is nearly universal: a package arrives at the front door and a buyer goes retrieve it. Opening the cardboard box, taking out the foam boards, bubble wrap, and plastic sheets, ripping open the shrink-wrap are all steps one must take to open an average package to reveal the product. By the same caliber, drinks such as milk tea are usually placed inside large plastic bags that serve no purpose other than being a temporary container. This means that purchasing a simple product weighing in at only a few grams, produces about a kilogram of plastic and foam that become potential pollutants for the environment. The producer wastes materials and money on extra packaging, and on top of all that, the process of disposing of such excessive packaging is certainly not an enjoyable process, and wastes time and effort on the consumer’s side as well. Join us in the effort to reduce plastic waste in the environment, help improve the productivity of firms, and reduce consumer inconvenience. After all, how can we clean the oceans if more plastic flows in afterwards? We hope that major companies selling beverages such as milk tea and coffee to the masses can see, and hopefully change their production methods for the benefit of our society as a whole. 这种情况是非常普遍的:包裹到达前门,买家前去取回包裹。打开纸箱,取出泡沫板,气泡包装纸和塑料片,撕开收缩包装纸,这是打开一个普通包装以获得产品所必须实行的步骤。同样的方式,奶茶之类的饮品通常会放在一个大的塑料袋中,这些塑料袋除了用作临时容器外没有其他用途。通过购买重量仅为几十克的简单产品,可以生产约一千克的塑料和泡沫,成为对环境的潜在污染物。生产者在额外的包装上浪费了更多的材料和金钱,最重要的是,处理这种过度包装的过程并不是不是一个愉快的过程,并且同时也浪费了消费者的时间和精力。加入我们,努力减少环境中的多余塑料浪费,帮助提高公司的生产率,减少消费者的不便。毕竟,如果以后有更多的塑料流入,我们如何清洁海洋?签署这份请愿书,以便使出售食品和饮料的大型公司可以看到,并希望改变其生产方式,从而造福于整个社会。17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Max Chen

We the People, the ForgottenTaxpayer money is being wasted. The homeless black and white man are forgotten, forced into deplorable situations, and told by the shelter board we are screwed and not a priority. The taxpayer is paying for a system that can change and we can be in jobs, out of the shelter system faster, and not even in subsidized housing, not in section 8, not in assisted living, but in our own homes. We do not have to stand by, wasting hard earned taxpayer dollars, and just accept the norm and say things cant change, we are screwed. Things can change. Perceptions of those forgotten and left behind can be challenged. Help can be obtained. We will not be silent any longer.24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by brandon leonardi

No to Christian Support for the "Deal of the Century"Trump's "Deal of the Century" is a direct attack on the rights of the Palestinian people, one that would not be possible without Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the largest Israel lobby in the US. CUFI has spent over a decade laying the groundwork for these policies. With unyielding support for U.S. military funding to Israel, anti-BDS legislation, and settlement expansion, CUFI has been moving towards this moment since its inception. It is no surprise that CUFI's founder, John Hagee, a frequent guest to the White House over the past 4 years, attended Trump's announcement. With over 8 million members and consistent presence on Capital Hill, CUFI is intimately involved in strengthening conservative backing for Israel. Trump’s shameful attempts at suppressing Palestinian freedom would not be possible without them. We cannot allow CUFI’s influence to go unchallenged! Join me now in taking back our Christian Voice!1,715 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Tarek Abuata
