Upper Darby Zoning Board: Vote No on Self-StorageAs residents of Upper Darby, we believe that citizen-engaged business development will support the vibrancy that all members of our community seek. This current request is an example of a business model that embodies what many members of this community solidly and soundly reject, and fails to capture the spirit of what is required for our neighborhoods to thrive.118 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Laurie Patterson

Keep the Local Bank In Our CommunityTD Bank has been in the Bay Area for years. They have supported local nonprofit organizations with help in collecting donations for our neighborhood children and more. The residence has a place to deposit their incomes directly. Major banks have been closing in our local areas and have left an empty building in its place. We need to continue to support one another by keeping local businesses open in the neighborhood.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Candejah Pink

Tax excessive CEO payAt some companies, it would take the median worker 1,000 years to earn what the CEO makes in just 1 year. Out-of-control CEO pay while workers fight to survive shouldn’t be the norm. Worker wages have largely stagnated since the 1970s, while the top 1 percent have more than doubled their share of the nation’s income. Corporate and banking executives make up about 2/3 of America’s top 1% households. The Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act, introduced by Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Barbara Lee, and Senator Bernie Sanders, would raise the corporate tax rate for any companies that pay their executive 50 times more than their typical workers. The bill begins with a 0.5 percent tax. The worst offending companies that pay their CEO more than 500 times their median worker would be taxed 5 percent. Last year, the median Walmart employee made just under $22,000. Meanwhile, CEO Doug McMillon made $23.6 million. Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson brought home $13.38 million-- 1,049 times the median worker at the company. It’s time companies shared the wealth with workers, not just CEOs. The Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act will incentivize living wages. Sign the petition to Congress: it’s time to Tax CEO Pay.1,647 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Americans for Financial Reform

Citizens For Affordable HousingI've seen families forced to move because someone has bought their property and increased rent prices that the tenant couldn't pay. I've seen so many become homeless due to a lack of affordable housing available to families. We ask that our city, state, and federal leaders act swiftly on this issue at hand. If we don't act swiftly, more families and more kids will be forced to be homeless.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jarvus Turnley

Support a Fair Contract for GSU Professors and StaffDuring the state budget crisis of 2015-17, UPI members made financial sacrifices to keep the university running and tuition low. These professionals showed dedication to the educational needs of working class, immigrant, African American, veteran, women, youth, and LGBTQIA+ students. They stood for us; now it’s time to have their back.126 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lyle Christopher Evans

Mayor Dyer: Save the RaysIt’s never good for a major league sports team to leave (the state), but moving them to another city, could help Orlando, and it adds one more sport...this helps with recruiting businesses to our city, jobs, taxes.96 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Janine

No More Tolls!Taxation without representation. This state exploits it's citizens financially and refuses to take heed to our outcries or consider our needs as citizens, instead favoring payoff from big business and private contributors. Money is their motivation and the Good to Go system is proof of that. It frequently overcharges motorists for not having a sticker and accidentally crossing into restricted lanes. They are enforced by inaccurate and over-sensitive cameras and collected by a third party outsourced agency. End this corruption now!19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Zachary Kronland
