Put an end to the Trump Tax Scam!The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act showered billions of dollars on the wealthiest Americans and mega-corporations, but largely left out millions of working families, many of whom are feeling the pain of unexpectedly smaller tax refunds or even owing additional taxes! Rather than continuing to give trillions of dollars away in tax cuts to mega-corporations and cutting our healthcare, nutrition, and education in order to pay for them, Congress should repeal this upside down, harmful law and instead concentrate its efforts on strengthening working family credits so parents can better care for their families and become more financially secure.549 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Elyssa Schmier, MomsRising

PETITION TO CHANGE MEAL/BREAK LAW IN THE STATE OF TEXASI AM A U.S. ARMY VETERAN AND I HAVE WORKED FOR MY CURRENT COMPANY FOR 2 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN 200+ DAYS WITHOUT ANY LUNCH BREAKS OR BATHROOM BREAKS. I'M SURE THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING SINCE IT IS NOT AGAINST THE LAW OR REQUIRED IN THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR AN EMPLOYER TO GIVE AN EMPLOYEE A BREAK OR LUNCH AT ALL, NO MATTER HOW MANY HOURS THEY WORK. THIS LAW NEEDS TO CHANGE! AN EMPLOYER SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PICK AND CHOOSE IF AN EMPLOYEE GETS TO HAVE LUNCH OR NOT. STOP THE UNFAIR TREATMENT! SIGN THIS PETITION TO HELP GET THIS FIXED. WE ARE EMPLOYEES, NOT SLAVES!41 of 100 SignaturesCreated by RICARDO MILLAN-CEPERO

Support the Stone Creek Coffee Workers Union!Workers at Stone Creek Coffee have met for the past several months to discuss their issues at work, and are organizing to form a Union to meet with management as equals! Show your solidarity as they work with Teamsters Local 344 to build that vision. Lend your voice in support of the following issues: 1. We're proud to be Stone Creek employees. Stone Creek Coffee is a Milwaukee company, and we support local, quality made products. Our union will give a voice to the workers as equals, where we can have a contract to fix scheduling, hours of work, and other issues permanently. An open-door policy is fine, but we want a union contract! 2. Stone Creek workers deserve a raise. We are the faces and the muscle of the company, and wages of 8-10 dollars force us to rely on tips to survive. We deserve a fair days work for a fair days pay. 3. Stone Creek Coffee management should recognize our union, or at least remain neutral as we organize and find our voice. Milwaukee is a union town that respects working families – not union-busters.1,136 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Kas Schwerdtfeger

Walmart: Don't eliminate greetersWalmart ought to keep their disabled greeters. There are petitions for individual disabled greeters to keep their jobs, but this is a general petition for Walmart not to eliminate this position in 1,000 stores, as they have announced they will do in April. Can't they afford to help these people by giving them jobs? Don't they realize the value of the job they do?285 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Wendy

Remove Aramark from YosemiteMany people that make Yosemite special have been directly affected by the poor business practices of Aramark. Their blatant disregard for pillars of Yosemite's community is quickly degrading the value of this magical place and they should be stopped.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marybeth Carolan

Keep Half-Price Books in Todos Santos PlazaTodos Santos Plaza in Concord, CA has a rich history as a gathering place, event space, and city center. It isn't just about Concord though - as a world citizen I am tired of seeing unique areas of cities being swallowed up by corporations pushing out small and/or unique retailers that we want, homogenizing our shopping experiences to the extent that regardless of where you go - you get to have Chipotle, The Habit, and some wing chain. My 18-year-old son has grown up with the Friday night tradition of walking to Todos Santos Plaza to visit friends at EJ Phair, walk over to Half Price to browse/shop for books/records/whatever - then head on home after picking up a burrito from Taqueria Los Dos Gallos. Why would we want to replace Half Price with a 5th bank location? Or another chain restaurant? Concord is proud of its heritage - but it is being ruined and replaced so that it is no longer unique or appealing at all. My son has always dreamed of taking over our house to remain in the area - but now even he is onboard with turning our home into a rental because the area is no longer charming - it's homogenized and completely uninspiring.3,287 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Karna Grenier

Keep family farms in businessI am a first generation dairyman who owns a small dairy. I love my job and the animals and with milk prices so low we are having to borrow money just to feed the cows and stay in business and work 16 to 18 hours a day. Our cows are our family and we are being forced to think about getting rid of them because of the small dairy economy.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by cole gaines

Bring smart retail opportunities to Mountains EdgeMountains Edge is a premier master-planned community that is a great spot to call home. One of the issues that we face is that we have no retail within the community to support the residents. We cannot remain a great community if we continue to reject any and all proposal to bring businesses within our borders.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kristin Krerowicz
