Justice for Maher ArarMaher Arar is a Canadian citizen who was taken by the U.S. special forces and flown to Syria for torture. A year later he was released and the Canadian government gave him compensation and an apology.

Justice for MyanmarAs a Jewish community, it is our responsibility to be the voice of the voiceless. Many of us have family members who were affected by the Holocaust and therefore understand the frustration when major world powers turn a blind eye to ethnic cleansing. It is our duty as a nation of survivors to help the Rohingya being persecuted in Myanmar.38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Caroline Greenblatt

Say Two States!President Trump says he wants to broker the “ultimate deal,” a peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians. But since taking office in January, he and his aides have failed to offer a framework for negotiations, have failed to assert positions that are vital for securing a peace deal, such as sternly opposing settlement construction, and have refused to endorse the only viable formula for a deal: the two-state solution. Not only has Trump failed to adopt or advance the two-state solution. He won’t even publicly say “two states.” Successive U.S. administrations, Republican and Democratic, have recognized that the two-state solution is the only feasible way to resolve the conflict. They therefore made the two-state solution America’s official policy – a key position guiding U.S. policy in the Middle East – for over 15 years. The two-state solution has become a matter of consensus in the region and internationally. The parties, under their own successive leaderships, have committed to this vision and negotiated to realize it. For the Trump Administration to eschew it is disastrous. Extremists on both sides have been trying to discredit the two-state vision since it was internationally adopted. Now they have a partner in the White House. President Trump, don’t play into the hands of the anti-peace extremists. We call on you to endorse the two-state solution. Say two states!373 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Americans for Peace Now

Senate Foreign Relations Comm: Stop the destruction of the State Dept.Both Republican and Democratic Senators have expressed grave concerns about the huge reductions in top level personnel that Sec. Tillerson is carrying out. His actions are endangering US interests throughout the globe. For example, how can we use diplomacy to end the Korean nuclear crisis when the position of US Ambassador to S. Korea remains vacant?39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by William Tajibnapis

Tell Congress: Block Trump from starting a war with North KoreaTweet by tweet and threat by threat, Donald Trump is inching toward war with North Korea. It’s not just a few belligerent comments. For months, top Trump officials have been floating the possibility of an illegal and unconstitutional first strike on North Korea. We need to prepare for a future where Trump tries to attack North Korea, and we need to do it fast. In the words of Trump’s own Defense Secretary, war on the Korean peninsula would be catastrophic. New official studies find that hundreds of thousands and even millions of South Koreans would die in a conflict on the Korean peninsula. That is to say nothing of the long-term consequences that war would bring to global peace and security. Congress is currently considering bills that block Donald Trump from starting a war with North Korea all by himself. Specifically, the legislation blocks any funds for an unprovoked attack on North Korea or other military action that’s not expressly authorized by Congress. This important legislation wouldn’t do anything to change the President’s constitutional right to defend our country if we’re attacked. Instead, it would simply make clear that Donald Trump cannot start a war, just because he wants to. Urge your Members of Congress to support these bills to stand between Trump and a reckless war on the Korean peninsula.2,465 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Miles

Rescind Cuba "Travel Warning", Restore US VisasThe State Department and White House have yielded to pressure from a hard line minority of Cuban Americans to reverse President Obama's historic steps toward more normal relations between the US and Cuba. Senator Marco Rubio has exploited fear and uncertainty about the health situation of US intelligence agents and other personnel in Havana to endanger rapidly growing travel that fosters mutual understanding and trust. He fears hundreds of thousands of Americans annually forming their own opinion about bilateral relations, countless Cuban entrepreneurs creating a better future for their families and the construction of a vibrant Cuban community across the Florida Straits. Cooperation and engagement are the only path to resolve outstanding issues, not the drastic and precipitous removal of both countries' essential embassy staff.

Cuba Travel Warning a Political GameCuban American extremists have exploited unexplained health problems of US government personnel in Havana to try to roll back the historic normalization of diplomatic relations achieved by the Obama Administration. Their immediate target is the burgeoning travel that has fostered mutual understanding and trust. They fear hundreds of thousands of Americans annually forming their own opinion about Cuba, countless Cuban entrepreneurs creating a better future for their families and the creation of a vibrant community across the Straits of Florida. .171 of 200 SignaturesCreated by John McAuliff

Tell Congress: Don't let Trump start World War IIII served our nation at the Defense Intelligence Agency, where I specialized in Iran, and I can tell you that Donald Trump’s reckless saber-rattling is putting American lives and global stability at risk. Donald Trump requested $54 billion in additional funds for things like fighter jets, air craft carriers, and nuclear weapons--even as his budget proposes deep cuts into the U.S. State Department and foreign aid. The message is clear: instead of putting diplomacy first, Trump is stripping away our ability to negotiate with other countries and increasing the risk of all-out war. To make matters worse, Trump has taken to Twitter, seemingly seeking to goad or shame China, even while he continues to antagonize the North Korean leadership. Even Republican Senator Bob Corker recently said that Trump is putting the US “on the path to World War III.” The stakes couldn’t be higher, and we can’t remain silent. Trump's reckless Pentagon spending and bellicose rhetoric should prompt all congressional lawmakers to state right now that they will not support the Trump launching a war of choice. MoveOn members championed strategic and lasting diplomacy with Iran and were the backbone of the resistance to the Iraq war. Let's make it clear to Members of Congress that we're prepared to once again flood the streets in cities and towns across the country to stop Trump’s war making.401 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Nate Terani

Tell Congress: Defend diplomacy and stop a war with IranDonald trump is trying to kill the Iran nuclear deal and put our country back on a dangerous path towards war with Iran. This week, reports indicate that the President will officially decertify the Iran deal to Congress. International experts and the President’s own senior advisors have publicly made clear the deal is working exactly as intended. Unfortunately, Donald Trump’s petty, political desire to undo everything accomplished during the Obama Administration means that he’s going to ignore the truth and decertify the deal anyway. With the President having made his intentions clear, it is up to Congress to make the next move. Congress has to choose whether it will side with the American public, national security experts, and our closest allies or whether they’ll side with Donald Trump and a series of warmongers who have hated this deal since day one, precisely because it avoids the regime change war they’ve always wanted. The Iran deal is working, and we need Congress to protect it against Trump’s efforts to kill it and put us back on the path to war. In the weeks ahead Congress is likely going to be weighing legislation that could either immediately kill the deal by reimposing sanctions or undermine the deal but still walk away from this historic diplomatic accomplishment. Instead of following Trump’s lead, Congress should take steps to isolate the Iran deal from Trump’s political meddling and build upon its foundation to solve our nation’s problems through diplomacy, not war. Let’s make Congress hear our voices and demand they do the right thing, defend diplomacy, and avoid a war with Iran.30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Miles
