U.S.: Sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear WeaponsThe human race has lived too long with the danger of nuclear war and the worldwide presence of harmful radiation. If we don't bring an end to nuclear weapons, their use, whether on purpose or accidentally, will destroy us.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by LeRoy Moore

Throw the Trump administration out of the White House for their support of terroristsTrump and his administration openly praise terrorist & dictators regularly! with Trump on record as quoting Benito Mussolini and Hitler. They are openly white supremacist, even going as far as encouraging events like what happened in Charlottesville! During Trump's run for president, he even told his supporters in a televised rally to "Beat the crap" out of those who didn't support him! At the same rally as well as many others, Trump encouraged his supporters to salute him using the Nazi salute that was commonly used by Hitler's supporters! Trump and his administration support terrorists and ARE terrorists and MUST be removed from power NOW before it's too late!3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nathan VanMiddlesworth

Prevent nuclear war in KoreaWe already saw millions of people lose their lives in the Great War, on the Eastern Front in World War II, in the Nazi Shoah, and in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Let us not repeat history, especially for our most vulnerable allies in Korea and Japan.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rajesh S Raghavan

I say NO to warI'm a mother and a wife, a physician and a human being. The last thing we need right now is international conflict or war. I don't want a future with more deaths, more bombs, more threats, more tears, more needless suffering, more trauma. I've had enough. I'm determined, motivated, passionate, and still believe peace is the best option. I'm a proud American. This fear-generating war publicity is degrading our national values and makes NO ONE safer. Hell, I've got things to do (like laundry and bills and dishes). So, we need to stop escalating today. In the words of Sweet Brown, "Ain't nobody got time for that!" Enough humans have died from war and conflict. Aren't we tired of this yet? It's 2017 and I need a future for my family and children where we can: - peacefully resolve conflict - stop killing each other - stop reacting out of fear - fulfill our family and community goals, with security and peace Stop all the endless media stories promoting war and fear and conflict and drama and threats. Start spreading our own stories about peaceful resolutions and what we all want - to live our lives in security, not fear. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." - FDR #love #peace #resist #theresistance #nonuclear #nowar Please sign this petition and forward to your networks. Only unity and compassion can drive out fear.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by NO West

Stop the insanity. Don't provoke war with North KoreaDonald Trump is making us all more unsafe with every war-mongering comment, tweet, and threat. His rhetoric threatening North Korea with "fire and fury" is exacerbating a dangerous situation, putting the people of Guam--and everyone around the world--in grave danger. While a nuclear North Korea is a real concern, the answer must be diplomacy-first, not a rush to a potentially devastating nuclear war. The American people say "no" to war with North Korea.97,033 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by Jo Comerford

@clairecmc, @SenDonnelly, @Sen_JoeManchin, @MarkWarner, @SenBillNelson: #StopArmingSaudi War Crim...Because of Saudi Arabia's war and blockade, Yemen is on the brink of famine [1] and a million malnourished children in Yemen are at risk from cholera. [2] Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen is also helping Al Qaeda, [3] as even the State Department acknowledged in a July 2017 report. [4] U.S. arming of Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen could make the U.S. a co-belligerent in international law and make U.S. officials liable for Saudi Arabia's war crimes. [5] On June 13, only five Democratic Senators voted to keep arming Saudi Arabia's famine-inducing war in Yemen: Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Mark Warner of Virginia, Bill Nelson of Florida, and Joe Manchin of West Virginia. The vote was 47-53. If these five Democrats had voted with the Senate Democratic leadership and the majority of Senate Democrats, the Senate would have voted to block the Saudi arms deal. [6] Senator Todd Young [R-IN] and Senator Jeff Merkley [D-OR] have introduced amendments on the National Defense Authorization Act [NDAA] which would block the arming of Saudi Arabia's war crimes in Yemen. Senator Young's amendment would prohibit any arms transfers to Saudi Arabia until the Saudis stop bombing civilian infrastructure and stop blocking humanitarian aid. [7] Senator Merkley's amendment would prohibit the transfer of cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia. [8] Urge Claire McCaskill, Joe Donnelly, Mark Warner, Bill Nelson, and Joe Manchin to publicly back the Young and Merkley amendments to stop arming Saudi Arabia's war crimes in Yemen by signing our petition.

Co-Sponsor Khanna-Massie to #StopSaudiFamineInYemenReps. Khanna, Massie, Pocan and Jones have introduced a privileged bipartisan resolution - H.Con.Res. 81 [1] - to end unauthorized and unconstitutional U.S. participation in the Saudi war in Yemen, which has created the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, pushing millions to the brink of famine. Without U.S. participation, the Saudi-UAE war in Yemen would not be possible. The Khanna-Massie-Pocan-Jones bill invokes the War Powers Resolution to force a roll call floor vote on ending U.S. participation in the war. “We aim to restore Congress as the constitutionally mandated branch of government that may declare war and retain oversight over it,” Rep. Khanna and Rep. Pocan wrote. “It’s beyond time for the country to stop conducting refueling for missions over Yemen,” Khanna wrote. “Congress and the American people know too little about the role we are playing in a war that is causing suffering for millions of people and is a genuine threat to our national security,” Khanna said. Pocan said it was time for Congress to end the U.S. role in "this senseless, unauthorized conflict." [2] Urge your Representative to co-sponsor the Khanna-Massie-Pocan-Jones resolution by signing our petition. References: 1. H. Con. Res. 81, "Directing the President pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Republic of Yemen," September 27, 2017, https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-concurrent-resolution/81 2.

President Moon Jae-in, @moonriver365: Lift the Entry Ban on Juyeon RheeJuyeon Rhee is the coordinator for the Stop THAAD in Korea (STIK) peace delegation visiting South Korea hosted by the National People’s Action to Stop the Deployment of THAAD in South Korea (NPA). An entry ban was imposed by South Korean officials on Juyeon Rhee at LaGuardia Airport preventing her from boarding her Delta flight to Incheon. South Korean authorities' action to prevent Juyeon Rhee from entering South Korea is deeply disappointing in light of President Moon Jae-in's pledges to seek peaceful and negotiated resolutions to longstanding conflicts and to recommit South Korea to open dialogue and respect for democratic processes. Juyeon Rhee has demonstrated a life-long commitment to the desire of all Koreans for a peaceful resolution to decades of conflict. Urge President Moon Jae-in to immediately lift the travel ban imposed on Juyeon Rhee by signing our petition.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert R Naiman

Senator Schumer, Reject Trump's Plan to Renegotiate NAFTA!The Trump administration just released its detailed plan to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement. This plan makes it clear: Trump intends to use a new NAFTA to further attack our environment and public health. Congress can still stop Trump from succeeding. But it’s going to take strong resistance from Senate Democrats -- led by Minority Leader Schumer. Tell Senator Schumer: Reject Trump's plan for renegotiating NAFTA!2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Stocker

Oppose Bills Criminalizing Free Speech Against Settlements & Saudi ArabiaThe ACLU has written to Congress urging opposition to pending bills that seek to criminalize advocacy of boycotts against Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The ACLU warned that proponents of the bills are "seeking additional co-sponsors," and explained that the bills would "punish individuals for no reason other than their political beliefs." [1] MoveOn has joined the ACLU's opposition to the bills. "Regardless how you feel about BDS, Congress must reject action to criminalize free speech and peaceful protest. The Democrats in House and Senate must say no to H.R. 1697/S. 720," MoveOn said. “Free speech and peaceful protest are integral to democracy." [2] S.720 & H.R.1697 would erase the distinction in U.S. law between Israel and Israeli settlements in the West Bank and make it illegal for U.S. companies to boycott or otherwise discriminate against Israeli settlements in the West Bank based on calls by the United Nations or the European Union. [3] Moreover, the legislation would prohibit Americans from “requesting the imposition of any boycott by a foreign country against a country which is friendly to the United States.” This could be interpreted to prohibit supporting sanctions against Saudi Arabia for its attempts to push Yemen into famine, or for its support of extremist groups, or for prohibiting women from driving, since Saudi Arabia is inexplicably claimed by many in Washington to be "friendly to the United States.” [4] Urge your Senators and Representative to join the ACLU and MoveOn in opposing these unconstitutional bills by signing our petition.

@NikkiHaley: Back @UN Envoy @OSESGY Plan to Save Yemen from FamineUN Special Envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed has announced a plan to remove the governorate of Hodeida from the Yemeni civil war. The plan includes a ceasefire for the port, including the halt of any attacks on the port by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates [UAE]. [1] The UN-recognized Yemeni government and Egypt have reportedly announced their support for the plan, but the United States, a key party to the conflict because of its refueling of Saudi and UAE warplanes bombing Yemen [2], has not yet publicly stated its support. As Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy has said, "The Saudis simply could not operate this bombing campaign without us. Their planes can't fly without US refueling capacity." [3] Urge Nikki Haley, US Ambassador to the UN, to publicly state US support for the UN Envoy's plan to save Hodeida and Yemen from famine by signing our petition.
