Accessibility is not just about ramps and elevators—it is about respect and inclusion and the type of community we create at Fordham. Many of our residence halls today—particularly Martyrs’ Court—currently bar students with mobility issues from being an active participant on campus. That means friendship, late-night discussions, study breaks and all that college offers beyond just class work are out of the question if one's living facility is inaccessible. If a residence hall is not accessible, then so is the community that is built there. Even if this matter does not directly affect you, it does affect your classmates, your friends, your future roommates. It decides who feels welcomed and who does not. By signing this petition, you are supporting the belief that all students should have access to the complete Fordham experience—not only in the classroom, but in all aspects of our campus. You're making it clear that we value one another and won't tolerate physical spaces creating unseen divisions. This is our opportunity to make Fordham better-for ourselves, for the current students on campus, and for all who will come afterward.

Over 80 million Americans rely on Medicaid. Cutting funding would strip away mental health support, emergency services, maternal care, and more — services that keep our neighborhoods safe and healthy. These cuts would leave millions without the care they depend on to survive. We ask you — as our voice in Washington — to take a stand. Protect Medicaid. Protect people.

Drug and alcohol addictions kills thousands of people every year.  

The RMP combats food insecurity. Guam is not immune to the challenges of hunger. Implementing the RMP ensures equitable access to nutrition for individuals who may not have the means or facilities to cook their own meals. The RMP empowers local businesses. The program provides an economic boost to participating restaurants, creating new opportunities for growth and community engagement. The RMP supports vulnerable populations. The elderly, individuals with disabilities, and those experiencing homelessness often face unique challenges in accessing food. The RMP offers dignity and choice in meeting their nutritional needs. We believe that passing Bill No. 78-38 (COR) is not only a compassionate and inclusive decision but also a pragmatic step toward fostering a healthier and more equitable Guam. We urge I Liheslaturan Guåhan to take immediate action and make the Restaurant Meals Program a reality on our island.

The right to access abortion is under attack—and without the Trump administration’s commitment to protecting access to medication abortion, state governments must step in.  By stockpiling mifepristone, states can help ensure that if access is threatened, patients can continue to access this safe and effective medication, which accounts for the majority of all abortions in the United States. This is a practical and necessary step to protect abortion—and we need other states to follow suit, now. Sign the petition urging all governors to start stockpiling mifepristone. 

The latest grants canceled by NIH represent millions of dollars in lost funding for projects aimed at improving vaccine access and educating communities. This research is essential to ensuring families have the tools and resources they need to make informed health decisions, especially during outbreaks like the one we're seeing now. The White House also slashed grants connected to COVID-19 research, with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) calling it a "non-existent pandemic" despite continued hospitalizations and deaths across the country. Grants that were cut include ones meant to improve vaccines for infectious diseases like COVID-19, yellow fever and Zika, as well as grants for researching Long COVID. Vaccine hesitancy is a growing threat that undermines efforts to control preventable diseases and protect the most vulnerable among us, including young children, immunocompromised people, and older folks. These grants save lives. Ending them now, while we're witnessing a resurgence in a disease that was previously eradicated thanks to vaccines, is dangerous and puts us all at risk. Sign the petition to demand NIH and HHS restore these grants and invest in the health and safety of all Americans.

Recess is a time for members of Congress to return to their home states. They should be using this week to meet with their constituents, give space for their concerns, and take that back to D.C. Instead, House Republican leaders are now reportedly telling their offices to avoid holding public events when they are home for March recess. Tim Burchett had scheduled a town hall for March 16, but canceled it citing concerns about "professional instigators" (The Hill). This is the opposite of the directions Democrats are receiving—with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries encouraging all members to connect directly with constituents to talk about the Republican-backed attacks on key services like Social Security and Medicaid embodied by Elon Musk's actions and the Republican budget.  Tim Burchett was elected to represent us—he should not be hiding from his constituents. Period.  Add your name to the petition to demand that Tim Burchett host a town hall or public office hours during the congressional recess! 

Town halls are ways for constituents to provide feedback directly to their elected officials to make sure that their concerns and expectations are heard.  When Republicans returned to their districts in February, they were met with the full force of their constituents’ frustrations. They should be taking in that feedback and returning to D.C. to do their job addressing the needs, concerns, and demands of the people they were elected to represent. But instead, they're planning on hiding from their constituents in the upcoming recess, while they continue to ram through Trump and Musk’s wildly unpopular and disastrous plans, slashing services and funding that everyday people need, and giving tax breaks to their billionaire friends. Not on our watch.  We need to remind members of Congress who they answer to.  Not Trump.  Not Musk.  Not just a few billionaires.  Earlier this month more than 75+ MoveOn members from Iowa District 1 urged local representatives to host town halls. But we have to keep up the pressure. Sign the petition to make it clear to Congress that come recess, we expect them to host town halls and office hours, because they answer to the people.

Here are some reasons why you should sign my petition: 1. Safety first: Distracted driving is a major cause of accidents. An app that tracks phone usage can help reduce distractions and make roads safer for everyone.  2. Lower Insurence rates: If Insurence companies can monitor and verify safe driving behaviors, they might offer lower premiums to drivers who avoid using their phones while driving.  3. Accountability: Such an app can encourage drivers to be more responsible and accountable for their actions behind the wheel, leading to safer driving habits.  4. Community Impact: By reducing the number of accidents caused by distracted driving, the entire community benefits. Fewer accidents mean fewer injuries and fatalities. 

While republicans may be receiving "marching orders" to avoid town halls, it is up to us, the people, to demand them and to ensure members of congress who support the current administration answer to their actions and the impact it will have on individuals and community alike.

The Tuscana Planned Development threatens the heart of our wetlands and the headwaters of the Everglades. This ecologically vital area should be among the most protected due to its significance in water filtration, flood mitigation, and wildlife habitat. The surrounding area is already experiencing substantial flooding, with taxpayer dollars continuously allocated toward mitigation efforts. If this development moves forward, destroying this critical natural buffer will eliminate the only viable location for emergency water pumping. This will inevitably cause floodwaters to backflow into vulnerable areas, even during minor rain events, exacerbating an already pressing issue for residents.

Since day one, Trump has attacked abortion rights, issuing executive orders that attack access and cut federal funding for care, and now EMTALA is on the line. The very people who authored Project 2025 have called for the reversal of the Biden administration’s guidance that the law protects the right to an emergency abortion. Doctors and medical providers don't want to refuse patients emergency medical care, and they shouldn't have to risk going to jail for helping to save a patient's life. Sign the petition to call on the Trump administration to enforce EMTALA nationwide.
