Fight for RightsOthers should join our fight for rights! Prisoners in Missouri were given the right to an attorney. If they cannot afford one, one is appointed to them. So why is this right not given to the ones under guardianship? A psychiatric evaluation after a year in a locked facility will show the progress of one's health. Placing them in front of a Judge will get the courts more involved with their cases. When placed in a 24 hour 7 days a week locked down facility you are not given any amount of time that you will be in this facility. It could be a year it could be 12+ years. Prisoners are given an out date, but the non-criminal mentally ill are not given this right.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Katelynn Wood

Stop For-Profit Takeover of Organ Donation: Make Congress Protect Lives!The magnitude of this legislation passing cannot be underestimated. It marks a shift in focus from serving those in dire need to favoring those who can afford to pay the most. This blatant disregard for the core principle of organ donation, which is to save lives based on medical urgency, not financial capabilities, is a betrayal of the trust bestowed upon organ donors. We cannot let profit-driven motives erode the fairness and ethical foundations of organ transplantation. We must raise our voices and protect a system that unequivocally values life over financial gain. By removing a legal requirement that has been in place for nearly forty years, which mandates only nonprofits with experience in this field can bid on contracts to manage the system, the door is opened for profit-seeking entities to exploit the vulnerable and turn the selfless and altruistic gifts of donor heroes into transactional commodities. We refuse to compromise the profound impact of organ donation by placing financial gain above human well-being. This petition invites all who have been touched by the miraculous act of organ donation – including transplant patients and waiting candidates, organ donor family members, caregivers, and concerned citizens – to have our voices heard and demand the federal government acts responsibly. Our petition does not represent any particular organizations, associations or other groups within or outside of the organ donation and transplant system, nor are we doing this in the interest of any such groups. We are patients and donor families, parents and friends, and everyday men and women who in one way or another have been touched by the noble gift of organ donation and the lifesaving surgeries it enables. We also do not oppose any true efforts to improve the organ donation and transplant system. However, we oppose seeing those efforts subverted to the benefit of for-profit companies, which would jeopardize human lives. Let us stand united in protecting the lives of patients, honoring the generous gift of organ donation, and safeguarding the nonprofit status of our organ donation and transplant system. Sign this petition today and add your voice to the rising chorus of those who believe that compassion, not profit, must guide the U.S. organ transplant system. Together, we can ensure that organ donation remains unyielding, accessible, and dedicated only to the welfare of those in need.42,870 of 45,000 SignaturesCreated by Patrick McGlone

Stop the Texas Abortion Ban; Support Zuwarski's and 4 other women's lawsuitPro choice does not automatically mean against life. More lives can be saved and future lives can exist if the ban is removed. This is an issue that is personal to the person making the decision--no one else knows what a single woman's experience is during a pregnancy -- choices about each person's health should be in the sole power of that individual and not made illegal. Please support the lawsuit that 5 women have brought against Texas and support the moral and humanistic and democratic initiatives of the Center for Reproductive Rights whom is assisting in the lawsuit.579 of 600 SignaturesCreated by David Odum

Reproductive Health Equity ActJoin my campaign for the women who will die bleeding out due to unviable pregnancy’s. For me who left an abusive relationship just to have a pregnancy scare and need Plan B. For your neighbor down the street whose little girl was raped and now expected to give birth at 13. For your moms and sisters and aunts and grandmas to continue having the same freedom of bodily autonomy that men have had since the constitution was first written. I know not everyone agrees and I know the majority of Tennessee is a hostile state when it comes to being pro-choice. But we are no longer just talking about aborting baby’s. Now we’re being threatened with unsafe sex that will cause a spread of infections and diseases all over the U.S. and it’s complying states. They’re telling us we are incubators. That we are nothing more than the set of ovary’s in our body’s. That even with the current rights we have, they can still take them away. Women live in fear everyday. Fear of the man waiting outside the grocery store, fear of the man walking our same pace on the sidewalk, fear of our male teachers, etc. But now we have to fear the government and our state governors. The individuals who are set up in order to protect our rights and freedoms. Again I’ll say that it is perfectly fine being pro life! The important part is being pro choice for everyone else. I’m hoping we can put our religion aside and remember that this is a crime against humanity.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kara Edwards

Dining Dollar Access for AllThroughout this institution’s history, we as students have been left to fend for ourselves as our concerns and demands fall on dismissive ears.

Sign this petition to show Davidson that its students want dining dollars to be used to improve accessibility, whether it be at Commons Market or Wellness Wendy630 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Phoebe Olszowka

We Need A National Standard For Measuring Our Lymphedemic Body PartsLife is not kind. At any moment, any one of us could be in a situation that leads to the development of lymphedema. Some us are even born with lymphedema. A consistent measurement technique for lymphedema is essential to better track and understand the progress of lymphedema by the patient and by our caregivers.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anna Gorman

Reopen the college to the publicSign or don't you understand the reason. I do want you to know though I've seen hard times. Not what you think you think your grandpa died and that was hard, so I will give you my story just ask me. No I have been to rock bottom and the only thing that kept me moving forward was the college recreation center.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Skylar Emhoff

Representative Schrader: Support Medicare and allow them to negotiate drug prices with Big Pharma!Americans pay some of the highest prescription drug costs in the world. Medicare, which is in place to serve those most in need, and which is responsible for a large amount of Pharma business, cannot negotiate drug prices to benefit those who need them and cannot afford them. This is just plain wrong.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Callie Palmer
