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

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

Support the only Women Of Color cannabis healing dispensary in Venice Beach!When one of the founding members of Cannabis Vision Partners discovered her mother had breast cancer there was no where she could take her mother to for a safe, knowledgeable and comfortable experience at a dispensary. This was 14 years ago. Today not much has changed. We now have "apple store" style dispensaries and not one but TWO MedMen dispensaries approved by LA city council to operate in Venice, but none of them cater to women's needs and none of them are owned by women and certainly not women of color. Women and particularly women of color are the most disadvantaged when it comes to healthcare and almost invisible when it comes to natural healing. The needs of women and women of color are not being met in health and in business. One of the fastest growing industries is cannabis and currently the community of Venice Beach is being dominated and monopolized by greedy male corporations- essentially keeping out any women and especially women of color. This is a healing industry and the need for women focused healing is being neglected and we need change. You can make a difference for all women of color who choose to heal themselves with natural medicine and not with addictive pharmaceuticals and for women who want to make a difference in their communities. It all starts with someone like you who cares about women's needs.141 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Yvonne DeLaRosa

Lower prescription drug prices now!President Biden has vowed to lower prescription drug prices. And now, Congressional Democrats are focusing on HR 3, the Elijah E. Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act, a measure that will allow the federal government to directly negotiate lower drug prices. This bill previously passed the House but stalled in the McConnell graveyard-of-a-Senate. But now we have a chance to pass this legislation with or without Republicans, and we must demand Congressional Democrats do just that. Democrats can and must attach this bill to the infrastructure and jobs package. This legislation will then have the chance to be passed via reconciliation and provide the relief from soaring drug prices we need while avoiding Republican roadblocks. We must demand Congress include HR 3 in the Build Back Better budget reconciliation package to ensure we have a fighting chance at lowering drug prices that have become unaffordable for millions of Americans! 3 Democrats, Scott Peters (CA), Kurt Schrader (WA) and Kathleen Rice (NY) voted against this provision in committee, and some Senators have indicated they don't support it. They need to hear from us NOW! Sign the petition: Congress include HR 3 in the infrastructure package and address soaring, unaffordable drug prices in the U.S.3,159 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Laura Packard

Get Alex Jones' merchandise off of AmazonAlex Jones is a far-right conspiracy theorist profiting off a huge fake news empire via his InfoWars website, talk shows, and consumer products, who personally "helped jumpstart" the January 6 insurrection. Which is why it's completely unacceptable that Amazon sells Jones' merchandise and dietary supplements, even going so far as to host his online storefront. Facebook, Apple, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, Spotify, and PayPal have all banned Alex Jones for hate speech violations. Amazon forced Parler, a far-right social media platform, offline by suspending them from their AWS hosting platform after the January 6 insurrection, ultimately causing Parler to go into hibernation for months. And yet, Amazon is fine collecting their 15% off of Jones' Super Male Vitality Natural Stamina Liquid Drops and other unregulated so-called nutritional supplements. It's time for Amazon to pull the InfoWars Store and stop profiting off of hate speech peddler Alex Jones.78,922 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by Chris Ennis

Maui County Council - Form a COVID19 Recovery Special CommitteeEver since the launch of the Safe Travels program in October 2020, Maui County has been struggling with rising COVID 19 cases endangering the health, safety and economic recovery of the residents and businesses in Maui County. Since December 24, 2020, Maui County has been experiencing the highest per capita case counts in the State. The last few weeks Maui County has also had the highest testing positivity rates in the State. A Special Committee composed of public health experts including local DOH staff and other medical professionals, small business owners, County officials and nonprofit partners could help Maui bring its COVID numbers down, prioritize effective public health and safety expenditures, improve public information and enforcement of mask use and other safety protocols, streamline the vaccination process and accelerate the overall recovery process for the County. Unlike any private COVID task forces convened by the Mayor, a Special COVID19 Committee authorized by the County Council would be an open and transparent policy advisory body that is subject to public meeting and records laws.164 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Anmarie Mabbutt

Include Long-Term Care in MedicareThe absences of long-term care coverage in Medicare is one of the biggest, and most tragic omissions in the care it pays for. Without this change in Medicare coverage, long-term care recipients and their immediate families are forced to liquidate everything they ever owned to pay for care, until they are so impoverished that they become eligible for Medicaid. Care facilities currently are notoriously fraught with nightmarish inadequacies, as Medicare's own review process, as well as state level reviews, demonstrates, and this is true throughout the US. Making them dependent upon Medicare for funding will impose accountability on them and result not only in more people who need it getting care but in all patients who need such care getting a high standard of care.6,017 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Joseph Aimone
