Hold Justice Alito Accountable!The New York Times has reported that the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito displayed a symbol that shows solidarity with the effort to overturn the 2020 election ... while he was hearing a case about that effort! [https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/us/justice-alito-upside-down-flag.html] The upside-down flag—a "stop the steal" image—is just the latest evidence that the partisan Republicans on the court cannot impartially hear or rule on cases related to the efforts to overturn the election, the January 6 insurrection, or Trump's claims of immunity. The revelation of this sign of partisanship and partiality on Alito's home is the latest in the trend of right-wing Supreme Court justices embracing conflicts of interest with relation to Trump's election cases. Justice Clarence Thomas's wife, Ginni Thomas, a leading conservative activist, took action to try to overturn the election results—yet Thomas did not disclose this while ruling on cases related to the insurrection and has continued to hear cases such as Trump's appeal for immunity. Because Chief Justice John Roberts has allowed these conflicts to go unchecked, the Supreme Court is at its lowest public approval ever—with the public losing trust in the institution's integrity and seeing it as the tool of a partisan right-wing agenda that it is. That's why it shouldn't surprise anyone that these partisan actors are overturning precedent and taking groundless cases to pursue an agenda that has torn up abortion rights, undone environmental regulations, and enriched and empowered corporations and billionaires. The only way to begin to restore any trust in this court—and to ensure any semblance of a fair hearing on Trump's baseless immunity claims—is for Alito and Thomas to recuse, or be removed by John Roberts. And the Senate Judiciary Committee—which has the duty to be a check on the Supreme Court—must investigate these conflicts immediately and take action to hold conflicted, corrupt justices accountable, including impeachment if necessary.149,754 of 200,000 Signatures

Investigate Dollar General for deceptive pricing practicesWith nearly 20,000 stores across 48 states, Dollar General and other discount retailers have become ubiquitous, particularly in low-income and rural areas. Often, they are the only retail option available, especially in food deserts—areas where affordable food is limited. These fraudulent practices further exploit the very people who depend on these stores the most. Dollar General's price manipulation isn't just a minor inconvenience; it's a calculated scheme driven by corporate greed that exploits our communities and undermines trust in retail fairness. Our communities deserve better. Join in fighting for justice and ensure that companies like Dollar General can't take advantage of everyday shoppers.926 of 1,000 Signatures

Change The New York Giants throwbacks pantsThe Giants have long been considered a cornerstone franchise in the NFL and have upheld traditions of winning and competing at the highest level. Since winning Super Bowl 46, the New York Giants have strayed from the long established expectation of excellence. I believe this 100th season is an opportunity to look forward into the future with hope and an eagerness to win. The pants are the perfect place to create this excitement and pave the path into our future to regain the success this team and fans deserve.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dave Varian

Remove Insurrectionist Ginni Thomas from the Board of the Library of Congress NOW!Evidence revealed in 2022 shows that Ginni Thomas texted Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows—as well as legislators in Wisconsin and Arizona—urging them to overturn the election results. And she even attended the Stop the Steal rally on January 6. The Trust Fund Board of the Library Congress manages over $200 million in donations for the library. We cannot trust an insurrectionist like Ginni Thomas to oversee and manage federal dollars. Ginni Thomas was a part of a group of far-right activists who pushed Trump to get rid of members of his administration who were thought to be “disloyal” to him and suggested that those members be replaced with people they chose. Months later, Trump nominated Ginni to the Board of the Library of Congress. Justice Clarence Thomas has a clear conflict of interest, and despite that, he has refused to recuse himself from Trump’s Supreme Court cases that would have implications for his wife. The corruption knows no bounds. President Biden has removed many Trump appointees from their posts. The time is NOW to remove Ginni Thomas from the board of the Library of Congress. Will you add your name to the petition?65,683 of 75,000 Signatures

Pass the CROWN ActRight now—in 2024—in 27 states it's completely legal to discriminate against people for wearing their natural hair. Formal and informal "dress codes" are used to shame and punish Black people for wearing hairstyles that are consistent with their natural hair texture. And for many in the Black community, it's about more than just hair. Locs, twists, coils, braids, and other natural hairstyles are an expression of identity. Discriminating against Black people for wearing natural hairstyles isn't only a violation of civil rights, it's a direct attack on Black culture. And it has real-life consequences. Black people are being robbed of job opportunities, education, and their dignity all because of racist policies designed to make them tone down who they are. The CROWN Act (Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair), a bill aimed at ending race-based hair discrimination in schools and workplaces for Black Americans and other communities of color, was just reintroduced in the Senate. Now is our chance to end hair discrimination nationwide. It's time to put an end to this. Sign the petition to urge Congress to pass the CROWN Act NOW so no one suffers the injustice of experiencing racial discrimination because of their hairstyle.1,679 of 2,000 Signatures

Day off for Eid - a major Islamic holidayThis campaign is extremely important in representing full equality for Muslim students and faculty throughout fisd. They are currently treated with injustice though being denied a day off from school on this major Islamic holiday in order to uphold justice toward these students and faculty.

Hands Off Rafah! And the entire Palestinian Territory!Since this conflict initiated, nearly 40,000 Palestinians (according to other sources, this number could reach close to 200,000, see information below) have been killed, over 90,000 wounded, and more than 1.7 million have been displaced from their homes, out of which numbers and for all categories above, nearly 50% are children including those under the rubble, and together 70% are women and children. The number of Palestinian children killed during this conflict since October 7th has been greater than the number of children killed in conflicts around the globe from 2019 to 2022 and it stands alongside the currently ongoing war in Sudan which began in April 2023, as it is also reminiscent of the killing rate since Rwanda in 1994 when comparing the total number of killed and injured civilians per day since the conflict began. The attack on children and women of this conflict is atrocious. It should not be allowed at this time of our human history and must be stopped immediately. On Wednesday 24th of July as Netanyahu prepared to address Congress, thousands of people gathered to protest his visit. Please read below: >"Over 130 Representatives and Senators decided not to attend Netanyahu’s address to Congress, including former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the likely Democratic nominee for President, Vice President Kamala Harris — far exceeding the 58 members of Congress who skipped his speech in 2015. As Netanyahu attempted to justify the slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, asking Congress for bipartisan support to “finish the job,” the lone Palestinian American representative in Congress, Rashida Tlaib, defiantly held up a sign that read “Guilty of genocide.” https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/2024/07/25/thousands-shut-down-the-capitol-to-protest-israels-genocide/?sourceid=1001761&emci=500e7860-a04a-ef11-86c3-6045bdd9e096&emdi=ea3eed58-a74a-ef11-86c3-6045bdd9e096&ceid=905615 From PalestinianSolidarityCC: • Based on Ministry of Health data, 351 martyrs and 893 injured arrived at hospitals from July 18-24.

CTA Safety and ReliabilityEnsuring the safety and reliability of public transportation in Chicago is paramount for the well-being of its residents and the city's economic vitality. A functional public transit system not only provides essential mobility for commuters but also reduces traffic congestion, pollution, and dependence on personal vehicles. However, recent disruptions and safety concerns on trains and buses not only undermine passenger confidence but also hinder productivity and increase the financial burden on commuters forced to seek alternative transportation options. Moreover, the unchecked behavior poses a broader societal issue, reflecting the need for improved mental health services and social support systems. By addressing these challenges through enhanced security measures with proper mental health training and regulating ride-sharing prices, Chicago can promote a safer, more accessible, and equitable transit experience for all residents, thereby fostering a thriving urban environment.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kayla Lewis
