Citizenship of Unborn ChildrenI am a firm supporter of the pro-life movement, and I believe that one of the greatest obstacles in fighting for the right to life is that there is no clear defining legislature that specifically states when an unborn child is granted rights as a citizen of the Unites States. With this petition, we may all be able to make a difference in our local government by making this solution into a reality.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Yeunseo Jung

Close Donald Trump's Twitter AccountEveryone in the country has been affected by the hateful rhetoric of Donald Trump but his recent messages inciting hatred toward Muslims are particularly disturbing as are many of his racist tweets. Twitter must not allow this to continue. For any other user, they would not.157 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ron Coleman

Replace Matt Lauer with one of the women NBC pushed out to keep him.Women like Tamron Hall and Ann Curry have been passed over [1] for far too long, giving the impression to generations of Americans that women just aren't good enough. It turns out that this negative judgement was being passed on women, both at NBC and most everywhere else, by predatory men who enjoyed keeping women’s status down [2] so that they could force female coworkers to indulge their perversions at the office. Like many other serial harassers in journalism, Lauer’s private behavior also seemed to spill into open, public contempt for women in his news coverage. [3] Did guilt motivate these men to try and prevent women from ever being in a position to hold them accountable? Did their sexual objectification of women keep them from taking any women seriously? Hard to say. All we can see is that their lack of respect for women was integral to every aspect of the behavior and views of the powerful men now outed as serial sex pests, and their iron grip on authority in the media world has stifled the careers of their female counterparts. [4] There’s only one way that we can be sure of breaking the cycle of rewarding predatory men by giving them ever more power. NBC News, please let’s try something new? When you go looking to replace Lauer, make an offer to one of the qualified women that you passed up for his sake.

Now a judge has ruled after an evidentiary hearing, that the City is obliged to implement it. It's time to move forward and ensure its effectiveness. No more delays.42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bianca Sopoci-Belknap

Twitter: Stop Enabling Trump's Anti-Muslim Hate SpeechDonald Trump's bigotry hit a new low, as he retweeted several anti-Muslim videos from the deputy of Britain First, a far-right fascist party in the U.K.--drawing condemnation even from Prime Minister Theresa May. This isn't the first time that he's used the social media platform to spread anti-Muslim rhetoric--and Twitter needs to stop pretending that Trump's hate speech doesn't have consequences. Since Trump took office, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has recorded a nearly doubling of anti-Muslim hate crimes. And in incident after incident, we've heard anti-Muslim slogans or even simply the name "Trump" used as a rallying cry before racist attacks. Enough is enough. Twitter can't continue allowing Trump to use its platform to encourage violence against Muslims. They need to shut down Trump's account and stop enabling his hate speech.13,237 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Linda Sarsour

Towing Industry Lighting StandardsI am a Wreckmaster in Michigan that has had way to many close calls with public motorists. From operating on the side of the highway to operating on city streets no one cares unless they see the 3 colors of oh crap; those colors are Red/White/Blue. I want to protect my fellow Wreckmasters not only for us as the operators but also for the loved ones and family tied to that individual.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen

In support of the real Al FrankenAl Franken is one of our most valuable public servants. He works hard and strongly supports women’s rights. His crude horseplay and unwanted French kiss were wrong, but in no way equate with the behavior of recently uncovered sexual predators.102 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Eloise Hamann

Ask Target to Stop Torturing Turkeys!Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) recently investigated Norbest farm in Utah and found sick animals being trampled and eaten alive. One of the largest turkey suppliers in the nation, Norbest touts its practices as “humane, with the health and comfort of the birds of paramount importance.” But DxE’s Open Rescue team found sickening cruelty. DxE found records showing hepatitis in the farm, as well as birds with massive tumors on their faces. Investigators saw live birds being ripped apart to pieces in the crowded, filthy locations and baby birds with their faces and toes cut off. While investigating the farm, DxE’s open rescue team saw Abby and immediately recognized that she urgently needed medical care - Abby was dragging herself across the farm with a crooked neck. Activists rushed her to receive veterinary care and, today, Abby lives happily at a sanctuary. While Abby is safe from harm, millions of other turkeys are suffering a horrific fate. Sign the petition and ask Target to cut ties with all animal-abusing suppliers. NorbestCruelty.com1,006 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Direct Action Everywhere

Never Forget Our PastTo save our history. I personally have not been affected by this but I see some bigotry in US not admitting Muslim refugees fleeing to a safe haven and not allowing them to enter! Like FDR turning away ships with Jews fleeing the Nazi concentration camps. NEVER FORGET! Protect our history so things don’t repeat1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Allan Goldstein
