#WilburGottaGo!Leaked documents included in the so-called "Paradise Papers," a trove of information about the offshore tax havens of some of the world's largest corporations and wealthiest people, have revealed that billionaire Wilbur Ross, a friend of Trump and currently Commerce Secretary in his administration, hid his current business dealings with Vladimir Putin's son-in-law. Ross is now understood to be involved in a financially lucrative shipping venture with Russian individuals currently under U.S. sanctions. This news comes as the Trump Russia investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller intensifies. There is no possible way for Ross to remain commerce secretary--and attend in a trustworthy manner to our nation's business--with such intense Russian entanglements and conflicts of interest. It's clear: #WilburGottaGo!659 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Jo Comerford

City of Hudson residents for inclusionA divisive group, consisting primarily of people from outside of Hudson, have formed "The Citizens for St. Croix Valley". They promote messages that do not represent the spirit of the residents of Hudson. This group fosters fear of Muslims, GLBT people, have mischaracterized educational programs to promote learning about world religions as promoting Sharia law and in general, encourage hate of "others".112 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Kerry Geurkink

Trick or Treat Day!By creating a "Trick or Treat Day" that falls on the last Saturday of October, more children (and adults!) can enjoy visiting neighbors and not have the worries of staying up or being out too late on a school/work evening. This does not affect the religious celebrations of Halloween that will remain on the 31st. As a parent myself, I understand the frustration of both parents and homeowners when trick or treating falls on a school night. Many love this tradition but when it lands on a day during the week, it becomes a burden for parents and homeowners alike. By creating a "Trick or Treat Day" across Massachusetts as the last Saturday of October, then the inconvenience is alleviated and those who celebrate October 31st as a religious holiday can continue with their annual traditions. We believe that starting Massachusetts "Trick or Treat Day" in October of 2018 gives state residents plenty of time to adapt to the new day of celebration and candy giving!20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alexis Anapolsky

Pledge To Protect: U.S. Congress, Pledge to Prevent Genocide"Whenever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe." - Elie Wiesel, Author, Nobel Laureate, and Holocaust Survivor After the Holocaust, the world said "Never Again." Yet today, global displacement as a result of conflict and atrocities has hit a record high. Conflicts in Burma, Yemen, Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, Central African Republic, Sudan, South Sudan, and elsewhere rage on despite billions spent on humanitarian relief, damage to regional economies, and enormous refugee crises. As a recent report by the humanitarian NGO Mercy Corps stated, "Just ten years ago, about 80 percent of humanitarian aid went to helping the victims of natural disasters. Yet today, 80 percent of aid is going to people whose lives have been turned upside down by conflict. The change has been so dramatic that the World Bank now recognizes conflict as the primary cause of poverty and human suffering -- not just one among various causes." As one of the most influential world powers, the United States has a moral and pragmatic responsibility to invest in and support genocide prevention efforts. Passing the Elie Wiesel Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act (GAPA) would be an immense step in the right direction, improving U.S. government coordination on atrocity prevention, providing flexible funding to respond to unforeseen crises, and requiring Foreign Service Officers to undergo atrocity prevention training. These policies would massively improve our ability to respond to and mitigate emerging atrocities. As we reflect on the lives lost to genocide and mass atrocities throughout history, we commit ourselves to fighting for a world without genocide and mass atrocities. We urge Congress to support GAPA, and invite you to #PledgeGAPAGAPA with us. The U.S. has long been a leader in the fight to end genocide; we must continue to lead on this vital bipartisan issue before more innocent lives are needlessly cut short.443 of 500 SignaturesCreated by STAND: The Student-Led Movement to End Mass Atrocities

!!!We Need The Bumper Plates!!!The NYU Brooklyn Athletic Facilities (BAF) made the decision to remove one of the most essential equipment -- the bumper plates. Gym members were in shock upon realizing there is not a single bumper plate left at the gym. The gym management team claimed that the removal of the bumper plates is for the safety of the individuals, and for maintenance of the equipment. However, without information on the number of incidents that are directly related to using the bumper plates and the damages of equipment that are proven to be caused by using the bumper plates, simply removing one of the most essential equipment is NOT an effective solution. In addition, it is claimed that people who work at the office located in the weight room have complained about noises from using the bumper plates. An office that is inside a weight room contains certain risks due to its inappropriate location and its poorly designed infrastructure. The effort of maintaining a "quiet" work environment for a cubicle located in a weight room should not be made at the expense of sacrificing the training of the very people who give essence to the gym.197 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Quinn
