Safeway, Starbucks and Target: Stop Bankrolling Anti-GMO Food Labeling Efforts!Safeway, Starbucks and Target have something in common: They’re all dues-paying members of the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA), a group that is determined to deny you the right to know if your food contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Last year, the GMA spent $2 million to help defeat California’s Prop 37, a citizens’ initiative that would have required mandatory labeling of GMOs in food products in California. (In all, GMA and its members contributed about half of the $46 million spent to defeat Prop 37). Now the GMA is at it again, pouring money into the campaign to defeat a similar initiative, I-522, in Washington State. By supporting the GMA, Safeway, Starbucks and Target are working to defeat your right to know. The battle in Washington State will have a huge impact on consumer rights. If I-522 passes, food manufacturers will likely reformulate their products, rather than label them. And if they reformulate their products in Washington State, they’ll likely reformulate them for all states – just as they’ve reformulated them in Europe and other countries that have GMO labeling laws. If we want the same right that consumers in 64 other countries have, we must demand that right. We must win in Washington State in November. We can start by making it clear to Safeway, Starbucks and Target that we won’t support their companies or their products, until they support our right to know and pressure the GMA to do the same.82,543 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by Katherine Paul, Organic Consumers Association

Hold Wall Street accountable for its discriminatory lendingLost in the story of Detroit's bankruptcy (the biggest municipal bankruptcy in history) were all the bankrupted dreams of the communities of color targeted for predatory home loans. Detroit had the highest foreclosure rate in the country at the peak of the housing crisis, and years later, homeowners like Rubbie McCoy, a single mother of four, are still dealing with the stress and fear of losing their home. Rubbie was the victim of predatory and discriminatory lending that devastated Black and Latino borrowers especially. And it wasn't just wrong--it was illegal. Now Rubbie is finally getting her day in court - as a plaintiff in an ACLU-backed lawsuit, by challenging Morgan Stanley for its instrumental role in racially discriminatory lending practices. But that's just the tip of the iceberg in Wall Street's role in discriminatory lending, in violation of the Fair Housing Act. What we need now is for the Department of Justice to do its part to stand up for all the Rubbies out there and finally hold all the big banks accountable for financing illegal and discriminatory lending practices. Sign the petition today urging Attorney General Eric Holder to take Wall Street banks to court for violating the Fair Housing Act.87 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ACLU Action

MoveOn: Stop Automatic SubscriptionsWe believe in choice and feel that should extend to letting us choose if we want to receive email from the "MoveOn family of organizations". We do not want to be automatically subscribed just because we sign a petition. Nor do we believe that people who only support certain issues or who are overwhelmed by email should have to go through the process of unsubscribing every time they sign a petition. This discourages participation in MoveOn Petition Campaigns.99 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Opt-In MoveOn

Allow underage performers in licensed establishments in PAPerformers under the age of 18 regularly perform in licensed establishments around Pennsylvania. From the Irish Dance Schools on St. Patrick's Day, to local musicians, to National Acts such as Taylor Swift; all have performed in licensed establishments and were enjoyed by those in attendance. Most of these acts had chaperones that ensure proper behavior during the performance. Enforcement of this section of the law is hurting the development of these young performers which may reduce their chances of succeeding in the entertainment business later in life. Quite frankly, if their presence in the establishment is legal, what is the harm in allowing them to perform?289 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Todd Bedard

Ordinary Americans for Common-sense Food ProductionWhy do American foods contain chemical additives that are intolerable to Europeans? Why is Monsanto given carte-blanche to contaminate our food supply with GMOs without our knowledge? Why is the agricultural industry using pesticides that are killing off our bees? What happened to common-sense food production practices that nourish people, sustain our planet, and allow family farms to survive and flourish? Rich or poor, left or right, we all need to eat and we all deserve access to toxic-free food. When did that stop being our basic human right? Let's join together as Americans in all our diversity and reclaim our shared, fundamental RIGHT to healthy, toxic-free, sustainably produced food.227 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Cantor
