News Organizations: Stop Showing Trump's Coronavirus BriefingsPresident Trump is dangerous to viewers. It's not just that he lies, it's that people believe him. An Arizona man died and his wife is in critical condition after ingesting a substance they thought was the one Trump touted as a cure for the disease. He lies about medical supplies. He lies about the number of sick people. He lies about the uses of social distancing -- and then contradicts himself. Please, do your jobs. Cover the press conferences and then report on them later. We don't need Americans exposed to a steady diet of disinformation. Thank you.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Susan Madrak

NY Release People Incarcerated for Technical ViolationsInmates are in very close quarters, visits are being suspended at all State prisons, inmates have relatively inadequate healthcare, and suppliers, like Walmart, are now refusing to deliver food and care packages to inmates. This greatly reduces the ability of family members to care for their incarcerated loved ones on their own. There is a petition circulating asking the Governor to release the elderly, pregnant women, and those with a compromised immune system. We started this petition because we believe that inmates who are there for simple technical violations should be included. A technical violation is when a parolee does not meet a condition of their parole but also DOES NOT commit a crime. These are things like failing to report for a scheduled visit, missing a curfew, or failure to gain employment. Releasing inmates who are locked up for non-criminal technical violations would help reduce the load on valuable resources New York State needs now to fight this pandemic, to protect the wellbeing of inmates who cannot be released and allow these inmates to return home and care for their family members during this trying time. Ohio was the first to release inmates due to COVID-19 concerns and we know you like to lead the way on innovative solutions to challenging modern problems. Please, Governor Cuomo, release parolees who have been incarcerated for technical violations due to COVID-19 concerns.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Orlando Dickson

WE CANNOT REMOVE COVID19 PRECAUTIONS PREMATURELYThe spread of Covid 19 is still rising at an ever increasing pace across the country. We are nowhere near the peak of this outbreak. Prematurely removing the controls now in place will be disastrous and result in a far greater spread of the desease, with far greater numbers of deaths. And that will have an even greater negative impact on the economy as well. PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. THANK YOU.300 of 400 SignaturesCreated by John Orabone

Postpone Simmons University GraduationAs many of you know, Simmons University has just decided today that they are going to cancel this year's graduation for the class of 2020 (both undergraduates and graduate programs). Many other seniors including myself are extremely heartbroken about this situation and the transition to a virtual graduation that our University’s administration plans to make. After the years of hard work we have put into our education, we believe that we deserve much more than this. We have dedicated our past four years and our tuition to Simmons, trusting them to educate us in a way that would make us feel prepared, and I strongly believe Simmons owes us a live graduation. The purpose of this petition is to urge Simmons University administration to not hold a virtual version of graduation but rather hold a physical commencement to honor both the undergraduate and graduate classes later in the summer or fall after this period of self-isolation and social distancing when it is again safe to have such a large gathering. It is very important that we are honored in the same way that all of the Simmons University classes have before us, and how future graduates will eventually be honored as well. I urge you all to sign this petition in order for seniors to be able to celebrate our achievements together one last time.3,176 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Casey Wright

Child care could be gone because of coronavirus! #FundChildCareAccess to child care is in crisis right now and possibly far into the future with disastrous consequences. Parents unable to make copayments due to loss of income. Providers who are in a real and present danger of closing permanently without financial relief. Emergency workers who can’t access much needed child care. Something has to be done. As a nation, we are on the verge of losing more than half (yes you read that right - MORE THAN HALF) of our child care programs in the next week IF there isn’t significant public investment and support. There are over 2 million paid providers and educators in the U.S., and we cannot afford to lose them! Without child care, frontline workers won't be able to continue doing their essential jobs and, as we emerge from this crisis, we may find there is no child care system to return to as families go back to work and school. Providers who are open are struggling without support for public health training, and working in hazardous conditions for long hours. We need to support them in their critical role in our public health infrastructure. And families -- including frontline workers -- shouldn't have to worry about how they will afford child care in this time. SIGN NOW to urge Congress to provide at least $50 billion in child care funding to ensure the stability of our child care system so parents and caregivers have child care to return to when this crisis is over!438 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Sue Anne MomsRising.org

Provide adequate support for small businesses shut down due to COVID-19Many of us are the only providers for our families. Many of us are sole-proprietors and can’t even qualify for unemployment benefits. We have to furnish our own medical insurance, and if we can not run our business we cannot pay for our medical expenses either. We are in the worst possible situation here. Madam Speaker, we are so proud of what you are trying to do for America. Please, do not leave small businesses in the lurch. When all of this is over who will cut your hair, who will launder your clothes, who will treat your aches and pains and soothe your worries? People like us. Please, remember us when you are fighting for the Disaster Relief measures on the house floor and in Senate.316 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Anya Yudin-Baehrle

We support your suggestion to release federal prisoners convicted of nonviolent crimes nowThis petition is important to encourage the president to act on his own suggestion. Especially medical prisoners need to be released so they can get the care they need to prevent coronavirus and for the medical challenges that sent them to specialized medical facilities. And to free prison resources to be used where needed.212 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Mary Olson

Emergency Rent & Debt CollectionAs a group, the working class of Stockton have been financially devastated by the critical and necessary measures put in place to slow the spread of COVID-19. Though the federal or state government may eventually provide relief, the immediate conservation of our limited financial resources is necessary for our own and our family's health and well-being. Rentors, Leasors, banks and other relevant institutions can, as a class, seek their own relief; the state and federal government is much more responsive and historically more likely to act on their behalf. We must protect our limited cash flow immediately. What happens in May when I owe 2 months rent? Or June when I owe 3? I won't be evicted now because they don't want me on the streets but will they evict me then? The rent needs to be forgiven while I CANT WORK. What happens when the businesses who can't reopen fail and millions are looking for work? Rent and Mortgage moratorium (no rent or mortgage collection), forgiveness (you will never owe it), deferment (interest or payments are frozen and moved forward) are absolutely necessary to our current health and well being, and our economic future.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emily Lawrence

ALL Poor People Must Qualify for Financial Relief During the Coronavirus PandemicAll of us have added expenses during the Coronavirus Pandemic. No one is immune or exempt. Without added income, we cannot pay our rent, stock up on food and supplies, purchase medication, or pay our bills. It is not just those out of work or who make between $12,500 and $75,000 that are suffering. We need to give *all* residents in our country the best chance at survival we can and reduce the potential impact on our economy and healthcare system by continuing to force people to find work and the means to survive, spreading the virus further and prolonging the impact of the pandemic. If we exempt people from government-provided financial relief, then we are putting their lives at risk. Our goal should be to save as many people as possible. NO POOR PERSON SHOULD BE EXEMPT! We should *all* qualify for the government help we need to survive and thrive.175 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Amanda Siebe
