Together, we call upon the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL to re-evaluate their current disciplinary measures and adopt a zero-tolerance policy for domestic violence. This would include mandatory comprehensive training for all athletes and staff on domestic violence and gender sensitivity, clear and stringent penalties for violations, and a transparent reporting system that holds individuals accountable regardless of their status.  By implementing these changes, professional sports can take a stand against domestic violence, sending a strong message that behavior off the field matters just as much as performance on it. Sign this petition to urge these leagues to enact these crucial reforms and ensure justice and accountability for all. 

President Trump is once again exploiting a crisis: using the suffering of those affected by the Los Angeles fires as a tool to push his voter suppression agenda. That’s right – he's threatening to withhold aid to the thousands of Southern Californians who’ve lost their homes, livelihoods, and communities to wildfire unless the state government sides with him to deny thousands of voters’ rights by passing a voter ID law.   And unfortunately, his friends in Congress are falling in line, with House Speaker Mike Johnson refusing to commit to helping his fellow Americans in need if there isn’t something in it for his party. Join us to tell Speaker Mike Johnson: don’t follow Trump’s lead in politicizing disaster aid. Do your job and deliver help to people who need it immediately.

Today, families across the country are worried — about their jobs, their grocery bills, making rent, paying for childcare, and whether a retirement fund they’ve built over decades will be worth anything amidst a shaky stock market.  Meanwhile, as Trump and Hegseth are pledging a record-breaking $1 TRILLION Pentagon budget, Congress is busy putting the final touches on a budget proposal that would pour another $150 billion into weapons and war, PLUS $175 billion more to pay to detain and deport millions more people.  This budget plan is a disaster for working families and a goldmine for war profiteers and private prison contractors.  Trump’s budget is a nonstarter, but we won’t stop it unless we speak out. That’s what’s so important about this moment: MILLIONS of people are already saying “Hands Off” our resources and our communities.  Our voices are how we’ll remind members of Congress we won’t stand for a budget that’s little more than a slush fund for weapons contractors like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing, which rake in HALF the Pentagon topline every year. Together, we’ll push Congress to rethink its broken approach and prioritize peoples’ needs — so please act now. Tell Congress: Reject this dangerous budget and invest in communities, not weapons and deportation.

After years of pressure from thousands of Common Cause members like you, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is finally gone – but Trump’s takeover of the Postal Service is just starting. Trump is now reportedly plotting a COMPLETE partisan takeover of our independent Postal Service – defying the Constitution, which clearly gives Congress, not the President, authority over the USPS.  But we know the rules have never stopped Trump, who has long wanted to privatize this essential public service at the expense of millions of Americans who rely on the Postal Service for receiving medications, sending letters to family, or casting mail-in ballots.  We must act NOW to nip this in the bud. If you agree we can’t tolerate any disruption to this crucial public good, join us today in telling Congress: Protect our Postal Service from Trump’s takeover >>

President Trump and Elon Musk are targeting our Social Security. That’s right – if Musk gets his way, we'd all have to wait hours in line and fight with confusing online forms just to access our earned benefits. And at worst, he could destroy the program entirely – all to line his pockets and those of his billionaire friends!  To be perfectly clear: if you’re a current Social Security recipient, you don’t need to panic – all payments are still going out as scheduled. But Trump and Musk are using a tried-and-true playbook: first get people scared about something that isn’t happening (i.e. undocumented people who don’t and can’t collect Social Security getting checks,) then use that fear as a battering ram to slash services and get rich at our expense. We can’t give a single inch on this one, or they’ll take a mile. If you agree we can’t tolerate any disruption to this crucial safety net, join us today in telling Congress: keep Elon Musk’s hands off our Social Security!

 Rochester is in the midst of a housing crisis. Current resources do not meet the current needs. • There are 635 homeless adults and 570 beds for adults (without children).  • There are 415 families living homeless with children and 310 beds. For many houseless people, there is nowhere to go instead of living outdoors. The current administration firmly believes they are conducting simple "relocations". By technical definition, a homeless sweep is, "the forced disbanding of homeless encampments on public property and the removal of both homeless individuals and their property from that area." The administration sends outreach workers, police and dump trucks into encampments, leaving our chronically homeless community with no safe space and without any belongings. Regardless of the label, in practice the current administration is conducting sweeps.

1. Protecting Children and Educators: Schools are meant to be safe environments. Joining this campaign helps push for laws that prioritize the safety and well-being of students and teachers. 2. Preventing Tragedies: Gun violence in schools has led to heartbreaking losses. Banning guns from campuses can reduce the risk of shootings and save lives. 3. Creating a Peaceful Learning Environment: Fear and anxiety have no place in education. Removing firearms from schools helps students focus on learning rather than survival. 4. Sending a Message to Lawmakers: Every signature shows that people care. A strong collective voice can influence real policy change at the local and national levels. 5. Standing Up for Common-Sense Safety Measures: Most Americans support reasonable gun laws. This campaign is not about politics it’s about protecting people and preventing preventable violence.

Drug and alcohol addictions kills thousands of people every year.  

The RMP combats food insecurity. Guam is not immune to the challenges of hunger. Implementing the RMP ensures equitable access to nutrition for individuals who may not have the means or facilities to cook their own meals. The RMP empowers local businesses. The program provides an economic boost to participating restaurants, creating new opportunities for growth and community engagement. The RMP supports vulnerable populations. The elderly, individuals with disabilities, and those experiencing homelessness often face unique challenges in accessing food. The RMP offers dignity and choice in meeting their nutritional needs. We believe that passing Bill No. 78-38 (COR) is not only a compassionate and inclusive decision but also a pragmatic step toward fostering a healthier and more equitable Guam. We urge I Liheslaturan Guåhan to take immediate action and make the Restaurant Meals Program a reality on our island.

Public broadcasting provides Americans with access to local news, educational programming, and independent journalism without corporate and political influence. Public broadcasters like PBS and NPR are beloved and crucial to communities across the nation, but Republicans are attacking these institutions with the goal of defunding public broadcasting.  We can fight back by letting MAGA know that public broadcasting is for the people and can’t be defunded or bought by billionaires! 

An executive order issued by the Trump administration on Friday night, March 14, calls for the elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the nation’s only federal agency for America’s libraries. The following statement was made by the American Library Association: Americans have loved and relied on public, school and academic libraries for generations. By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration’s executive order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted of American institutions and the staff and services they offer: • Early literacy development and grade-level reading programs • Summer reading programs for kids  • High-speed internet access • Employment assistance for job seekers  • Braille and talking books for people with visual impairments • Homework and research resources for students and faculty • Veterans’ telehealth spaces equipped with technology and staff support • STEM programs, simulation equipment and training for workforce development • Small business support for budding entrepreneurs To dismiss some 75 committed workers and mission of an agency that advances opportunity and learning is to dismiss the aspirations and everyday needs of millions of Americans. And those who will feel that loss most keenly live in rural communities.  As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nation’s 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 billion people every year.

Town halls are ways for constituents to provide feedback directly to their elected officials to make sure that their concerns and expectations are heard.  When Republicans returned to their districts in February, they were met with the full force of their constituents’ frustrations. They should be taking in that feedback and returning to D.C. to do their job addressing the needs, concerns, and demands of the people they were elected to represent. But instead, they're planning on hiding from their constituents in the upcoming recess, while they continue to ram through Trump and Musk’s wildly unpopular and disastrous plans, slashing services and funding that everyday people need, and giving tax breaks to their billionaire friends. Not on our watch.  We need to remind members of Congress who they answer to.  Not Trump.  Not Musk.  Not just a few billionaires.  Earlier this month more than 75+ MoveOn members from Iowa District 1 urged local representatives to host town halls. But we have to keep up the pressure. Sign the petition to make it clear to Congress that come recess, we expect them to host town halls and office hours, because they answer to the people.
