Support Dr. Christine Blasey FordTroubling content in Kavanaugh's high school yearbook further reflects out-of-control drinking, partying, and disrespect of women. Julie Swetnick says she was drugged and raped at a party where Brett Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge were present. Other times, she witnessed the two engaging in harassing and threatening behavior toward young women. Deborah Ramirez also says Kavanaugh exposed himself to her in college and made forced sexual contact. I am personally haunted by the way Anita Hill was treated and my lack of action to support her. We stand in support of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez, and Julie Swetnick. Their allegations deserve a respectful audience and response from the Senate. We believe them.82,372 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by Piera Cirillo

NHDP Disinvite Alec Baldwin from the Eleanor Roosevelt DinnerThis petition is expressing disgust with the NHDP's choice to headline the first annual Eleanor Roosevelt Dinner, Alec Baldwin. We feel this choice of speaker is a blatant slap in the face to the MeToo Movement and respect for women.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Liquori

Tell Senator Collins to defend women's rights and vote NO on Kavanaugh!I am a woman's advocate and have lived through a time when women's rights were in the hands of men when women had to beg permission to protect their own bodies. Roe is part of a proud legacy fought for and won by hundreds of brave resilient women. How can we relegate it to the whims and ideology of one man? There are currently at least 13 abortion cases which could make their way to the Supreme Court should Kavanaugh be confirmed, and it's no secret that anti-abortion activists hand picked him to carry out their agenda. How can we relegate it to the whims and ideology of one man? Senator Collins must listen to the people of Maine as a key vote in rejecting Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation.800 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Patricia Fogg

Clear Falls High School Dress codeGirls at high school are being dress coded and forced to change into longer pants because of Nike shorts, an athletic attire that most girls wear all of the time for comfort and because there are people in sports who require the proper clothing, i.e. Nike shorts. These shorts are not distracting to the other students in class, and the administration is inherently reprimanding girls by banning these shorts. They are wasting more time looking at our shorts when they could be using their time offering valuable education, as opposed to taking time to send girls to the front office and making them change clothing. High schoolers are tired every morning, statistically, teenagers need more sleep than any other age group. With this said, along with the rigorous AP classes and work every student is getting, people are tired. They wear Nike shorts for comfort. Nike shorts are not provocative in any sense, unless the administration is putting that incentive on girls.1,268 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Haleigh Wong

Strip DA Jeff Rosen's Pension Like He Stripped VictimsCutting the tax payer waste from the Santa Clara County DA's office for consistently failing victims of sexual assault, rape, domestic violence and fraud in the county's family law cases.

BMX Girls Are Experts, Too!My 6-year-old daughter asked me why girls aren't called "experts" in BMX. Not allowing girls to be classified as "experts" is an outdated gender-based stereotype that impacts the development of our kids. The girls in BMX should be granted the same honor that boys are granted after they work their way to the ultimate proficiency in amateur BMX racing.738 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Jenny Morgan

Don't let the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. WadeThe stakes are high for women's reproductive justice issues. Many states, including Mississippi where I live, already have restrictive laws on how women can control their own bodies. Healthcare facilities are under attack, too. A new conservative justice will all but ensure a government attack on women's bodies. I grew up as a fundamentalist evangelical where pastors preached about controlling women's bodies through restrictions on abortions. A major turning point in my life came when a Catholic hospital refused to treat me while I was in the middle of a miscarriage because they considered it an abortion. They sent me home where within hours I almost bled to death. It was awful, and I am lucky to be alive today. If we're not willing to be relentless in fighting Trump, Pence, and McConnell in every peaceful way possible they will get what they want. They have already proven that by throwing out their so-called family values while looking the other way as Trump uses language unfit for even a high school class president. The Trump-Pence nightmare has already used the courts to hurt workers, families fleeing violence, the LGBTQ community, Muslims, and people of color so we have every reason to believe they will expand the assault to women as well. It's a core part of their identity. It's the regressive vision they have for America. Sign the petition telling the White House and Senate that they must hold the Supreme Court seat open until after the 2018 midterm winners are sworn in, and only then should they work together to find a fair justice who will protect the rights of all people in our nation including those who are protected by Roe. v. Wade.8,581 of 9,000 SignaturesCreated by Laurie Bertram Roberts

Boycott Walgreens because of pharmacist refuses to fill prescription on religious beliefI disagree with Walgreens policy of pharmacist not providing services because of religious beliefs and then not following Walgreens policy of: "You have a right to step away, but you don’t have a right to step between" I disagree with Walgreens policy, which is active in 6 states. Walgreens needs come out of the dark ages and respect a woman's right to control their own bodies. And not have male pharmacist deny them services I am asking for support by boycotting all Walgreens till they change their policy and/or fire/or discipline this employee592 of 600 SignaturesCreated by avery

Women’s Health RightsEvery year globally, 22,800 women die from lack of access to safe reproductive healthcare. We are starting this campaign because at this time, of the 40-50 million abortions performed each year, 45% are considered unsafe and 14% undeniably dangerous. We hope that through this petition, we can take a step towards a future where finding reproductive health care doesn’t come at a detriment to one's safety.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Madison E.

Revoke sales tax on feminine sanitary suppliesPads, tampons, and cups are necessary for women's health, if there are no taxes on food because it is a need, why should there be taxes on supplies which are pertinent for the health of women? Women are discriminated against because of their menstrual cycle, which is natural and uncontrollable. The amount of money that is added by sales taxes can make an essential product for women not affordable to those who struggle financially.304 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Savannah Larmon
