Stop Kavanaugh — #MeTooMake things personal. If you are a constituent of a “yes” voting Senator, you have a chance to make yourself heard. Entitle the missive: “You Can Do Better.” If you are a domestic violence, rape, or sexual assault survivor send copies of your medical records and police reports to the following: YOU ARE NOT POWERLESS. Here’s what you can do to fight. Sen. Coons was visibly moved to do the right thing because personal friends called and told him of their sexual assaults: Call, write, fax, and show up to the offices of these Senators - Shelley Moore Capito Susan Collins Joe Donnelly Jeff Flake Heidi Heitkamp Dean Heller Joe Manchin Jerry Moran Lisa Murkowski Jon Tester This list is a combo of GOP Senators that are teetering on the edge of being decent human beings (or reasonable facsimiles) and a handful of red-state Dems who might need encouragement. Keep the pressure on. Even if you don’t live in their states, remind their staffs that you have every right to a voice because this SCOTUS decision affects EVERYONE in the United States for generations to come. Don’t succumb to hopelessness, despair, and rage. Use that power to fight back; use that power to change the trajectory of the future of this country. YOU CAN DO THIS. I know you can. I believe in you, I believe in all of us. Rest if you need it and ask for help if you need it because self-care is the key to survival and success. #MeToo You got this.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Celeste Wolfe

No Kavanaugh Vote Until FBI InvestigatesThe Supreme Court is the highest court in the land, with a lifetime appointment. Brett Kavanaugh should not be confirmed nor voted upon until the FBI does an investigation. It's the very least the Senate and White House can do. The American Bar Association agrees saying: "The basic principles that underscore the Senate's constitutional duty of advice and consent on federal judicial nominees require nothing less than a careful examination of the accusations and facts by the FBI." There is no reason to rush through a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the nation.7,353 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by Susan Madrak

Demand a thorough FBI investigation the Kavanaugh allegations before there is a hearing .Enough is enough. This country is in deep trouble given the behavior of this Congress, which borders on being traitorous. Follow the rules. Follow procedure. Conduct a real confirmation hearing, not fake, self-serving political farce.137 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Kevin Sullivan

Stop sexual predator Brett KavanaughOn September 16, Christine Blasey Ford came forward publicly about her experience of being sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s Supreme Court nominee. Thanks to her bravery, we now know that Kavanaugh, in addition to being a political danger to women, is a sexual predator. Ford’s story is horrifying. During a party in high school, she described how Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, tried to pull off her clothing, and covered her mouth as she tried to scream. Kavanaugh's nomination was already on the rocks before Ford came forward with her story. But now, the outcry over Ford's allegations is putting pressure on every senator to come out against Kavanaugh. In just 24 hours following the release of Ford's story, Republican Senators Jeff Flake and Bob Corker have joined Democrats in calling for Kavanaugh's nomination to be delayed and a hearing is planned for Monday. We believe survivors and we believe Christine Blasey Ford. We have all the information we need to know Kavanaugh should not be a Supreme Court Justice. If every Democrat and just a few Republicans come out against Kavanaugh's nomination, we have a real chance to stop this man from a lifetime nomination to the Supreme Court. Send the Senate a clear message: Brett Kavanaugh has no place on the Supreme Court of the United States.95,004 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by Shaunna Thomas, UltraViolet Action

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.82,365 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.

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
