Urge House members to support the "Not My Boss' Business Act"We came very close to fixing the Supreme Court’s sexist Hobby Lobby decision in the U.S. Senate. But Mitch McConnell and his allies in the Senate blocked the “Not My Boss’ Business” Act from even getting a floor vote. We know where the Senate stands – now we need to put every member of the U.S. House of Representatives on record. And we need you, one of the 7 in 10 pro-choice majority, to help. Contact your representative now and tell them to support the "Not My Boss' Business Act."23,851 of 25,000 SignaturesCreated by NARAL Pro-Choice America

Tell President Obama: Religion doesn't justify anti-gay discriminationThe ink is barely dry on the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision, but already conservative activists are trying to use "religious freedom" as a justification for firing people simply because they're gay. The White House is currently preparing an executive order that would prohibit federal contractors from discriminating against their employees. But yesterday, Rick Warren and other religious leaders sent a letter formally requesting that President Obama allow religious organizations that receive federal tax dollars to discriminate against LGBT employees. Most Americans, including most Christians, believe it's morally wrong to fire someone just because they're gay -- but the media is reporting on this letter as if its 14 signers speak for all of Christianity. So we're launching an emergency petition to show the White House just how many people are outraged that religion is being exploited to justify anti-gay discrimination.120 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Michael Sherrard

Boycott Hobby LobbyHobby Lobby has won the right in court to impose their religious beliefs ontheir female employees by denying them birth control coverage, which is both an attack on their female employees and the ACA. We need to protect women's healthcare and the rights of workers everywhere.94 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Gilbert

Whole Foods, Stop Carrying Eden Foods!I am a physician and reproductive rights activist. I am shocked that Eden, a company that "sells" good health, subscribes to the religious ban on birth control that has caused women so much sickness and misery--historically in the US and right now throughout the world. See http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(12)60609-6/abstract Whole Foods is the place I have bought my Eden products in the past. It would be highly effective if this giant corporation took responsible action. Tell Eden that good health is more than food.185 of 200 SignaturesCreated by H. Joan Waitkevicz

Tell Congress: "I support birth control and I vote."Unbelievable. The Supreme Court just sided with right-wing ideologues and gutted women’s right to birth control coverage under the Affordable Care Act. That means that at certain private corporations, decisions about women's health are left up to their bosses. We need to show Congress and politicians in November that women won't stand for this. Because right now, candidates and party leaders are trying to figure out how to respond, and right-wing politicians are planning more attacks on birth control. Our job is to make clear this simple fact: if you don't support affordable access to birth control, you don't support women--and that will cost you votes. If tens of thousands of us say this with one loud voice, candidates and elected officials will distance themselves from this decision and we'll begin the process to build our majority for birth control and reverse this decision. Take action and sign!27,056 of 30,000 SignaturesCreated by Nita and Shaunna, UltraViolet

Protect Peace Corps VolunteersRight now, if a woman serving abroad in the Peace Corps is raped and needs abortion care, she’s on her own. That’s because federal law does not allow abortion coverage for women in the Peace Corps – even in cases of rape, incest, or when her very life is threatened. The U.S. Senate is leading the charge to end this inhumane policy, but without support from the House this outdated rule will continue to unfairly punish women in the Peace Corps. Tell your representative to cover abortion care for Peace Corps volunteers who’ve survived rape or incest, or whose very life is threatened during pregnancy.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by NARAL Pro-Choice America
