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!27,054 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 The U.S. Senate is leading the charge to end this inhumane policy, but without support from the House this outdated rule will continue to unfairly punish women in the Peace Corps.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

Tell the Virginia Board of Health: Medicine, Not PoliticsIn 2013, the Virginia Board of Health finalized onerous and medically-unnecessary restrictions designed close women’s health centers that provide comprehensive reproductive health care, like cancer screenings and birth control, as well as safe, legal first-trimester abortion. The Board ignored the advice of medical experts and the input of thousands of Virginians, instead bowing to political influences intent on shutting down women's health centers. The Department of Health is now reviewing these restrictions and will decide whether they should be rewritten. Join us in submitting a public comment and tell the Health Commissioner and Board of Health to repeal and rewrite these politically-motivated restrictions to protect women's health and safety by relying on medicine, not politics.777 of 800 SignaturesCreated by ProgressVA.org

Tell The Washington Post: Fire George WillThe Washington Post actually just published an opinion piece mocking sexual assault survivors and saying that women want to be raped. The author, conservative columnist George Will, goes so far as to write that colleges are making "victimhood a coveted status" by taking public steps to curb sexual assaults on campus. He even implies that non-consensual sex is not rape, when in fact it's the very definition of rape! George Will makes his living writing columns that many people disagree with. But his latest column has gone too far. Rape is a serious crime--accusing women of making it up and arguing schools shouldn't be addressing sexual assault puts both women and men at risk. By publishing George Will's piece, The Washington Post is amplifying some of the most insidious lies that perpetuate rape culture. It's not just wrong--it's dangerous.46,431 of 50,000 SignaturesCreated by Nita and Shaunna, UltraViolet
