Indiana Democratic Party: Endorse Nathan Bogan for Indiana's 5th DisrictI have reached my breaking point with Republicans as a whole. For example, the 5th's current representative Susan Brooks voted for the AHCA -- I refuse to let my daughter have to deal with such a garbage system! It is time for change, from healthcare to income/racial/gender equality. Sign my petition... if I win, you have another progressive vote in Congress!72 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nathan Bogan

Congress: Vote NO on Trump's Saudi Arms DealThere's a big Congressional fight coming on Trump's Saudi arms deal. This deal is controversial because Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are using U.S. weapons to kill civilians and destroy civilian infrastructure in Yemen, deliberately trying to create famine in Yemen [1]; and because Trump's Saudi arms deal is widely seen as a U.S. seal of approval for escalation of the catastrophic Saudi-UAE war and blockade. [2] Senators Chris Murphy [D-CT] and Rand Paul [R-KY] [3] and Representatives Mark Pocan [D-WI] and Justin Amash [R-MI] [4] have introduced resolutions to block the sale. [S.J.Res.42 & H.J.Res.102] Urge your Senators and Representative to co-sponsor and vote for the resolutions blocking Trump's Saudi arms deal by signing our petition.

Tell Congress: No new oil drilling off the California coast!California’s coastline is one of the most majestic places in the whole world. Millions of families here at home and around the world enjoy our beaches every year. Yet Donald Trump and Congressman Dana Rohrabacher want to expand offshore oil drilling, which would devastate marine life, threaten fragile beaches, and jeopardize the economies of coastal communities like Orange County.351 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Harley Rouda for Congress

Providence's West End Supports the Community Safety ActDear Neighbor, As you may know, the Community Safety Act goes up for a vote with City Council on June 1st. This ordinance helps keep patrons and community members safer in a number of ways and enjoys overwhelming support from residents on the West Side of Providence and in Federal Hill, including by city council member Bryan Principe, and several endorsements by businesses and community groups on the West Side. A small group of neighbors and committed citizens is asking community members from the West Side and Federal Hill neighborhoods to publicly “sign on” for their support of this important legislation. The names and text of this letter will be delivered to Councilman Principe and the West Broadway Neighborhood Association (WBNA) board prior to June 1st. Dear WBNA Board and Councilman Principe, We, the undersigned, would like to publically announce our support of the Community Safety Act (CSA). We do so because we believe: ● The tenants of the CSA work to keep all community members safer within our homes, schools, and businesses. ● The CSA works to improve relationships between community members and the public safety officers charged to protect and serve us. ● The CSA is good for business, in that it allows a vibrant and diverse community of people within our neighborhoods to work and conduct their business here, ultimately keeping us all both safe and thriving economically. ● The CSA works to change biased policing practices and excessive incarceration which undermine our democracy and the economic stability of our communities. Please let this letter serve as a public document that shows the overwhelming support this legislation receives from Providence residents and businesses. We look forward to your continued support of the CSA and your vote to pass the bill on June 1st. Signed,60 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Natalie Tarr

Rep. Denham: Don't Devastate the ValleyCalifornia's 10th District is a diverse, growing district. President Trump's draft budget would devastate our communities and many of us who live here. Our member of Congress, Jeff Denham can help to stop President Trump's dangerous cuts. Some of the proposed cuts are: -Cutting health care for the poor, including $616 billion in cuts to Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program over the next decade. -$22 billion for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. -$143 billion from student loan access. -Eliminate $23 billion in farm subsidies that help to employ Central Valley residents. -and trillions more in devastating cuts. We need Jeff Denham to oppose this drastic budget and get to work focusing on passing a budget that helps all Americans, especially those most in need in places like the Central Valley.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cindy Reed

Define Dyslexia in Education LawMy son is one of hundreds of thousands of students who was left unable to read in our public school system. Hours of time were spent working with school districts; advocating for training teachers in structured literacy approaches - without this, my son would not have learned how to read. Ensure all children learn how to read in our state public schools - sign this petition for the first step. Hundreds and thousands of children across NYS and nationally go through school without learning how to read. It is a social injustice and is completely preventable. http://www.dyslexiaonlongislandny.org193 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Helen Roussel
