Trump must testify and fully comply with the Jan 6 Committee's subpoenaDonald Trump just SUED the January 6th House Committee, his latest attempt to dodge testimony and hide the truth about his role in the deadly attack on our Capitol. Since the onset of this crucial investigation, Trump has done nothing but try to obstruct and discredit the Committee. He has clearly put himself high above the law – and thinks he shouldn’t be held accountable for his criminal efforts to overturn the 2020 election. If he is as innocent as he says he is, testifying shouldn’t pose any problem – Trump should welcome the opportunity to exonerate himself. But all he’s done since being subpoenaed is double down on his 2020 election lies and conspiracies – and his refusal to face the Committee speaks volumes. Seven former Presidents have testified before Congress, so there is clear precedent for Trump to testify. Congress must show Trump once and for all that ignoring this subpoena is not an option. We the People deserve nothing less. Add your name if you agree: Donald Trump is not above the law – and the House must vote to hold him accountable if he doesn’t fully comply.102 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Keep Donald Trump off Twitter and FacebookFacebook and Twitter both made the decision to remove Donald Trump after the deadly January 6 insurrection. He had propagated lies about the election results, sought to overturn the outcome and seize power, and stirred up the violent attack on the Capitol—which he then defended. This followed years of him spreading vile, bigoted hate speech and dangerous disinformation. His years of harm were given wide latitude by the social media platforms as an elected official. But after January 6, they said enough was enough. In the intervening years, Trump has continued to lie about the election results, share propaganda from white supremacists, and pedal QAnon conspiracy theories. And as the January 6 committee has made clear, his actions were part of an intentional, willful effort to hold power and overturn the rightful election of President Biden. Now, Trump is in the news again, preparing for another presidential run. Facebook will face pressure to reinstate him as a public figure. And Twitter—under the ownership of the narcissist Elon Musk who has used the platform to attack Democrats and spread conspiracies himself—could give Trump back his megaphone any day. It's imperative there are consequences for illegal and violence-inciting behavior, and for public figures to be held accountable for spreading conspiracy theories and disinformation online. Facebook and Twitter owe it to their own uses, their advertisers, and the public to keep Donald Trump off their platforms.13,250 of 15,000 Signatures

Abolish slavery in Texaswe demand that the practice of forced labor with no compensation be abolished immediately, that inmates be compensated financially for labor like the rest of the United States. This may prevent inmates from becoming a burden on their families or communities upon release, and may prevent releasesees from reverting back to crime out of desperation from lack of financial means, reducing recidivision. .We are asking that incarcerated individuals be paid for their labor or, In the alternative, we asked, demand, that inmates be given one day off their sentences for each day of work. This would be an incentive for inmates to want to work and stay out of trouble, so they can work, decreasing prison violence. It would be a win win situation for all And the right thing to do!120 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lavelle Evans

Condemn Trump's reckless schemes and enforce consequences for election deniersDonald Trump’s disinformation machine is already preparing to call to overturn midterm election results in swing states… before most voters have even cast their ballots! You read that right – over the past few months, Trump has mobilized extremist attorneys and dark money groups – all towards a desperate attempt to reverse any results he doesn’t like. Make no mistake – this effort will likely fail, just like it did in 2020. But that doesn’t mean it can’t cause lasting damage to our democracy. And the most worrying part? Trump reportedly views this as a “dress rehearsal for Trump 2024.” Sign the Petition: Condemn Trump’s reckless plans to undermine our democracy – and urge the DOJ to keep enforcing consequences for elections deniers to make sure these plans don’t succeed.82 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

STOP GUN VIOLENCEAn estimated 40 percent of the gun transfers that occur each year in the United States—more than 6 million gun transfers—originate from private sellers. Such private sellers often congregate at gun shows or sell guns online. This creates an easy opportunity for dangerous individuals who are ineligible to possess guns under federal law—felons, persons adjudicated mentally ill, and other prohibited people—to bypass a background check and obtain a weapon with no questions asked. Why Now Gunfire was probably the last thing U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her constituents expected to hear during their Saturday morning town hall meeting in a Tucson grocery store parking lot. But by the time the last shot rang out on January 8, 2011, six lay dead or dying and thirteen more were injured. Rep. Giffords, the gunman's target, was shot in the head. She survived, but faced a long and difficult journey to recovery. Among those who lost their lives were a nine-year-old girl, a federal judge, and one of Giffords’ staffers. Stopping gun violence is crucial because it's a leading cause of death and injury, impacting individuals, families, and communities. It also carries significant economic costs, impacting healthcare, justice systems, and businesses. Addressing gun violence requires a public health approach that considers both firearm access and underlying factors contributing to violence.4,572 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Dhaval Patel
