President-elect Trump and his advisers have expressed opposition to U.S. wars that don't contribute to the fight against ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Therefore, they should oppose continued U.S. participation in the Saudi bombing of Yemen, because that doesn't contribute to the fight against ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Whatever one may think of the Houthi rebels in Yemen that the U.S. has been helping Saudi Arabia bomb, they are not ISIS or Al-Qaeda; they hate ISIS and Al-Qaeda. In fact, the U.S.-backed Saudi war in Yemen has contributed to the growth of ISIS and Al-Qaeda in Yemen. Urge incoming National Security Adviser General Michael Flynn to oppose continued U.S. participation in the Saudi bombing of Yemen by signing our petition.

We the People of the United States would like to urge your immediate response to the ongoing and escalating situation at the Dakota Access Pipeline near the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s reservation in North Dakota. Many of us have been following the situation very closely since late spring, early summer. We are very concerned about what we see on live video and what originally was not reported to main stream media. We are concerned about the ability of those at Standing Rock to have access to the bridge which has been shut down cutting off all traffic to the casino which is the livelihood of the tribe. We are also concerned about interference with access to the internet feeds which cuts the people at Standing Rock from allowing people to see what is happening on the front lines and having proof of the atrocities going on along with health and safety issues. The health and safety of the Water Protectors is paramount to ensure thei...

"My husband and son registered after 9/11 because we trusted and followed what was being demanded of us. We got punished for complying with the government. At the registrations, my family was abused and humiliated. We were put into deportation proceedings, and later, my home was raided by immigration authorities, who took me, my husband, and my daughter to detention, even though we had a pending asylum claim. My daughter and I were detained at a detention center for 11 days, and my husband was detained for six months. After his release, he was on house arrest for four years! The only way our family was able to endure and survive all of this and still be here was because of organizing with the rest of our communities to fight back." –S., DRUM Leader Donald Trump and his appointees have proven that anti-Muslim and discriminatory policies will be the hallmark of their time in office. But there are steps that President Obama can take right now to impede their policies. And we need to make sure he does. The idea of Muslim registry isn't new--and Trump doesn't even have to create the program from scratch. The Bush-era structure called National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS) already exists and can be reactivated again if President Obama does not act immediately to end it once and for all. [1] If Trump wants to implement a similar program, he will be forced to start from scratch and experience fierce resistance from grassroots movements and legal advocates alike. At DRUM (Desis Rising Up and Moving), we saw first-hand how our membership was adversely impacted by NSEERS like our leader S. who shared her story above. We heard from many family members whose male relatives went to register and were then detained for days—some never returned home. NSEERS registered over 83,000 Muslim immigrant men and put over 13,000 into deportation proceedings. Out of all the registrations and deportations, zero men were ever connected to any violent activity.[2] The program was a failure and will continue to be a failure if it is implemented again. We fear this program will not only be implemented again, but be used to target even larger segments of Muslim communities in the United States. Just because the future program may not mention Muslims specifically, just as NSEERS did not, does not mean that Muslim communities are not at risk. We will not stand for it. We will continue to fight against it as we have already done. But now—in this moment—we need everyone to pour their energy into making sure President Obama shuts this program down once and for all so that it does not end up in the hands of Donald Trump.

I am starting this petition because I feel that it is unfair for immigrants to get deported when they crossed the border to start a new life and have freedom.

Within days of our Election we have devolved to a state where there is no law and order in our land. This will destroy any legal system we have. Law-abiding citizens who hold respect for the body of the law are outraged that this Corporation is allowed to act with impunity, injuring and maiming Water Protectors on their own land, withheld from the United States by two Treaties which Mr. Warren and his Board of Directors intend to disregard - again. Is there no one in this land that can make this Corporation obey the law? Only us. Only us. Stand with Standing Rock because it is US!

UPDATE: There has already been a flurry of bigoted executive orders just a week into the Trump administration, including an unconstitutional Muslim ban that has already been temporarily blocked by the courts. Worse still, the white nationalist Steve Bannon has now been added to the National Security Council. It is *LONG* past time for Wall Street to speak up on behalf of its Muslim employees, its diverse workforce, and to show leadership in the face of Islamophobia and hate. --------- Every major Wall Street bank has staff associations devoted to minorities, including people of color, religious minorities, and LGBTQ people. Yet the big U.S. banks have been silent now that Trump has named both a white nationalist (Steve Bannon) and an anti-Muslim bigot (Michael Flynn) to his cabinet. In late 2016, the Ranking Members of the House Financial Services and Senate Banking Committees, Rep. Maxine Waters and Senator Sherrod Brown were joined by Rep. Keith Ellison and Senator Elizabeth Warren in a letter to financial services leaders, demanding that they condemn the appointment of Stephen Bannon to Donald Trump's administration. They asked the industry, “what message will it send to your customers and employees if you stay silent?” We agree. Wall Street must show its employees and its customers that the industry will not remain silent in the face of bigotry, prejudice, and white nationalism.

Voters of North Carolina have spoken, and have done so with clarity. Governor McCrory lost his reelection bid to Attorney General Roy Cooper, by a margin of 7,448 votes. McCrory has claimed voter fraud in more than half of North Carolina's counties, but an attorney monitoring the proceedings called these claims “silly, small in number, poorly researched and often defamatory,” which is undeniable. Even republican-controlled county election boards have forcefully rejected McCrory’s challenges, concluding that there is simply no proof of widespread fraud. Tell North Carolina legislators and the governor its over! Ask county election boards to not hear one more false accusation of election fraud and do not accept a single meeting request from McCrory to discuss any further. McCrory must concede the race and peacefully transfer power to Govenor-elect Roy Cooper.

This petition is about making Illinois Basketball great again.

I'm concerned that President-elect Trump has been abusing his power using this platform, and have been reading about multiple death threats to various journalists, and people who have "upset Trump." Most recently - as an artist/musician - I am deeply alarmed at Trump's attacks on the actors in the cast of Hamilton. The review in the New York Times on Megyn Kelly's memoir - which included her experience with Trump and his Twitter account - was my first clue that Trump's use of Twitter was something actually dangerous and not just entertaining.

An account called @thirstyf***boy posted a video of a man falling off of a building and turned it into comedy. Me, as a 24 year old is deeply disturbed by this and can't imagine how instagram's younger audience feels.

Save the American taxpayers from paying for unnecessary expenses because of a personal choice by 1 person.
