Americans deserve elected officials that are beholden to voters, not outside influences or their own personal financial interests. That’s why we’re worried about the massive conflicts of interest looming over a Trump presidency. President-elect Trump controls more than 500 businesses, with assets valued at over $1.5 billion. There are simply too many opportunities for Trump to use the powers of his office to increase his personal wealth. The only solution is to sell these assets off and set up a blind trust. Just one example: The Trump Organization just opened a new hotel in the Old Post Office Pavilion in Washington DC. The property is leased from the federal government through the U.S. General Services Administration, the head of which will be appointed by President-elect Trump. That’d make Donald Trump both landlord and tenant -- and any questions or disputes regarding the terms of the lease or maintenance costs of the property will directly impact President-elect Trump’s personal finances AND U.S. taxpayers' finances. We cannot tolerate this massive conflict of interest. Nearly every president in modern times has set up a "blind trust" to avoid this -- where an independent trustee manages the officeholder’s assets without the officeholder's involvement or knowledge of where they're invested. Trump’s proposed solution is to put his children in charge of his company -- but that's not even close to the same thing. A truly blind trust must be managed independently, not by his family. And even if the President-elect were to put an independent manager in control of the Trump Organization, it still wouldn't qualify as a blind trust because Trump has full knowledge of the Trump Organization's assets, holdings and business partners. Voters deserve better -- Donald Trump must sell all of the Trump Organization's assets, and set up a blind, independent trust to manage his wealth while he serves as President. Add your name today to demand that President-elect Trump put his assets into a blind trust.

A hero to White Supremacists has no place in American government.

The Georgia NAACP and other progressive organizations are committed to defend against this proposal and others in the pipeline aimed at retrogression of civil and human rights. We have a new president-elect but the Constitution is still the same. We will not take a step backward on civil and human rights!

Donald Trump wants to require all Muslims to register in a national database; to carry special ID cards; to be tracked by the government. He is citing World War II internment camps as a precedent for proposed Muslim registration. During the election, a reporter from NBC asked him: “Mr. Trump, why would Muslim databases not be the same thing as requiring Jews to register in Nazi Germany?” He had no answer. The idea that any group of citizen should be singled out, profiled and discriminated is profoundly un-American and immoral by any religious standard. The world said, “Never again” to Hitler’s genocide, when we say “never again” we mean it in regards to everyone.

To stop Steve Bannon from being a strategist for President Elect, Donald Trump by having the people in power denounce him due to his questionable history with Brietbart News.

Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) recently investigated Jaindl Turkey Farms, the famed supplier of Thanksgiving turkey to the White House for the past 50 years. While Jaindl has been rated in the top 98th percentile for animal welfare, investigators found thousands of baby birds in cramped and filthy conditions, taken away from their mothers, and with their beaks seared off. Many turkeys were unable to walk due to broken limbs. In the course of the investigation, DxE rescued a turkey and named her Avery (PresidentsTurkey.com). President Obama, a self-proclaimed animal lover, has the opportunity to take a strong stance against violence this Thanksgiving. Sign the petition and ask President Obama to pardon all the turkeys presented to the White House and cut ties with Jaindl and other animal abusing corporations.

A president is obligated to make decisions for the benefit of the country without any thought of personal or familial gain.

Mitch McConnell held up Merrick Garland's appointment to the Supreme Court because he wanted to hear the voice of the American people. The American people have now spoken and given 2 million more votes to the Democratic candidate than the Republican candidate. The Senate must therefore either confirm Garland or have Hillary Clinton make the next appointment.
