Make Bernie the NomineeThis is a very critical moment for us all, as well as a grand opportunity. Many of those who have nominated Clinton now must realize their fatal error and anxiously seek a way to overcome it. The only viable option is to replace Hillary with Bernie, and do it asap. The struggle continues, and victory is certain, if we act quickly and massively.101 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Werner Lange

Canada Lynx Need Greater ProtectionWestern Environmental Law Center is a nonprofit environmental law firm. Our expert attorneys have long been effective in Canada Lynx protection. For example, in a September 6, 2016 court victory, a federal court ordered the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service to reexamine lynx critical habitat (land designated by the federal government as essential to the survival and recovery of a species). WELC also recently obtained a court order requiring the Fish and Wildlife Service to prepare a recovery plan to guide management of the species after a more than 14 YEAR DELAY. WELC continues to demand enhanced protection for lynx and supports the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife’s proposal for endangered status for the species.1,114 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Goeth, Western Environmental Law Center

Citibank: Stop Funding the Dakota Access Pipeline!In North Dakota, over a thousand people representing more than a hundred tribes are gathered along the Cannonball River by the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation to resist the construction of the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline.

Honest Coverage of CandidatesI am tired of turning on news channels and seeing constant bashing of Hillary Clinton while continuing to see interviews with Trump while he spouts his lies and inuendos and is rarely challenged.52 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Monica Robinson

.@cityofurbana: Join @CityMinneapolis To Say #NoDAPLOn Monday, September 12, we will rally at Urbana City Hall at 6:30 pm. [1] We'll be calling on Mayor Prussing and the Urbana City Council to follow the lead of Minneapolis [2] in supporting the water and land protectors at Standing Rock. We'll present this petition urging them to call on President Obama to instruct the Army Corps of Engineers to revoke the permits for the Dakota Access Pipeline. On Friday, the Obama Administration said it would stop construction on a critical stretch of the Dakota Access Pipeline until it can do more environmental assessments. [3] This is a very welcome move by the Obama Administration. We want this welcome pause to be made permanent. To address the threat to people around the world of climate change, we need to keep more fossil fuels in the ground. A great place to start is by helping Native Americans protect their lands and water from unwanted fossil fuel development. Sign our petition urging Mayor Prussing and the Urbana City Council to pass a resolution against the Dakota Access Pipeline, like the City of Minneapolis has.

Tell The American Bar Association To Rescind Its New Policy Supporting Second-Class Justice For R...We are a group of outraged parents whose daughters were subjected to second-class treatment by their colleges. Forced to endure woefully inadequate investigative and disciplinary proceedings that did not comply with civil rights laws, we watched in horror as campus officials cavalierly exonerated offenders whose brutal acts of violent discrimination against our daughters deserved punishment. Only after the fact did we learn that school officials had subjected our daughters to second class treatment during the investigation and hearing process. We were then shocked to learn that the American Bar Association had recently recommended that schools subject victimized women to second class treatment, even though women suffer far more violence on campus because they are female than does any other class of student suffer violence because of their race, religion, etc. Violence against any woman is a civil rights offense against all women. That an organization like the ABA, which purports to be dedicated to ensuring equal justice for all, would mock the very idea of gender equality in education, especially on the virtual eve of the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage, is profoundly disturbing. Please join us in this important initiative to repeal the ABA's discriminatory policy, and voice your support for full gender equality in all schools. For additional information, you may also go to www.pushforequaljustice.org. Feel free to share our message and website with others. Thanks for your support!1,260 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Allison Frank

Department of Justice: Investigate Pam Bondi's Connection To Donald TrumpFlorida's Republican Attorney General, Pam Bondi, personally solicited and accepted a political contribution from Donald Trump while ignoring complaints of fraud at Trump University from Florida Residents. The Orlando Sentinel has chronicled how Pam Bondi received a $25,000 campaign contribution from the Donald J. Trump Foundation in September of 2013, just three days after her office announced it would not join a New York lawsuit that accused Trump University of fraudulent practices. Even worse, Donald Trump held a fundraiser for Pam Bondi at his Mar-a-Lago property less than a year after Bondi passed on the Trump University Lawsuit. Pam Bondi has not answered any questions from the media regarding her Donald Trump’s political contribution, and any illegal activity between Bondi and Trump has not been investigated by Florida prosecutors. If we want to protect the public trust and ensure that Florida residents are protected from fraudulent schemes like Trump University, then we need to hold corrupt politicians like Pam Bondi accountable for their unethical behavior. We demand that the U.S. Department of Justice launches an investigation on the unethical behavior between Pam Bondi and Donald Trump.765 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Juan Escalante
