Guns have no business on college campuses except in the hands of trained police officers.

Exxon deceived the public and its investors by lying about the vast and threatening impacts of climate change for decades. Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson joined 17 other state AGs to "jointly explore potential investigations" into whether fossil fuel companies like Exxon have contributed to the devastating cover up. Four AGs have confirmed an investigation is ongoing in their state--but Ferguson has not. Just as Ferguson has stood up for consumers against companies that lied to the public about donating to the campaign against GMO labeling, it is time to once again hold a major corporation like Exxon accountable.

This petition is about the thousands of people who live in the state of Illinois who do not have a voice. This is about more than passing a budget, this is about what can be done to help others and saving the state from financial ruin. Social service agency are closing daily because they cannot keep their doors open, people are living on the streets because the state cannot put aside their pride and pass a budget. This has to end, or more and more people with suffer at the hand of the Illinois government, and this state will be in financial ruin. Please sign this petition so governor Rauner can see that it is affecting the lives of the people he has sworn to protect.

Most players are annoyed with Wizards decisions regarding Ukraine. Especially with the decision to put all WMCQs in the same city for two years in a row. That's unacceptable. I'm going to boycott these games just because it's not fair for our community.

I live across the street at 1843 Cherokee and can see the eminent decline of our neighborhood if this project is approved. We will have zero street parking unless this hotel is required to provide parking to its guests in the 24 units it plans to build. We will have noise at all hours of the night with guests coming and going and we will be inundated with transient visitors, opening the door to drug dealing and partying. Urge Mitch O'Farrell to protect our community instead of trying to make a profit from greedy developers, setting a precedent for more affordable apartment buildings to be converted to hotels. Mitch O'Farrell can initiate a 245 that would allow other council members to know what's going on here behind closed doors, and vote to stop it!

We will have zero street parking unless this hotel is required to provide parking to it's guests in the 40 units it plans to build.

When the DNC excluded Tim Canova from VAN access, they thought it would shut his campaign down. Instead, this pro-campaign-finance-reform, anti-SuperPAC candidate is fighting back against a corrupt establishment to give us all access to democracy.

I am trying to run for Prom King at my school, but am unable to due to my school's resistance and insistent discrimination against my transgender identity (FtM). In addition to this, I am unable to use the male restroom or receive respectful identification from said administration. Update: I am allowed to run for prom king, as well as other trans students being allowed to run as what they identify as! This is most definitely a victory, but the battle is only half completed. My school still refuses to respect and acknowledge my gender identity in respect to restroom usage. Please sign this petition and help support my cause!

It is heartbreaking seeing my trans friends parent's come into schools demanding that they address their son as their dead names and their dead pronouns. Something that can be so easily avoided. Once fourteen we have rights to our mental health and using our correct names in schools is essential to our mental health. We the youth are American citizens in public federally funded schools whose jobs are to make schools inclusive and welcoming safe places. How are students supposed to respect transgender students if the authority figures don't. Teachers need to set the example and pronouns are that. Schools are all about education. How does this not correlate? The constitution is supposed to protect all of us- our age does not exclude us from the protection of the constitution. Our rights are valid. 1 of 3 of transgender youth have attempted suicide.

We believe that no one should be financially destroyed if they, or a family member, were to contract a terminal disease, and so we believe it is our responsibility to collectively support our citizens in such dire times, as we recognize the objective truth that humans have always lived and thrived in communities, and never as "lone wolves." The main ethics problem with universal healthcare is that doctors are not a commonly shared resource. They have sacrificed thousands of hours of their lives to learn the healing sciences, and they should not be penalized when we seek to provide universal healthcare for all citizens. To prevent penalizing doctors, a logical and fair proposal is hereby submitted: Tax Churches, Not Doctors. In order to provide universal healthcare, without effectively penalizing our #truehealers, does anyone have a problem with doctors not paying federal income taxes? We hope that churches will also contribute their fair share of taxes in order to live up to verses like, "But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?" We believe the solution is simple: Tax Churches, Not Doctors.

Donald Trump revealed what we have known for a long time: Anti-abortion zealots in the GOP want to punish women. Many PA State Representatives are jumping on Trump’s “Women Must be Punished” bandwagon. This ban is part of the plan by anti-choice zealots to punish women and criminalize doctors who perform abortions. Here is what you need to know about 20-week bans: 20-Week Bans Are Part of an Agenda to Ban All Abortion: The introduction of these bans doesn’t come in isolation. They’re part of a dangerous, out-of-touch, and coordinated effort to chip away at abortion access. Anti-abortion politicians in the General Assembly are pushing their agenda, bit by bit, to ultimately outlaw abortion completely. 20-Week Bans Criminalize Doctors: Politicians shouldn’t have the right to take options away from doctors in dangerous medical situations or prevent them from informing patients about all their health care options — and politicians certainly shouldn’t be allowed to force a woman to carry a pregnancy to term with no chance of survival. 20-Week Bans Are Unpopular: These bills — and the extreme agenda they are part of — are deeply unpopular with the public. When Americans understand the real-world impact of 20-week bans, a solid 60 percent of voters oppose them. In fact, 78 percent of Democrats, 62 percent of Republicans, and 71 percent of Independents — say this is the wrong issue for legislators to be spending time on. 20-Week Bans Are Unconstitutional: 20-week bans are unconstitutional and a clear attempt to erode Roe v. Wade at the expense of women’s health. In fact, 20-week ban proponents are outspoken about their goal to challenge the 1973 Supreme Court decision protecting a woman’s right to safe and legal abortion.
