Bernie Sanders: Go on The Young Turks!I believe that Bernie Sanders is the only option for President of the United States. I believe he is the only one who can bring America back to the era of great prosperity that we once had. However, Senator Sanders needs more press coverage. He needs to galvanize his base. And who are his base? Progressive voters who want to reclaim America from the big banks, Wall Street, and corporate powers. We want to reclaim America from an establishment that only works to maintain the power of those who have NOT been working for us. Because of this, I believe that Senator Sanders NEEDS to appear on the largest online news network possible, one that reaches those voters. This network is The Young Turks. If Senator Sanders wants to galvanize his base, so they GET OUT AND VOTE, then his best decision is to appear on The Young Turks.36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert

Serra High School supports SB 876Junipero Serra High School is participating in a "Lenten Justice Project" where our focus is on raising money and awareness for the financially impoverished of San Mateo County. We also want to make policy changes. The bay area is a very expensive place to live. More and more people are becoming homeless because of the cost of living and low wages. We don't want to kick them off the streets or make criminals out of them for not having a place to call home. Our mission is to be in solidarity with and to fight for those who don't have a roof over their heads.143 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Serra Campus Ministry

Why is the EPA ignoring millions of US citizens?There are about 2.4 million people who live in the United States but are effectively ignored by the Environmental Protection Agency. How is this possible? They live in prisons. It is appalling that our government is exempting millions of people from basic environmental and health safeguards. Prisoners aren't the only ones harmed by this indifference -- prison guards, visitors, and neighbors feel the harmful effects of toxic policies. Tell the EPA: environmental justice does not stop at the prison gates.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alexander Rony, SierraRise

Honor LGBT history with a new monumentNew York City's Stonewall Inn served as a catalyst for the modern gay rights movement in 1969 after an early morning police raid outraged the city's LGBT community. With the stroke of his pen, President Obama can establish a national monument and secure an everlasting legacy for this iconic landmark. He already has the backing of LGBT advocacy groups and local community leaders. Help create the nation's first national park unit focusing on LGBT Americans!178 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Alexander Rony, SierraRise

Remove the Classification 1 from Cannabis/MarijuanaIt is the right thing to do, it is necessary to do; we must end the destroying of hundreds of thousands of young lives by criminalizing them for a harmless natural substance wrongly criminalized to enhance profits over people.66,885 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Eric Bruce Eichbauer

Nuclear Security Summit: 15,000 Nuclear Weapons Do Not Keep Us SafeOn March 31, world leaders will gather for the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, D.C. to take steps to prevent an act of nuclear terrorism. Their approach is focused solely on securing nuclear material. The world's 15,000 nuclear weapons -- which pose a far greater risk of catastrophe -- aren’t even on the agenda. There can be no such thing as "nuclear security" so long as nuclear weapons exist. If we're serious about preventing a nuclear catastrophe, what we need now is a Nuclear Weapons Summit that brings the key countries together to discuss real, time-bound, actionable plans to eliminate nuclear weapons. Join us as we tell these leaders it’s time to put this at the top of the international agenda!426 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Liz Merrow

Extend the Moratorium for Adams CountyPlease send your message today and call the Adams County Commissioners at 720-523-6100 insisting that they renew the current moratorium on drilling permits immediately—at least through the November elections, when statewide ballot measures may provide additional rights and protections to communities. Adams County is being targeted for scores of new, polluting oil and gas wells near homes and schools. Oil and gas production facilities release dangerous toxins and ozone-precursors into the air; place communities at risk for spills, fires, and explosions; and impose other unacceptable burdens on residents. The Adams County Commissioners must act now to renew the current moratorium until the November elections. Please send your message to the Commissioners immediately. Thank you.717 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Lauren Swain

Light Rail: Run After Bars Close!Sound Transit's Link Light Rail has recently expanded to include service to Capitol Hill and UW. While this is an excellent addition, the last service both to and from these areas is before 1AM. Most bars close at 2AM, leaving riders to take a taxi or rideshare back, so instead some people choose to drive - and then drive home drunk. Expanding service until 2:30AM on Fridays/Saturdays and 1:30AM on other days would not only help decrease drunk driving but likely be cost effective given the high demand of Seattle's excellent bars, which are now served by the new stations. This petition is to request that the Sound Transit Board of Directors expand operating hours for the good of public safety and service to our community.3,184 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Powell

Tell Amazon: Dump TrumpDespite Donald Trump's sexist, racist comments, Amazon is promoting and profiting from him and his brand. The online behemoth sells Trump's line of menswear--even though companies like Macy's bailed on Trump's brand of hate last year. Trump is inciting violence at his rallies and spewing vitriol that white supremacists like David Duke love. So why is Amazon continuing to support the Trump empire? Many of us use Amazon, and the company has responded to our pressure before over the selling of sexist products. It needs to follow suit when it comes to Trump products. Will you add your name now?68,277 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Nita and Shaunna, UltraViolet

Required Testing for High School StudentsStudents are being forced to take tests that don't accurately represent their abilities, and they aren't able to show their abilities in real life situations. I have been made and am being made to take these tests that don't show how capable I am to learn and apply my abilities to real life situations.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Wesley Williams
