US Coast Guard: Reopen the channel behind Ellis IslandThis petition is about restoring public access to a protected and navigationally critical part of New York Harbor that small boats could use to bypass the busy, tidally active and potentially dangerous main channel. It asks the Coast Guard to weigh very specific safety arguments against never-quite-articulated security concerns that have put this piece of public water off limits for almost 15 years.304 of 400 SignaturesCreated by New York City Water Trail Association

Tell Starbucks: Dump Trump!Despite his history of racist, sexist and xenophobic comments, Starbucks continues to operate stores in buildings named after Donald Trump including Trump Tower and Trump Taj Mahal. Here are some recent Trump actions: * Trump immediately exploited the attacks in Brussels to call again for building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and for a ban to prevent Muslims including Muslim-Americans from entering the country. * Trump attacked Mexicans and called them "murderers" and "rapists." * Trump endorsed and encouraged violence against Black Lives Matter as well as other anti-Trump demonstrators. * Trump has refused to consistently denounce and reject support from the KKK and other hate groups. Donald Trump’s bigotry stands in direct opposition to the Starbucks brand. For example, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz’s public statement in support of marriage equality showed that the company values all people. Trump, on the other hand, has promised to round up and deport 12 million immigrants. That’s not what Starbucks stands for! Starbucks should immediately disentangle itself from its business relationship with Trump and begin relocating its stores that are in Trump owned properties.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Crawford

Tell Starbucks: We want our lattes without the Trump aftertasteDespite his history of racist, sexist and xenophobic comments, Starbucks continues to operate stores in buildings named after Donald Trump including Trump Tower and Trump Taj Mahal. Here are some of Trump's recent bad actions: * Trump immediately exploited the attacks in Brussels to call again for building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and for a ban to prevent Muslims including Muslim-Americans from entering the country * Trump attacked Mexicans and called them "murderers" and "rapists." * Trump endorsed and encouraged violence against Black Lives Matter as well as other anti-Trump demonstrators * Trump has refused to consistently denounce and reject support from the KKK and other hate groups. Donald Trump’s bigotry stands in direct opposition to the Starbucks that we know and love. For example, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz’s public statement in support of marriage equality showed that the company values all people. Trump, on the other hand, has promised to round up and deport 12 million immigrants. That’s not what Starbucks stands for!

Speaker DeLeo: Get Solar Back on Track!Solar projects have been stalled across Massachusetts for more than a year – putting energy savings, local jobs and community health on the line. Solar is stalled for communities, low-income families, schools and businesses due to an unnecessary cap on Massachusetts’ most successful solar program – net metering. Recently, 100 Massachusetts Representatives called on House leaders to take action now and pass a strong solar bill. [1] We need you to join them and tell our elected leaders: don’t let the sun set on solar!

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
