Abolish Abusive ConservatorshipsPrior to the enactment of any law, we call on legislators to center the voices of those who have been gravely harmed and maligned by conservatorships. The scope of the harms caused by conservatorships is unknown, as conservators often have an unfettered ability by which to control conservatees and stifle their freedom of expression. Fundamentally, conservatorships are the “civil death” of our citizens, whereby legal proxies can control every aspect of an individual’s life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. This requires legislation that will hold abusers accountable for the harms they have perpetrated against conservatees, as well as develop fundamental changes to the conservatorship/guardianship system so that their only purpose is collaborative and supportive care. Ms. Spears never requested to be the only spokesperson for the reimagining of our legal system; for 13 years, she has been denied the ability to just speak for herself . While Ms. Spears is a solo artist, she is not alone in this exponentially growing movement to end conservatorship abuse. There can be no “Oops” when the rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution are being repeatedly violated and it should never happen to anyone ever again.128 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Melanie Carlson

Abolish the Electoral CollegeAs young adults, we're years away from entering the voting booth. Not just in Presidential elections, but congressional, local, and other community races. The Electoral College was established in 1787 and is not fit for a 21st century world. The American people should be responsible for selecting the President, not appointed Electors working for a system that isn't representative of the beliefs and votes of America. It's time to create a national popular vote in the United States!103 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Molly Cohen

It can also show up in perceptions of neighborhoods, housing stock, and property value, leading to appraisal bias.308 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Monument Sothebys International Realty

ADD YOUR NAME: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey must go!On the morning of February 2, a Minneapolis SWAT team acted on a no-knock warrant and within seconds, murdered 22-year-old Amir Locke in cold blood. Amir was another Black person tragically killed at the hands of Minneapolis police. The Minneapolis Police Department is the same police force that murdered George Floyd, whose death sparked the nationwide protests in defense of Black lives. After the murder of George Floyd by MPD, Mayor Jacob Frey talked for weeks and months about the need for major police reform. The reality is, at every step of the way, Jacob Frey has reneged on his promises, blocked meaningful police reform efforts, and lied to protect MPD. And his lies have had deadly consequences. To protect Black lives in Minneapolis and invest in what keeps our communities safe, Jacob Frey must step aside. Add your name to demand Frey resign effective immediately. Last year, Frey and his allies spent millions of dollars to kill Question 2, a ballot measure to create a department of public safety in Minneapolis. Frey also said that he led the fight to “ban” no-knock warrants. As the murder of Amir Locke demonstrated, this was a lie. In an attempt to assassinate his character, MPD labeled Locke a “suspect” and Frey stood by and said nothing in response to that lie. After years of empty promises, Minneapolis has the same police force it had when George Floyd was murdered — and Jacob Frey has increased the police budget by tens of millions of dollars year after year. Frey has demonstrated time and time again that his words can’t be trusted and he is complicit in state-sanctioned violence against Black people. The time is now. We must demand that mayor Jacob Frey resign as mayor of Minneapolis. ADD YOUR NAME: Cops lie, so does Frey. Demand Minneapolis' mayor Jacob Frey resigns.66 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rashad Robinson
