Tell WHYY that you would like to hear more coverage of Bernie SandersSenator Bernie Sanders deserves substantial airtime because we believe that his platform and policy proposals speak directly to the lives of middle and lower class American more than any other candidate in the presidential race. He is financed exclusively by the American people and as a result he is free to speak and fight on our behalf. The history of his political career demonstrates that his words are consistent with his entire record and that he is committed to fighting for all of the American people. As listeners of WHYY and NPR, we would like to hear Sen. Sanders proposals given substantive and consistent coverage.307 of 400 SignaturesCreated by John P Edwards

Vote To Make Puerto Rico a Free Sovereign NationUnder the administration of Spain and America, I see my people dying and collapsing under economical hardships and an island mandated by so many regulations that it is virtually impossible to have an economy. The people of Puerto Rico have endured political oppression and psychological warfare created to divide the people by separating the island into sects set on propaganda and political denominations bent on selling our cultural identity for a couple of U.S.dollars. We need Puerto Rico to be free. The U.S. needs to guide us to help us build our economy, then watch it grow.315 of 400 SignaturesCreated by ramon aponte

Stop The Oil Flowing in the Straits of MackinawNot only are these two Great Lakes the source of freshwater for millions of people in several states, they also provide thousands of pounds of edible fish - all of which is in danger of being ruined if this decades old pipeline should burst. We in Michigan have seen how slowly Enbridge responds to pipeline leaks and the results in the Kalamazoo River are heart breaking, but they pale in comparison to what could happen if something happens to the 62 year old pipeline that runs beneath the confluence of Lakes Michigan and Huron.59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cliff Yankovich

Presidential Candidates: Reduce Wall Street's Influence in GovernmentFriday at the Netroots Nation conference, in one of the most powerful speeches of her career, Elizabeth Warren challenged power -- calling for fewer Wall Street insiders appointed to top government positions, while also calling out structural racism and declaring Black Lives Matter. She told those present, "Anyone who wants to be President should appoint only people who have already demonstrated they are independent, who have already demonstrated that they can hold giant banks accountable, who have already demonstrated that they embrace the kind of ambitious economic policies that we need to rebuild opportunity and a strong middle class in this country." Earlier this week, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee teamed up with Democracy for America on this very issue -- asking all presidential candidates to promise an Attorney General, Treasury Secretary, and other appointees who will fight for the little guy and challenge power. Elizabeth Warren continued, "The only way that candidates for President -- or for any office -- will slow down the revolving door, the only way candidates will say 'enough is enough' is if you -- YOU -- demand that they say it." Please sign the petition and share it with your friends.351 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Progressive Change Campaign Committee

Felony ExpungementThis petition is about communities similar to Sandtown-Winchester in Baltimore where individuals return to after incarceration. Communities with accumulations of individuals who have records of incarceration but have their economic potential capped because of that record, thus starving the neighborhood of potential income tax revenue which is the main form of community financial support.249 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Christopher Ervin

Praise diplomacy starting with the Iran dealI have worked for 30 years to bring the risk of nuclear war to the public. This agreement with Iran can become a major breakthrough toward ending the nuclear era, too long characterized by MADness (Mutual Assured Destruction). Next steps will be to bring the same international determination to the elimination of nuclear capabilities in all nations. May it be so.89 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David C Hall MD

Saving Lives ActOn average someone's dying every 13 minutes of overdose to heroin/opiates. Many of whom are under 21 yrs old. We NEED more doctors and more options for treatment and maintenance based treatment. Studies show that Suboxone and methadone based treatment saves lives.Unfortunately, there is just NOT enough programs to treat the growing numbers.We are advocating for funding to open more programs and ALLOW the cap of 100 patient's per provider to be increased to help serve the rapidly growing NEED!29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Walsh
