• Speaker Boehner: Bring the Immigration Bill up for a Vote!
    It’s wrong to leave millions of people, who are part of the fabric of this country, in limbo - afraid and unable to fully participate in the country where they serve in our military and work hard in our economy. This is not about politics. It’s about fairness and who we are as a country.

  • Congress: Introduce and pass a bill giving everyone who has resided here for five years the oppor...
    President Obama's announcement protecting 5 million people who only know this country as home has inspired me to start working to fight for everyone else. Just as President Obama allows everyone with U.S. citizen children and has been here for five years to come forward, I think everyone who has resided in this country should be offered the opportunity to come forward. Sign and share this petition to tell your representatives in Congress to introduce a bill to this effect and work to pass it now.

  • A call for peace talks and immigration reform
    Femicides in the "Northern Triangle" of El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala 2002-2011 are part of the social costs for the war on drugs as well as a black market engine to be addressed with immigration reform. Perhaps a war on poverty may serve women, and minorities of the Americas more humanely. Perhaps peace talks for a war on drugs may address immigration issues.

  • We don't have to sacrifice California's deserts for renewable energy!
    More renewable energy is available from rooftop solar in San Diego and Los Angeles Counties than will be derived from the siting of utility-scale generating facilities on 2 million acres of desert habitat called for in the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan. The unintended consequences of utility-scale facilities in the desert are becoming known and are unacceptable--dust storms in Lancaster, midair incineration of birds at Ivanpah, depletion of scarce groundwater in Borrego Springs.

  • Defend Pregnant Women’s Rights!
    Peggy bravely stood up to UPS for violating the Pregnancy Discrimination Act and now her case is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court, where it will be heard on Wednesday, December 3rd. When Peggy Young, a UPS driver for 10 years, found out she was pregnant, her doctor recommended that she avoid lifting more than 20 pounds. But UPS refused her request for “light duty” — even though the company provided accommodations to people with disabilities, on-the-job injuries, and even to people who had lost their drivers’ licenses as a result of DUI convictions. Instead, Peggy was pushed onto unpaid leave for the duration of her pregnancy and lost her UPS-provided health benefits when she needed them most. [1] Send this SuperMom a message of support for standing up for her rights and the rights of pregnant workers across the nation. Sign our note AND leave a personalized message of your own! * We’ll make a giant Thank You card for Peggy with your signature on it, and will hand-deliver each message of support (along with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a MomsRising t-shirt!) to Peggy and her legal team on Wednesday, December 3rd, the day her case (Peggy Young vs. UPS) will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.

  • Gov. Baker: Shut down this corporate tax heist
    Tax loopholes allow corporations to dodge taxes by hiding profits overseas -- some companies pay $0 in taxes. How is Massachusetts supposed to improve the T, invest in early education and job growth when we allow large companies to game the system? It’s about time that these corporations start living by the same rules as the rest of us. It’s time to close these loopholes and invest in an economy that works for everyone. We're calling on Governor-Elect Charlie Baker to support a simple common-sense reform that would make taxes more fair here in Massachusetts. Montana and Oregon recently enacted laws to recoup money stashed in offshore tax havens, by closing the "Waters Edge Loophole." If we enacted the same policy here in Massachusetts, it would generate $79 million. While he was running for office, Gov-Elect Baker said he supports making the tax code "fairer and removing corporate tax loopholes." We've got the perfect place for him to start, but we know the corporations that benefit from this tax heist will resist us every step of the way. That's why need to show Gov.-Elect Baker Bay State residents are behind us.

  • Presidential hopefuls: Do you support Diplomacy with Iran?
    We don’t just need to end the war in Iraq - we need to end the mindset that got us into Iraq. President Obama said that during the primaries and this sentiment has shaped the way he’s approached Iran. It’s important for us to know if candidates are going to see a potential military solution to every foreign policy challenge. Or in other words policies that often make us less safe because they accelerate the spread of extremism. Diplomacy works. We’ve seen how the diplomatic negotiations with Iran have made us safer by freezing Iran’s nuclear challenge and opening the program to daily inspections. With Iran in the news now is the time for us to ask potential Presidential hopefuls - what is your approach to foreign policy? By asking the question we can set the tone for the primaries so that this issue doesn’t fall by the wayside. For many of us issues like immigration, health, education and a safe environment are close to our hearts. By pushing candidates to support diplomacy we potentially save thousands of lives but ensure that less of our taxpayer dollars are spent tackling important issues at home.

  • Rep. Andy Harris: Don't block Marijuana Legalization in DC
    On Election Day, DC residents voted to legalize marijuana. It won in a landslide; the ballot initiative passed 2:1. But now Maryland Republican Congressman Andy Harris is threatening to block the initiative, saying he'll use "all resources available to a member of Congress to stop this action." [1] Andy Harris represents Maryland's northeast and eastern shore, not Washington DC. And even though DC voters spoke loud and clear at the ballot box, Andy Harris is only hearing the sound of his own voice. Andy Harris' district isn't even near Washington DC, and Maryland voters -- his own constituents -- haven't spoken on this issue. But because of federal laws giving Congress control of DC, he can use his position in Congress to block, stall and delay city ordinances in Washington DC. That's what he's threatening to do, even though DC voters overwhelmingly voted to legalize marijuana. If Andy Harris gets his way, he'll prove that the voice of one wealthy Congressperson can overpower the will of hundreds of thousands of everyday residents.
