Open Tattoo Salons in MiamiIt is important to open tattoo establishments because we practice sanitation protocols between every single client every day, even before Covid-19. We have been patiently waiting since the middle of March for news and some have not been able to wait and have had to open to be able to provide for their household. Don’t put us in a position where we have to risk our license in order to be able to keep our businesses afloat. SIGN THIS PETITION TO GET REPUTABLE AND SAFE TATTOO ESTABLISHMENTS OPENED!341 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Lisandra Rodriguez

Stop 50,000 republicans from patrolling voters in key states!I strongly believe, based on strong evidence, that our current administration is intent on destroying our constitutional rights, our freedom, and the civil rights of people of color and immigrants. Allowing 50,000 Republicans to patrol voting stations in key states and turn away anyone they suspect might be suspicious, coupled with a widespread propaganda campaign about Democrats as agents of election theft, is outrageous. This is a blatant attempt at voter suppression to tilt the election in their favor. This will mainly affect voters of color and immigrants, and probably anyone who "appears" to be a Democrat or liberal to them. It is likely that the patrollers will fabricate any excuse to turn voters away and make it impossible for them to contest it. This action is further proof that the Trump administration and his GOP supporters will stop at NOTHING to make sure he wins a second term. It confirms the entrenched corruption of this administration and its attempt to dismantle democracy, civil rights, and the right to vote unless the vote is in their favor. We cannot afford a second Trump term; it will be a catastrophic event for this country and the world.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dilys Burke

Stop Trump’s war on independent watchdogsDonald Trump just majorly escalated his war against legitimate, independent oversight of his administration. His latest target? Steve Linick, the Inspector General at the State Department -- who was conducting an investigation into Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s alleged abuse of government funds. Pompeo has repeatedly come under fire for reportedly using State Department money for political purposes -- like making frequent visits to Kansas where he was rumored to be considering a Senate run, as well as taking his wife with him on official international trips. And before he was ousted from his position, Linick -- a longtime public servant -- was investigating claims that Pompeo made one of his political appointees do personal tasks for him and his family. Ever since the Senate voted to cover up his crimes, Trump has been trying to eliminate any and all supervision over his administration. Last month, he fired Michael Atkinson, the inspector general who brought the Ukraine whistleblower’s complaint to Congress -- and recently, Trump had acting inspector general Glenn Fine removed from his role of overseeing the administration's COVID-19 relief spending. Now, it seems that Trump has fired Linick to shield Pompeo from accountability. And unless Congress responds, Trump won’t stop until there isn’t a single White House watchdog left -- no one overseeing his administration's decisions, and nobody to put a stop to waste, fraud, or abuse of power. Add your name to urge Congress to protect independent inspectors general -- by requiring the president to show cause in order to remove them.1,361 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Humanitarian ParoleIt's a matter of life and death. My wife is unable to work due to the pandemic and is caring for our children on her own and she is at the breaking point. I never committed violent crimes domestic or otherwise. I simply was suffering from depression and was arrested for possession of a small amount of cocaine.58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by FATHOUSE WRECKORDS

The Coronavirus is a Test for Our Commonwealth and Country -- You Are FailingWith six months to go until the November elections, the U.S. Senate has a waning opportunity to show our country what compassionate, bipartisan leadership looks like, and whether majority leader Mitch McConnell is capable of that leadership. His legacy will likely be defined by how the Senate meets this historic challenge. An obsessive focus on reshaping the federal judiciary will pale in comparison to an underwhelming and tepid response to the significant needs of our commonwealth and nation to meet the coronavirus crisis. Sen. McConnell's recent actions are deeply troubling. From stating, “Some of these governors, particularly the Democrat governors, it seems, enjoy this extra power over people’s lives, and ... the governors have been struck down, been overruled, for being sort of drunk with power at the opportunity to keep everybody locked up,” to recently saying that President Obama should "keep his mouth shut," and calling him "classless." This comes on the heels of his irresponsible suggestion that states should declare bankruptcy instead of expecting federal support. Please sign and share our petition to encourage Leader McConnell to make the most of the moment, and set a new, bipartisan direction for his leadership of the current Senate session.116 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Aaron Viles

My brother has never received Justice.His trial has been put off for the past 5 years and still today, no Justice. Kenny was taken from his son Kenneth Paul Diets111 (AKA) Trey, his mother Peggy Bates, sisters Melinda Crabtree and April Diets, and from so many others. The states are so set to put drug dealers away, they let a murderer free on the streets. Please take 5 minutes to sign this petition For Justice for my brother Kenny.

Reclassification of Pilates Studios as Boutique Fitness Studios/MicrogymsAs a small, woman-owned business, my boutique Pilates Studio has been classified as a gym or fitness center, and alongside cinemas with a 250+ person capacity, and in turn, my business has been shut down in advance of other non-essential businesses. We have been closed since March 16th, and while we have made every effort to generate revenue through virtual, online classes our monthly revenue has dropped below 5 percent of its regular value. To be clear, unlike gyms and fitness centers, boutique fitness studios and micro gyms have a typical capacity of 1-6 people. Most clients are seen 1-1 (instructor-client) up to 4-1 ratios as normal practice. Clients attend pre-scheduled sessions limited to this capacity. At no point are clients admitted to classes as walk-Ins, a physical appointment must be scheduled 12-24 hours in advance of their session. In addition, this industry is one of the few female-led and powered industries in existence. We estimate 75% of the owners and workers impacted by this crisis are women. I ask that you support the Petition to exclude boutique fitness studios and micro-gyms from the definition of of “Gyms” or “fitness centers,” and create independent directives applicable for the reduced footprint of the unique business models used by boutique fitness studios and micro-gyms. We respectfully request that Governor Whitmer open us along side other non-essential businesses who will reopen June1. As a boutique fitness studio and micro-gym, it can be argued that we are actually are an essential business as we see more than 60% of our clients in a therapeutic/rehabilitative manner, under the guidance of licensed physical therapists. Our industry has, and always will be committed to the health and wellbeing of all others. We want to reopen responsibly and as quickly as possible.As the studio owner, I can attest that my boutique fitness studio/ microgym appreciates the importance of employing several team members and supporting clients to become healthy with the least risk possible to their good health.1,484 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Allison Nakisher
