Remove Insurrectionist Ginni Thomas from the Board of the Library of Congress NOW!Evidence revealed in 2022 shows that Ginni Thomas texted Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows—as well as legislators in Wisconsin and Arizona—urging them to overturn the election results. And she even attended the Stop the Steal rally on January 6. The Trust Fund Board of the Library Congress manages over $200 million in donations for the library. We cannot trust an insurrectionist like Ginni Thomas to oversee and manage federal dollars. Ginni Thomas was a part of a group of far-right activists who pushed Trump to get rid of members of his administration who were thought to be “disloyal” to him and suggested that those members be replaced with people they chose. Months later, Trump nominated Ginni to the Board of the Library of Congress. Justice Clarence Thomas has a clear conflict of interest, and despite that, he has refused to recuse himself from Trump’s Supreme Court cases that would have implications for his wife. The corruption knows no bounds. President Biden has removed many Trump appointees from their posts. The time is NOW to remove Ginni Thomas from the board of the Library of Congress. Will you add your name to the petition?65,684 of 75,000 Signatures

Stop laying off workers and give Elon Musk a pay cut instead!When Musk joined Tesla in 2018, the board offered him a $2.28 BILLION compensation package—which was staggering even then. But because of the stock options, the package has grown exponentially over the years to now a $55.8 BILLION package—the “largest potential compensation opportunity ever observed in the public market.” Yet the board is resistant to lowering Musk’s compensation package, even amid mass layoffs. It is irresponsible and reckless for Musk to lay off 10% of its Tesla team, and the rollout has been dehumanizing and callous. Some workers even reported learning they had been laid off only when their employee badge no longer worked. The poor rollout and lack of leadership have even had long-term executives leave the company. The judge who ruled against Musk’s compensation package said the deal was “unfathomable” and created a dynamic in which Musk “essentially controlled the board.” If Tesla needs to cut costs, it doesn’t need to look at its employees—it can look at Musk’s outlandish compensation package that has already been deemed unlawful.394 of 400 Signatures

Stop Delaying Trump's Criminal Trials!Three out of the four of Trump's criminal cases are postponed—indefinitely. Trump-appointed judge Aileen Canon has been dragging her feet in Trump’s classified documents case in Florida, and she has failed to reschedule the trial that was originally to take place in May 2024. The right-wing-packed Supreme Court has the federal trial accusing Trump of trying to overturn the election results in 2020 tied up, refusing to rapidly review Trump’s bogus and corrupt appeal for "absolute immunity" of all crimes he committed while in office. And finally, Trump's crusade to disqualify the prosecutor in his Georgia case, also related to overturning the 2020 election results, has indefinitely delayed the trial as the Georgia Court of Appeals debates whether to allow Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis to oversee the charges brought against Trump and 14 other co-conspirators. For far too long, there have been different sets of justice in our legal system—one for the wealthy and powerful, and another for the rest of us. And this hypocrisy has burdened Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian American communities disproportionately. And now, this double standard is on full display, as someone who should be held to the highest ethical and legal standards in our country manipulates our legal system to evade accountability and hide information from the public. Trump’s crimes were crimes committed against our democracy and against the American people. We have a right to a speedy trial. Sign the petition to urge our legal and justice system to do its job and STOP THE DELAYS!51,149 of 75,000 Signatures

Pass the CROWN ActRight now—in 2024—in 27 states it's completely legal to discriminate against people for wearing their natural hair. Formal and informal "dress codes" are used to shame and punish Black people for wearing hairstyles that are consistent with their natural hair texture. And for many in the Black community, it's about more than just hair. Locs, twists, coils, braids, and other natural hairstyles are an expression of identity. Discriminating against Black people for wearing natural hairstyles isn't only a violation of civil rights, it's a direct attack on Black culture. And it has real-life consequences. Black people are being robbed of job opportunities, education, and their dignity all because of racist policies designed to make them tone down who they are. The CROWN Act (Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair), a bill aimed at ending race-based hair discrimination in schools and workplaces for Black Americans and other communities of color, was just reintroduced in the Senate. Now is our chance to end hair discrimination nationwide. It's time to put an end to this. Sign the petition to urge Congress to pass the CROWN Act NOW so no one suffers the injustice of experiencing racial discrimination because of their hairstyle.1,674 of 2,000 Signatures

Petition to ban Kyle Rittenhouse from speaking at universitiesRittenhouse's presence on college campuses is highly controversial and has sparked outrage among students, faculty, and community members. His speaking events, organized by the right-wing Turning Point USA chapters, not only raise concerns about campus safety but also promote divisive ideologies that have the potential to incite further violence and hatred. Universities should be spaces for learning, growth, and respectful dialogue, not platforms for individuals associated with violence and hate speech. Allowing Rittenhouse to speak at universities sends the wrong message and undermines the values of inclusivity and tolerance that higher education institutions should uphold.1,430 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Valeria Trevino

Tell Amazon to create a safer environment for disabled/ disadvantaged sellersI am not the only product creator out there just trying to survive. This is a very difficult time for everyone - ESPECIALLY those of us with learning disabilities and other challenges. Amazon is one of the wealthiest businesses today and can definitely afford to have better accommodations in place.767 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Jason Rosenblatt

Oppose Resolution 218In 2008, an Albany county legislator tried to pass a resolution in opposition to the Iraq War. It led to an hours long debate on the floor, and what came of it was that Albany county decided that Resolutions would be used to codify things into law, while Proclamations which are not voted on, but legislators sign on to if they would like, can be used as an honorary/symbolic gesture of support. Recently, the Albany County legislature has decided they want to codify the policy around proclamations, more specifically they don't want to issue proclamations for controversial issues, or for issues that urge another body to take action. However, they have drafted a policy that doesn't outright exclude such proclamations from being issued. This is problematic because it gives rise for the policy to be applied in a potentially discriminatory manner.71 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Albany Muslim Advocacy Coalition

Day off for Eid - a major Islamic holidayThis campaign is extremely important in representing full equality for Muslim students and faculty throughout fisd. They are currently treated with injustice though being denied a day off from school on this major Islamic holiday in order to uphold justice toward these students and faculty. This goal is realistic and achievable considering it has been effective and successful in the Houston isd and the entire New York State.283 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Fatima Mujtaba

PMTSD 2024 GraduationEvery student at PMTSD has worked very long and hard to receive their license. By taking away their graduation you are not giving them a chance to be recognized for all their hard work, time, and professionalism that they have given to the school, staff, and guests! Each student has performed numerous hours to prepare for their career. This is a huge life accomplishment and should be celebrated as such! By waiting until the following year, with zero notice to the student body is disappointing and unsatisfactory by the Paul Mitchell standards we have upheld. There are other alternatives to hosting a graduation such as using a smaller location or hosting graduation at the school that could have been much more productive than stopping the process all together. Not many students will be able to return a year after finishing school, let’s make sure the 2024 graduates have a chance to celebrate their accomplishment as they move into the next phase of life!111 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Madison Madden

Safety For The KidsAs much as we love the new park. A lot of us don’t love that it is not fenced in. It only takes a blink of an eye for the kid to run into the street, especially with it being so close. It would be safer and easier for us parents if there was one entrance/exit.307 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Kaylin Cox
