Unite For Change To End Racial ProfilingAs we live in the aftermath of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin’s unexpected death at the hands of George Zimmerman, I want to encourage each and every one of you to use your voice for change. Millions of people across the nation witnessed the injustice of Zimmerman’s subsequent acquittal of all charges in trial—something we must fight to prevent from happening again. We at the I AM READY Foundation and One Million People United for Change movement have teamed up with Trayvon’s parents to directly benefit the Trayvon Martin Foundation and Change For Trayvon in our efforts to keep Trayvon’s legacy alive. We believe joining MoveOn.org’s campaign to end rampant racial profiling in our nation’s law enforcement through the End Racial Profiling Act, is the first step to balancing the system. We cannot make a powerful impact that will last and spread our message of change, hope, peace, and justice without your help. We need each of you to stand with us #forTrayvon and join our One Million People United for Change campaign as we continue to reach the masses across the nation. We have already garnered the support of celebrities passionate about change, including Meagan Good, Chris Brown, Ledisi, Tank, Omari Hardwick, Dawn Richard, and so many more. With your support and action, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish to ensure Trayvon’s legacy lives on for decades to come. Here’s what we need you to do to get involved: 1) Join millions of Americans by signing this petition. 2) Make sure you opt in to receive updates from me and this campaign. Our efforts will assist us as we work to build community programs for our youth across the nation that will provide peaceful solutions to gun violence, increase youth engagement in politics and social topics, and create engaging programming that promotes liberty and access to the American dream. Can we count on you to stand with us #forTrayvon and act to effectively end racial profiling in America?73,361 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Jason Lee

Stop the MegaloadsThe megaloads are manufactured outside the US, are shipped to the Inland Northwest, and then transported via highways through Idaho and Montana to the Alberta Tar Sands. The Alberta Tar Sands have destroyed the resources of the First Nations people of Canada. We cannot support or allow this injustice to continue. Also, our land in the US is worth protecting! Here are the top 20 reasons US Hwy 12 is worth protecting: 1. Runs through the Nez Perces' ancient homeland. 2.The Nez Perce National Historic Park is located here, including the headquarters and museum 3. Nationally designated the Northwest Passage Scenic Byway. 4. Nationally designated 1 of the nation's 27 All-American Roads. 5.

Travels beside and provides access to the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, one of the nation's most cherished wilderness areas. 9. National - even international - reknown of the Lochsa River for its world-class spring whitewater. 10.

Air Citizen Koch/ Stop the censorship!"Citizen Koch" was pulled from a national public television broadcast out of fear of upsetting David Koch, a major donor and a subject in the documentary. He and his brother are billionaires who have used their inherited wealth to manipulate elections all across the nation. It's time public television stations serve viewers like me and not the billionaires. Help me to tell PBS to air "Citizen Koch".4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Scheid

Tell Illinois lawmakers to pass Election Day voter registrationWouldn’t it be easier if you could register to vote on Election Day—instead of needing to worry about meeting a deadline weeks before in order to participate? In eight states you can do just that—but Illinois isn’t one of them. That’s why we’re working to pass Election Day voter registration in Illinois this year. Election Day voter registration doesn’t just make voting easier—it also strengthens our democracy. Election Day voter registration has been shown to increase voter turnout, and it particularly benefits young people and those who recently moved. Plus, it reduces the cost of elections. Chicago Votes succeeded in passing online voter registration in Illinois in 2013, so we know we can make real change if enough people get involved. Sign today to support modernizing and improving our democracy by bringing Election Day voter registration to Illinois.

Congress, Senate, Don't allow the Keystone Pipeline to be Approved Just to Add More to the Oil In...The fact is that the Keystone XL project is not good for Americans, the environment, and does not add many permanent jobs. The pros just don't outweigh the cons for the American people.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John A. Smith

We want our financial aid!I am a current senior at Cal State University Dominguez Hills and for the past three years, my aid has been held up by the Financial Aid Department and Student Financial Services Department. Every year, it has been a struggle to receive aid before classes begin which has put me behind in purchasing books, school supplies, and preparing for the upcoming school year. Thousands of financial aid students struggle academically and financially due to the incompetence of these two departments.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jahnae

Thank you, Dr. NeuhausAfter Dr. George Tiller was gunned down in his church by an anti-choice terrorist, Operation Rescue turned to harassing his colleague, Dr. Ann Kristin Neuhaus. Dr. Neuhaus provided the second opinion required by Kansas law to verify medical need for third-trimester abortions, for patients that included a 10 year old girl raped by her uncle. Knowing that her records might be made public in Kansas' hostile regulatory environment, Dr. Neuhaus left many identifying details out of her patients' documents. Her concern was well-founded. Details from patient records shared with the office of Kansas District Attorney Phil Kline were later broadcast to a national audience by conservative TV host Bill O'Reilly. It got worse. A convicted terrorist working for Operation Rescue sued to have Dr. Neuhaus' medical license revoked based on the sparsity of her wrongly released records, and a Kansas medical board that included a former Operation Rescue attorney [1] agreed that Dr. Neuhaus should no longer be allowed to practice medicine. The state fined Dr. Neuhaus $93,000 to cover the costs of her persecution. The Neuhaus family is on the verge of bankruptcy now, struggling to provide medical coverage for their diabetic son. Dr. Neuhaus, we haven't forgotten you, or your many years of service to your patients.
