Rescind the U.S. Government's Decision to Stop Issuing Passports TemporarilyOnce the worst of the pandemic is over and it is considered safe to travel, there will be a tremendous backlog of people applying for passports and renewals. This will hurt the travel industry even more than it is hurting right now, not only here, but all over the world. Also, many people have to travel on business. Many of them can't work remotely.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by sarah nachin

Remove Confederate Names at West Point and AnnapolisSince President Thomas Jefferson founded the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1802, the federal government has expanded and improved the education of military leaders. Two centuries later, however, the national declaration that "all men are created equal" remains unfulfilled. Naming academy buildings, roads, and other infrastructure for Confederate leaders at West Point and Annapolis perpetuates American inequality. At West Point, a barracks constructed in 1962--the height of the civil rights movement--was named for Robert E. Lee. At the Naval Academy, an engineering building and the superintendent's house were named for Confederate naval leaders in 1907 and 1976, respectively. Both academies also have roads and other infrastructure named for Confederate leaders. I recently urged West Point Superintendent LTG Darryl A. Williams, a fellow West Point graduate, to rename Lee Barracks and other infrastructure to "serve the nation’s paramount quest for a more equitable and just society under law." He wrote that "the Academy -- as a subordinate command of the Army -- will not act independently on this issue," "Confederate memorialization is an Army issue," and West Point recognizes "individuals who are a part of our history as an institution and a nation, not as representatives of a cause." The Confederacy and its leaders, however, will always stand principally for disunity, racism, and white supremacy. Honoring Confederate leaders at military academies reveres those values over equality and liberty. It is time for the nation's self-described premier leadership development institutions to replace Confederate names so they more fully express and honor Americans' highest values. Those values are clearly expressed through countless state and local officials who have removed Confederate statues and other divisive symbols from public spaces since the violent racist attacks in Charleston, SC in 2015 and Charlottesville, VA in 2017. State and local officials are fulfilling citizens' interests and leading an important democratic change movement where the federal government is failing. Sign this petition to: - tell the Defense Department and Congress to align the academies' values with your values; - support legislation that will require and fund the removal of Confederate honors at the military academies; - give your children better environments to learn leadership and selfless public service.5,917 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by David Delaney

DNC: We Want a Final Debate Between Bernie Sanders and Joe BidenDEMOCRACY: We are in the middle of a Democratic Primary. 27 states have not yet voted 43% of delegates are still available COVID-19: We are living in an unprecedented time where a global pandemic is testing the nation and revealing the deep flaws in our system. Record-breaking numbers of people are applying for unemployment. Millions are losing their jobs and their employment-tied healthcare. Millions are at risk of being evicted. This is the precise time for people to have a voice in how America should move forward beyond this world-changing crisis. Regardless of the path we take, life as we know it will fundamentally change. PATH FORWARD: We still have a choice. Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders have very different visions for how to proceed through this crisis. Let the American people hear them and make this very important decision before the remaining states cast their votes. Give us the debate we deserve.27,842 of 30,000 SignaturesCreated by Joey Kirkpatrick

Secure our YouthA high percentage of American households are single-parent. Upon the recent epidemic centered around the covid-19 virus many of these households financial providers are out of jobs which increases the level of hardship that stems from the lack of financial prowess to fend for our families. The key idea is to be able to provide for our "families", meaning all inclusive. The financial stimulus package currently being distributed amongst the population fails to completely care for families in their entirety. There's no feeling worse for a parent than the one that comes when you aren't able to aid your child(ren) in the ways in which they need to be aided. The ages of 17-23 are ages of childhood in many cases. These ages include both high school and college students who may be supported by their parents. Nevertheless, this age being so recently introduced to adulthood, it's a crucial time for all included. Think of a situation where a parent who no longer receives a steady income not being properly equipped with the tools to provide for their high school seniors or college freshman who aren't back at home, with the additional of all external and internal cost/utilities. What you're thinking of has unfortunately become a reality for many. A reality that hasn't adequately been worked on or addressed by our government.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tanisha Henderson

CDC track race for COVID-related illnesses and deaths now!It is vital to track how COVID is affecting people differently depending on race in order to address racial disparities now and in the future. The numbers of people who are dying and infected in NY, Milwaukee and Chicago are disproportionately people of color, and Black people in particular. the CDC is not keeping track of race nationally for the pandemic, although it should, because not doing so makes it seem like this is an equal opportunity illness, and it is not. generational and historical wealth and injustice are not abstract moral issues, they are the difference between life and death generational and historical injustice translate into the unequal distribution of resources like hospital beds, trained staff, infrastructure and healthcare facilities, and availability of medications generational and historical injustice affects the quality of living spaces, pre-existing conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and other chronic illnesses, and the ability to quarantine COVID is not the great equalizer. Viruses may not discriminate, but the ways in which the pandemic is panning out is clearly surfacing the inequalities that we desperately need to address. Tracking race is paramount to understand how racial inequality factors in COVID-related deaths and illnesses.522 of 600 SignaturesCreated by C G

Divine Mercy petition for the Catholic Church to offer Confessions online or by phoneWe know that from the teaching of the Catechism that when a person goes to confession, Christ is there acting through the Priest to give the blessing of absolution. So what do we know about Christ's greatest attributes from the devotion of Divine Mercy? His greatest attributes are Love and Mercy as stated in the Divine Mercy booklet. In light of Christ's merciful Heart, we all need to ask ourselves do we really think that Christ, given this pandemic, would want people to die without the peace of this Holy Sacrament? Additionally in the Bible, Jesus healed from a distance sometimes too. That is what Christ did with the Centurian in Matthew 8:5-13. Christ wasn't physically present and under the Centurian's roof but because of God's great merciful heart, He healed him just the same. In that same thought the Sacrament of Confession is healing from sins, so if Christ in the Bible healed physically from a distance (like the in the case of the Centurian) wouldn't that validate the case of healing sins from a distance through online confessions or by phone? We all know that God is ultimately Spirit like He told the woman at the well in John 4:23 and because He is Spirit, His Presence can even work through a confession online or via phone when a Priest is physically distant. Bishops please support this petition and request not only out of mercy for laypeople but out of mercy and protection for His Holy Priests!...Have mercy on us and on the whole world...8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rose Dennis
