• Save Earned Sick Leave- Act Now
    Philadelphia City Council overwhelmingly passed a law giving 120,000 Philadelphia the chance to EARN some paid sick leave. Mayor Nutter vetoed this bill. We need just twelve votes to override the veto this Thursday, April 11th. With 77 percent of Philadelphians supporting an override of the Mayor's veto, now is the time for City Council to stand up and lead on the issue of earned sick days. Sign this petition asking Councilmen O'Brien and Squilla to stand up to the Mayor and vote YES to override the veto.

  • Stop the Attacks on Public Education In Ohio
    The Ohio legislature is considering a budget bill that includes the expansion of charter schools and a "parent trigger" provision. These laws siphon money away from public education and make it easier to shut down public schools and convert them into for-profit private schools. Across the country "parent trigger" laws have not been shown to improve educational outcomes for students. All these laws do is help ALEC-backed corporations make money off of our kids.

  • The Absolute Myth of Democracy
    I ask one simple question. Can there be true democracy without equality of opportunity? I do not believe so and yet it is clear that there is not such equality in our so called democratic societies. This petition is one step in trying to change that situation

  • No cuts for Social Security!
    My mother is on Social Security. She worked ALL of her adult life as a single mom well into retirement and now after paying into a system that PROMISED she would see a SUBSTANTIAL return on her investment to help her in her Golden years AND that it would increase as inflation increases. That is the promise we all THOUGHT was in place when we see that SS money taken out of our hard earned paychecks!
