News Organizations: Stop Showing Trump's Coronavirus BriefingsPresident Trump is dangerous to viewers. It's not just that he lies, it's that people believe him. An Arizona man died and his wife is in critical condition after ingesting a substance they thought was the one Trump touted as a cure for the disease. He lies about medical supplies. He lies about the number of sick people. He lies about the uses of social distancing -- and then contradicts himself. Please, do your jobs. Cover the press conferences and then report on them later. We don't need Americans exposed to a steady diet of disinformation. Thank you.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Susan Madrak

Apex should follow the Wake County stay-at-home orderTO BE CLEAR: No decision has been made. The signed believe that this would be the right way to go and want to show support for this direction to Mayor Gilbert. As of March 25, North Carolina has 504 confirmed cases of coronavirus, with the highest number in Wake County, and we just had the first patients die of the disease. Our hospitals are being overwhelmed by patients asking for tests, and they have a lack of the proper equipment--including masks and gloves--to treat those infected by the virus. Cases of coronavirus in Wake County have grown exponentially in a week alone, and we don't have the tests necessary to see the true extent of the pandemic. The situation is so dire that health officials are telling people with mild symptoms to stay home. If left unmitigated, the coronavirus could kill millions of Americans. Epidemiologists agree that the only way to significantly stem the pandemic is to stay home, especially in areas that are experiencing community spread as Wake County is. That is why Wake County has issued the stay-at-home order, but it can only get compliance in Apex if Mayor Gilbert signs on. The order is not a prison sentence--we will still be able to get necessities and exercise outdoors. Rather, it provides businesses and families with the guidance we need to know how to act in these trying times. It's the responsible way to let our health system do its job. Apex is a strong, compassionate community, and we can do the right thing with your leadership, Mayor Gilbert. We want you to know that we have your back. Sign on to the Wake County stay-at-home order now. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/coronavirus/article241491911.html https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/19/the-coronavirus-could-kill-millions-of-americans-cdc-advisor-says.html101 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Job

Gov. Cuomo: Stop exploiting incarcerated labor for the production of hand sanitizer.In an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19, New York Gov. Cuomo is exploiting the forced labor of incarcerated people to make hand sanitizer but is doing nothing to protect them. In his proud announcement that Corcraft, a state-run corporation operating in state prisons, is manufacturing hand sanitizer scented like a "very nice floral bouquet," he casually left out the fact that the people work for Corcraft are paid less than one dollar per day. And to add insult, people in prison may not even be able to use the hand sanitizer themselves because, according to the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, anything with alcohol content is contraband. The virus has already made its way into jails and prisons across the state and is wreaking havoc. Riker's Island has at least 40+ cases, an employee at Sing Sing prison tested positive, and the first incarcerated person to test positive is at Long Island county jail. And these are just the cases we know of. Incarcerated people need protection, not exploitation! People locked in prisons deserve safety and wellness just as much as every other New Yorker. Yet, instead of ensuring that, Cuomo has been doing everything to treat incarcerated people with complete disdain -- undeserving of basic rights and human dignity. He has refused to take up the vast majority of clemency petitions and expand parole and medical release for elderly incarcerated people personally blocked the passage of the HALT Solitary Confinement Act, allowed New York State to continue to operate under a Jim Crow-era voting law that prohibits incarcerated people from voting, and is currently championing rollbacks to recently enacted bail reforms that would expand the jail population. Prisons and jails are places where a vulnerable population is forced into close quarters, healthcare is poor, and access to soap, sanitizer, toilet paper is limited at best. Inside a prison or jail, it is near impossible to contain an outbreak of infectious disease. This puts both incarcerated people and the people who work in jails at health risk. We need your support to make sure Cuomo hears this message loud and clear. People locked in prisons and jails are extremely vulnerable in times like this--but with the power of people like you, we can ensure that they aren't forgotten nor exploited. Sign the petition.274 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Color Of Change

NY Release People Incarcerated for Technical ViolationsInmates are in very close quarters, visits are being suspended at all State prisons, inmates have relatively inadequate healthcare, and suppliers, like Walmart, are now refusing to deliver food and care packages to inmates. This greatly reduces the ability of family members to care for their incarcerated loved ones on their own. There is a petition circulating asking the Governor to release the elderly, pregnant women, and those with a compromised immune system. We started this petition because we believe that inmates who are there for simple technical violations should be included. A technical violation is when a parolee does not meet a condition of their parole but also DOES NOT commit a crime. These are things like failing to report for a scheduled visit, missing a curfew, or failure to gain employment. Releasing inmates who are locked up for non-criminal technical violations would help reduce the load on valuable resources New York State needs now to fight this pandemic, to protect the wellbeing of inmates who cannot be released and allow these inmates to return home and care for their family members during this trying time. Ohio was the first to release inmates due to COVID-19 concerns and we know you like to lead the way on innovative solutions to challenging modern problems. Please, Governor Cuomo, release parolees who have been incarcerated for technical violations due to COVID-19 concerns.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Orlando Dickson

Tell Greg Abbott: Keep Clinics OpenGovernor Greg Abbott just ordered a stop to all "surgeries and procedures that are not immediately necessary" in Texas. Abortion is essential healthcare, but the Governor's office is trying to apply the order to abortion clinics. Anti-abortion extremists are exploiting the coronavirus crisis to end abortion access as we know it. We need to raise the alarm right now and flood Abbott's office with petitions demanding that he include abortion as essential healthcare and lift current restrictions that endanger the lives of Texans. Add your name to demand Texas keep abortion clinics open.2,897 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by NARAL Pro-Choice Texas

Tell Congress: No Bailout For Trump’s HotelsWhen President Trump took office, we demanded that he do what all other modern presidents have: divest from his businesses. That’s the only way to avoid the huge conflicts of interest that’d obviously come from running the country and a multi-million dollar business at the same time. Trump refused. And for his entire term, his administration has steered public dollars towards his properties -- while foreign diplomats have tried to curry favor with him by spending thousands of dollars at his hotels. Now we’re facing the prospect of Trump getting millions in bailout money from Congress’ upcoming stimulus package -- public money that should be going to help ordinary Americans. When asked specifically whether he’d accept a bailout, Trump said: “I don’t know… I have hotels. Everybody knew I had hotels when I got elected. They knew I was a successful person when I got elected, so it’s one of those things.” That’s right -- Trump is open to diverting money away from critical needs into his pocket. And as it stands, the Senate GOP's stimulus package doesn't adequately fund our healthcare system -- nor does it provide the more than $2 billion in funding elections experts say we need to protect every voter’s rights. It’s a huge conflict of interest for every member of his party -- who depend on Trump's favor for their political survival. Trump is forcing them to choose between funneling millions of taxpayer dollars into his pocket -- or angering a president who values blind loyalty over all else. It’s a clear test for every lawmaker of whether they’re loyal to their oath of office or to the president. And every one of them should reject any proposal that would allow Trump to get bailout or stimulus money for his businesses. Bailing out Trump’s business empire would be a clear-cut violation of our Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, which forbids the president from receiving money from the government -- precisely to prevent situations like the one we’re in right now. It’s incredible that we even have to say this, but: President Trump shouldn’t be looking for ways to fatten his wallet during a national crisis where lives are at stake. Congress must write into any stimulus package it passes that the American people won’t have to bail out the President's hotels. And, we must demand adequate transparency and oversight provisions, so the public knows in a timely fashion who IS getting the bailout money. Please add your name today.654 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

COVID-19: Expand vote-by-mail in every statePoll workers dropping out. Last-minute polling place closures. Voter confusion. Low turnout. Voters in Florida, Arizona, and Illinois dealt with these unprecedented challenges and more on their primary day due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. And if Congress doesn’t act now, millions more could be disenfranchised this year. The solution? A strong vote-by-mail program in every state -- accompanied by ample early voting hours and expanded no-excuse absentee voting. But it’s up to Congress to take the necessary steps to move these reforms forward and ensure that every voter can cast their ballot safely. That includes passing the Natural Disaster and Emergency Ballot Act. This crucial bill would offer voters in every state the option to cast their ballot by mail -- eliminating the health risk that may come with voting in person. It’d also expand early voting programs nationwide, reducing crowd sizes at the polls and offering those who need or prefer to vote in person more flexibility. Implementing these reforms before the November election will take ample time, equipment, and funding -- so it’s crucial that Congress acts fast. Protecting voters shouldn’t be a partisan issue, and the reforms in this bill are already popular with Republican, Independent and Democratic voters in states across the country. Add your name to tell your members of Congress: there’s no time to delay. Pass the Natural Disaster and Emergency Ballot Act now!3,537 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Halt All Evictions, Repossessions, Foreclosures, and Utility Shut-offs in AlaskaWe are tenants, workers, poor and marginalized people, young and old. We applaud the efforts and initiative taken thus far by Governor Dunleavy, the Alaska Legislature, the Municipality of Anchorage, the Alaska Judiciary, and various utility companies to mitigate the economic and public health impacts amid the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we believe further measures must be taken to properly address the severity of the crisis we are in. With COVID-19, we are already seeing unprecedented economic impacts around the world and here in Alaska. People are being laid off or experiencing loss of hours or wages as we are being asked to self-isolate during this time, and all schools and non-essential businesses are closing for the safety of our community. If we hope to contain the virus and flatten the curve, no one should lose their home during this crisis. Everyone must have access to food, shelter, electricity, heat, information, and clean water throughout this pandemic. While COVID-19 created this growing humanitarian crisis, the reality is that many of us have been living in crisis even before this pandemic. Multitudes of tenants are already incapable of paying next month’s rent and bills, and inaction from our elected officials will exacerbate these circumstances. If our government fails to act on the solutions proposed, we call on all tenants to resist evictions, and organize to withhold their rent payments for the entirety of the crisis and use their limited resources on the necessities—such as groceries, prescriptions, diapers, and mental health services—to maintain the well-being of themselves and their communities. We are committed to protecting everyone’s right to stay in their homes and not face evictions as we collectively take on the impacts of this crisis.306 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Anchorage Tenants Union

WE CANNOT REMOVE COVID19 PRECAUTIONS PREMATURELYThe spread of Covid 19 is still rising at an ever increasing pace across the country. We are nowhere near the peak of this outbreak. Prematurely removing the controls now in place will be disastrous and result in a far greater spread of the desease, with far greater numbers of deaths. And that will have an even greater negative impact on the economy as well. PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. THANK YOU.300 of 400 SignaturesCreated by John Orabone

Facciamo pressione sulla UE per far togliere l'embargo USA (dal 1959) ai CubaniIn Cuba si muore perche' anche se hanno tutti i medici possibili , non hanno medicine , non hanno materiali per farsi le medicine, non hanno attrezzature , hanno ospedali fatiscenti tutto per colpa dell'EMBARGO . In attesa dell'eliniazione totale dell'embargo da parte del Senato Americano , basterebbe in questa fase che lo stesso Trump ristabilisca le ordinanze emesse da Obama da lui eliminate , che comunque avevano allargato le meglie permettendo gli scambi tra il resto del mondo e Cuba . Trump quale guerra combatte contro questo popolo pacifico e con un umanita' ineguagliabile?107 of 200 SignaturesCreated by vincenzo grasso
