National StrikeCOVID 19 eliminates the ideas of a large march or protest. We need a weapon at our disposal. May 13, 2020, the Supreme court will make a ruling. Rachel Maddow fears it will be a decision about Trump being "above the law" and no rules applying to him. (The Court normally rules on narrow points of law, but this conservative court is unpredictable.) We must demonstrate we will not tolerate the destruction of democracy.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ALFRED WASHINGTON

Stop mass unemployment and save jobs!The unemployment report is simply horrific. More than 20 million people lost their jobs in April, and the country's official unemployment rate is nearly 15%. That's worse than anything since the Great Depression. But it doesn't have to be this way. Rep. Pramila Jayapal has a proposal that would prevent mass unemployment by doing what many European countries have already done: have the government cover the payrolls of struggling businesses. The Paycheck Guarantee Act provides urgent relief to businesses and workers, while also helping make it easier for the economy to recover once public health has improved. Congress is debating the next stimulus bill and there's a chance this can be included, but only if we demand it. Will you speak up now?19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

Make the federal government deliver more coronavirus suppliesIn January, when the Donald Trump was receiving numerous warnings that the coronavirus would hit this country hard, the government turned down an offer by a Texas company to make nearly 2 million N95 masks a week. Even now, months into the crisis, that factory has production lines that could make 7 million masks a week -- but they're sitting idle, as are many others. Hospitals, cities, and states are struggling due to a lack of personal protective equipment, as well as the necessary test kits and contact tracing equipment needed to stop this pandemic and safely reopen our country. But Donald Trump won't make it happen. That's why Congress must step in and make him.189 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

Save Social Security!Donald Trump is considering several proposals that would wreck Social Security and Medicare -- and we need your help to stop him. Trump's advisors are considering a plan to allow people to get more economic stimulus cash, but you would have to accept cuts to your future Social Security benefits. It's a kind of payday loan that forces you to take money you need in your old age and use it to survive right now. Trump himself is also pushing a plan to slash payroll taxes as part of the economic stimulus. But payroll taxes are one of the main sources of revenue for Social Security and Medicare, and cutting them would cause a crisis. We need to make sure Congress rejects these horrifically destructive plans. Instead, now is a good time to expand Social Security and Medicare. Will you help?85 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

Stop Mitch McConnell from handing Bill Barr more spying powersTime is running out to stop McConnell from handing Bill Barr, fresh off his shocking attack on the rule of law by dropping the case against Michael Flynn, new spying powers. Some of the worst parts of the Patriot Act expired last month after we fought to make sure Congress couldn't renew them without major reforms. Now McConnell is trying to jam through not just a renewal of the Patriot Act, bad enough as it is -- he wants to create huge new powers that would let Trump's henchmen conduct more spying on all of us, and on their enemies, without needing a warrant. Meanwhile, civil libertarians are rallying behind a bipartisan amendment that would restrict the government's spying powers. This is a critical moment to stop the McConnell, Barr, and the rest of the Trump Administration from abusing their power. Will you add your name now?4,593 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

Reunite a FamilyThis is important to me because the system is corrupted and removes children and husbands every day from their family, and this shouldn’t have happened to this family. The parents are really good parents; if you ever met them you would fall in love with them, and it warms my heart to see how they both interact with their children when they had them home.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tammy Storey

#Dump-Donny$$The future of your country is quite literally "at risk". Our economic, education, health-care, infrastructure, social-services, and other systems are all significantly weakened because of Donny's nefarious behaviors/policies. Ultimately, if not removed, every segment of our country will suffer.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joe McCarthy

Protect Essential Workers and Issue a Health and Essential Rights Order (NY H.E.R.O.)Essential workers are putting their lives on the line every day during this crisis--they are providing healthcare, ensuring that workers have the ability to travel to their jobs, processing food and stocking grocery stores, collecting garbage and keeping our streets clean, delivering packages, energy and telecommunication services, and keeping our government functioning. Essential workers want to be safe and do their jobs with the dignity and respect that they deserve. This is as much about racial and gender justice as it is about economic justice: women, immigrants, and Black and Latinx workers are more likely to be essential workers. We must do more to protect the 2.2 million essential workers in New York in order to prevent more unnecessary deaths and a second surge of COVID-19 in already devastated communities. The federal government is refusing to protect workers and their communities from COVID-19 and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is not formally investigating any complaints from workers outside of the healthcare industry. For these reasons, we must turn to New York State to take action in order to protect essential workers and their communities from preventing a second wave of COVID19. Stand with essential workers to call for a New York Health and Essential Rights Order (NY H.E.R.O.) to protect the essential workforce and the communities they serve. The NY H.E.R.O. Executive Order will quickly improve the health and safety in workplaces across New York by implementing the following measures: HEALTH & SAFETY PROTOCOLS TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH - Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Requirements - Physical distancing requirements - Hand hygiene requirements - Disinfection and deep cleaning requirements - The requirement to provide notice when workers contract the virus - Quarantine housing for workers living in employer housing ENFORCEMENT & PROHIBITION ON RETALIATION - Workplaces should establish a facility pandemic safety committee that can raise concerns about health and safety conditions and notify the employer about worker complaints and concerns - No employer should take action against workers who raise any concern or information about workplace health and safety practices - Any worker has the right to refuse to do work under conditions where they feel at risk of contracting or spreading COVID-192,641 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Maritza Silva-Farrell

Kaiser Permanente stop wasting $ on non-therapeutic preputial amputationsCosmetic surgeries are not covered by healthcare insurance plans, with the exception of this one for cultural/religious reasons. There is no reason this one should be covered. If it is done to a child, it is considered a human rights violation. If is done to a consenting adult, it should be treated like any other cosmetic surgery that is not necessary for the individual's health and well-being. We do not want our premiums supporting such acts.57 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Adkison
