NO to the federal concealed carry mandate!Opposing this dangerous and outright reckless legislation should be a no-brainer for members of Congress. For years, states have had the power to decide who is too dangerous to carry a concealed weapon in public and where concealed firearms are not permitted. And while only 21 states require a permit in order to carry a concealed weapon, research shows that these states tend to experience fewer gun-related incidents. In fact, states that passed permitless carry laws saw, on average, a 27% increase in gun homicides within three years of the change, while other states saw less than half that increase during the same time period. Polls also consistently show that a majority of Americans oppose weakening concealed carry permit laws. This dangerous concealed carry mandate legislation must not pass.1,412 of 2,000 Signatures

I have as much right As the other fellow has To stand On my two feet And own the land. I tire so of hearing people say, Let things take their course. Tomorrow is another day.

I want freedom Just as you.65 of 100 SignaturesCreated by GrassrootDems Westmoreland

Tell FIFA and Olympics: It's Not Safe for the U.S. to Host!Experts are already concerned about the treatment visitors to the World Cup and Olympics would face in the U.S.—especially for people traveling from countries that the Trump administration has treated with open contempt. This isn’t a theoretical threat. Already, countries including Ireland, the Netherlands, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Germany, Finland, and Canada have issued travel advisories about the possibility of being detained by the Department of Homeland Security in the U. S. and have warned transgender people about the State Department’s change in policy regarding gender markers on passports. It's not clear that the millions of people who will visit the United States over the next three years will be kept safe from the Trump administration’s draconian policies. Add your name telling the leadership of FIFA and the Olympics to put the safety of visitors and athletes first.17,541 of 20,000 Signatures

Protect Women: Enforce Strict Domestic Violence Policies in Sports!!!Together, we call upon the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL to re-evaluate their current disciplinary measures and adopt a zero-tolerance policy for domestic violence. This would include mandatory comprehensive training for all athletes and staff on domestic violence and gender sensitivity, clear and stringent penalties for violations, and a transparent reporting system that holds individuals accountable regardless of their status. By implementing these changes, professional sports can take a stand against domestic violence, sending a strong message that behavior off the field matters just as much as performance on it. Sign this petition to urge these leagues to enact these crucial reforms and ensure justice and accountability for all.42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tatiana Bagley

REMOVE THE WORDS “TEEN” “UNDERAGE” and “TOO YOUNG” from pornography advertisingWhy This Matters ● The continued use of this language in marketing erodes the progress made in protecting minors from exploitation. ● Research has shown that the normalization of such terms in media can perpetuate dangerous cultural attitudes toward youth and consent. ● Current laws regulate the content of pornography but fail to address the language used to advertise it, creating a loophole that allows harmful narratives to persist. ● Other industries, such as social media and advertising, have implemented stricter guidelines regarding content that sexualizes minors—the adult industry should be held to the same standard. Our Demand We call on Congress to introduce an amendment to the Child Obscenity and Pornography Prevention Act (2002) that: 1. Prohibits the use of terms that suggest underage individuals in pornography marketing and advertising. 2. Imposes penalties on adult content platforms and distributors that continue to use such exploitative language. 3. Requires stricter oversight on the marketing strategies employed by the adult entertainment industry. Protecting minors from exploitation extends beyond content regulation—it requires addressing the language and narratives that fuel dangerous cultural perceptions. By closing this legal loophole, we take a critical step in safeguarding future generations from the normalization of predatory marketing tactics. Sign This Petition If you believe that no industry should profit from the fetishization of underage individuals, sign this petition to demand legislative action now. Together, we can hold the industry accountable and push for ethical advertising standards that no longer contribute to the normalization of child sexualization.76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by coco collins

Investigate the Abduction and Detainment of Rümeysa Öztürk!What is happening to Rümeysa Öztürk is terrifying. Abruptly stripped of her visa. Restrained and arrested. Smuggled out of Massachusetts by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in plainclothes. Hidden from her family, community, and lawyers in a private, for-profit detention facility in Louisiana. All because she wrote an op-ed in the Tufts school newspaper calling for the university to abide by undergraduate student senate resolutions meant to hold Israel accountable for international law violations. Rümeysa's harsh and unlawful detainment is an assault on our fundamental First Amendment rights and civil liberties—and we should all be concerned. Donald Trump is abusing his position of power to intimidate everyday people, silence dissenters, and roll back our fundamental rights. He doesn’t care about safety or ensuring our schools are welcoming spaces. In fact, his administration has been doing the opposite, bullying universities to control curriculum, gutting public programs, and pitting our communities against each other. Show the Trump administration that we are united and we will continue to mobilize to protect Rümeysa and others from his illegal power grabs. Sign the petition to urge Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell and Middlesex District Attorney Marian T. Ryan to launch an immediate and thorough criminal investigation into Rümeysa's kidnapping.1,682 of 2,000 Signatures

Investigate the FBI and FBI Director Kash PatelThe arrest of a sitting judge is an alarming move that signals a dangerous abuse of federal power—one that threatens judicial independence and any remaining checks on Trump’s power. It will also make our communities less safe. People must have trust in the courts to be willing to report a crime. When people in our communities are afraid to access the courts out of fear of being snatched up by ICE, it hurts our communities in so many ways. And it ties back to the broader anti-immigrant crackdown aligned with Trump’s Project 2025 framework. Together, we must protect the rule of law, judicial independence, and the rights of every person who appears in a courtroom—regardless of immigration status. We’ve already seen how ICE abuses its power to target student activists, U.S. citizens, legal residents and green card holders, and Trump’s political opponents—often without a warrant. When does it end? If we don’t speak up now—and demand our elected officials do the same—there’s no telling how far this administration will go. Sign the petition for Congress to investigate this judge’s arrest immediately. All of these arrests, abductions, and deportations aren’t just about attacking immigrants and marginalized communities. Trump is using his administration to fearmonger so he can continue to seize and build his power without opposition. Without checks and balances. Demand Congress act NOW to answer for Kash Patel’s—and ultimately Donald Trump’s—dangerous overreach. Image credit: Wall Street Journal29,308 of 30,000 Signatures

Condemn Trump's arrest of Judge DuganThe Trump Administration has arrested a sitting judge – Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan. These are the actions of a dictator. This isn’t just an arrest, it’s a blatant attack on judicial independence meant to send a chilling warning to every judge in the country. Here’s what’s happening: federal agents wanted to arrest someone at a hearing before Judge Dugan. Judge Dugan said no, protecting the integrity of her courtroom and refusing to turn it into an ambush zone. And in response, the FBI opened an investigation into her, and now has arrested her on charges that could send her to prison for years. But here’s what’s crystal clear – even under the Trump regime, standing up for due process and our Constitutional rights should be celebrated, not punished. It’s on all of us to speak out for what’s right. Add your name to tell the Trump Administration to STOP this authoritarian power grab.97 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause
