Defund the Police in MinneapolisDefunding the police is important because the police don't keep us safe. They put black people and there bodies at risk everyday. And for many years we have already tried reform. We have tried to reform the police and change them. But it just doesn't work. Now we need to take away some of the funding so that they hear our message. And use some of that money to invest in our communities. Investing in health care, schools, and many other essential necessities, where funding is lacked.59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amaya IbaƱez Brown

End the Death Penalty in VirginiaThe death penalty is racist, immoral, ineffective, inaccurate, and unjust. With Democrats in control of the House of Delegates, the Virgnia Senate, and the governors mansion, the death penalty's end is within reach. It is time that the Commonwealth of Virginia abolish the death penalty once and for all.51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Gifford

Remove Blackface from "La Casa de Papa" soap operaBlackface is offensive not only due to its origins in the nineteenth century when white actors during minstrel shows would use black paint to mock enslaved black individuals exploited in plantations by depicting them as outlandish and outside the human realm, but also due to the fact that blackface and systemic racism are intertwined and are undoubtedly linked to Jim Crow segregation laws. In showcasing blackface and disseminating it, the promoters make a decisively anti-black and dehumanizing statement.136 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Arpi Movsesian

Real time fact checking for presidential debatesFar better not to have any debate rather than one in which a candidate is forced to spend his allocated time countering baseless facts and outright lies instead of outlining and explaining his policies.170 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Hamid Farzaneh

Time for Full Financial DisclosureDecisions are made by these officials and laws and policies are put in place which affect the lives and well-being of the people that the officials represent. The people need to know to what extent the officials benefit from new legislation and policy decisions.

Amend New York State's Inhumane Wrongful Death StatuteNew York State's current Wrongful Death Statute is contrary to public policy. We do not have equal protection under the current law. This bill has been in Albany since 1994. The New York State government has been Derelict in it's Duty to deter negligent, reckless, sometimes criminal behavior that leads to needless deaths. This bill would acknowledge that the families of wrongful death victims experience emotional anguish.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Meryl Fischer

Lift ICE restrictions on foreign students attending online coursesThe regulation change announced by ICE on July 6 is unnecessary, unfair, and dangerous for the students affected by it. It bars students from re-entering the US, or threatens with deportation those who already are here, if they are attending a university that is only offering online courses due to COVID-19. This restriction has multiple unacceptable aspects: 1. It is unnecessary. ICE's role is to protect the United States against people who wish to enter illegally or with malicious intent. Students with a valid student visa do NOT meet this definition. 2. It is impractical. As the impact of coronavirus changes rapidly in various states and counties, universities are likely to rapidly change their teaching mode, starting or stopping in-person teaching from time to time. The regulation would force students to stay away when the courses are all online, allow them to come back when the courses are in-person or hybrid, send them away again if there is a reversal, etc. 3. It is costly. Many of the affected foreign students do not have the financial means to pay for extra airplane tickets home during the times when the regulation would ban them from the U.S. 4. It is dangerous. Putting those students on long international flights during the pandemic is dangerous to their health. It could arguably cause the death of several of them. 5. It is unfair. Some of these students would be back home in hostile conditions, or in a place where Internet is non-existent or of poor quality, or in family lodgings that are inconvenient for distance learning. Therefore they would not be in a position to continue their studies. The U.S. has granted these students visas to study in this country. This contributes to the reputation of this country as the world leader in higher education and research. The regulation changed announced by ICE on July 6 defeats this purpose. It is onerous, unfair, impractical, and unnecessary. It couldn't be better written if the motivation was actually xenophobia rather than the purported goal of protecting the U.S., which it does not achieve. This regulation change must be rescinded.20,826 of 25,000 SignaturesCreated by Claude Baudoin
