Evs and Food service workers without the proper PPE in hospitalsThis is important because there are several minorities testing positive for Covid-19 because they are not provided with the safest level of PPE as anyone else in the hospital and that is not fair! Everyone that is on these frontlines working and being in contact with people who are already struggling with underlying issues should always be protected, for the employees safety to have to be at work to feed their family all the way up to the employees who are being forced to work in these conditions and then bringing it home to their families as well!!!!96 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Monica Sanders

People who owe Child Support/TANF should get a stimulus check, we are struggling too!We the people are affected by this pandemic as well! If someone who owes the IRS, or the government in any way can get one, we should be able to get help as well! If someone is behind on child support/TANF it is the same as owing the government, why are we excluded? I understand we have the responsibility to care and provide for the children we created. However, we are out of work and struggling to make ends meet as well! We deserve help like anyone else!11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Heather Reynolds

Support the People’s Vaccine!Coronavirus is wreaking havoc across the entire world. Hundreds of thousands of people have already died (nearly 100,000 Americans alone), and the disease is spreading by the day. As long as vaccines and treatments remain unattainable, people will continue to get sick and die. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Oxfam has called on world leaders to come together, and take concrete steps to ensure that we find a vaccine for Coronavirus as quickly as possible. The leaders of South Africa, Senegal, Ghana, and Pakistan have already pledged their support to a People’s Vaccine, as has the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Gordon Brown. We are now calling on the White House and U.S. Congress to sign on and pledge full support for a People’s Vaccine. As per Oxfam’s People’s Vaccine campaign, the commitments include the following: A mandatory worldwide pooling of patents and sharing of all COVID-19-related knowledge, data and technologies in order to ensure that any nation can produce or buy affordable doses of vaccines, treatments and tests. The rapid establishment of an equitable global manufacturing and distribution plan for all vaccines, treatments and tests that is fully funded by rich nations and which guarantees transparent “at true cost prices” and supplies in accordance with need rather than the ability to pay. This would include urgent action to massively increase manufacturing capacity to produce the vaccines in sufficient quantities and train and recruit millions of health workers to distribute them. A guarantee that COVID-19 vaccines, treatments and tests are provided free of charge to everyone, everywhere, with priority given to frontline workers, vulnerable people and poor countries with the least capacity to save lives. If U.S. leaders signed onto this agreement, the impact would be felt worldwide: It would open the door for more leaders of Western countries to support this agreement, as well. We will undoubtedly quicken the process of finding treatment for Coronavirus by all coming together and pooling together resources and knowledge -- hundreds of thousands of lives (and possibly more) would be saved, and immeasurable pain and suffering will have been prevented.

We Support Dr. Oxiris BarbotSilence in this case presents a level of acceptance that is as deplorable as the act itself, and anything less than speaking out proves what we have been fighting against for decades: a bigotry that confines women – Latinas and women of color in general - to a place of subjugation that erases our accomplishments and contributions to this city and society at large.

Hazard PayIt's important because we been working through this crisis the whole time. We never shut down working 12hrs 6 days a week. We risk our lives an family lives because we go home to them not knowing if we have the virus or not. An the Bosses are at home with there family safe not really caring about us. I know that people at my facility have the virus an the company just send them home spray the machine down an keep it moving. If we are going to risk our lives we need to get paid. I work for a billion dollar company an they will not pay us.107 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Latisha Walker

Reparations for Black Americans NOW!!! Without Increasing Federal BudgetBlack American wealth is shrinking daily and our median net worth is projected to be zero by 2056. This reparations plan will pump billions of dollars into Black Businesses each year (for 225 years) and greatly increase the net worth of Black Americans. Black Americans are owed reparations and must receive it NOW!!!.63 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chuck Starks

Open up the bars and restaurants before JuneIf you wait until June to open bars and restaurants, we will not withstand this. It's killing us. I feel bars and restaurants can remove tables to comply with the distancing, can only allow for a certain amount of people in at a time, limit hours of business, and have the sanitation in check better than what the grocery stores are doing.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeri Derrickson

Give Landlords More RightsLandlords are being harassed and our properties are being destroyed no one is helping us to recover money for damages by tenants. Tenants are harassing landlords, creating it unsafe for landlords who live on the property. Tenants are not paying rent and continually harass and threaten and destroy our properties that we work hard for, which cause us to lose our properties or cause us to get hurt by tenants.36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Monica Mackay
