Essential workers in GeorgiaWe, the workers are risking our health as well as our families health. We cannot quarantine. If we decide to stay home we risk losing our jobs. Most of us are not eligible for the paid leave, and that is only if our our companies provide that offer, most do not.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tracy Boswell

West Point Commandant: Hold a Virtual GraduationI have watched in amazement as President Trump declared he would be the commencement speaker at West Point in May. West Point had planned to ask him to be the speaker, but they had thought to delay the graduation ceremony until June. Mr. Trump's unexpected announcement, that he would be the commencement speaker on May 15, caught West Point unawares. I believe they are totally flummoxed by this announcement, which was made after Vice President Pence spoke at the Air Force Academy graduation this month. The president is doing this to benefit his own political progress towards re-election, not to honor the cadets or West Point. He is determined to have more attention directed at himself and the marvelous job he is doing. It is a major diversion from the catastrophe of his lack of leadership in the COVID-19 pandemic. Tell the West Point Commandant that in order to protect the lives of the graduating cadets, their families, the people they would come into contact with in their travels to West Point and back home, and the West Point staff, the graduation ceremony should be redirected from in-person attendance by the graduating cadets to a virtual graduation. The president could still be the commencement speaker from the White House, and his speech could be broadcast nationwide. Please consider the health protections of all who would be involved in an in-person West Point graduation. This must be stopped!7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nadine Wiles

All workers to receive the extra $600 each week in their checksIts' important because people are putting their lives at risk to provide for their families and go to work to keep their jobs. They are being forced to go back to work, and are making less money then someone sitting home, which is crazy.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nicole Pirrone

All Workers With Reduced Income or Furloughed due to Covid-19 should receive PUA.Because many Americans are losing income because they fall into the traditional unemployment base income limits to receive benefits. Many Americans continue to work second jobs or reduced hours that put them over the limits to qualify for PUA even though they are making substantially less money, and not getting 100% of their traditional income. The PUA was set up to help Americans replace 100% of their income, but many of us are being excluded due to the base income limits. Yet people who are getting the PUA benefits are not working at all and making substantially more than those working reduced hours or second jobs. Everyone who lost wages or were furloughed should be entitled to the PUA benefits equally and traditional base income limits should not be used if you income has been reduced or lost as a direct result of Covid-19.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mary Beth DiCello

Healthcare Student Loan ForgivenessThis would be an awesome way to thank those who risk their lives and the lives of their families everyday to selflessly help others. This pandemic is proof that all those in place are deserving of the diplomas and degrees related to their prospective fields of employment. Please form a full pardon or a great percentage of relief of their debt and lighten the burden on them. These workers juggle everyday with going to work or not. While others have no hesitation at all about going above and beyond doing their job. They are indeed the HERO'S we need through it all.44 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tanya Purdie

Stop Abortion Bans NowAbortions are time sensitive and an often difficult but needed choice for millions of women across the country. Women are humans and have a right to freely govern their own bodies. No one has the right to place their "moral" or "religious" beliefs on another. Women choose to abort fetuses for various reasons and they shouldn't be shamed or prevented from doing so. These bans during the pandemic are an excuse to continue to skirt Roe vs Wade. Stop policing women's bodies.59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eva Jones

It's Physical Distancing with Social ConnectionReaching out to neighbors and friends, even if it is virtually, can help our society thrive even in the face of a pandemic. If we choose, instead, to curl in on ourselves and ignore the plight of those around us, we lose part of our humanity. It is important to preserve our compassion. This period in history is difficult, but we can ease some of the pain if we remember that we are not alone and that we have the power to help ourselves and others.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Celia Padnos

Access to Abortion is a Protected RightThe medical welfare of a pregnant woman who decides to end her pregnancy is ensured at a greater rate of efficacy during early evacuation of the embryo as opposed to having to wait longer. Prolonging the pregnancy only increases the possibilities of more numerous and more serious medical complications.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marlene Montgomery

Ask Governor Ducey not to reopen Arizona til the corona #s flattenArizona is a retirement state. Many older people live in our state - if our hospitals are overwhelmed because we have -re-opened too early I fear for the vulnerable in our communities. If the hospitals are overwhelmed people with secondary health conditions (heart, asthma, diabetes) risk not being able to get the treatment they need to live.129 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Maxine Krasnow

End the lockdown and the stay at home orderBecause people need to start protesting and getting their lives back to normal again and letting kids have a life playing sports going to school. People need to start going back to work and making money. You are making us American people suffer and it's not right. We need to work go back to every day life and have a life back and enjoy our lives and stop this crap. Because people are killing themselves and jumping off bridges and buildings and people are oding and this is not right so hurry up and fix this. You need to step up and open up our New Jersey state up quickly and stop spreading fear and let us have our freedom back.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lynn Thompson
