  • Help the Syrian Kurds
    I am sickened by our betrayal of the Syrian Kurds. They have fought hard to protect their homeland and have made the world a safer place by fighting ISIS; In return, we have left them open to ethnic cleansing.

  • Protect the immigrant workers who rebuild our homes after climate disasters
    My name is Saket Soni. I’m an organizer on the frontlines of recovery from climate disaster and work with a group called Resilience Force. We fight to protect the workers who rebuild our homes and communities. Hundreds of thousands of these workers are immigrants. As publications like the New York Times and Gizmodo have reported, these immigrant resilience workers face dangerous working conditions, homelessness, abuse, and attacks by immigration enforcers with no oversight—even as they work to help us all come home. In 2020, we need a president who will protect our resilience workforce: the people who make our recovery possible. TELL THESE CANDIDATES to pledge to give America’s resilience workers: • Dignity at work including safe working conditions and a living wage • Freedom from fear of deportation as they work to help local residents come home, and • Full citizenship in the America they’re rebuilding after climate disasters

  • Saudi Arabia: Stop blocking fuel to Yemen!
    In Yemen’s brutal civil war, Saudi Arabia’s dictatorship has used U.S. weapons to bomb and kill thousands of civilians. The Yemeni faction backed by the Saudi dictatorship is now blocking fuel transport ships from delivering their cargo to Yemeni society. As a result, new fuel shortages are threatening even more Yemeni lives. The Saudi-backed faction in Yemen is requiring exorbitant amounts of money as taxes before this fuel can be delivered. As a result, the cost of fuel in Yemen has doubled since September 2019. Multiple ships have been blocked from delivering their fuel. Without fuel, life is now even more miserable for Yemeni civilians. The problems now include: - New food and medicine shortages. - Fuel shortages for hospital generators. - Unprocessed sewage amidst a cholera epidemic. - Garbage that isn’t taken to landfills. - More unemployment for people desperate to work. The Saudi dictatorship and its allies in Yemen must stop blocking the delivery of fuel and end their exorbitant taxes on fuel imports to Yemen. The rival Houthi faction has also contributed to the humanitarian crisis, but this fuel tax was specifically created by the Saudi-backed government in Yemen. Yemeni people are facing a humanitarian catastrophe. Saudi Arabia and the Saudi-backed faction in Yemen must cancel the new fuel tax. Saudi Arabia and its military allies must end their horrible attacks on civilians in Yemen. Let the Yemeni people live. -- SOURCES -- “Cabinet Decree No. 49 of 2019 was successfully implemented,” Economic Committee of Yemen, September 13, 2019. https://ecyemen.com/announcements/1830/ “Lines as far as the eye can see: new fuel shortage hits Yemen,” Reuters, September 29, 2019. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-yemen-economy-fuel/lines-as-far-as-the-eye-can-see-new-fuel-shortage-hits-yemen-idUSKBN1WE0BF “Yemen fuel shortage: health concerns rise as rubbish piles up,” Al Jazeera, October 9, 2019. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/10/yemen-fuel-shortage-health-concerns-rise-rubbish-piles-191009061650943.html "Fuel Shortages Deepen Crisis in Yemen,” Save the Children, October 9, 2019. https://www.savethechildren.org/us/about-us/media-and-news/2019-press-releases/fuel-shortages-deepen-crisis-in-yemen-save-the-children

  • Goldsby Rezoning
    For those of us who use Goldsby to get to our homes, adding commercial space this far north on Goldsby would create increased traffic and make the already unsafe intersection of 98 and Goldsby even more dangerous.

  • Naparyarmiut
    In an effort to decolonize from forced assimilation, many of us, the descendants of Naparyarmiut, would prefer to legally acknowledge our home town by its original Yup'ik name. The northernmost U.S. city, Utqiagvik, was successful in reverting back to their traditional Inupiaq name and so has the Yup'ik village, Nunam Iqua. There is power in a name. Naparyarmiut warriors were strong and fierce. It's time we take our power back that the colonizers took from us when they changed the name of our beautiful sea-side village to "Hooper Bay". Please, sign this petition if you are in support of changing the name of "Hooper Bay" back to our traditional name, "Naparyarmiut".

  • Appeal flavored juice ban
    Vaping has helped many people quit smoking cigarettes. Due to people buying knock off online juices and THC cartridges, they gained lung disease. The CDC has proven flavored vape products that are purchased in-store did not cause any health issues. It is actually a healthier approach than cigarettes. Teenagers have their hands on these products as well, yet they get their hands on cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs but nobody has banned any of those products. There is absolutely no reason to ban a helpful product.
