GoFundMe: Don't Let Killer Cops ProfitWe demand that GoFundMe immediately suspend the "Officer Daniel Pantaleo's family help fund," fundraiser that is currently being hosted on your site. Daniel Pantaleo murdered Eric Garner. I watched the video, I heard Garner say "I can't breathe," 11 times, but Pantaleo refused to stop. I watched Eric Garner die, over allegedly selling loose cigarettes, a petty misdemeanor at best. GoFundMe needs to immediately suspend the "Officer Daniel Pantaleo's family help fund," fundraiser for the following reasons: 1. The medical examiner ruled Eric Garner's death a homicide. 2. The NYPD's administrative judge ruled that Pantaleo should be fired for his use of the illegal chokehold, which led to the untimely death of Eric Garner. Stating that Pantaleo was "untruthful," in his description of the events that took place. 3. NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill fired Pantaleo for his role in the murder of Eric Garner on August 19, 2019. GoFundMe's policy clearly states you prohibit "items that promote hate, violence, racial intolerance, or the financial exploitation of a crime," and Daniel Pantaleo committed murder on video, and was fired from his job because of it. Pantaleo has been receiving a salary the past five years, and GoFundMe should not continue to allow him to profit off of the murder of an innocent man! GoFundMe needs to refund all the money collected, and stop this fundraiser right now!273 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Malachi Robinson, Color Of Change

Tell Congress to stand against the influence of white supremacy and the NRAWhy has Congress been unable to take even the smallest step forward in reducing gun violence, despite strong public support for measures like banning military-style semi-automatic assault rifles and high capacity magazines (67%) and universal background checks (97%)? Here’s the truth: White supremacy has been at the root of this inaction throughout our nation’s history, and the National Rifle Association (NRA) utilizes racist and xenophobic messaging to mobilize and grow its base of activists. Until we acknowledge this truth and call out white supremacy and the racist tactics of the NRA, we will continue to suffer the deadly consequences as elected leaders are immobilized by their influence. The Second Amendment was in part originally added to the U.S. Constitution to appease southern colonies that feared the “tyranny” of a federal government that could expropriate their armed militias -- militias they stated they needed in order to control people who were enslaved. [1] 18th-century regulations governing militias specifically prohibited Native American and Black people from participating as arms-bearing members. [2] And the National Rifle Association, whose mission is defending Second Amendment rights, has a long, well-documented record of employing racist and xenophobic rhetoric and tactics [3] that directly draws from the United States’ shameful history of slavery and racism, serving as dog whistles to the many white supremacists in its base of supporters. It’s time to face the truth and call out how the Second Amendment was used to continue slavery and how it currently is being invoked by the NRA, encouraging white supremacists to commit domestic terrorism.

Stop Trump's internet censorship planDonald Trump and Ajit Pai already dealt a huge blow to internet freedom when they ended net neutrality last year. This new proposal is a dramatic escalation in Trump's attack on free speech. His executive order would allow the FCC and FTC, led by his handpicked cronies, to initiate regulatory action against companies that don't police speech online in exactly the way Trump wants. This is an authoritarian proposal that would erode our freedoms online at precisely the moment when a free and open internet is most essential.609 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

The Impact of 30 Years: Null and VoidAfter 30 years of outstanding service as the Director of the Award-winning North Carolina A&T State Gospel Choir (GC) and the recent Golden Anniversary celebration, Ron Jones was informed by the administration that he was “retiring”, effective immediately. The administration continued to insist that Ron chose to retire and have been vague when asked about the abruptness of the decision, only stating that the choir is heading in a “new direction”. Throughout this ordeal, Ron has maintained that he did not retire, nor did he tender a letter of resignation. Needless to say, this abrupt decision left the current gospel choir frustrated and confused, while the University sought to replace Ron. Although, we as alumni and supporters of the choir understand that the position has now been filled and that the current choir has resumed normal function, continuing its legacy, we want it to be known that the manner in which Mr. Jones was released was without cause, disrespectful and took no consideration into the 30 years of service that he has rendered, not just to the University, but the surrounding Greensboro community and the world. The way in which Mr. Jones was released, showed that the service and dedication that Ron rendered was completely disregarded by the University and subsequently showed that they did not care. This type of action is not representative of the institution that we know and love. This type of action does not constitute what "Aggies Do." This type of action, in know way, exemplifies "Aggie Pride." If you are in agreement, please join us.356 of 400 SignaturesCreated by NC A&T Alumni Fellowship Gospel Choir

No Vote, No PaySince Mitch McConnell has dubbed himself the "Grim Reaper" and refuses to bring any bills that the House has already passed to the Senate floor for a vote, Senator's paychecks should be suspended. The Senate's failure to act on behalf of the American people, while receiving tax dollars for salaries, is Taxation Without Representation.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Deborah D Weinhart

STOP HUD from disclosing Personal Identifying Information(PII)The potential for fraud & identity theft is great. HUD's disclosure of this information is illegal. Link to HUD's Confidentiality Agreement: C:\Users\trist\Desktop\confi.html "HUD has determined to permit the Reviewer to review and inspect certain documents, databases containing imaged documents, personally identifiable information, data and other information relating to the Mortgage Loans" "Currently, FHA’s platform is built on a more than 40-year-old mainframe system that runs an obsolete programming language. The risk that this presents to FHA and, by extension, to the American taxpayer, is significant. Not only is FHA’s current IT system outdated—it is unreliable." Does the above statement from HUD keep anyone up at night? "A former employee committed identity theft to create phony HUD pay stubs and identification cards. He used the identities to create credit and to order expensive electronics, which he would sell online from his HUD computer." Need I say more?19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by sandra lopaz

Democratic Presidential Candidates: Support Hong Kong!Dear Democratic Presidential Candidates: As Democratic presidential hopefuls, I urge you to issue a statement, either jointly or individually, affirming your support for the courageous democratic movement in Hong Kong. In the current trade conflict with China, despite being in a negotiating position to exert pressure on China to respect the democratic institutions of Hong Kong, Trump's criticism of and warnings toward China have been tepid and he has never voiced full support for the protestors. America is experiencing a moral vacuum in its highest office. Show the world that, under a Democratic president, America can still be a beacon for freedom across nations. Come out with a statement of support for the people of Hong Kong, especially its valiant young people who are not only risking arrest but their future livelihoods by hitting the streets against a repressively authoritarian and arguably totalitarian regime. As Chinese troops loom both in Hong Kong and nearby Shen Zhen, some may even be risking their lives. Representatives Castro Castro and Klobuchar, I urge you also to consider cosponsoring the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 introduced by Rep Chris Smith. Senators Booker, Harris, Sanders, and Warren: I urge you to consider cosponsoring the Senate version of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 introduced by Marco Rubio. If members of the House or Senate have objections to the particulars of these particular bills, I urge them to introduce their own legislation. I would also urge all candidates to make a personal or group visit to the island, which would give a tremendous morale boost to the movement and perhaps even dissuade China from taking military action. Respectfully submitted.208 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Ed Kilcullen

Keep Medical Deferral ProgramA Boston teenager hospilalized with Cystic Fibrosis will have to go to Honduras -a country unable to treat his lung disease. A heart patient in between life saving surgeries will be out of luck. A woman needing weekly infusions will return to Guatemala were her spinal cord will compress uncontrollably. This is inhumane.206 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Paul Clayton
