THEY DID IT!!!! The U.S. Women's National Soccer Team (USWNT) just won their FOURTH World Cup title!! These incredible, hardworking, and talented athletes are an incredible force and inspiration to us all. But despite their success, women soccer players are still paid significantly less than men—even though the U.S. men's team has never made the same advances, or had the same success, as the women's team. The U.S. men's team didn't even qualify for the last World Cup tournament. These women are high-performing athletes, and they should be compensated fairly. Sign the petition demanding equal pay for the members of the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. "It certainly is not fair." Those five simple words from co-captain Megan Rapinoe sum up the problem, and we know the solution is equal pay for these inspiring athletes. The women's contract says they stand to make a grand total of $200,000 each for winning the World Cup, while men in a similar position would have made over $1 million each. We demand equal pay. In addition to bringing home championships, the U.S. women's team is also bringing in lots of revenue. The U.S. Women's National Team jersey is the best-selling Nike soccer jersey EVER. And the women's team has brought in more revenue than the men's team for the past three years. Women soccer players are suing the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) for equal pay, but court battles take a long time and a lot of money. USSF could fix this right now, without the courts, by paying all of the players' salaries and bonuses equally, regardless of gender. That would show little girls everywhere that they deserve the same opportunities boys do. Will you sign this petition telling U.S. Soccer to pay women fairly?

As a coalition of Social Work students, we are upholding our duty to advocate for the self-determination of those we will one day serve. Under the NASW Code of Ethics, the "gag rule" impedes upon the decision-making ability of woman to seek medical counsel if even considering abortion. We appeal to Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar to reconsider his support, and lend his support to protecting the doctrines of basic human services.

George W. Bush and his White House committed war crimes, including the greatest war crime of all, starting a war of choice. Yet these people are still free, and one of them (Bolton) is trying his best to repeat his crimes on a grander scale.

My son was kidnapped by CYS of Centre County, PA

Hovey Playground has aging equipment that has chipped paint, ripped swings, broken and all metal equipment, which has been unsafe for the neighborhood kids. There is little equipment for children under 5 and most of the parks in Lowell have been upgraded except for this one, which has been left to slowly decay. I would like to see the town address this problem and see more children being able to enjoy it.

Residents of the Villas at Hunton Park appreciate that rules and regulations help maintain the safety and beauty of the community. But, we're calling for a restoration of civility and reason in the enforcement of rules that are not codified by the Villas bylaws or County, State, or Federal law. Multiple families have been asked to cease throwing a small ball in the pool because it breaks the no "ball play" rule. The lifeguard has been asked to focus on strict enforcement of rules--even when safety is not a concern. Residents are being reported to the Board for all infractions--even if they are alone in the pool and not causing harm. Pool rules and conduct of the lifeguard should be focused on protecting the health and safety of residents, allowing broad enjoyment of the facility, and protecting the facility from damage. We ask the Board to urgently implement reasonable enforcement of current rules and cease threatening residents for offenses that do not cause harm. Right now it is the overly strict enforcement of pool rules rather than breaking of said pool rules that is causing discord within the community. VHP Board, please take immediate action to restore normalcy to pool use oversight and cease punitive actions against residents enjoying the pool and pool area in ways that do not adversely affect others.

Macy's management has engaged in lies, intimidation, and bribing tactics against their own cosmetics and fragrance associates at the Downtown Boston Macy's. This kind of attack to break their efforts to unionize is unacceptable. It's important for our communities, friends and families to stand behind these brave workers as they fight for a better future and VOTE UNION YES this July 19th - 2019.

Dear Fellow MoveOn Members, I was saddened by a Washington Post article called, "Cocoa's Child Laborers". The link to the Washington Post article is included for your convenience: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/business/hershey-nestle-mars-chocolate-child-labor-west-africa/?utm_term=.5c5ac7afe286 This article discussed the current slavery of children at cocoa farms in Africa. Children, some as young as 5 years old, are either stolen from their parents or run away and forced into slavery at cocoa farms. It is estimated that 179 million young children are exploited and forced to work in horrible conditions that would be deplorable to the average American. A day’s work at a cocoa farm is not good work for an adult and it is truly an inhumane act to force children to work these farms. However, this modern day slavery is kept alive and thriving by you, me, all of us. Everyday, Americans eat chocolate candy, chocolate bars, chocolate cake and other food items containing chocolate that are made from the hands of child slaves. As of today’s date, NO American company (Mars, Nestle, Hershey) can state and certify that 100% of their products are free of slavery. Our United States companies know these products are made with the hands of enslaved children and yet, they are OK with this fact. These companies reported to the US government and to different media outlets, that they are trying and have been trying for twenty years to stop the use of slave labor in their chocolate products. However, they have concluded it is just too hard. It is too hard to stop buying products and crops from farms using children as slaves. It is too hard to buy products and crops from farms that do not use slave labor. So, for the last 20 years, our American companies present plans, promises, and presentations to government officials and continue to buy items, crops and products produced from enslaved children. There is no accountability for our American companies to stop enslaving children with their support of slavery at cocoa farms. This petition is designed to draw the attention to the issue and to request US legislation to be created with the following action items: 1) Call for labels and certifications on each piece of chocolate sold in the United States that children slaves were not used in the production of that item. 2) Implement and Enforce 19 USC Section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and refuse the entry of cocoa, cocoa products, or chocolate that is produced or manufactured from the use of enslaved children. 3) Impose fines and penalties for American companies who do not achieve the US approved goals and objectives, as promulgated by the American company, for eradicating the slavery of children from the chocolate industry. Please sign this petition and send a message to our government and American companies to stop making empty promises and to start eradicating the slavery of children at cocoa farms. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Rich People seem to RULE in the US government. It's time to limit money in the election process where money is used to buy votes. No more vote buying!

Despite their GMO-free status, testing completed at Anresco, a laboratory registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), found glyphosate residues in Cheerios as well as other popular foods. General Mills' Cheerios are one of the first solid foods many parents feed to their children. They're small, convenient and easy to chew — and there's even a section on the Cheerios website for "new parents who have invited … original Cheerios to introduce their children to finger foods." When I heard this, I was appalled when I realized how widespread this problem was, since most parent use Cheerios as their go-to snack for their children. Every time I see one of Monsanto's ads for Roundup on The History Channel I promise myself to do something. This is why I am starting this petition. ________________________________________

I am a Family Therapist who works with children and families every day. I cannot look away from glaring child abuse. Our government's intentional terrorizing and traumatizing of the poor, and especially children, is unconscionable. This is a dark day for the U.S. that we would allow this treatment to happen to anyone, let alone innocent children and their parents who are fleeing impossible conditions in their own countries, brought on, in part, by our backing of their own corrupt governments. Please speak up now for all those stranded at inhumane border stations.
