India P5 MemberIndia, a country with a population of 1.34 billion, is trying to get a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. They have support from countries all over the world, and have given the UNSC the most peacekeepers out of all countries, including current P5 members. India deserves a seat on the P5.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Farres Kamel

Address the Issue of Self-Driving Cars to the GovernmentI am researching this topic for my 8th Grade Speech and Debate class in Ridgewood, NJ. after asking around whether people would buy a self-driving car, I thought about what would convince people to be on board with the technology. If the government took action and decided what a car should do in an unavoidable accident, then the worries of many car makers and costumers will be lifted.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Sklar

Paying NCAA AthletesNCAA sports players make millions of dollars for their schools and for the NCAA yet they still get no money for it. Even though they can get scholarships, they still don't get what they deserve.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sean McCarthy

Pressure Uber and Lyft to Go 100% Electric By 2030!New research has shown that congestion has increased in large cities where Lyft and other ride-hailing services operate. At the same time, ride-hailing has simultaneously reduced transit ridership in nine major U.S. cities, including the three biggest. Both Lyft and Uber have run ads telling people to get out of public transit and into cars, and Uber even admits in its recent IPO filing that it views public transit as a competitor. Add your name here! Together we can put the pressure on Uber and Lyft to become true leaders of change in the fight against climate change and pollution.865 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Nathan Riding, Sierra Club

No War with Iran!The New York Tines reports that war mongers in the Trump administration are planning on sending thousands of troops to the Middle East to threaten Iran. We urge you to stand against this illegal plan and oppose any funding or approval for military action against the Iranian government or the people of the country, and to use your voice to speak out against violence and aggression against Iran.1,811 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Chris Stone

If MoveOn Claims to be ProgressiveThis petition is about Democracy and an inclusion of all candidates in MoveOn’s upcoming event on June 1st. I am tired of seeing Tulsi Gabbard smeared, not covered, and the false information which is being spread by the establishment, about her. Any organization, such as Moveon.org has the responsibility to ensure that the American people are represented completely and with full transparency. I am petitioning this organization because they have not invited Presidential candidate: Tulsi Gabbard to the stage on June 1st. Join me!122 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Joshua Hubble

No Financial Support without ActionI want this President stopped before our American Democracy is lost. The Democrats have the power to begin impeachment procedures. Yet they will not use it. Every day the President buries our Constitution a little deeper.... Where are the Democrats? Since the birth of this Country, ordinary Americans have been willing to fight for America. They have done it with everything they have. Sometimes facing terrible odds, often knowing they might fail. But they pressed on. Americans with that spirit still live here today... We are everywhere. We will not let the risks or the unknown stop us, nor will we waste time calculating the odds.... We will just fight with everything we have because we believe in the cause. There are millions of us... Where are the Democrats?.... Apparently they are waiting until they think it is safe to act because the polls say so. Or for some other "logical" reason?? Are they going to be heroes and leaders or are they just going to wait and analyze (while the house burns to the ground?). They are supposed to be our leaders and they have sworn to protect the constitution... Time for them to do both. If they are afraid to act then they should get out of the way. In which case, they will not need our financial support... Hence this petition....No more contributions to the Democratic Party until impeachment is initiated .15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard Pierce

HR-2419 - No Nukes, Yes Green New Deal!For those skeptical about being able to finance a "Green New Deal," this bill could provide that funding, if Congress would take it seriously. “Our bill is as timely as ever,” Norton said in her press release. “Although the United States possesses one of the largest nuclear arsenals, there are still plans to spend trillions of dollars more on these doomsday weapons while urgent domestic needs, including health care, infrastructure, and clean energy, face funding shortfalls. The United States can reestablish our moral leadership in the world by redirecting these funds to urgent domestic issues, not preparing for human extinction.” It's far past time to reverse this madness. Congress can do it. Eleanor Holmes Norton has been trying to do it! It's been stuck in the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committee. It needs to get to the floor for a vote ... WITHOUT mark-ups! Will you please help?26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ellen Thomas

Tell the FTC: Oppose the latest Big Pharma Merger!Bristol-Myers Squibb wants to spend $74 billion to buy out a rival, Celgene. It would be the largest pharmaceutical merger ever, and their consolidation would give the combined companies number one positions in oncology and cardiovascular drug sales. But there's something we can do to stop this mega-merger. We've seen what happens when big pharmaceutical companies merge -- drug prices soar. It happened to the Epi-Pen. It happened with arthritis drugs. It even happened with insulin. As patients, we bear the ever-increasing costs and many of us can't afford to keep paying and paying. Several of us depend on our prescriptions to stay alive, and nobody should have to choose between a roof over their head and the drugs they need to thrive. The Federal Trade Commission must listen to comments from the public before approving the merger. Here is our chance to speak up. This mega-merger will block the development and sale of affordable drugs and reduce competition just when we need more of it. We can't sit by and let Big Pharma get even bigger, at our expense. Take action and tell the FTC to protect patients by stopping this potential merger now.11,672 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Laura Packard

Tell GOP Leadership to Stop Attacking Muslim CongresswomenAs an American, I'm offended when people try to politicize 9/11. I'm deeply offended when people try to politicize global human rights atrocities suffered by Jewish people. There's a clear right wing anti-Muslim agenda that tries to paint American Muslims as anti-Semitic, anti-LGBTQ, and pro-terrorism. They are trying to divide Americans--and progressives in particular--and it's up to allies to speak up and speak out against this bigotry when we see it.1,288 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Scott Simpson, Muslim Advocates

Helping Children in India with their RightsThe website, savethechildren.net has a link where they talk about how they do plan to help but they need more people. What I plan to do is to make this petition for about 100-150 people to sign so we could send to their website because some people would love to help such as myself but can't donate money for reasons (THIS IS NOT A PROMOTION TO DONATE!!! THIS IS ONLY FOR AWARENESS!!!!). So we just want to show them that people care in America and we are aware of it so they could have more motivation. The reason we need to help the children who are in danger because they go through human trafficking, sex trafficking, child labor, abuse, and many more that are far too inappropriate for children. The flaw about this situation is that some people compared to 7.53 billion is enough to save most children in India; and in other places in fact. In order to do something about it from the other side of the world is to involve people. They are starting in India and they just need the money, not all of us have the money, but we can help by starting this petition to let the organization know that people in this country know and care. We all cannot physically do something major, but we can at least start off by creating awareness in America.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alaina Holguin

Get Equal Funding for Education NowI am starting this petition because although I was lucky enough to have a great education, it is extremely unfair that others cannot be as fortunate as I was. Education is an essential opportunity and each and every person should have the same privilege as I have. I plan to be a teacher and I want all of my students to have the opportunity and resources to be great.53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jessica Mosconi
