Selene Saavedra Roman was brought to the United States from Peru when she was 3 years old. She graduated college at Texas A&M and was granted legal status under DACA. She is married to a U.S. citizen and is on her way to full citizenship in the only country she’s ever known. But now, she is sitting in an ICE detention center - where she has been held for over a month in inhumane conditions - and threatened with deportation to a country she's never known. Selene had just started her dream job as a flight attendant when she was scheduled for a flight to Mexico. She raised concern with her supervisor, but the airline mistakenly insisted she would be fine to travel. Being new on the job, she agreed to work the flight. But when she returned, customs pulled her aside and detained her. After 24 hours in detention at the airport, she was transferred to ICE custody where she has been held in “prison conditions.” Immigration hearings are scheduled for next month, but they could end with deportation for someone who has done nothing but follow all of the rules. We demand that Selene immediately be released, reunited with her husband, and all charges against her dropped. The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA is mobilizing for Selene. Join us. Bring her home. You can read more about Selene's story here: https://thepointsguy.com/news/ice-detains-flight-attendant-daca/

Killing of innocent cats for experiments that are funded by our tax dollars is unacceptable! No more killing of innocent lives "A shocking watchdog report alleges that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) spent $22.5 million conducting "unnecessary and unjustifiable" research that involved killing cats and forcing "kitten cannibalism," among other unsavory practices."

I am a Jewish liberal and am very concerned with the very biased survey that was ran by moveon.org to encourage boycotting of the AIPAC conference. I fear that this great liberal movement is being misled by people with hidden agendas.

Because I have Many connections on Disability that Can Not work. They are under the age to collect Social Security benefits and depend on SSDI to Live off off.

The United States has been in a state of continuous, global, open-ended military conflict since 2001. We have been at war for so long that Americans born 17 years ago can now enlist to fight in a war that began before they were born. These wars have had devastating consequences for the military community, our nation, and the whole planet. As veterans and military families, we are tired of endless war, and we are asking our leaders to pledge that they will bring these wars to an end. We are also demanding that Congress reclaim its powers of oversight on matters of foreign policy. We cannot afford more reckless wars, and we need Democratic leaders who will boldly stand for a progressive, moral vision of U.S. involvement overseas.

We are poisoning ourselves, the earth, our water supply and the insects that pollinate our food with dangerous chemicals. It is time we stopped! Please show CORPORATE LEADERSHIP and have TARGET and its family friendly stores remove Roundup and other products containing glyphosates from your shelves!

California police unions are leading a fight to stop a landmark police transparency law from fully taking effect. If they win, the public will lose the right to know whether police officers have been accused of excessive force, sexual assault, and other official wrongdoing that took place before this year. Until January 1, 2019, California police officers' disciplinary records were kept under lock and key. Journalists couldn't find out whether a police officer had a record of excessive force complaints. The public wasn't permitted to learn if the cops in their neighborhood had been accused of sexual assault on the job. Even attorneys defending their clients in court couldn't directly find out whether an officer had a record of lying on the stand or falsifying reports. That all changed when Senate Bill 1421 took effect. California's police unions are fighting to prevent SB 1421 from applying retroactively. In Los Angeles, San Francisco, and elsewhere, police unions have filed lawsuits to prevent disciplinary records from being released. Citing the police unions' efforts, the California Department of Justice has not honored public records requests from news organizations. Some police departments have even destroyed old records, preventing the public from ever accessing them. And some activists have reported exorbitant fees for disciplinary records requests meant to discourage requests. Making disciplinary records publicly available helps us hold police officers accountable for bad behavior, hold police departments accountable for appropriate training and discipline, and hold city governments accountable for exercising appropriate oversight over police forces. Police unions want to help their members avoid accountability when they act out of accordance with community standards, even at the cost of public safety and good relationships between police departments and the communities they serve. This has to end. We call on California's police unions, police departments, and public officials to immediately begin fully complying with SB 1421. They must drop any legal opposition to retroactively releasing police disciplinary records, and quickly honor public records requests at a reasonable cost to the public.

We are petitioning for rear facing blue lights on tow trucks in Texas and across the united states. we would like to use the rear facing blue lights just as state highway workers are allowed. But only while working on an active roadway while stationary picking up vehicles. This would be life saving if implemented.

Round Up is a proven cancer causing as well as a killer of bees and butterflies, already banned in over 50 countries and the EU.

We all know what a Dome is and it is a cruel injustice that the University of Idaho has named its indoor sports arena/complex after such a shape when it is so clearly not a 'dome'. Really, it looks more like a tipped over tin can. Architecturally speaking it would make much more sense for the enclosure to be called the "Kibbie Vault" due to the series of vaults holding up the roof, or even the "Kibbie Quonset Hut". SIgn this petition to end the confusion this cruel misnomer has caused.

Any progressive vying to be the Democratic nominee for president should skip the AIPAC conference. Here are four reasons why: #1. AIPAC spent tens millions of dollars in 2015 to defeat the Iran nuclear deal negotiated by President Obama along with our European and international allies––a historic diplomatic agreement that Trump has tried to derail since taking office. #2. This year's AIPAC conference is headlined by Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, under whose leadership, according to the U.N., Israel may have committed war crimes in attacks on Gaza. Netanyahu has also been indicted on bribery and fraud charges, and he recently made a deal to bring the "Israeli KKK" ultra-racist party into the next government. #3. AIPAC has been known to peddle anti-Muslim and anti-Arab rhetoric while giving platforms to Islamophobes. #4. AIPAC has refused to condemn the antisemitism of Republicans, such as Trump’s friend and advisor Steve Bannon. Bannon’s wife reported that he had their kids removed from a school because of “the number of Jews that attend”, and that “he didn’t want the girls going to school with Jews. While many groups condemned Bannon, Politico reported that AIPAC “declined to weigh in." Many candidates have now confirmed they are not attending the conference. And it is time for others to join them!

It's excessive and getting worse each year. CVS should stop this practice and demonstrate, as they have done effectively before, that they are sensitive to the needs of this planet.
