Save Chaco Canyon from FrackingAs an anthropologist, educator, humanist, and member of The El Dorado County Indian Council, Inc., and a 75-year-old citizen of this country, I have spent my entire adult life involved in teaching students and others the value of protecting Native American rights, culture, and prehistory. Fracking is one of the most destructive means of assault on our environment, and it will surely destroy Chaco Canyon and other National Parks if it is allowed to happen.36,995 of 40,000 SignaturesCreated by James Snoke

Stabilize climate chaos with living forest protectionsThis petition is about recognizing the importance of our natural mature forests in providing a way through climate chaos. We must recognize the value of living forests before they fall to greed and it is too late to grow 100 year-old trees in a snap to protect us! The town I live in is about 37 square miles and a large percentage of this is state forest. We also serve as watershed for most of our adjoining towns. Biomass wood pellet companies are currently de-foresting North Carolina to feed European biomass electricity generation. We do not want Massachusetts to allow its forests to be destroyed for temporary corporate profit.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cynthia Lawton-Singer

Make election day a federal holiday — not Columbus dayAmericans have fought hard for our democracy in countless ways over the decades. Soldiers have fought and died to preserve it, and activists have struggled throughout our history to expand and protect the right to vote for all our citizens. We all deserve a day to honor and practice democracy on Election Day in November. By switching out Columbus Day as a federal holiday and exchanging it for Election Day, we make sure we are celebrating and advancing real American values, not glorifying a legacy of colonialism and genocide.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eli Kasargod-Staub

Save The Wambaw Cycle OHV Trails/Francis Marion National Forest From The Negative Impact Of A Sch...The USFS is having a timber sale (or possibly already has) and has already painted thousands of trees for removal which will negatively impact the recreation of OHV riders in the Francis Marion National Forest. It appears that this will negatively impact approximately 13 of the only 18 miles of the North Trails (or 76%+/-!). Please help stop this before it is too late! With over 250,000 acres, surely there are other areas that could be harvested rather than ruining a recreation site. A portion of the South section of trails was cut and destroyed last year, with many more painted trees pending more cutting and removal and has not been repaired, restored or replanted (if this is even planned). We do not want this to happen any more on any of these precious trails.765 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Ella Belair

Stop Trump's Fake National Emergency. No Racist Wall. No Power Grab.The only crisis at the border is the humanitarian crisis fueled by the Trump administration's attacks on immigrants, separation of families, and criminalization of asylum-seekers. Yet, Trump—in his crusade for a racist, wasteful, unpopular wall—is now planning to declare a fake "national emergency" to seize broad executive power to circumvent Congress and grab funds from other agencies for his wall. The American public does not want this wall and Congress doesn't want to fund it. So Trump, who has been attacking immigrants as a core part of his governing agenda, is now taking extraordinary action to disregard Congress and the Constitutional balance of power. Even Republicans have said this would be vast overreach. Fortunately, there is a Congressional remedy—under the National Emergencies Act, Congress can vote to cancel the state of emergency. Congress can, and must, act now.1,933 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Van Le, America's Voice

Thank you, Stacey Abrams!Stacey Abrams delivered a response that offered more truth about our country and a more powerful vision than the State of the Union Address itself! She reminded us what an inclusive, kind, and experienced leader looks like—in a rebuke to the lies, vitriol, and desperate authoritarianism of Trump's own speech. And in doing so, she provided a model for other progressive champions that is principled, values-based, and compelling. Thank you, Stacey Abrams—for speaking for all of us, for listening to the needs of the American people who suffer from voter suppression, who want a government accountable to the people, and who appreciate a champion committed to fighting for us every day! We stand with Stacey Abrams and her vision for our country. Once this petition receives 50,000 signatures I will make sure it gets *personally* delivered to Stacey Abrams!1,204 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Cam T. Ashling

SC wants Lindsey Graham to Protect MuellerUPDATE: Robert Mueller has just submitted his report on Donald Trump's potential collusion and obstruction of justice. His official findings have been sent to Trump's Attorney General William Barr. This is our moment. Graham must support legislation to force Barr to make Mueller's report and underlying findings public. If he continues to block and conceal the report, we must take to the streets. The House voted 420 to 0 to release the Mueller report. But Lindsey Graham is blocking it in the Senate, saying "I'm just making a political point." We need to make sure he gets the point, and call on him to take action NOW. It is imperative that Congress protect Special Counsel Robert Mueller to ensure that he is able to complete his investigation and release the full report on his findings to the public. So far, Mueller's investigation has turned up eight guilty pleas and twenty-nine indictments, the most recent being Trump's longtime adviser, Roger Stone. Stone's arrest proves that Mueller's investigation continues to be effective and that there is still more to come. Mueller must be allowed to keep working until the investigation is complete, at which point his findings should be released to the public. We have a right to know the whole truth about what this investigation uncovers. If our President committed a crime, we deserve to know what it was and all the details surrounding it. It is time to demand that our Congress protect Mueller as he finishes his investigation and guarantees that the report is released to all of us.1,297 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by drew Hudson
