Pelosi and Democratic Party Leadership: Democrats have the House. Now we demand a real climate plan.Developments show the Democratic Party leadership has no intention of fighting for a real climate plan in the new Congress. With the UN’s recent climate report, that's unacceptable. The science is undisputed, we have the technology, and the public is overwhelmingly on the side of bold action on climate and jobs -- the only thing standing in the way of a livable future is the failure of political leadership. Add your voice to ours. Tell Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Leadership: 1. Champion a Green New Deal that would create millions of good jobs to transform society over the next decade to stop climate change. This means creating a committee tasked specifically to write policy on creating jobs and moving our country off fossil fuels over the designated 12 years that the IPCC has given us. Let’s protect the lives of all working people -- black, brown, and white -- from the ravages of disaster and pollution. 2. Mandate that any Democrat in leadership must take the No Fossil Fuel Money pledge and reject campaign contributions from fossil fuel executives and lobbyists and prioritize the health of people and planet over industry profits. Oil and gas executives profit off a business model that's incompatible with the future of human civilization. It's time for the Democratic Party to reject their influence wholesale. A rising generation of young people of all backgrounds helped flip the House with a record turnout. We will no longer tolerate empty promises and words without action. We’re not expecting miracles -- we understand that the GOP is corrupted by dirty oil money and will stall us at every turn. We know that sweeping change isn’t possible until Trump is gone -- but we need to start laying the groundwork and put forward our vision for America now. We’re asking Democrats to step up to the fight alongside us. And if they are unwilling, they should step aside and make way for new leadership that will.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sunrise Movement

Facebook: Fire Joel Kaplan for leading a racist smear campaignA damning new report from The New York Times revealed that Facebook executive Joel Kaplan is leading a smear campaign targeting Color Of Change and other civil rights groups critical of the company. Facebook has been seeding right-wing hit pieces and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories based on racist tropes in response to our efforts to ensure the safety of Black users on the platform. Kaplan hired a Republican public relations firm for the express purpose of undermining Color Of Change and other organizations who have held them publicly accountable for their harmful practices. Facebook’s choices fed into the same far-right conspiracy theory that resulted in a pipe bomb in George Soros’s mailbox, along with a slew of hit pieces against our organization and staff by Breitbart and other outlets that cater to dangerous figures. Through this investigative journalism we’ve learned that while we sat across the negotiation table with Facebook for years, Facebook’s leaders were giving oxygen to the worst anti-Semitic conspiracy theories of white nationalists to undermine our work. We have been working for years to ensure the safety of Black users by demanding protections for Black leaders doxxed by white supremacists on Facebook; working to ensure Facebook has transparent and just moderation policies; and demanding that Facebook put an end to racially targeted digital voter suppression. While we were operating in good faith to protect our communities, Facebook and Joel Kaplan were using the hateful tactics of the same far-right actors they were enabling on their platform. As long as Kaplan is working at Facebook, we cannot trust Facebook to combat hate on their platform, address online voter suppression efforts and disinformation campaigns, or properly conduct the public civil rights audit currently under way. Demand Facebook immediately fire Joel Kaplan for his role in leading a racist and anti-Semitic smear campaign against Color Of Change and other civil rights groups342 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Rashad Robinson, Color of Change

AmazonSmile: Stop funding Alaska Family CouncilAlaska Family Council has spearheaded multiple attempts to ban gay marriage and repeal protections against transgender individuals. They continue to spread hateful propaganda and promote legislation against lesbian, gay, transgender, and other groups that do not share their worldview. These activities are clear violations of AmazonSmile's Participation Agreement and Amazon must revoke their participation in the program.96 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Diane Heaney-Mead

Family Separation at the BorderThis is an issue in our present day because families should be sticking together, especially immigrant/minority families, to deal with the crisis our country has to deal with today, Donald Trump being President. He should not be allowed to make such unjust regulations such as hauling parents away from their kids, and have kids living in cages as part of their chapter of horrors. It ruins the United States' image of freedom, liberty, and diversity. We already have restrictive national security that we have to deal with, but let's not have ourselves thinking that the separation of families is okay.31 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephanie Lopez

This petition is requesting the voluntary resignation of New Jersey department of transportation commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti for lack of competency and ability to perform her job in times of need.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jason Webb

Refugee Caravan: Hear Their StoriesA caravan of refugees has been walking as far as from Honduras all the way to the U.S.-Mexico border to escape their dangerous realities back home. They are forced to leave their homes because of gang violence, abusive governments, and more. Trump says they are criminals but he is wrong- they are families and people who are in search of a safer, better life.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cira

Tell 7-Eleven to end its abusive practices against immigrant franchisees!Media outlets recently reported how Joe DePinto, the CEO of the 7-Eleven company, has called ICE on franchisees who have organized and filed complaints against the company’s controversial policies. The popular convenience store company, which grew into an American icon thanks to the hard work of immigrants and their families, was proud of its diverse staff and franchisees - right up until the federal government reprimanded it a couple of years ago after failing to handle legal issues of some well-known franchise owners. Now, the company's new paranoid CEO, Joe DePinto, is launching a full-frontal assault against any franchise he suspects of being a troublemaker or underperformer. Most notably, DePinto has planted hidden cameras and listening devices inside stores, handed franchisees’ personal information to the federal government so that immigration authorities could inspect their stores, and sent unmarked vehicles after certain store owners who complain about 7-Eleven contentious practices - which often eat into franchisee profits and force them to carry unsustainable inventories. By allowing Joe Depinto's behavior to go unchecked, 7-Eleven is demonstrating how far it's willing to go to abuse and intimidate the franchisees that helped build the company - especially those who are people of color or come from immigrant backgrounds. It is shameful for a company like 7-Eleven to allow Joe DePinto to demonize store owners who want to earn an honest living, especially by enabling him to use the same hateful and racist tactics Donald Trump uses to intimidate minorities. 7-Eleven must reform its abusive corporate culture immediately!218 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Juan Escalante
