Save USPS: Stop Louis DeJoy from shuttering post offices!USPS funding is a major equity concern. The postal service is the lifeblood of much of rural America, where people rely on the USPS to deliver goods and transmit information. In areas without internet access, US mail is absolutely essential. And there’s another problem with DeJoy’s plan: it reinforces the idea that USPS should be managed like a business. That’s absurd. USPS is a public good. As the legislative and political director for the New York Metro Area Postal Union said of DeJoy’s latest plan, “DeJoy's Great Consolidation is a true danger to the public post office." Instead of slashing postal workers, we should be taking advantage of the huge opportunity USPS offers for our country. USPS should expand its services for rural and low-income communities even further by looking into offering banking services, internet access, and more.45 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

Protect our digital privacy in the cryptocurrency age!In March, President Biden told several federal agencies to start looking into a “U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency,” or CBDC. A digital dollar could create an accessible public option for digital payments that works for all Americans — but only if it’s done right. Digital currencies must come along with explicit privacy protections. Otherwise, the digital dollar will provide the government with unprecedented access to Americans’ private financial transactions. As usual, poor and marginalized communities will be especially vulnerable to such surveillance. That’s why Congress must pass the E-CASH Act: legislation promoting a digital dollar that replicates the privacy features of analog cash! Sign the petition: Tell Congress to pass the ECASH Act! No Digital Currency without sweeping privacy protections!20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

Protect Navajo Voices; Protect Navajo VotesCurrently only 12 percent of the Navajo population votes in the Presidential and Delegate Primaries. In order to build further civic engagement to ensure that the voice of the Navajo People prevails, we have to have a free and fair electoral system. This is especially true with our tribal elections. If we want to inspire our children to make a difference through voting in county, state, and federal elections, we must show that voting at the tribal level has meaning. Without a free and fair election system that the Navajo People can believe in, the Navajo vote will be suppressed all across the board. In order to maximize the strength and power of the Navajo voice and vote, we must build a model electoral system here at home. If we can do this, we can inspire our youth to raise their voice and flex their electoral power at every level. And in so doing, we can transform our Nation from a forgotten patch of jurisdiction to a political powerhouse setting the tone of conversation all the way from D.C. to our State Legislatures and Governor's Mansions.588 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Ethel Branch

Muir Michigan Speed Limit Reduction for Elementary SchoolPeople should join this petition to ensure the children are able to safely cross the road. I would also like to see a crossing guard in place. Parents of the community are concerned, and action taken previously by other community members to reduce the speed limit have not been honored; in fact; MDOT elected to increase the speed limit. Accidents have resulted from this decision. Truck drivers and other drivers have also voiced concerns as they do not feel safe turning into driveways, onto side roads where there are no stop signs/stop lights, and into businesses.147 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Robin Coon

Counselors Not Cops: In Salem Keizer Public SchoolsPolice in schools have served as the main bridge for students of color, poor students, students with disabilities and trans and queer students to enter the criminal justice system. Our goal is to create a path where our public schools become a place where students are nurtured and provided with the resources that help us grow to be healthy adults. We want to end the long history of systematically criminalizing Black, Indigenous and other students of color, specially those living with behavioral and physical disabilities as well as trans and queer students that attend Salem Keizer Public Schools. Even though in 2021, Superintendent Christy Perry decided NOT to renew the School Resource Officers program, which took about 1 million dollars from our education funding, far right groups who do not represent students are attacking this student-led victory. We need the full and permanent reinvestment of SRO funds into non-punitive education programing/staff and we want our school district to make a commitment to end the school to prison and deportation pipeline.626 of 800 SignaturesCreated by LUS Youth

Help stand against Entergy’s price gouging and monopolyThis isn’t only affecting me but people all over dealing with this. People are being taken advantage of and peoples health can be affected. This is not right that companies like this can take over, overcharge, give you a disconnect notice no sooner you get your bill, and you have zero right to choose. I even know someone who has been gone not using their power in a couple of months but yet still over a two hundred dollar bill! They been overcharging me and other people! When they do their off with the power they don’t care if you have a medical issue. This has gotten beyond out of hand.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rebecca Fowler

Investigate GOP Governors like DeSantis for human trafficking & violating federal immigration lawFamilies, including children, were transported across state lines under false pretenses. This was a premeditated effort targeting persons by national origin. It’s shameful that instead of treating asylum seekers with the love, dignity and care they deserve, Republican Governors like Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott are exploiting them and using them as political pawns. Families, including children, are being transported across state lines under false pretenses. Immigrants are being treated inhumanely. These are not isolated incidents. They are deliberate actions relentlessly carried out by anti-immigrant Republicans/politicians. It’s completely unacceptable and it needs to end now. Republicans want to divide us by demonizing immigrants. But no one is illegal on stolen land. And immigrants deserve to be welcomed and treated with dignity, love, and care. Together, we can keep fighting for immigration justice including a pathway to citizenship for undocumented folks.105,561 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Vanessa Brito

End Homelessness & Poverty while Rebuilding the EconomyThis issue is affecting everyone from tourist to communities to families to business owners and overall the economy. This problem has given me the opportunity to understand how to handle the issue effectively and efficiently everyone has voice and nothing will change if no one isn’t listening on how to create solutions that will not mask the problem but remove it. I've heard and seen the frustration and this has allowed me to be able to understand how to make the correct choices for the homeless community and the business owners we are all crying out for something to be done this is a change for good it will allow us to get back what Covid-19 has taken away from our communities and rebuild our economy.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shavona Jackson

Lindsey Graham must be held accountable for his role in the attacks on our democracySenator Graham has repeatedly proven that his loyalty to Trump will always come before the good of our democracy. But now, with Graham potentially implicated in Trump’s illegal plot to overthrow our elections, he is desperately scrambling for a loophole that will get him out of having to testify under oath about the shocking allegation that he asked election officials to throw out Georgians’ votes. But Graham is doing all he can to evade legal accountability – and abusing his power to pressure that DA into throwing the subpoena out. This investigation – which is a parallel effort to the January 6th House Select Committee – needs to see any and all relevant information, including Graham’s phone calls with Raffensperger – so they can uncover the full truth. Condemn Graham’s blatant ploy to keep us in the dark – and demand that he is held accountable.81 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Implement a "No Shame Dress Code" at STHSThe current dress code perpetuates sexism, mental illness and an environment that does not support the learning of all students. The dress code sexualizes and objectifies the female student body and is demeaning to the male student body. Without change, this will continue to negatively impact our current and future student body.236 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Zoe Benka-Davies
