Vanguard and Blackrock: Divest from AR makers!I want to take my head out of the sand and understand the good and the bad that my money can do. We live in a country where money is sometimes put ahead of lives and I am not OK with my money being used to enable mass murder. I own Vanguard index funds that are invested in these 3 companies. So it's personal.99 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Santiago

Make the C Team OfficalWe were created because not everyone gets to have a chance at compete for their school in a sport and we were going to change that. As of the time being we are currently unoffical and recruit people by asking if they would like to join. Seems like a very bad way to run a team right..... EXACTLY. By siging this petetion you are helping this get to the people who run this school and maybe considering helping us out by giving us a place to play and maybe teams to play .17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kenny

Truckee Donner PUD: Reject the Nuclear Small Modular Reactor ProjectOn April 4th the TDPUD board will vote on whether to enter into an agreement to obtain power from the Small Modular Reactor (nuclear) project known as the Carbon Free Power Project (CFPP). The end result of this project will be that TDPUD will be a part owner and contracted customer of a nuclear power plant that will be constructed outside of Idaho Falls in 2023. There is no effective method of storing spent nuclear waste. The waste generation and non-renewable nature of this project is in direct contrast with the Town of Truckee 100% Renewable Resolution, which calls for 100% renewable electricity, town-wide, by 2030.239 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Suzie Tarnay

Tell The DEA To Approve The Use Of Mobile Methadone Units So At-Risk Communities Can Fight The Op...The opioid epidemic is killing more than a hundred Americans every day. More than 2 million Americans are addicted to opioid painkillers or heroin, but only 1 in 5 is receiving treatment for their disorder, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Mobile methadone treatment vans have been serving people with opioid addiction in rural towns and underserved inner-city neighborhoods for nearly three decades. Equipped with a bathroom and private counseling rooms, the vans offer low-income residents drug screenings, addiction assessments, and counseling. For many, methadone is an effective addiction medicine that successfully reduces drug cravings and wards off relapse. It is, unfortunately, out of reach of the many who live far from America's approximately 1,500 dispensing locations. Communities need more of these mobile units and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, which regulates dispensing of the FDA-approved addiction medicine, has refused to license any new methadone vans since 2007. That’s why state and local addiction agencies and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) have requested DEA to rescind the ban. However, the DEA has failed to act. Together, we can ensure that the Drug Enforcement Administration approves the use of mobile methadone units.3,695 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Matt Hildreth, RuralOrganizing.org

REPARATIONS FOR BLACKS IN AMERICAThe People's New Black Panther Party are tired of the abuse to our brothers and sisters by the hands of the government, police officers, and white America. We have been systematically held down for years, robbed, beaten, and murdered. Our ancestors suffrered horrendous acts by the hands of America and still have not received what is due to them. Blacks can never advance because America's foot is on our necks. We are seeking reparations for ourselves and on behalf of our ancestors.144 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Stacia Cook

Shut down John Bolton and Trump's war agendaWe all know that John Bolton is a terrible dangerous choice for national security adviser. But the Senate doesn't get to confirm that role. It does, however, confirm secretary of state for which Trump has nominated someone even more dangerous: Mike Pompeo. Pompeo is a climate change denier. He's anti gay rights. He wants to rip up our diplomatic deals. He's defended the use of torture. If fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was the fire extinguisher that kept the Trump flame from engulfing us all, then Pompeo is the fuel that would make the Trump bonfire go out of control. He cannot represent us to the world. We can't stop Trump from appointing John Bolton—a man who pushed for the devastating Iraq War and who recently wrote the case for war with North Korea—as national security adviser. So our only chance to prevent Trump from assembling a war cabinet that would push us to war with Iran and North Korea and risk of ruining relationships around the world is to block Pompeo. Senator Rand Paul has said he won't support Pompeo—now if every Democratic and Independent senator does the same, we can say no to this bigot and no to Trump's reckless march to war.3,187 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Dean Obeidallah

Senators: Block Trump's War CabinetDonald Trump is marching us toward war—or multiple wars—if his latest nominees and appointees are and indication. Mike Pompeo, Trump's pick to run the State Department, opposes diplomatic agreements, supports torture, and has publicly spoken about the war "between the Christian West and the Muslim East" and received the top award from a known anti-muslim hate group. We cannot trust him to run the U.S. State Department. Gina Haspel has defended the CIA use of torture. We cannot trust her to run the CIA. John Bolton has a history of bad decisions that have contributed to massive loss of life. He was a booster for the Iraq War. More recently, he penned an op-ed on the case for war with North Korea. He just can't be trusted at all. Trump pushed out his secretary of state and national security adviser who had helped restrain Trump's desire for war. His new appointees would be far worse—putting us all at risk. As a first step to blocking a reckless war cabinet, and preventing unnecessary and costly wars: The Senate and must reject Pompeo's nomination as Secretary of State.806 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Dean Obeidallah

Save the Iran Nuclear Deal, Vote No on PompeoSenators need to vote NO on Mike Pompeo's nomination to send a clear message: We support diplomacy, not senseless and endless wars. The landmark Iran Nuclear Deal has been in place since 2015. Under the agreement, Iran can not get nuclear weapons, and in return the US and European allies agreed to lift economic sanctions. The International Atomic Energy Agency has reported 9 times that Iran remains in compliance with the deal, and our top generals continue to report to Congress that the deal is working. Yet Trump fired the current Secretary of State Rex Tillerson over Tillerson's support of the nuclear deal. This is in defiance with our best interests and our security. Senators must block this escalation to war from Trump by voting NO on Mike Pompeo's nomination.63 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dean Obeidallah

Say YES to recess in AZ k-5 SchoolsWe are seeking community support for SB1083. If signed into law, this would require all K-5 schools in AZ to allow children two 15 minute recess periods per day. Many schools provided this at some point, but have since removed most or all recess from their daily schedules. Recess and unstructured play improve cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development; these are the foundations for "whole healthy children." Recess has been proven to significantly decrease anxiety, depression, attention deficit disorders, childhood obesity, diabetes and heart disease in youth. Sign our petition and tell your senators, representatives, and Governor Ducey, the time to take action is now! Restore recess for Arizona's kids!129 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lauren Heichel
