President Trump need to present excuses to the Haitian PeopleI am an immigrant, a future Law Student with a BS in Economics and Communications and I am Haitian. Trump referred to my homeland as a "shithole and said: we don't want all those Haitians here, Send them out" After saying that we all have aids reported the Washington Post. Trump's recent comments open the door for our children, friends, and families to be bullied by narrow-minded people at our school, at our work-place, church and in the community. We need the President to present excuses just to set the record straight that every word he said is wrong and are a disgrace for humanity. We can keep letting him dividing us and driving a wedge between the community that will take centuries to repairs. As we are commemorating the 8th anniversaries of the massive heartquake that devastated our country, more than 500,000 thousand death on January 12, 2010. We need to mourn our people in peace and the climate created by Trump's comments are decidedly not helping. Will you stand with me and ask Donald Trump to present Excuses to the Haitian People?2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Guerlyne Petit

Congress: Reject Trump's racismI am an immigrant, a former White House aide, and a Haitian-American. Yesterday, in a moment of unbridled racism and during a meeting concerning changes in immigration policy, Trump referred to my homeland, El Salvador, and African nations as "shithole countries." Trump's recent comments just prove what we’ve already known for a long time: that the man who occupies the Oval Office is indeed a racist. Trump has always been a racist. He started his business career as a racist. He started his political career as a racist. Now, in the White House, he is using his racism to drive his policy. Will you stand with me and call on Congress to reject Trump's racism and all the policies that stem from it?123,382 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Karine Jean-Pierre

Congress, will you stand with racists or with immigrants?We shouldn’t be surprised by Trump's comments about Black immigrants from Haiti and African nations. He has never hidden his racist, white supremacist agenda. What is shocking, however, is Congress' refusal to stop his racist attacks on immigrants. We won't stand for this. Congress must repudiate Trump's hate , but not simply by saying they disagree with it. They must stand up for immigrant communities by passing protections for dreamers and TPS families immediately and by repealing the Muslim Ban. On Monday, the Trump administration announced it was eliminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 200,000 of our neighbors and loved ones from El Salvador who have lived in the U.S. for decades. This announcement is the latest in a rampage of attacks on immigrant communities, including canceling TPS for over 60,000 people from Haiti, Sudan, and Nicaragua, and putting 800,000 immigrant youth at risk of being deported and ripped from their homes by ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. And on Thursday, in response to a bipartisan Senate proposal to find a permanent solution for Dreamers and TPS recipients, Trump called Haiti and African countries "shitholes" in a White House meeting. This is beyond unacceptable! Trump's racist remark makes it painfully clear that he has no intention of working with Congress to find a solution for immigrant youth and families and no respect for our nation's immigration traditions or the incredible contributions immigrants have made. The only thing he intends to do is promote a white supremacist agenda that rips families apart and demonizes communities of color.1,331 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Anna Duncan

Virginia Offshore Drilling: NO to killing our natural beautyI oppose ANY potential for the pulchritude we have from our beaches to the Chesapeake Bay to be destroyed. I will vote against anyone who supports the possibility of having to answer "How did this happen" or investigate who is responsible. No offshore drilling, the question never gets asked.

Censure Pres. Trump's Racist Anti-Immigrant RemarksScarcely a day goes by that the president does not make outrageous and offensive remarks that embarrass the country before the world, undermine the serious business of governing, and exacerbate divisions among the people. Congress must step up to reprimand this latest flagrantly racist remark, made in the presence of several of its members, or risk being seen as complicit in a dangerous degradation of our national dialog.178 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Charles E Lewis

Protect Wisconsin's WetlandsAssembly Bill 547 would make it easier for companies to build on Wisconsin's wetlands and to discharge contaminated materials into wetlands. If we allow construction on these wetland environments without going through the proper environmental procedures, we risk the contamination of our waterways, the destruction of important ecosystems, and the reversal of flood protection that many communities depend upon. This legislation must be stopped before irreversible harm is done to Wisconsin's environment.208 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Friends of Jonathan Brostoff

Tell Congress: Stop Trump’s Attack on North KoreaThe Trump administration is reportedly considering a “bloody nose” strike on North Korea, despite expert warnings across the political spectrum about the dangers of escalation. One bomb from Trump could launch full-scale war. Urge Congress to intervene immediately and prevent Trump’s “bloody nose” attack.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Miles
