2 year old A.J. needs a kidney transplantA 2-year-old boy named A.J. is fighting for his life. And Emory University Hospital is refusing to perform a life-saving kidney transplant operation because of his father, Anthony Dickerson has a criminal record. Anthony is a 100% match to donate a kidney to his son--but after a probation violation, hospital administrators are denying him the chance. A.J. was supposed to have the surgery this month, but the hospital canceled, saying "we need you to be on good behavior for three to four months before you can give your son the kidney. And January 2018 we will think about re-evaluating you." This is a cruel and heartless decision made by Emory University Hospital. A young boy's life is at risk. There is no time for the hospital to push its own agenda and act as its own judge and jury. The systemic racism that exists in the criminal justice system pours into our communities' abilities to live their lives and make free choices. Everyday returning citizens are making their way out of the vicious confines of the prison industrial complex only to struggle to gain fair access to jobs, housing, education, and healthcare. This also has a lasting impact on families and our entire communities. To put an extreme barrier like denying one's son's right to live is not only devastating but inhumane. We all have a duty to help push Emory University Hospital to save this boy's life and do the right thing now. Sign the petition.23,302 of 25,000 SignaturesCreated by Rashad Robinson

Run Bernie, Run for Office in 2020We the People need to say very little. Bernie Sanders is the only trusted politician to run as the opposition candidate to both Donald Trump and his Corrupt Adminstration in 2020. The health of (both) our Country (and our Planet) is in crisis and there is no one else who can unite the progressives, independents, liberals, and fallen Republicans like Bernie can. We need him to both save the United States of America from total collapse and Planet Earth from total. destruction.72 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeffrey Brian Barkdull

REMOVE SENATOR JEFF KRUSESenator Kruse's offensive behavior is an embarrassment to our district and the county he comes from. He has numerous examples going back decades of misogynistic or unacceptable behavior and comments toward and about women. His remark to me in a town hall, shouting "DO YOU KNOW HOW EASY IT IS FOR A WOMAN TO ACCUSE A MAN AND GET A RESTRAINING ORDER???" does not show that he is ready to work with and among women in 2017, especially with regard to policy that keeps them safe from harm. His remark to me, in his offices that "YOU CAN'T STOP BAD PEOPLE FROM DOING BAD THINGS" shows a lack of understanding or concern for stopping bad behavior. Don't police, counselors, teachers, judges, and parents all stop bad people? Of course they do. But Jeff Kruse does not allow for that, and, living in this irresponsible moral fringe where good is what you can get away with and bad is getting caught is unacceptable to us from any public official Especially a state Senator.151 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Brad Allen

Pledge NO MoreThis petition is to keep young minds as pure as when birthed, without brainwashing them with repetitious recitals of a pledge they know NOTHING about! The Pledge of Allegiance should be LEGALLY REMOVED from ALL "PUBLIC" schools! Though parents can prohibit their child(ren) from participating in reciting the Pledge, and schools DON'T have to partake in a reciting of the Pledge, that's NOT enough! Like the Ten Commandments were removed from courthouses to NOT mix church with state, the Pledge should too be removed from schools, because CHILDREN HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHAT THEY'RE PLEDGING TO, LET ALONE WHAT THEY'RE EVEN SAYING. - Selph Unohwn, Community Activist10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Selph Unohwn

Sign the petition: Stop Trump from firing MuellerOn Monday, October 30, special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia collusion investigation broke new ground — former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business associate Rick Gates were indicted, and Trump adviser George Papadopoulos pled guilty to lying to the FBI. With this new flurry of activity, it’s quite possible that Trump could make good on his threat to fire Mueller any day. It is more important now than ever that Congress pass bipartisan legislation protecting special counsel Mueller from being fired. A number of bills have been introduced to stop the White House from interfering in this critical investigation — and we must pressure Congress to ensure that doesn’t happen. The bills introduced would ensure that special counsels could only be removed by a panel of three federal judges, meaning that Trump would not have the final say if he tried to fire Mueller. Republicans and Democrats must know that you expect them to stand up to Donald Trump and allow the investigation to continue no matter where it leads. We must find out the truth. Please sign and send a petition to your members of Congress demanding that they pass legislation to protect special counsel Robert Mueller from being fired by Donald Trump. This investigation is too important to lose.1,712 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Paul Hogarth

Trick or Treat Day!By creating a "Trick or Treat Day" that falls on the last Saturday of October, more children (and adults!) can enjoy visiting neighbors and not have the worries of staying up or being out too late on a school/work evening. This does not affect the religious celebrations of Halloween that will remain on the 31st. As a parent myself, I understand the frustration of both parents and homeowners when trick or treating falls on a school night. Many love this tradition but when it lands on a day during the week, it becomes a burden for parents and homeowners alike. By creating a "Trick or Treat Day" across Massachusetts as the last Saturday of October, then the inconvenience is alleviated and those who celebrate October 31st as a religious holiday can continue with their annual traditions. We believe that starting Massachusetts "Trick or Treat Day" in October of 2018 gives state residents plenty of time to adapt to the new day of celebration and candy giving!20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alexis Anapolsky
