• Delete @realDonaldTrump
    Trump just provoked nuclear war against North Korea on Twitter—again—which would kill millions of people. And that's not his only potential violation of the social media platform's terms of service.  A significant number of Trump's tweets have also included language of hate, racial discrimination, fear mongering, and outright lies. Tell Twitter to Delete @realDonaldTrump for misuse.

  • @FBI: Investigate Middle East Institute's Funding From the United Arab Emirates
    A key driver of Saudi Arabia's famine-inducing war in Yemen has been the government of the United Arab Emirates. A key advocate on Capitol Hill for the Saudi-UAE war in Yemen has been Gerald Feierstein of the Middle East Institute, which receives money from Saudi Arabia and the UAE as well as major U.S. arms manufacturers. In March, Feierstein advocated to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on behalf of the Saudi arms deal. [1] Feierstein also advocated in favor of a Saudi-UAE plan to attack the Yemeni port of Hodeida, which the UN, aid groups, and former U.S. officials warned would almost certainly push Yemen into famine. [2] The Intercept has now reported based on a leaked document that the Middle East Institute was to receive $20 million from the UAE over 2016-2017, which the UAE hoped to conceal, with the first payment coming in 2016. According to the agreement, the contribution would allow the MEI to "inform U.S. government policy makers." [3] On June 13, 2017, Feierstein testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee about the U.S.-Saudi relationship. [4] In his required disclosure form, Feierstein claimed that his organization had not received any payment or contract from any foreign government related to the matter of the hearing since 2013. [5] According to the Intercept story, that statement was false. Making false statements to Congress is a violation of federal law. [6] Ask your representatives in Congress to press the FBI to investigate the Middle East Institute's funding from the United Arab Emirates, whether MEI is violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and whether Gerald Feierstein lied to Congress about MEI's funding from the UAE by signing our petition.

  • We demand an end to the war on drugs and end to for-profit prisons!
    We all have seen video after video, and heard story after story that have horrified us. Whether the numbers are increasing is irrelevant. The numbers, as they are, are far too high. This is unacceptable and cannot stand! For-profit prisons are exploitation at its worst. It is unbelievable that our government has allowed this to go on, and for so long.

  • Fire Sebastian Gorka
    Sebastian Gorka is an avowed racist. Each time he is on tv he insults and demeans whomever he is preaching to. We do NOT need this type of person in the Whitehouse. Our president needs calm, cool, stress free people to help him. He needs to be removed from The Whitehouse.

  • Take NRA Ads Off YouTube
    Many enjoy watching funny, harmless videos on YouTube. To have to endure even 4 seconds of the harsh and violent content of several recent NRA videos is disturbing. Even worse, children could be exposed to these "ads" over and over and over. It is unacceptable and irresponsible to disguise a call for violence and division as an "ad" and for YouTube to expose unsuspecting audiences to this violent propaganda.

  • Prevent nuclear war in Korea
    We already saw millions of people lose their lives in the Great War, on the Eastern Front in World War II, in the Nazi Shoah, and in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Let us not repeat history, especially for our most vulnerable allies in Korea and Japan.

  • Kick Trump off Twitter
    After news broke that North Korea has expanded its nuclear capabilities, Donald Trump didn’t discreetly and seriously handle this impending threat with the Department of Homeland Security. Instead, he took to Twitter where he's threatening North Korea with military action and posting pictures of bomber planes. That’s right. Donald Trump publicly escalated an already dangerous conflict with a foreign adversary over a social media platform. How long will Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey let Donald Trump get away with abusive and dangerous behavior that the average user would be banned for?

  • Deny merger of Sinclair & Tribune
    A free and open press is a constitutional guarantee that will be taken away from millions of people if this merger is allowed. I live in an area where 4 stations will be controlled by Sinclair, who is already requiring stations to be less independent and more controlled by running "required segments" with a particular political view.

  • Save Our Radio Station
    On February 28, 2017, without due notice or due process, RadioAvenueRadio.World, previously broadcasting as KVRU Rainier Valley Radio, was forced out of their studio by South East Effective Development (S.E.E.D) where they had been broadcasting globally on KVRU.org. Attempts to resolve this breach of trust amicably and professionally have been rebuffed, ignored and denied. Additionally, S.E.E.D has not shared with the public that their FM license for 105.7 is in jeopardy.

  • Keep West Berkeley Affordable
    The final public hearing on Revisions to Development Standards in the R1-A Districts will be at the planning commission Nov. 15th and soon headed to the Berkeley City Council. Planning staff and developers want to continue building two large luxury condos on one parcel that can include 2-story houses in the rear yard and 3-story houses in front yards, making housing less affordable for working families. Keep housing affordable: limit height on rear units to one story, limit height of front yard houses to two stories, increase required open space, and encourage backyard cottages and duplex buildings

  • Petition to ban the use of pesticides and fertilizers on taxpayer-owned property of Jaffrey, NH
    To stop the use of toxic chemicals in the Town of Jaffrey, NH on town owned property where children and pets play, often right after pesticides are applied. Also to educate the public about the harmful side effects of such chemicals where as those side effects are either largely unknown or down played now and the warnings posted after application, though in line with current state regulations, are minimal and understated to effectively keep kids and pets off of treated lawns.
