Save Our Tree!Our nature has predated us by many centuries, offering shelter, food, water, and wisdom. I fell in love with New Smyrna Beach in 2011, especially the awe-inspiring nature and the beautiful preservation of historic landmarks and live oak trees. My entire being refuses to believe that anyone in this world could be so calloused as to honestly find a justification for completely and utterly obliterating a tree that has seen 9 generations and hundreds of hurricanes. We will not stand for this!366 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Ashley Lilje

Clean It Up, Plano!I am a resident of Plano, and an aware of the contamination at 2300 West Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas. Dell, Inc. Is requesting an MSD ordinance, which would simply prevent the water from being used. According to the TCEQ, if an MSD is granted, the likelihood that the contamination will ever be cleaned up is significantly reduced or completely eliminated. Several of the contaminants are carcinogenic, and all of them can cause major health issues. We are asking that the Plano City Council vote "NO" to the application, and tell Dell, Inc. to clean up the contamination!246 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Beth Perry

Prevent Trump's Immediate Access To Nuclear CodesJames Clapper, director of national intelligence (DNI) for seven years under Barack Obama, questioned the US president’s "fitness to be in this office" after his demagogic performance in Phoenix, and expressed anxiety about Trump’s power to launch nuclear weapons without consulting Congress or any other official. This unstable, mentally unbalanced President, Trump, must not be in a position to destroy our planet.583 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Keith Shirey

Sign the petition: Reject and denounce any pardon of Sheriff ArpaioTrump led a horrifying, racist rally in Arizona—where he defended convicted criminal (and former Sheriff) Joe Arpaio for “doing his job.” Arpaio was convicted for violating a federal judge’s order to stop racially profiling Latinx communities and terrorizing undocumented immigrants. This is not "doing his job." The White House has allegedly prepared talking points on Trump’s soon-to-come presidential pardon of Arpaio. Trump’s plan to pardon Arpaio is a blatant demonstration of white supremacy and will only further harm families by endorsing policies that terrorize Latinx communities. Further, by pardoning Arpaio, Trump also says it’s okay to violate court orders. Only 21% of Arizonans support pardoning Arpaio. If the state’s Republican governor and two senators don’t publicly denounce Trump’s bigotry and reject this pardon, they are siding with the racists in their state. Sign our petition now to urge Arizona Governor Ducey and Senators McCain and Flake to publicly oppose Trump’s plan to pardon Joe Arpaio.73 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Hogarth

Sign the petition: No wall on the U.S.-Mexico borderDonald Trump ran for President by whipping up racist hysteria against immigrants—pledging to build a wall and somehow make Mexico pay for it. (Spoiler alert: Mexico won't pay for it.) He is still trying to waste billions of federal dollars to build a 2,000-mile wall, and is even threatening a government shutdown if the Republican Congress does not agree to fund it. Sign the petition: No wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. It's racist, ineffective and a colossal waste of money.2,293 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Paul Hogarth

GoDaddy: Don't Provide a Platform for HateThere is no room for hate in our country.

@NYTimes: Correct the Record: the U.S. Is Directly Involved in Saudis' Yemen WarOn August 23, the New York Times published a major article on the humanitarian catastrophe produced by the U.S.-backed Saudi-UAE war and blockade in Yemen, acknowledging that Yemen is "the world's largest humanitarian crisis" and that "there is little chance for significant improvements unless the war ends." But the August 23 NYT article falsely minimized the U.S. role in the catastrophe: "the United States is not directly involved in the conflict." [1] Past reporting by the New York Times has been more straightforward in acknowledging the direct U.S. military role in Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen. On August 24, 2016, the New York Times reported - under the headline "Support for Saudi Arabia Gives U.S. Direct Role in Yemen Conflict" - that the Saudi bombing of a Doctors Without Borders hospital was another public reminder for the Obama Administration of "the spiraling violence of a war in which it has played a direct role...the Pentagon has given steady support to the coalition led by Saudi Arabia, with targeting intelligence and fuel for the Saudi planes involved in the air campaign." [2] The U.S. role in Saudi Arabia's Yemen war certainly hasn't become less "direct" since August 24, 2016. The Intercept reported on July 13, 2017 that the U.S. has doubled the fuel provided to Saudi-UAE warplanes bombing Yemen since October. [3] The New York Times reported on June 14, 2017 that as a condition of the recent arms deal with Saudi Arabia that was narrowly approved by the Senate, U.S. military advisers coordinating U.S. logistical assistance to the Saudi bombing campaign would sit in the Saudi air operations control center in Riyadh. [4] Such "conditions" are apparently not working to prevent civilian casualties, as the New York Times reported on August 23, 2017 that at least 30 civilians were killed or wounded by Saudi airstrikes in Yemen's capital. [5] Urge the New York Times to correct its August 23, 2017 article to acknowledge that the U.S. is directly involved in the Saudis' war in Yemen through targeting assistance and midair refueling for Saudi-UAE warplanes bombing Yemen by signing our petition.
