Sign the petition: Ban members of Congress from buying and selling individual stocks

[Daily Kos Campaigns]( Here are some of the most popular and time-sensitive petitions from Daily Kos, the largest online gathering space for progressives. - [Sign the petition: Ban members of Congress from buying and selling individual stocks]( TARGET: Congress We elect our officials to use their position of power to work for the American people, not their personal wealth. Join the fight today to ban members of Congress and their spouses from trading stocks. - [Sign the petition: Judge Aileen Cannon must recuse herself from Trump’s case]( TARGET: Judge Aileen Cannon Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, has been assigned to oversee the case involving Donald Trump's mishandling (aka stealing) of classified documents. Judge Cannon has already shown her bias over and over, ruling in Trump's favor, causing major trial delays, and raising serious questions about her impartiality. - [Sign the petition: Statehood for D.C. now!]( TARGET: Congress Denying D.C. statehood is a clear case of voter suppression and the perfect example of taxation without representation. Granting statehood to Washington, D.C. would end this injustice. Equality at the ballot box cannot be guaranteed until Congress grants the residents of D.C. the statehood they deserve, making them an equal part of our democratic process. - [Want to support progressive, independent news?

Kennedy Jr: Drop out]( TARGET: RFK Jr. 'Nuff said. - [Sign the petition: Elect the president by national popular vote]( TARGET: All U.S. states that have not yet joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact Maine has recently joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC)--an agreement between states to award their electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the most votes nationally. Eighteen states and the District of Columbia have joined the NPVIC, with a combined 209 electoral votes. The agreement will go into effect once states and territories with a combined total of 270 electoral votes have joined the compact. We are calling on all remaining states to join the compact for a truly fair and representative democracy. - [We're not gonna lie: Holding the Senate in 2024 is going to be hard. Donate now and support key races to keep the Senate blue.]( - [Sign the petition: Justices Alito and Thomas must recuse themselves from cases related to Jan. 6]( TARGET: U.S. Supreme Court We must demand accountability from those who hold the highest offices in our land. Justices Alito and Thomas' actions and conflicts of interest warrant their recusal from any cases involving Donald Trump and January 6. The credibility of our judicial system is at stake. - [Sign the petition: Term limits for the Supreme Court now!]( TARGET: Congress The Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization (TERM) Act of 2023 has been introduced in Congress. The TERM Act would introduce fixed 18-year terms for current and future Supreme Court justices and establish regular nominations of justices in the first and third years of each presidential term–a necessary, fair, and accountable reform to the judicial system. - [Sign the petition to Congress: Do everything you can to fight voter suppression]( TARGET: Congress Equal opportunity to vote and participate in our democracy is a fundamental right. Congress has a duty to uphold this freedom by passing legislation that will reinforce and expand the Voting Rights Act. - [Show your support for independent news with a Daily Kos t-shirt—union decorated and made in the USA!

However, to truly improve our safety, this initiative must be coupled with an unequivocal ban on assault weapons–something which requires congressional action. - [Sign the petition: Dissolve the National Rifle Association]( TARGET: NY Attorney General The NRA is corrupt. Under Wayne LaPierre's leadership, the NRA misused millions of dollars of charitable funds, leading to LaPierre’s resignation and a court ordering him to pay back nearly $4.4 million. This is the tip of a pattern of corruption that has plagued the NRA for years. - [Sign the petition: Support real solutions to homelessness. Oppose arrests and fines]( TARGET: Congress In the face of growing homelessness across the United States, we must advocate for policies that respect human dignity rather than punitive measures that further marginalize those with the greatest needs. Arrests and fines serve only to exacerbate the suffering of those without housing or shelter and undermine efforts to address the root causes of homelessness. Recent legislative efforts to address the issue include the Ending Homelessness Act, a bill that would ensure universal rental assistance for all households in need, and tackle discrimination against renters. Another is the Housing Crisis Response Act, which, if enacted, would be a historic investment in affordable housing. - [Send a letter to President Biden: Over-the-counter birth control must be covered by insurance–no prescription required]( TARGET: Biden Administration At last, Opill–a daily, progestin-only birth control pill–is starting to appear on the shelves of drugstores and online retailers nationwide. But we have a hurdle to clear: the Biden Administration must immediately take action to ensure Opill (and any future over-the-counter birth control!) is fully covered. - [Signatures needed: I pledge to Get Out the Vote for Democrats in 2024]( TARGET: Everyone you know! With so much at stake this election, and so few votes determining the outcome, we need willing Democrats and progressives to spend a few hours of their time between now and November writing postcards and sending letters to prospective voters in swing states who lean Democratic but who don’t always turn out to vote. We need you to drop prospective voters a quick note, urging them to cast a ballot this November given everything that is at stake. - [Sign and send the petition: Big Banks must reject Trump’s Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation now]( TARGET: Big Banks By aligning themselves with Trump’s Project 2025, the powerful Wall Street banks are complicit in endorsing an agenda that stands in stark contrast to the principles of human rights and ethical business practices. Demand Big Banks reject Project 2025 [Log in]( or [sign up]( to post articles and comments on Daily Kos, the nation's largest progressive community.
