[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 if you agree: Conviction or not, Trump must be disqualified from public office]( Sign if you agree: Conviction or not, Trump must be disqualified from public office Regardless of the latest indictment, Donald Trump cannot run for president. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says no person may serve in elected office if they "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" against the U.S. government. Trump's involvement on January 6th is enough to have him disqualified. - [Sign the petition: Denounce Gov. Ron DeSantis & Florida Republicans]( Sign the petition: Denounce Gov. Ron DeSantis & Florida Republicans TARGET: Ron DeSantis Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wants to be president in 2024 and has done all he can to inherit, capitalize on, and politicize Donald Trump’s platform.

Can you support Daily Kos and donate $3?]( - [Tell Congress: Pass the Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act!]( Tell Congress: Pass the Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act!

A Texas jury voted to convict Daniel Perry, the U.S. Army Sergeant who shot and killed Black Lives Matter protester Garrett Foster in the summer of 2020. Now, Texas Gov.

The Court has pursued a right-wing agenda, regularly ignoring long-standing precedents, such as in its overturning of Roe v. Wade. Following the revelations about the ethics violations of Justice Thomas and Chief Justice Roberts, the Supreme Court must be made to follow basic ethics standards. - [Sign the petition: Elect the president by national popular vote]( Sign the petition: Elect the president by national popular vote TARGET: Michigan, Minnesota & all state governments In a democracy, the person who receives the most votes should win.

TARGET: House Republicans Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and SNAP provide safety and security for the millions of seniors, families, and veterans who rely on these benefits to retire, access health care, and feed their families.

Wade, abortion is now illegal in 13 states—and states like Florida are passing a draconian six-week ban.

Ban assault weapons!]( SIGN THIS: "Thoughts and prayers" are not enough. Ban assault weapons!

Urge the F.D.A. to use its enforcement discretion to allow mifepristone to remain on the market. - [Sign the petition: Demand Jeff Bezos testify in Congress]( Sign the petition: Demand Jeff Bezos testify in Congress TARGET: Senate HELP Committee On March 29, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz was grilled by Bernie Sanders and the rest of the US Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee about Starbucks’ repeated union-busting and intimidation tactics.
