Sign the petition: Members of Congress cannot engage in insider trading

[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: Members of Congress cannot engage in insider trading]( Sign the petition: Members of Congress cannot engage in insider trading TARGET: Congress In 2020, 75 lawmakers held stocks in vaccine producers Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, or Pfizer. Most of those trades happened in the early weeks of the pandemic. The Ending Trading and Holdings in Congressional Stocks (ETHICS) Act would prohibit members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent minors from owning or trading stocks, commodities, or futures. - [Sign the petition: Marjorie Taylor Greene must be removed from U.S. House committees]( Sign the petition: Marjorie Taylor Greene must be removed from U.S. House committees TARGET: Congress Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has called for a “national divorce” between red and blue states—in other words, she endorsed the dissolution of the United States. Meanwhile, as a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, she is privy to sensitive information and makes decisions about our national security. - [Sign if you agree: Everyone deserves a living wage. End the subminimum wage.]( Sign if you agree: Everyone deserves a living wage. End the subminimum wage. In 2023, it is legal for employers to pay their employees less than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 in 43 states – sometimes as little as $2.13. But workers’ movements in states across the country are organizing to draw attention to this brazen economic injustice, and we’re asking you to join them. Sign your name here to demand an end to the federal subminimum wage! - [Daily Kos has been struggling to make ends meet for the past four months.

The NRA has long been suspected of engaging in potentially illegal activities. A Senate investigation disclosed the NRA's collaboration with Russians to influence American elections. The NRA was also accused of misusing its tax-exempt status by funneling millions of dollars to top executives and vendors. Time to take action. - [Sign the petition: The Supreme Court is broken. Pass reform.]( Sign the petition: The Supreme Court is broken. Pass reform. TARGET: Congress Public trust in the Supreme Court is already at an all time low. Following the revelations about the ethics violations of Justice Thomas and Chief Justice Roberts, now is the time to pass the Supreme Court Ethics Act. - [Sign the petition: Denounce fascism in state legislatures]( Sign the petition: Denounce fascism in state legislatures Republican state legislatures across the country are increasingly bent on shutting out dissenting voices who dare speak out against their right-wing agenda: in Tennessee, Montana, Texas and elsewhere. It was already bad enough that Republicans were using their agenda to attack marginalized communities. These anti-democratic moves to silence dissenting voices amount to fascism. - [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. That’s why we must elect our president by national popular vote. 15 states and the District of Columbia have already joined the National Popular Vote interstate compact, and now we have bills going through the state legislatures in Michigan & Minnesota. - [Daily Kos t-shirts are going fast. Get one now and show your support for progressive, independent media!]( - [Sign the petition: House Republicans are playing with fire on the debt limit]( Sign the petition: House Republicans are playing with fire on the debt limit TARGET: House Republicans House Republicans just passed a debt limit bill to impose $4.5 trillion in cuts that would make children poorer, veterans sicker, families hungrier and housing more expensive. Republicans are doing this only because Joe Biden is president. Congress voted to extend the debt limit three times during the Trump Era with no conditions or negotiations. - [Sign the petition: Impeach Justice Clarence Thomas]( Sign the petition: Impeach Justice Clarence Thomas TARGET: Congress Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has concealed decades of lavish trips paid for by a major GOP donor. This is likely illegal, and is yet another example of Thomas’ compromised behavior. He must be impeached immediately in order to maintain any impartiality in the highest court of the land. - [Sign the petition: No cuts to Social Security or raises on retirement age!]( Sign the petition: No cuts to Social Security or raises on retirement age! TARGET: U.S. Congress Social Security is a crucial lifeline for millions of Americans who rely on it for their financial well-being in retirement. We demand that our elected officials stand up for the well-being of all Americans and reject any proposals that would cut Social Security benefits or raise the retirement age. - [Sign the petition: Stop Union-busting at Trader Joe's]( Sign the petition: Stop Union-busting at Trader Joe's TARGET: Trader Joe's Trader Joe’s, which cultivates a progressive brand, has rolled out intense union-busting campaigns at every store that's filed for a union election, and refuses to bargain in good faith with its workers. Instead of supporting workers' right to organize, Trader Joe’s has doubled down on union-busting -- using the same tactics as companies like Amazon and Starbucks. - [Independent abortion clinics need our support more than ever after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Chip in $3 to help build foundations for abortion access across the country.]( - [Tell President Biden: Take the steps to FINALLY fire Louis DeJoy]( Tell President Biden: Take the steps to FINALLY fire Louis DeJoy TARGET: President Biden Almost three years after his appointment, the United States Postal Service continues to languish under Trump-holdover Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s failed leadership. His dangerous 10-year privatization plan for the USPS remains a real threat to workers, consumers, and our entire postal system. Sign and send the petition to President Biden: Nominate two new members to the USPS Board of Governors needed to fire Louis DeJoy and expand postal services. - [Sign the petition: The healthcare sector must divest from fossil fuels]( Sign the petition: The healthcare sector must divest from fossil fuels TARGET: Health care industry Fossil fuel companies are both the chief drivers of our climate problem and one of the chief obstacles to solutions. Our hospitals have made clear they understand the stakes. They also have hundreds of billions of dollars invested in the world’s equity markets through their pension funds, endowments, and other vehicles–and that includes investments in fossil fuels. - [Sign the petition: Congress MUST repeal the Comstock Act]( Sign the petition: Congress MUST repeal the Comstock Act TARGET: Congress As a case that could remove FDA approval of mifepristone winds its way through the courts, abortion remains in more danger than ever. The Comstock Act, a 150-year-old law designed to control our bodies, has dangerously been left on the books and will be used by right-wing judges to ban mifepristone. Time to repeal it. - [Sign the petition: Stop the debt limit madness. Pass a discharge petition.]( Sign the petition: Stop the debt limit madness. Pass a discharge petition. TARGET: Congress The federal government will run out of money on June 1st, and House Republicans are pushing unthinkable cuts as extortion to extend the debt limit. We don't have to accept this. Kevin McCarthy may be owned by MAGA extremists, but we can pass a clean funding bill in the House via discharge petition. - [Republican voter suppression is an attack on democracy. Donate to these 10 grassroots groups working to protect and expand voting rights in battleground states.]( - [Sign and send to Congress: Enough is enough. Pass gun safety laws now.]( Sign and send to Congress: Enough is enough. Pass gun safety laws now. TARGET: U.S. Congress As of April 18, at least 5,358 Americans have died from gun violence in 2023, and another 7,128 have died by suicide. By the time you read this, the country's gun-related death toll will be higher. But there is hope, as we are starting to see more openness to passing gun safety measures. Now is the time to redouble our efforts. - [Sign the petition: Senate must cancel August recess to confirm judges]( Sign the petition: Senate must cancel August recess to confirm judges TARGET: Senate Democrats The U.S. Senate is not confirming Biden-appointed judges fast enough. When Senate Republicans wanted to ram through court appointments during the Trump era (which drastically changed our courts), they canceled the August recess. It is time for Democrats to return the favor. - [Sign and send the petition: Pass a clean funding bill to extend the debt limit. Period.]( Sign and send the petition: Pass a clean funding bill to extend the debt limit. Period. TARGET: U.S. Senate The U.S. is dangerously close to defaulting on our debt, and House Republicans exploited this crisis by passing legislation that would make extreme, steep spending cuts. It’s a callous deal and it cannot be entertained. The U.S. Senate cannot pass this deal and must, instead, raise the debt ceiling without conditions.
