[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: Investigate Greg Abbott & Ron DeSantis for human rights abuses]( Sign the petition: Investigate Greg Abbott & Ron DeSantis for human rights abuses TARGET: U.S. Department of Justice Right now, human beings are being used as political stunts. Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor Ronald DeSantis have proudly boasted that they have put thousands of migrants on buses and planes to D.C., Chicago, Denver, New York, Martha’s Vineyard, and Sacramento. The cruelty of these elected “leaders” cannot be understated. - [Sign if you agree: No one—not even a former president—is above the law]( Sign if you agree: No one—not even a former president—is above the law Donald Trump has now been indicted by two grand juries of everyday Americans. These indictment mark the first time in U.S. history that a president has been criminally charged. We must make it clear that no one, not even a former president, is above the law. - [Sign the petition: Revoke the NRA’s tax-exempt status!]( Sign the petition: Revoke the NRA’s tax-exempt status! 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. - [Daily Kos has been struggling to make ends meet.

TARGET: Governors The right-wing extremists, Republican operatives and donors behind the well-funded Moms for Liberty organization are driving book bans nationwide. But Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker will sign legislation to end book bans in that state. It is time for more governors to follow his lead. - [Sign the petition: Tax billionaires to truly solve the national debt]( Sign the petition: Tax billionaires to truly solve the national debt TARGET: Congress If politicians are serious about our national debt, we must raise taxes on billionaires. After House Republicans threatened to make us default on our debt obligation, they cut a deal with President Biden that does very little to address the national debt. All because Republicans refused to even consider holding the rich accountable. - [Sign the petition: Outlaw LGBTQ+ discrimination. Pass the Equality Act.]( Sign the petition: Outlaw LGBTQ+ discrimination. Pass the Equality Act. TARGET: Congress We are amidst an unprecedented wave of direct, discriminatory attacks against LGBTQ+ people. This year, more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced across state legislatures. And there are currently no federal laws that explicitly protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination. We can change that by passing the Equality Act. - [Sign the petition to prosecutors: Trump is a flight risk and security risk]( Sign the petition to prosecutors: Trump is a flight risk and security risk TARGET: Justice Department Donald Trump has been indicted on 37 felony charges for violating the Espionage Act. After he pled not guilty on June 13, the judge put him on pretrial release and did not place any travel restrictions. Prosecutors said he is "not a flight risk." That is a big mistake. Most defendants in his situation would be held in custody. - [Sip your favorite beverage from your very own Daily Kos mug.

That’s why we must elect our president by national popular vote. 16 states and the District of Columbia have already joined the National Popular Vote interstate compact (with Minnesota having just joined), and we have bills going through the state legislature in Michigan too. - [Sign the pledge: Our fight for abortion access is stronger than ever–never give up]( Sign the pledge: Our fight for abortion access is stronger than ever–never give up It has been almost one year since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade with the disastrous Dobbs decision. With the rollbacks of protections to our bodily autonomy and the stripping of our constitutional right to access abortions, we are facing the most dangerous attacks on reproductive health in many of our lifetimes. - [Sign the petition: Protect the separation of church and state]( Sign the petition: Protect the separation of church and state The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution enshrines the right to the right to practice any religion, or no religion at all. But recent legislation and court rulings are jeopardizing these fundamental American values. We are witnessing an increasing trend toward promoting Christianity in public institutions, particularly within our public schools. - [Sign the petition: Reparations for Black people in America]( Sign the petition: Reparations for Black people in America TARGET: Congress In the U.S., Black people continue to bear the harms of slavery and its vestiges. We see this in present-day health disparities, the growing Black-white wealth gap, escalating police violence against Black communities, and so much more. Please sign on today to become a grassroots co-sponsor of Rep. Cori Bush’s Reparations Now Resolution. - [Keep abortion safe and accessible. Chip in $3 to help independent abortion clinics across the country.]( - [Sign the petition: Fight back against GOP Tax Scam 2.0]( Sign the petition: Fight back against GOP Tax Scam 2.0 TARGET: Congress Republicans held our nation’s economy hostage over their demands to cut services for working families. Now, they want a tax package that hands billions of dollars in tax breaks to private equity firms, hugely profitable billion-dollar corporations, the richest 1%, and foreign investors. - [Sign the petition: Judge Aileen Cannon must recuse herself from Trump’s case]( Sign the petition: Judge Aileen Cannon must recuse herself from Trump’s case Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, has been assigned to oversee the case involving Donald Trump's mishandling of classified documents. Judge Cannon has already shown her bias when she ruled in Trump's favor in a related case, raising serious questions about her impartiality. - [Tell the GOP: Stop defending Donald Trump]( Tell the GOP: Stop defending Donald Trump TARGET: Republicans Donald Trump has been indicted. The same MAGA Republicans who supported, schemed, and covered up for Trump in order to enrich themselves and attack our freedoms are once again coming to his defense. By choosing to ignore the facts, defame and intimidate public servants, and obstruct prosecution, Republicans continue to endanger our democracy, and undermine the rule of law. - [Sign the petition: Help end child poverty with the American Family Act]( Sign the petition: Help end child poverty with the American Family Act TARGET: Congress Every child deserves a fair start in life, but financial instability stands in the way for many American families. The American Family Act is a transformative piece of legislation that aims to overhaul the existing Child Tax Credit, making it a more effective tool for supporting families and reducing child poverty. - [Happy Pride!
