Meanwhile, states that allow permitless carry continually see increases violence and death. - [Sign the petition: Revoke the NRA’s tax-exempt status!]( Sign the petition: Revoke the NRA’s tax-exempt status!

Time to take action. - [Sign the petition: Support affirmative action!]( Sign the petition: Support affirmative action! In a controversial decision that overturns long-standing precedent, the Supreme Court has ruled that colleges and universities can no longer consider race as a specific basis for granting admission.

But elite universities can and will continue to offer preferential treatment in their admissions to the children of alumni and donors. That changes now. - [Sign if you agree: Everyone deserves the right to work without jeopardizing their benefits]( Sign if you agree: Everyone deserves the right to work without jeopardizing their benefits TARGET: Congress Every individual deserves the right to work without the looming threat of losing their benefits.

This effort to control and dictate personal healthcare decisions undermines the autonomy and dignity of individuals who can become pregnant. Abortion is a matter of human rights. - [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: 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. - [Putin's war in Ukraine is still causing chaos for millions. Donate to humanitarian efforts assisting refugees and others suffering from the crisis.]( - [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.

TARGET: President Biden The U.S. Supreme Court ripped away critical student debt relief from 40 million borrowers when they blocked President Biden’s plan to use emergency powers to cancel up to $20,000 for student loan borrowers. But this is not the end: the fight for student debt relief continues. We will not give up. - [Sign the petition: Hold corporations accountable for price gouging]( Sign the petition: Hold corporations accountable for price gouging TARGET: Congress Americans continue to struggle under the weight of persistently high inflation and a string of 10 consecutive rate hikes from the Federal Reserve in an attempt to curb it. And while inflation is slowing, the Fed’s strategy of repeated interest rate hikes has been unable to contain a key driver of excessive consumer prices — corporate greed. - [Sign the petition: Stand against corporate donations to anti-LGBTQ+ politicians]( Sign the petition: Protect consumers. Regulate digital payday lenders. Big business cannot wave the rainbow flag during Pride month, and then fund politicians who actively work against the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. It's time for these corporations to put their money where their mouth is and truly support the LGBTQ+ community. - [Sign on: Support the Abortion Justice Act]( Sign on: Support the Abortion Justice Act TARGET: Congress Abortion care is health care and a fundamental human right.

The Abortion Justice Act will build the infrastructure necessary to systematically expand access to abortion care and ensure every person is able to exercise their fundamental reproductive rights. - [Sign the petition: Protect and expand child nutrition]( Sign the petition: Protect and expand child nutrition TARGET: Congress Food prices are up, so more families need WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children). But House Republicans just voted to cut WIC funding by $800 million—cuts that are so steep, 1-4 year olds would see their monthly allotment for fruits and vegetables cut from $25 to just $11, and for those who are nursing, it drops from $49 to $15. - [Help build worker power: Donate $5 to grassroots groups organizing for better wages and safer workplaces.]( [Log in]( or [sign up]( to post articles and comments on Daily Kos, the nation's largest progressive community.
