End solitary confinement]( Sign the petition: Make a stand for human rights. End solitary confinement TARGET: Congress Rehabilitation, not punishment, should be the cornerstone of our penal system.

Hold them accountable!]( Sign the petition: The fossil fuel industry broke the law with their lies. Hold them accountable! TARGET: U.S. Department of Justice For over 50 years the fossil fuel industry has used illegal methods to lie and distort public perception of a global crisis. It’s time to hold these corporations accountable for violations of federal racketeering laws, truth in advertising laws, consumer protection laws, and potentially other laws. - [Daily Kos doesn't have a paywall.

Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans are out of control. - [Tell the GOP: Stop defending Donald Trump]( Tell the GOP: Stop defending Donald Trump Donald Trump has now been indicted three times. MAGA Republicans are complicit with Trump's crimes if they keep defending him. - [Sign the petition: Ban assault weapons]( Sign the petition: Ban assault weapons TARGET: Congress The United States has surpassed 400 mass shootings in 2023, on pace for a record-breaking year in gun violence with an average of nearly two mass shootings a day.

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: Remove the shield of protection from police]( Sign the petition: Remove the shield of protection from police TARGET: Congress As law enforcement continues to claim the lives of unarmed individuals across the country, officers are increasingly shielded from accountability due to qualified immunity—a legal doctrine that strictly limits the right to sue police officers and other public officials for constitutional violations such as excessive force. The Supreme Court has upheld this loophole, denying victims of police brutality recourse. - [100% of donations to the DACA Renewal Fund go towards protecting immigrant youth from deportation. Please donate what you can today.]( - [Sign the petition: Televise the Trump trial]( Sign the petition: Televise the Trump trial TARGET: The Judicial Conference Public trust in our judiciary is at an all-time low. Deep state conspiracy theories flood social media to distract from Trump’s true crimes. To ensure public trust and faith in the judicial system, and this trial specifically, the public must be allowed to view and listen to Trump’s upcoming trial. - [Sign the petition: No to shutdowns, no to Biden impeachment, no to Republicans]( Sign the petition: No to shutdowns, no to Biden impeachment, no to Republicans TARGET: Congress Marjorie Taylor Greene and her fellow extremists do not speak for a majority of Republicans, let alone the country. And yet, McCarthy will keep carrying water for their nihilistic agenda unless we fight back and say: No government shutdowns. No Biden impeachment. - [Sign the petition: Denounce Ron DeSantis' war on education in Florida.]( Sign the petition: Denounce Ron DeSantis' war on education in Florida. TARGET: Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans Ron DeSantis and his cronies can peddle lies and block progress, but they can't rewrite history. Nor can they stop the existence of sexual orientation and gender identity. Florida's students deserve truth, not propaganda. We will not back down. - [Heat waves, wildfires, flooding and more: Split a $5 donation between organizations demanding climate action now.]( - [Sign the petition: Oppose the horrific treatment of asylum-seekers]( Sign the petition: Oppose the horrific treatment of asylum-seekers Texas state troopers have been caught in horrific acts against asylum-seekers, as they literally pushed small children and nursing babies back into the Rio Grande. The inhumanity at our borders must end. - [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.

TARGET: Congress Public safety is a matter of public health. However, for many communities, “public safety” translates to criminalization, surveillance, and brutality. The People's Response Act is a holistic, inclusive, and health-centered approach that would help ensure the safety of young folks, disabled people, communities of color, and low-income areas. - [Sign the petition: Support the IRS’s free direct file system]( Sign the petition: Support the IRS’s free direct file system TARGET: Governors For the first time ever, the federal government will offer a free, online tax filing system to millions of taxpayers, starting in 2024.

And the deadline for states to do so is September 4th. - [Tell Congress: Raise the minimum wage to $17 an hour!]( Tell Congress: Raise the minimum wage to $17 an hour! TARGET: Congress According to the Economic Policy Institute, the minimum wage has lost 27 percent of its purchasing power due to cost-of-living increases.
