No GOP hostage taking.]( Sign and send the petition: Pass a clean funding bill. No GOP hostage taking. TARGET: Congress If Congress does not pass a spending bill before September 30, we will have a federal government shutdown. That would stop many essential government services that people rely on, and even jeopardize emergency funding for Ukraine and federal disaster funds. All because MAGA extremists like Marjorie Taylor Greene are having another political tantrum. - [If you can afford to make a monthly donation, please take a minute right now to give $3 to keep Daily Kos online and accessible for everyone.]( - [Sign the petition telling Republicans: We will NOT raise the retirement age!]( Sign the petition telling Republicans: We will NOT raise the retirement age! TARGET: Republicans Life expectancy in the United States is decreasing. So why are Republican politicians trying to increase the retirement age for young people? - [Sign the petition: Stop further criminalization attempts on abortion now]( Sign the petition: Stop further criminalization attempts on abortion now It has been over one year since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Beyond banning abortion, some GOP states are now attempting to criminalize traveling out of state for reproductive care. This has to stop now. - [Sign the petition: Denounce MAGA GOP's baseless impeachment inquiry against President Biden]( Sign the petition: Denounce MAGA GOP's baseless impeachment inquiry against President Biden TARGET: Congress In an audacious and deeply troubling move, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has called for a formal impeachment inquiry targeting President Joe Biden. This announcement comes despite the glaring absence of concrete evidence linking the President to any criminal wrongdoing. - [Sign the petition: Disqualify Trump from running for president]( Sign the petition: Disqualify Trump from running for president TARGET: Congress Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is very clear. Any person who has taken an oath to support the Constitution, but has subsequently engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, is disqualified from holding office. Donald Trump's actions on January 6 make him ineligible to run for president, and he must be disqualified. - [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 practice any religion, or no religion at all.

During that time, he concealed decades of lavish trips paid for by several major GOP donors, including Harlan Crow. - [Sign the petition: Hold Trump accountable without delay!]( Sign the petition: Hold Trump accountable without delay! Delay tactics have been a central and successful part of the Trump legal playbook, shielding him from previous prosecutions. These tactics are designed to force cases to drag on for months—long enough for witnesses to disappear and for Trump to run for office unencumbered. - [Sign the petition: Protect Lāhainā residents from predatory developers & scammers!]( Sign the petition: Protect Lāhainā residents from predatory developers & scammers! TARGET: Congress In the aftermath of Maui's tragic wildfires, predatory land developers are cold calling survivors and lurking around emergency shelters to speak with residents of Lāhainā. Not to offer help or give comfort in the wake of a tragedy — but to capitalize on the vulnerable homeowners who have just lost everything. - [Sign the petition: Stop Republican Gerrymandering]( Sign the petition: Stop Republican Gerrymandering TARGET: Congress Partisan gerrymandering is as un-democratic as it gets–drawing a voting map that helps a political party illegally–and Republicans have been shamelessly pursuing it in recent years. Unable to trust the voters to pick who they want to represent them, GOP politicians will pick their voters. - [100% of donations to the DACA Renewal Fund go towards protecting immigrant youth from deportation.

Do not impeach Justice Janet. TARGET: Wisconsin legislature Wisconsin voters overwhelmingly elected Justice Janet Protasiewicz to the state Supreme Court in April.

Restore the child tax credit.]( Sign the petition: Child poverty has doubled. Restore the child tax credit. TARGET: Congress According to the Census Bureau, child poverty more than doubled from 5.2% in 2021 to 12.4% in 2022. This was no accident. In December 2021, Congress failed to extend the federal child tax credit that had lifted nearly 4 million kids out of poverty. There has been no success at restoring it since. - [Sign the petition: Demand banks stop funding the climate crisis!]( Sign the petition: Demand banks stop funding the climate crisis! TARGET: Congress As long as the climate crisis remains unchecked, devastating weather events will increase in frequency. The world’s largest banks poured $673 billion into fossil fuel companies last year. The Fossil Free Finance Act would require big banks to stop financing greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. - [Sign the petition: We Must Preserve DACA!]( Sign the petition: We Must Preserve DACA! A federal judge in Texas just ruled that The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, a beacon of hope for hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, has been declared unlawful.
