[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: Ron DeSantis cannot rewrite Black history]( Sign the petition: Ron DeSantis cannot rewrite Black history TARGET: Florida Republicans The new Black history standards approved by the Florida State Board of Education include revisionist and offensive language suggesting that some Black people benefited from slavery because it "taught them useful skills." Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans are out of control. - [Sign the petition: Justice Clarence Thomas must resign]( Sign the petition: Justice Clarence Thomas must resign For 30-plus years, Clarence Thomas has served on the U.S. Supreme Court where he helped overturn the right to abortion, eviscerated the Voting Rights Act, gutted environmental protections and turned on the flow of corporate money that would corrupt our electoral system. During that time, he concealed decades of lavish trips paid for by several major GOP donors, including Harlan Crow. - [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, House Republicans have 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. - [The Washington Post has Jeff Bezos. The New York Times has subscriptions.

With ethical controversies and a lack of accountability clouding the Court, we can't trust its ability to decide monumental cases fairly. We need immediate reform. - [Sign if you agree: No more MAGA circus. Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker!]( Sign if you agree: No more MAGA circus. Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker! TARGET: Congress On October 3, 2023, MAGA Republicans, led by Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), ousted Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. We cannot continue to be held hostage by extremist lawmakers who have repeatedly demonstrated contempt for this country. It's time for real leadership. To save themselves, and the country, so-called moderate House Republicans must replace McCarthy with Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. - [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. 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: Child poverty has doubled. 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. - [Are you a coffee drinker? We've got just the thing for you.

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: 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: 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: 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. - [Stand up for abortion rights and tell Ohio Republicans to back off!

Trader Joe’s management has continued its intense union-busting tactics at every store that's filed for a union election and refuses to bargain in good faith with its workers. We haven’t asked customers to boycott Trader Joe’s, but as their union-busting attempts increase, we need to know how many customers will stand with us in the fight for a fair contract. - [Sign the petition: Hold bank executives accountable]( Sign and send the petition: Hold Pentagon spending accountable TARGET: U.S. Senate Consumers, frontline bank workers, depositors, and the public must be protected from bankers’ greed and short-sighted, risky decision-making. The RECOUP Act would allow regulators to recoup bank executives’ compensation from the two years preceding a bank failure—such as Silicon Valley Bank. - [Sign if you agree: So long, Kevin McCarthy!]( Sign if you agree: So long, Kevin McCarthy! Rather than focus on the issues that matter most to the American people, Kevin McCarthy repeatedly chose to appease the most extreme members of the GOP in a desperate, foolish attempt to protect his power. And now, he became the first ousted House Speaker in U.S. history. - [Sign and send the petition: Congress must modernize USPS now!]( Sign and send the petition: Congress must modernize USPS now! TARGET: Congress The post office has served as a lifeline for many people, including rural and Tribal communities, across the country since the 1700s. It has always grown and changed. Now, Congress must allow USPS to change with the times again and stop Louis DeJoy from destroying it all in a decade. - [Sign the petition: Restore net neutrality!]( Sign the petition: Restore net neutrality! TARGET: Federal Communications Commission We've been waiting years to undo the damage done during the Trump administration. Wealthy phone and cable companies have spent millions to block, delay, or weaken net neutrality protections—this time will be no different. Let's make it clear that everyday Americans support keeping the internet free and open. - [Democracy is on the line once again. Our sturdiest backstops are supreme courts in swing states.
