Sign the petition: Expand Social Security

[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: Expand Social Security]( Sign the petition: Expand Social Security TARGET: Congress Social Security is the most important source of retirement income for a vast majority of Americans. Nearly half of Americans do not have access to or have no acquired retirement savings otherwise, making Social Security even more essential to retirement security. - [Sign the petition: Congress must protect all workers’ rights]( Sign the petition: Congress must protect all workers’ rights TARGET: Congress Corporations will stop at nothing to quash worker power and protect their profits at all costs. A new Biden Administration rule would ensure that jointly employed workers can exercise their right to bargain collectively for better pay and benefits, and employers are accountable when they violate workplace standards. But Congress is considering blocking that rule so corporate bosses can exploit workers with impunity. - [Sign the petition: Keep internet access on for 22 million households]( Sign the petition: Keep internet access on for 22 million households TARGET: Congress The Affordable Connectivity Program has been a critical lifeline for millions of Americans, providing essential access to high-speed internet. But it is now set to expire, unless Congress takes action. - [Sign the petition: Make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. Fully fund the IRS]( Sign the petition: Make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. Fully fund the IRS TARGET: Congress Ever since President Biden & Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, the IRS has identified 1,600 taxpayers who reported over $1 million in income and had been skimping on their taxes. It's working, which is why Wall Street billionaires are using their considerable access and power to threaten IRS funding. - [Coffee? Tea? Hot chocolate? Cider?

He has argued that we do not live in a democracy, and was a leading architect to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Every single Republican must answer for the extreme views of their new House Speaker. - [Sign the petition: Prioritize nominating and confirming judges in 2024]( Sign the petition: Prioritize nominating and confirming judges in 2024 TARGET: Biden & Senate Democrats President Biden's initial judicial nominations marked a promising start towards a more representative judiciary and a repair to the damage caused by Trump appointments. But now, due to Republican obstruction and delays in making nominations, it has slowed down considerably. - [Sign the petition: Impeach Justice Clarence Thomas]( Sign the petition: Impeach Justice Clarence Thomas TARGET: Congress Clarence Thomas' exploitation of his position for personal luxury – including cruises, private jets, and resort vacations funded by Crow – is just the tip of the iceberg in his ethical lapses. His refusal to recuse himself from cases with clear conflicts of interest is particularly alarming. His decisions have consistently undermined marginalized communities, challenged democratic principles, and threatened rights like those established in Roe v. Wade. - [Grassroots donations from our readers and activists keeps Daily Kos operating.

Donate $3 to DK-endorsed Florida Dem to flip a state House seat from red to blue]( - [Sign the petition: Demand the GOP stop their baseless impeachment efforts]( Sign the petition: Demand the GOP stop their baseless impeachment efforts TARGET: House Republicans House Republicans are kicking off 2024 by initiating YET ANOTHER baseless impeachment inquiry, this time targeting Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. - [Sign if you agree: A vote for Trump is a vote against our democracy's survival]( Sign if you agree: A vote for Trump is a vote against our democracy's survival The twice-impeached disgraced former president, Donald Trump, is still running for president in 2024. Being indicted for attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election will not automatically disqualify him from the ballot. Donald Trump must be held accountable. - [2023 was the hottest year in human history. This is not sustainable.

Abbott’s human rights abuses immediately TARGET: U.S. Department of Justice Asylum is a legal right, but it is also a basic human right, founded on the right to human dignity. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is abusing people seeking asylum for publicity. - [Sign the petition: Don't jeopardize Ukraine aid for GOP's anti-immigrant wish list]( Sign the petition: Don't jeopardize Ukraine aid for GOP's anti-immigrant wish list TARGET: Congress Without Congress approving additional funds to help Ukraine, the United States will soon run out of money for this effort. But Republicans are stalling this aid by demanding draconian asylum, parole and detention policies at the U.S.-Mexico border. - [Sign the petition: Improve Vote By Mail]( Sign the petition: Improve Vote By Mail With a growing number of voters nationwide relying on mail-in voting, it's essential that they have absolute confidence in the safety and accuracy of their vote. Representative Katie Porter has introduced the Vote By Mail Tracking Act. - [Sign the petition: Disqualify Trump from running for president]( Sign the petition: Disqualify Trump from running for president! The Colorado Supreme Court agrees, and other states must now follow. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment says that any person who has taken an oath to support the U.S. 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: Ban single-use plastics!]( Sign the petition: Ban single-use plastics! TARGET: Congress The United States generates enough plastic waste to fill a football stadium 1.5 times EVERY DAY. It’s past time for immediate action. - [Sign the petition: Decriminalize marijuana now!]( Sign the petition: Decriminalize marijuana now! TARGET: Congress During his 2020 presidential campaign, President Biden vowed to decriminalize cannabis. It's time for the administration and Congress to follow through by supporting the MORE (Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement) Act. - [Sign the petition to Democrats: Stop spending money on Twitter]( Sign the petition to Democrats: Stop spending money on Twitter Despite the disturbing trend of escalating hate speech on X (formerly Twitter), Democratic candidates across federal, state, and local elections have collectively spent over a million dollars for political ads on the platform, even while companies like Apple and Disney have paused ads. - [Sign the petition: Abortion bans are cruel, painful, and inhumane]( Sign the petition: Abortion bans are cruel, painful, and inhumane TARGET: Congress Texas's strict abortion laws are cruel, inhumane, and can lead to life-threatening situations. Abortion bans have a real human cost and states with bans are ignoring that cost. Americans should have the right to safe and accessible reproductive health.
