Stop Risking Women’s Lives With Pregnancy Complications
A West Virginia woman could have died from pregnancy complications after she had to drive hours to receive a legal abortion despite it being an emergency.

Stop Overconsumption From Destroying the Planet
Excess consumerism is now a leading cause of climate change, in which the buying habits of first world countries produce carbon emissions exponentially greater than those of other regions.

Stop Torturing Detained Women With Reportedly Unnecessary Medical Procedures
A doctor employed by the US government reportedly used excessive force and performed unauthorized procedures on a detained migrant woman.

Demand this alleged torture of detained migrant women be stopped.
Stop Stalling on Mental Health Support for College Students
Mass shootings at colleges and universities started barely 100 years ago and have only been gaining in number. The current plan to address mental health on campuses relies too much on students seeking their own help and does not provide sufficient proactive support. Demand a plan to help schools support student mental health now instead of waiting until the next shooting.
Don’t Let Millions Die From Hunger While Wealthy Nations Prosper
The gap in global wealth inequality is becoming an ever-widening chasm, and too many human beings are falling through the cracks. Demand rich nations do their fair share in ending deadly famine and hunger.
