Sometimes people can use a bit of encouragement. For example, people on strike. Can you give strikers a boost by clicking here?

Also people who should run for president. In Oregon, we're encouraging Senator Jeff Merkley -- who has spoken out on team Biden's failures in addressing the climate crisis -- to enter Democratic primaries. Nationally, we're encouraging President Joe Biden to pay attention to why we want Merkley as a candidate.

And people who shouldn't run for president, or who should retire from the Senate. Click here to encourage President Biden to step aside, and here to encourage Senator Dianne Feinstein (and those making decisions for her) to retire from the Senate.

We're also thanking Senator Bernie Sanders for having said he'll vote no on military spending unless it is reduced, but encouraging him and all of his colleagues to at long last end U.S. participation in the war on Yemen.

We also want to encourage you to look at some of our recent successes and to create your own petitions. You know your local issues and the issues you work on best. RootsAction knows how to promote and use petitions. Together, we've been racking up the victories. Check out and support others' petitions, and create your own at DIY.RootsAction.org.
