We are at a tipping point. As we push toward our goal of 200 signatures, the national landscape is shifting in ways that make this cause more urgent than ever. This isn't just a petition; it’s a demand for a future where basic human dignity isn't a luxury.

The Hard Facts of 2026:

• The Tax Gap: While the "One Big Beautiful Bill" has adjusted standard deductions, systemic gaps remain. Billionaires are seeing trillions in breaks, while the programs we rely on—like SNAP and student loan support—are facing over $1 trillion in proposed cuts.

• The Education Crisis: Over 411,000 teaching positions nationwide are currently vacant or filled by under-certified staff. One in eight classrooms is struggling to provide a basic education because we aren't investing in the people who raise the next generation.

• The Healthcare Barrier: Nearly 11% of Americans cannot afford basic care. In 2026, insurance premiums are spiking, and 1 in 7 adults are forced to skip or split their life-saving medications just to pay their rent.

• Homelessness on the Rise: While some states are fighting back, family homelessness has jumped nearly 38% in major cities. These aren't just numbers; these are children sleeping in cars while tax loopholes remain wide open.

Why Your Signature Matters NOW

We have 165 signatures. We need just 35 more to reach our next milestone and send a clear message that we are watching, we are informed, and we will not be ignored.

The system says these issues are too "complex" to fix, but we know the truth: it’s a matter of priority. We choose people over profits. We choose classrooms over tax breaks for the 1%.
