Tell Google to end its ban on independent repair shops

How is this fair? Manufacturers can advertise on Google’s search engine, but Google bans independent repair shops from doing the same.

We need to have options when it comes to repairing our devices — it saves us money and reduces electronic waste. Sign our letter to Google asking it to end its ban on independent repair companies.

The ban came out of Google’s attempt to crack down on scammers posing as repair companies. To keep legitimate repair businesses from being shut out, Google said it would create a verification system that would allow them to resume advertising.

Debt collectors are harassing people during the pandemic

We’re in the middle of a global pandemic and an economic crisis. The last thing any of us needs right now is to be hounded every few hours by out-of-control debt collection companies.

But unfortunately, that’s what’s happening to thousands of people. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has received more than 6,000 complaints from people being harassed by debt collectors since March 1.

The CFPB was created 10 years ago to protect people from these kinds of predatory practices, and it has the power to stop them.

It's time to shut down, start over and do it right

America is on a path to reach 200,000 COVID-19 deaths by Nov. 1. Each one of those 200,000 is someone's family member or dear friend.
 

There's been so much death already; why are we continuing to insist on "reopening our economy" when we know that will directly result in further outbreaks?

It's clear that the only way we can hope to contain this virus is for our country to shut back down in order to mitigate the effects of the devastating new outbreaks that have resulted from reopening. We also need more testing, more tracing, and more PPE for our frontline workers.

For a fair and safe election we need vote-by-mail

COVID-19 has turned mass gatherings into a serious public health risk. And yet, this April, Wisconsin went ahead with in-person voting in its primary elections -- forcing voters to choose between their health and their ballot.

We should be able to participate in our democracy without risking our health. Tell your governor to enact universal vote-by-mail during the COVID-19 crisis.

Come November, this pandemic could still pose a serious threat to public safety.

Enacting universal vote-by-mail is the best way to ensure everyone’s voice is heard, while keeping us all safe. But planning

Help us stop predatory payday loans

It happens: you hit a rough patch, bills pile up, and all of a sudden you can’t make your car payment on time. You should have access to credit that can help you weather the storm.

But for many Americans, their only options are predatory “payday” loans, with sky-high annual interest rates averaging 400 percent and short repayment periods that trap people in a cycle of debt that’s incredibly difficult to break.

We should be giving Americans down on their luck a chance to get back on their feet, not turning their hardship into a long-term crisis.
