Long story short: tell PA state legislators to make it easier to escape medical debt, tell our government to break up the Ticketmaster monopoly and end the abusive practice of assessing “junk fees,” and tell states to ban facial recognition software from our schools. Use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs to communicate your will.
Pennsylvania residents, take note: the Pennsylvania Health Access Network helps you tell your state Senator to pass legislation helping good Pennsylvanians escape medical debt more easily. Don’t fall for any ball-swinging about how if you didn’t want the crushing debt, you should’ve done things differently, because thanks to banksters and big health insurance corporations anyone can take on medical debt at any time, no matter how many miles they run or how much fiber they eat, and it’s not like you ever have the “option” to just get sicker because you never know which medical practitioner is suddenly not in your network anymore. Our PA House already passed this legislation; now our Senate must act.
MoveOn helps you tell our Department of Justice (or DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (or FTC) to break up the Ticketmaster monopoly and end their notorious practice of assessing “junk fees.” You know what a junk fee is just by looking at the last ticket you bought and see all the “convenience fees” and “ticket fees” and “delivery fees” and “order fees” and “fuck you we do what we want fees” (did I make that last one up? It sure doesn’t seem like it) that balloon the price of your ticket far beyond what they said it’d cost. And Ticketmaster can get away with that because they basically control the entire ticket market these days. Monopolies only benefit already overpaid corpulent executives; regular folks like us deserve better.
Fight for the Future helps you tell states to ban facial recognition software in our schools. Where does one start with this absurdly shitty idea? With the software’s apparent inability to tell Black folks apart any better than your right-wing uncle does? With all the data this software collects about students that can be monetized and used against them? With the corporate welfare inherent in handing out taxpayer money to private corporations to create bad software? With administrators abandoning any pretense that they’ll simply walk around the school and find out where folks are and what they’re doing? I really don’t know where to start with this one. I know where to end, though: by telling states to kill it dead.
