I am starting this petition to ban housing discrimination against citizens who have been previously convicted of a felony. The people of Florida have spoken loud and clear that returning citizens should have the constitutional right to vote and have a human right to obtain fair housing. Please sign.

Massachusetts has been rated as #4 in the country for antisemitic attacks.

Big and Drastic changes need to be made. If children are our future then let's look out for all of them, not just the ones who are better off. Some of these kids escape foster care, get adopted or straighten out, but why can't we do something profound and positive to change the way things are done? Things have been done the same for way too long in this CPS and family court system and too often overlooked, ignored or people are not listened to. People who have been through CPS and not gotten their child/children back are not listened to. One reason I believe is that people want to think that they just didn't try hard enough, didn't do what the court asked of them, couldn't stay off drugs. I mean what other possibilities could there be, right? What purpose does it serve for CPS to lie? People who haven't been through it don't believe that CPS could be keeping good parents away from their kids, so they don't believe it and the cycle continues until someone decent somewhere with the power to help make this system more regulated steps in. It's happening way too often and without anyone getting hurt except children and families, our most important asset. Sign & Share, Share, Share.

Being rudely awakened by early morning screams and chants (6:30 AM), followed by banging on containers, bullhorns sounding, sometimes three times a day/seven days a week! Outrageous and inconsiderate! Quality of life deteriorating at intersection of 8th and Olive, DTLA.

My story is sort of a long one. In 2014, my husband and I lost custody of our 4 children AFTER Athens County Children Services fabricated their story and their stories didn't match up in court. At that point in time, my husband, to whom I wasn't married at the time, was between jobs working minimum wage and I had never had a job before. We have since changed our life. In April of 2018, my husband and I got married (we have been together since 2003) and he now works 2 jobs plus I work full time, at home, and I've had my job over a year. When we got married in April, we started talking about having another baby; we thought that since we changed our life around, it would be amazing to finally move forward and be able to raise a family. Then, on March 21st, 2019 I was transported an hour and a half away to Riverside hospital in Columbus to have a C-Section done, which was my first C-section and I was terrified because my preeclampsia had gotten worse and my blood pressure would not decrease. On the morning of March 22nd, 2019, at approximately 4:48 am, Bryleigh Louise was born weighing 6lbs 8.3oz. For 3 days I took care of her in the hospital: Feedings, diaper changes, and just holding her. On the morning of March 25th, 2019, I had gotten my discharge papers and was waiting on my daughter to get discharged, the nurse came in and got her and said it was for one last weight check. I didn't know that would be the last time I would hold her in my arms. I received a call on the hospital room phone from Athens County Children Services stating they had emergency custody of my daughter. When asked the reason, she stated it was our past history. I went to court the next day for the shelter hearing. The judge continued the emergency custody, that's all he discussed, he never said anything about visitations AND he never said there was no visitation. I called ACCS when I got home to set up visitation. The lady I spoke to said there won't be any visitation because since they're going for permanent custody, it is not mandatory for them to let me see her. In court documents that my lawyer pointed out to me, they are SUPPOSED to be giving me visitation. It is now May 22nd, 2019, Bryleigh is 2 months old now and I've not seen her since March 25th, 2019. Accs should investigate my home and our jobs and give us a chance to raise our daughter. Something seriously needs to be done about ACCS, they need investigated. They've not only ripped my life apart and taken my daughter at a crucial time where she needs both of her parents, but they have done the same to others and their families. It is too late to speak up for some families, but I want my voice heard so it stops CPA from destroying the families that they are trying to take control of. I have tried reaching out to ABC6 On Your Side about two months ago, but never got a response, so the next best thing is to start this petition in hopes of getting justice. Please help me bring my daughter home!

CPS is trying to terminate my parental rights and trying to illegally steal my son.

The issue is simple. Currently in Massachusetts transgender and non-binary residents cannot identify themselves for who they truly are. By the state not allowing for an a gender neutral marker, "X", our government makes transgender and non-binary resident invisible. They literally cannot identify as themselves in the eyes of the state, there is no mechanism. This lack of a gender neutral identification option is discriminatory - demonstrating a fundamental lack of acceptance and respect for our friends, relatives and neighbors. Currently, Mass Drivers Licenses/IDs and birth certificates only allow for male/female designation. If a trans/non-binary resident wants to have their voter registration reflect their gender identity rather than the default M/F, they must petition the Secretary of the Commonwealth! This binary requirement, allowing only male or female, is likely pervasive across all agencies in the Commonwealth. While bathroom access is important, being recognized for who you are is essential. For national context, Massachusetts would be among approximately 10 states and DC who have already allowed gender neutral markers for drivers licenses and among 4 states that have allowed gender neutral IDs for birth certificates. WHERE THINGS STAND IN MASS. LEGISLATURE: In April, gender neutral ID legislation passed overwhelmingly in the state Senate, 39-1. Unfortunately, despite this strong support, it appears to be stuck in the House. The House version of the bill, H3664, was originally filed in the House by Rep. Mindy Domb of Amherst and Rep. Decker of Cambridge. This bill is stuck in the Joint Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight; there is no hearing scheduled. Unless this bill is voted favorably out of committee so the full House can vote on it, it will die. Getting this done soon is important to keep momentum before legislators break in July for the summer. This petition seeks to get a hearing set by the Committee and then asks that the Committee vote to approve the bill for consideration by the entire Mass. House. In addition to signing petition, consider a call or email to Committee and ask them for hearing for H3664 Chair Danielle W. Gregoire [email protected] (617) 722-2140 Vice Chair Sean Garballey [email protected] (617) 722-2090 Thank you!

We aren't allowed to practice our religion how we should be able to.

At age 12 my daughter had court-ordered visitation with her father after a long custody battle. He was given the entire summer. While in his care she was sexually assaulted by her stepbrother and verbally and physically abused and neglected by her father. She did not want to go to begin with, stating to her guardian ad litem. When she spoke on things she endured at the supervision of her father, no one would listen. She then decided to start recording. The magistrate refused to listen to the recordings or even talk to my daughter. My daughter's life will never be the same; she has been diagnosed with PTSD behind the traumatic physical, mental, and sexual abuse. Now my daughter is 14 and an order is in place for her to return to yet another full summer visitation, facing her attacker, now age 16. My child has threatened to kill herself or run away if she ever has to go back. I'm here to start a petition. If a 14-year-old can work part-time or schedule their own high school courses, they should be able to come before a judge and state why they do or don't want to live or have visitation with a non-residential parent, especially when in danger or fearing for their life. A child at age 13 can refuse to be medicated, a child at 12 can be unsupervised and seen as responsible enough to be left home alone. So with Sanyi Law, with proper evidence and part of the investigation, a 14-year-old should be able to voice their concerns and experience as with whom they prefer to live and have visitation. We the people are obligated to protect our children. The court system has failed my child; she has now been exposed to experiences that will forever haunt her. Sanyi Law At age 14 in the state of Ohio, one should have a say in who they reside with and be protected from harmful visitation and exposures, before a magistrate or judge makes a decision pertaining to custody matters. Thanks.

My sibling is transgender and transphobia is seemingly becoming a trend amongst Trump supporters. I personally care too much about my sibling along with the rights of transgender people to see something like this pass in the supreme court. This is unjust and not moral and in no way represents what America is based off of.

I'm a desperate mother lost in the corrupt system. My children are in foster care waiting to be adopted like a litter of puppies. They are trying to terminate my rights. I've done everything they ask, jumped through their hoops, and it still wasn't good enough. I'm still keeping up on my child support payments, visiting my babies as much as they will let me, and working my Perm Plan. I have a job and a 3-bedroom apartment for them. They are using the fact that I have no support system; my children's father, husband of 10 years, was my support system but they said I couldn't have any contact with him because he wouldn't communicate with DCS. Now DCS has filed a TPR on both of us after he started working his plan. Our children were taken due to domestic violence, but it was complete hearsay. There was absolutely no evidence, but they took them anyway. My babies have been gone for three years. Please let me reunite my family. 👪 Thank you for each and every signature.
