Boycott Trump BusinessesTrumps words of fear are undermining American democracy and result in discrimination of the worst kind. America is the land of immigrants. Diversity makes us stronger not weaker. Irrational fear will not solve the brutality of some in the world.62 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joel N. Martin

Fathers Matter "HERA'S LAW"Fathers' rights are integral in today's society, and a vital part of any child's development. Recently in a dependency hearing for contempt my attorney charged the state with fraud. I am going on 2 years without being able to see my daughter. This has gone on completely ignored by the local 18th judicial circuit here in Brevard County, Florida. I am hoping to proceed with all of my documented procedural history and file a civil claim that perhaps will lead to criminal charges which will pave the way for a possible bill sponsorship by senator or congressman (Hera's Law ). I don't get into the particulars of my case because a minor is involved, but i hope that one day soon my daughter's mother, realizing the bias that has been placed in her favor, will join me in this civil claim, providing her testimony as a deposition of facts that will cement this claim against the state and DCF for their criminal act at the expense of my daughter's relationship with me as her father. This will many other children and good fathers alike. I am streamlining our complaint and civil rights efforts with petition projects. Here are the official links : https://www.change.org/p/fathers-matter-vote-yes-for-hera-s-law http://www.thepetitionsite.com/173/616/558/fathers-matter-vote-yes-"heras-law"/ http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/fathers-rights-heras136 of 200 SignaturesCreated by david henry

Educators of Conscience Decry Trump's Attack on MuslimsWe, as educators of conscience, stand in defense of our Muslim Sisters and Brothers and formally denounce any and all anti-Muslim rhetoric and sentiment. American communities and their schools should be safe havens for all students, and we as educators must stand by all members of our community, regardless of faith. Recent inflammatory statements by a presidential candidate serve only to divide us and to create an atmosphere of fear and prejudice. These statements are reminiscent of our nation’s past injustices, including: the attacks on German-Americans during WWI the wave of race riots against African-Americans after WWI the blacklists of the McCarthy hearings in the 1950s the barring of Jewish emigres into this country during WWII the internment of Japanese and Italian Americans during WWII We call on all public officials and candidates to denounce religious and racial bigotry. Furthermore, we call on school district personnel to work together to create and implement programs that celebrate diversity and foster an attitude of tolerance. It is the responsibility of every American citizen to defend the ideals that this country embraces, including but certainly not limited to the freedom of religion.

Donald Trump should visit a mosque in the United States.Donald Trump wants to ban Muslims from traveling to the United States, including U.S. citizen Muslims outside the United States at the time of the restriction. He says he wants to "understand" the problem of radical Islam. Maybe first he should understand ordinary and peaceful non-radical Islam, which truly represents 99% of all Muslims throughout the world.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anthony J. Palik

Reparations For Indigenous People of AmericaI am an indigenous mother of North America whose lawfully acquired home has been attacked by a descendant of Europe who is capitalizing on the fact that State and City offices have the option of acknowledgment of Indigenous people of The United states of America, including North America, Central America and South America. The current laws that govern and protect us are at an International level and must be written into Local and National Legislature.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Takara Bey

Justice For Us NationwideThere are many reasons why I am starting this petition. First, African Americans are not respected and treated equally in this country. Second, there have been too many coincidences in which African American men, boys, and women have been gunned down by outraged law enforcers and vigilantes. This has to stop. Thirdly, the time is now for us to stand up and fight for equal justice and rights for all African American citizens. I am personally affected by the issue of gun violence being committed against African Americans because I am an African American male and I could be a victim of injustice next. As African Americans, we must stand together and fight the Injustice System that has been murdering us and acquitting those who also do the same. In too many cases, we hear about young African Americans being gunned down by police. There is a long list starting with Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Freedie Graye, Sandra Bland, Walter Scott, Laquan McDonald and all other African Americans who were victims of gun violence committed by law enforcers. Let's eradicate the number of African American victims by signing this petition and getting the attention of Congress and the White House. Thanks, Antonio Miller21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Antonio Miller
