College student discount fare on B.A.R.T. (Bay Area Rapid Transit)Vote yes for discounted tickets for college students to ride to and from school on B.A.R.T. College students are a part of the community that deserves it, they are the core of the community, and our future. Don't kick students while their down and make them pay high tuition and book fees and now full price transportation. They are already in debt. Students don't have money because they don't have a job yet. That is why they are still in school, they are trying to better themselves by going to college. They are doing the right thing, they are staying out of trouble and hopefully give back to the community after they graduate. Possibly buy a discount fare to clipper card at the colleges themselves to verify school status. Lets all work together.272 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Jeremiah Pinguelo

SCHOOL ZONESCities of Albany and El Cerrito do not have school zones in their municipal codes, so there is currently a huge lack of funding, safety and attention to the schools and their community... School zones are here to ensure the safety of our kids while walking or biking to and from school. School Zones help build a healthier community by encouraging families to bike or walk safely to and from school using suggested "Safe Routes To School" using Crossing Guards and "Complete Sidewalks" During School hours speed limit 15 MPH because we are trying to make it safer, any speed faster would be too fast to slow or stop resulting in running over your kid. Speed bumps on School streets. Double fine in school zones helps raise $ for the city and makes it safer for our kids crossing the street, cost mutual solution. High visibility school signs are a very efficient way to spend money. School zones will be funded by the state as soon as School Zones" are put in the city "municipal code book" school zones will create jobs by funding the hiring of many "crossing guards" and hundreds of thousands of dollars for high visible signs. School zones also makes guns drugs and tobacco illegal on school property oup to 1000 feet away. all this is here to protect our kids & our future, safer routes to school, slower traffic around schools, allows proper street signs for school to be put in place, for high visibility crosswalks and bike lanes. I wrote a letter to Jerry Brown last year and he wrote back and said there is money waiting for the city if they add the school zone in their code book, and this is probably something that was just overlooked not realizing they don't exist in the code book. the city hall told me they don't have money to put up signs or to hire additional crossing guards, I shared with them that if they add them the state will fund all of that.. the city is missing out and also new this year the "Pedestrian Safety Act California" came out and I am probably the most excited person on the planet right now. soon it will be safer for all pedestrians to feel safe crossing the street, because not one crosswalk is any more important than another! It also creates a better local economy if more people feel safer to walk around the city to eat or shop, which in turn creates a healthier, and greener community by walking or biking instead of driving. I am a male with no kids in the school system, so I am not a powerful voice at the city hall, need all your help to make this possible.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeremiah Pinguelo

Stop discrimination of employmentThe reason I am starting this petition is to help put a stop to discrimation of those who have been previously convicted of a felony. I was convicted of a class 6 felony in 2008 and since 2009 when I was released I have not been able to find employement. People say that when a person does their time the sentence and punishment is served. Where is the justice for those that made mistakes and are still paying for them. For instance the coviction that I pled to was for attempted aggrivated domestic violence. And since the conviction I have applied to Lowe's Home Improvement on several occasions. All of which I have been told that I am not able to be hired due to my answers on my assessment. How is this possible when the majority of my working life has been in customer service with the highest remarks? It is because of my background and even though my civil right have been restored I am not given fair treatment and I wanted to start this because I am sure that there are others out there that are expierencing the same unfair treatment.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Zimmerman

Please sign this petition if you want to preserve gun laws in the USA.. The Castle Doctrine started in Florida in 2005 & spread to 26 other States.

Civil Rights Office in North Carolina Public Official AccountabilityPrivate US citizens of NC currently do not have an office to submit a grievance letter to for due process to report racial discrimination or misconduct of public officials, because there is no state office to investigate public officials misconduct , these private citizens will have to pay a lawyer to navigate the state Court of Appeals. Many can’t afford a lawyer and never receive justice. A state civil rights office will give all a fair chance at justice. Currently many families and children have been targets of racial discrimination and hate crimes. Please watch our video of the Student with No Hope. Take action with your signature and help us stop the HATE. http://youtu.be/68_lW1ge1dE38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Telethia Denise Barrett
