Numerous families will be affected and it will bring devastating circumstances if not addressed immediately.

The NEW YORK CITY working class has been financially crippled by the critical and necessary measures put in place to slow the spread of COVID-19. Though the federal or state government may eventually provide relief, the immediate conservation of our limited financial resources is necessary for our own and our family's health and wellbeing. Rentors, Leasors, banks and other relevant institutions can, as a class seek their own relief; the state and federal government is much more responsive and historically more likely to act on their behalf. With containment of the virus no where in sight, we must be able to protect our limited cash flow immediately.

My husband is currently detained at the Yuba County Jail Processing Center. I have not had constant communication with my husband as as this Covid-19 pandemic has increased, we both find myself more concerned and panicked to say the least. I know that living in the borderland they are more susceptible due to the massive amount of immigrants trying to cross looking for a better life. I feel like it is only a matter of time and pretty much inevitable that this virus will outbreak in the center, I mean the conditions are already poor even in their best circumstances. I know that ICE has the discretion to release these people from custody and I feel like there is no better time than now. These people need to be with their families, especially in these dire times. I am asking for your help to be heard for these people in custody. I am asking for a louder voice, I would like to reach the Warden of the Detention Center as well as the Ice field office directors attention to push them to release the detainees. The Country has been declared to be in State of Emergency, Gov. Gavin Newsom on 3/19/20 sent executive orders to prohibited crowds of 10 or more, The housing more than 60-70 people per barrack, making the center contradict orders given by Newsom. The facility has made NO changes in the way they handle possible contact contamination, no hand sanitizer, no antibacterial wipes, no deep cleaning! We are in a crisis and I am begging for the life of my husband and on behalf of the lives of all those other detainees, please help me us be heard. Our country needs to unite and what better way then to have these immigrants unite with their families! Public health agencies around the world are sounding the alarm about COVID-19’s impact as the number of cases in the country rises. Those detained in close quarters are particularly susceptible to contracting and rapidly spreading this highly contagious virus.[1] We know from experience that medical care at ICE facilities in California are inadequate, and that proper measures have not been taken to ensure the safety of detained people, facility staff, and other visitors to the Yuba County Jail Processing Center during this outbreak. Medical professionals recommend strict social distancing as a crucial measure for avoiding transmission, but this is impossible to implement in a detention facility.

Like people across the U.S., I have a loved one who is incarcerated in federal prison. We miss him. And with the spread of COVID-19, we worry. Whatever view you have of prisons, no one should be sentenced to die from COVID-19. Our loved one, like other inmates, can't practice COVID-19 safety protocols, such as social distancing, regular hand washing, and rigorous hygiene. He shares a cell that is 7 X 8 feet, with bunk bed and lockers taking up much of that space. In his unit, 130 people share 6 showers, 4 toilets, 4 urinals, and 9 bathroom sinks. When prisoners' risk of exposure increases, so do the risks for staff, who come and go from the prison, and the wider community who interacts with those staff. Financial pressures also increase for families, prisons, the healthcare system, and the economy at large. Because of these credible risks, state and county facilities, as well as correctional institutions in other countries, are reducing their prison populations. It's time for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons to do the same. Please tell our U.S. Senators and Representatives to direct the BOP to adopt comprehensive safety protocols immediately. The protocols should release inmates who have limited time remaining on their sentences and have a minimum Recidivism Risk Level assessment; if need be, they could be placed on home confinement via GPS monitoring and could shelter in place. Bringing inmates, like our loved one, home right now would reduce the risks to everyone. It would also bring our family together during this stressful time. In times like these, we need each other. Will you sign this petition and help us all?

We should be just as important to protect. We are out in public and in buildings with many other workers and trade to a point where social distancing is nearly impossible. Also the shortage of PPE is another fact. Whatever is available, companies should keep workers home and donate what they have available to hospitals, etc. If we want to stop the spread, only hospitals, food, and supply stores should remain active at this critical time. Do this and minimize the spread even more. We have families to go home to and we shouldn't be forced to work unless it benefits hospitals, food, or supply stores.

It is imperative that we have a common-sense approach that protects we the people and not corporations. In terms of potential deaths and the impact on our economy, the crisis we face from coronavirus is on the scale of a major war, and we must act accordingly. We must begin thinking on a scale comparable to the threat, and make sure that we are protecting working people, low-income people, and the most vulnerable communities, not just giant corporations and Wall Street.

1. It’s safer than smoking: Just ask the Royal College of Physicians. They’re a prestigious organization representing over 35,000 doctors worldwide. They have stated that vaping is at least 95% safer than smoking based on their extensive research. Since there’s no combustion, tar or ash associated with vaping, switching to it from smoking enables the user to experience health benefits from being smoke-free. That means better oral hygiene, skin health, circulation, lung capacity and an improved sense of smell and taste. 2. No noxious odors: One of the biggest advantages of vaping is that you and your environment won’t smell of smoke. Vaping may have an aroma from the flavors used, but it’s not the smoke from dead tobacco leaves! To some people, the smell of vapor is barely noticeable. Sometimes you might even get a few complements on the aroma. Even if you vape tobacco flavors, it won’t smell like the rank fumes that come from burning tobacco leaves. 3. Control over nicotine intake: Vaping gives you full control over your nicotine dosage. E-juice is available in a variety of strengths, ranging from nicotine-free to high-strength nicotine. You can choose exactly how much nicotine is in your vape, if you decide to use any at all. Most vapers tend to start off with high nicotine levels, and gradually work their way down to lower levels, or eliminate it completely. Banning flavors for vape devices will only cause minors and adults to resort back to smoking or to start smoking tobacco products, which is more harmful to your health, than vaping, which has been proven. No illnesses have been linked to legal, nicotine vaping products. Yet lawmakers are taking sweeping actions with unintended consequences. Vitamin E Acetate and illegal additives purchased from the black market are the cause for the epidemic. Why ban flavors for vape devices, when vaping isn't the issue? Makes no sense! Your targeting the vaping industry for something that is out of their control. Why not go after the illegal parties responsible for the sales of illegal items purchased from the black markets, such as (Vitamin E Acetate)? Banning flavors will NOT stop people from vaping. Go after the culprit that's selling the illegal additives to minors. Don't destroy the vaping industry just because you have a theory. Let's be realistic here. Vaping helped save my life. No illnesses have been linked to legal, nicotine vaping products. Yet lawmakers are taking sweeping actions with unintended consequences... In September, investigators with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office raided a home being used to manufacture and distribute cannabis oil. Law enforcement confiscated more than a thousand “Dank” packaged vape cartridges, which have been connected with the recent spate of vaping-related illnesses and deaths around the country. Despite growing evidence that these illnesses are the result of vaping illicit products – like the ones confiscated in this raid – state and federal lawmakers continue to target legal vape products with bans, like the ones imposed in Michigan, New York and Massachusetts. But why won’t lawmakers and public health officials be honest with the public about what’s behind these respiratory problems? Why continue to point fingers at legitimate products like the ones sold at chains of vape shops in the U.S.? And why are officials not considering the unintended consequences of their impulsiveness? Illnesses involved THC, not nicotine Alabama reports its first vaping death on Oct. 2. The death toll across the nation now stands at 17. The hundreds of illnesses – and now twelve deaths – associated with vaping are alarming. But the overwhelming majority of these cases are the result of individuals vaping products with THC, the psychoactive drug found in marijuana. None of the cases reported have yet to be linked to legal, nicotine vaping products. And it’s unlikely they will. Despite this, lawmakers are taking sweeping actions that are likely to have serious unintended consequences. Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker announced a public health emergency and a four-month statewide ban on all vaping products in the state. California announced that residents should stop vaping right away. And, of course, the Trump administration has declared it will move to ban all flavored e-cigarettes. While politicians want to show a swift response, these bans are going to have the wrong effect. Nicotine e-cigarettes can help smokers quit. E-cigarettes are a critical form of harm reduction. The Royal College of Physicians found e-cigarettes to be 95% less harmful than smoking. And e-cigarettes are nearly twice as effective at helping adult smokers quit than other nicotine replacement therapies like patches or gum. In fact, some hospitals in the United Kingdom have started making available e-cigarettes to patients as an alternative. Nicotine e-cigarettes have been on the market for a decade. Had they truly been a danger to users, it’s fairly likely a serious respiratory illness would have emerged before now. "STOP THE DISTRIBUTION OF BLACK MARKET SALES, INCLUDING VITAMIN-E ACETATE" "NOT VAPE PRODUCTS OR FLAVORS". THE VAPE INDUSTRY IS "NOT TO BE OF BLAME!" HELP US STOP THE ENACTMENT OF "HR 2339!" Let your voice be heard. Sign this petition today!!!!!!

Spain and its beautiful autonomous region, Catalonia, have many friends throughout the world who are deeply disturbed by the ongoing struggles and now, the heartbreaking medical crisis in Catalonia that is impacting its society and its economy. Many of us look forward to returning to Spain and contributing to its economy and the economy of its unique regions. But Catalonia must first be allowed to address its medical needs and to impose an immediate lock down to stop the spread of coronavirus infection. We ask for your urgent action so that Catalonia can stem the impact of this humanitarian crisis quickly and preserve its vital economy. Thank you for your consideration of this global appeal.

Poll workers dropping out. Last-minute polling place closures. Voter confusion. Low turnout. Voters in Florida, Arizona, and Illinois dealt with these unprecedented challenges and more on their primary day due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. In response, election officials must take the necessary steps to ensure that every voter can cast their ballot safely going forward. That includes temporarily postponing in-person voting. The Center for Disease Control has advised against events and gatherings nationwide and has called for individuals to practice social distancing. Election officials must follow the guidance of these public health experts -- and step up to prevent serious disruptions and risks to voters in future state primaries. It’ll take all of us -- whether you live in a state that has already voted, one that’s voting soon, one that isn’t voting until the summer -- speaking out together to make sure that voters can exercise their rights without fear or confusion. Add your name to tell election officials: in-person voting must be delayed for the next few weeks -- to protect voters and our democracy.

Sign on to tell Governor Cooper to place a temporary moratorium on the enforcement of eviction orders and to push Congress to do the same nationally. Keep Families safe during this COVID-19 crisis. We are calling on Governor Cooper and Congress to take three immediate actions for housing security during this time of crisis: A national moratorium on evictions. This should include a moratorium on all foreclosures, evictions of both public and private housing, sweeps of houseless people, and utility shutoffs, and restore utility service for all households. A national mortgage and rent holiday. This should cover public and private properties by passing a law reducing rents and mortgage payments to zero for the duration of the crisis, including any fees or interest payments. A national $200 billion dollar Housing Security Fund. This fund should be used to provide: at least $120 billion for rent and mortgage payment assistance for anyone affected by the pandemic; adequate funding for homes and expanded services for people experiencing homelessness; and assistance to families to secure safe housing in this crisis and its aftermath, with payment support to cover applications, first month’s rent, and security deposits. In addition, the federal government must provide immediate cash payments to all people in the United States, immediately, and ensure a just, green transition post-pandemic. See the full set of demands for federal action here. These actions for housing security are essential in our fight to slow the spread of COVID-19. This pandemic has the potential to exponentially increase inequality in America, and if it does it will also worsen the pandemic itself. We need immediate and bold federal action now to ensure all have safe and secure housing through this crisis.

In the face of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, many spas in Colorado have not closed, endangering the health of their employees. A partial list includes: St Julien Spa, The Broadmoor, Brown Palace, Massage Envy, Idaho Springs Resort.  Massage Therapists, Aestheticians, Cosmetologists, Manicurists, and Pedicurists are in extreme danger because they cannot follow the 6-foot social distancing rule.
