Recently, I was sent home and threatened to be fired because of a nose ring I have. I’m hoping to make a change. Starting with a company like Seven Springs that is still so harsh with its appearance laws, I’m hoping it will pave the way for other big businesses to rethink their regulations.

Expedia bought the building at the north end of Centennial Park in Seattle a couple of years ago. Seattle Hempfest has been a beloved event in Seattle for 28 years now. Expedia is denying Hempfest access to the parking lot and roads at the North end of the park this year. Expedia makes thousands of dollars each year from our event. Our speakers, volunteers, and attendees come from all over the world to visit Seattle Hempfest and many of them book their flights, hotels, and rental cars through Expedia. Hempfest has used the public access roads 16th Avenue West and Amgen Parkway for over two decades. We load vendors and bands into the park in order to create a north-to-south flow of traffic so that cars and trucks do not have to turn around on the grass and cause destruction of the park. There are only a couple of places in the park where turning around a vehicle is even possible. We have great respect for being able to use Centennial and Myrtle Edwards parks for this event and we work very hard to minimize potential damage to our venue. Expedia has also asked the city to only allow load-in hours between 7:00 pm- 4:00 am. This makes our jobs impossibly difficult and causes undue stress for our vendors who must load their wares in and out of the park each day. As a volunteer, I am angered by the actions of Expedia to limit our access to the parks. Having to restructure our entire load-in and out processes through the South entrance has been difficult. We are a seasoned crew that has worked together for many years, and we have the routine down pat. Now we must change it because of Expedia. These changes mean that several key people in a couple of different departments will have to be at the South end when we need them in our respective departments. There is absolutely no reason that a company who makes so much money from our event should be causing harm to it. Please sign this petition and let the executives at Expedia know that this action is not acceptable, and they need to return access to the North end of the parks during the entire event process. I am a volunteer that is directly negatively impacted by Expedia denying Seattle Hempfest the use of public access roads.

We the people would like to have a discussion about the current state of garbage pickup in Greece, NY. We need to find a solution to the pricing issue for all of the town's citizens.

Residents of the Villas at Hunton Park appreciate that rules and regulations help maintain the safety and beauty of the community. But, we're calling for a restoration of civility and reason in the enforcement of rules that are not codified by the Villas bylaws or County, State, or Federal law. Multiple families have been asked to cease throwing a small ball in the pool because it breaks the no "ball play" rule. The lifeguard has been asked to focus on strict enforcement of rules--even when safety is not a concern. Residents are being reported to the Board for all infractions--even if they are alone in the pool and not causing harm. Pool rules and conduct of the lifeguard should be focused on protecting the health and safety of residents, allowing broad enjoyment of the facility, and protecting the facility from damage. We ask the Board to urgently implement reasonable enforcement of current rules and cease threatening residents for offenses that do not cause harm. Right now it is the overly strict enforcement of pool rules rather than breaking of said pool rules that is causing discord within the community. VHP Board, please take immediate action to restore normalcy to pool use oversight and cease punitive actions against residents enjoying the pool and pool area in ways that do not adversely affect others.

The current caretaker of the grounds at Priest River Cemetery is throwing away items families have placed on their loved ones' grave sites. Today a picture was taken and posted on Facebook that showed a HUGE pile of flowers (many still fresh), toy cars, shepherd hooks, and other personal items the caretaker of the cemetery removed to throw away so he had better access to mow the grass.

As we eagerly anticipate receiving our first paycheck including hard-earned 3 percent raises, UC Merced officials unveiled plans to raise employee parking fees at the main campus and to institute parking fees at the downtown campus. To add insult to injury, UC Merced administration failed to notify our Union, Teamsters Local 2010, of their intent to raise parking fees and negotiate how this change will affect workers. The planned parking fee increases are exorbitant and do not comply with our Union contracts. We have filed multiple grievances on this issue, but Administration has expressed that they still intend to increase parking rates. Therefore, our Teamsters 2010 representatives have submitted a cease and desist letter demanding that UC Merced stop the parking increases until they meet with our Union. With low wages and increasing fees, university employees are at risk of not being able to afford to come to work. This must end! UCM cannot continue to be a catalyst for poverty. We demand an end to increased parking fees and that UC Merced administration complies with the clerical and skilled trades contracts, which limit the parking rate increases.

Despite having the opportunity to fight bigotry and violence at its recent Annual General Meeting, Mastercard has refused to stop working with far right and hate groups like the League of the South, National Policy Institute, Proud Boys, Stormfront, VDare, Identity Evropa, Occidental Dissent, and Radix Journal. These days starting a white supremacist or hate group is as easy as launching any online business. The tech platforms that have enabled so many of us to open up websites and begin selling products and services allow hate groups and extremists to thrive equally within the same ecosystem. These groups have managed to co-opt social media, ecommerce and fintech platforms to financially support criminal activities, including violence and harassment. From donation platforms to online stores, major tech companies are operating at a level of scale that they do not know who their customers are before they grant them access to Mastercard payments. It’s time for Mastercard to face the fact that until they investigate, the company will not know the scope of abuse taking place in their network.

Fraudulent property posts on Craigslist effect homeowners, renters and buyers looking for new homes, real estate agents, and sometimes even neighbors or other businesses. Fraudulent posts take a photo and some information from a real property and advertise them as something they are not. Example: A home that is for sale is being advertised on craigslist for rent. When this add is responded to people are being told to drive over to the property and knock on the door. How does this affect each party? HOMEOWNERS: This causes the homeowner to be uncomfortable in their own home not knowing if they should open the door. The homeowner also now has to deal with being harassed by people in their driveways and knocking on their door at any time of day/night. RENTERS/BUYERS: Instead of finding real information, these people looking for a new place to live are mislead - are influenced to drive around wasting their time and money. Renters/buyers are now left with an uncomfortable feeling after knocking on a door that they were not meant to. This puts renters/buyers in an awkward situation at the door as well as having their time wasted and their search for a new home prolonged. REAL ESTATE AGENTS: This affects agents in many ways, they now have to spend ample amounts of time trying to have fraudulent posts removed. They need to make their clients aware that people may knock on their door which can be an awkward situation and could potentially even lose them their listing costing them time and money. Agents need to change their advertising and sometimes, even spend more time and money creating new advertisements so that the renters/buyers who were unknowingly steered in the wrong direction do not knock on the homeowners' doors. OTHER BUSINESSES/NEIGHBORS: This can affect other businesses/neighbors as well. Many of the responses from these fraudulent posts tell the unsuspecting renters/buyers to park at a neighbors house or a business next door. This now interferes with the other business/neighbors property, they now have to deal with unknowing loitering. OTHER EFFECTS: This can also be a matter of personal safety for renters/buyers looking for a new property. Some vacant homes for sale can be posted on craigslist for rent. The response from this fraudulent post can sometimes be telling the renter/buyer to show up to the property, that the property is unlocked or telling them where to find a key. This can be very dangerous to renters/buyers as they can show up to a vacant property and can be harmed or kidnapped (this is a theory as well have heard stories, we have no direct evidence of this example). Please help to remove all PROPERTY posts from craigslist for the safety, well being, and peace of mind for all parties who are involved.

Happy Pride Month! Help me, a newly single person, to stand up for the transgender community by including us in the online dating jungle. The dating app, Match.com, is repping a rainbow flag for LGBTQ pride month on LinkedIn. However, their product does not reflect all genders in the gender selections. Let’s request more gender selections on Match.com.

I am from the heart of tornado alley, from a town where many cannot afford the cost of a cable subscription. The ability to access local news channels on Hulu Live from any device would mean people could access live weather coverage wherever they were, including from underground storm shelters. It would save lives.

The reason for starting this petition is to stop Facebook from banning accounts because of their names. I find it most suitable to be given a warning or banning someone for posting inappropriate content or harassing other people. This would only work if that person was being reported too many times. Facebook is for fun, but the banning of accounts is making it harder for a lot of people to stay on this app. If the banning continues, people will switch to other apps that are in competition such as Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat.

I started this petition because Facebook was a willing channel for political misinformation campaigns traced back to the Russian Government that help undermine the 2016 US Presidential Election, and they are continuing with this manipulated video of Nancy Pelosi. Tell Facebook to stop hurting our country and take political misinformation off its site.
