Tell Torrid to take anti-Catholic art off underwearTorrid has put a depiction of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on various underwear and bras. They call the pattern Sacred Heart. These are sacred Catholic symbols for Catholics worldwide. Sacred religious symbols are being treated like an emoji or kitsch. Would they do this to the Star of David? Please sign this petition to urge them to recall these items. This anti-Catholic bigotry.135 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ellen Smith

Bring back the player market on 9innings Pro BaseballCom2Us’s mobile games are essentially ripping players off through overcharging players hundreds of dollars to get better at the mobile game 9InningsPro Baseball. This petition is not to fully stop this product or cause backlash, but to create and allow players to get better at the game with other means than just spending exhausting amounts of money (I.e player trading/market.) these features were in older versions of the game and could be implemented again to allow players to have access to the better players of the game without spending hundreds of dollars. With this petition, we will show our support to a great game that Com2Us created but unite our concerns for this game's cost. Thank you, Kodie D. Egenolf35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kodie Egenolf

Consent Training on Dating AppsConsent is defined as the permission for something to happen or agreement to do something. Consent is very important but unfortunately, there are many people who ignore it. There are many, many people who I personally know, I included, who have their consent taken away from them. This has got to come to an end. Consent training would be a step closer to a better world.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by devayani varma

Stop The East Marion Community AssociationThe East Marion Community Association sponsored a vote to include a number of main road homes into a historic district. This vote was biased because abstaining from the vote was considered a yes. Unfair, because co-owned homes were given a vote per owner, single owners got one vote. The vote was announced AFTER the historic committee had its ducks in a row, knowing that the vote was skewed to a windfall. Only owners who objected to the district had to vote, and to do so required the homeowner to notarize a document proving ownership and location, and then mail the objection to the parks department, all at the owner's expense. Some paperwork from the parks department was sent to addresses other than the actual residences and delivered AFTER all the hearings were completed. A number of residents were unaware that they had to write in a 'no' vote, and some did not receive ANY paperwork. Some residents were under the impression that an actual vote was going to take place in the "COMMUNITY", which did not happen. The committee promoting this historic district was comprised largely of homeowners who rent their home outside the legal 2-week local code. We ask that the "East Marion Community Association'' be dissolved because it has NOT acted on behalf of ALL the residents in this community. We also ask to see the emails and notes of the committee who researched this vote, which has resulted in our homes being registered in a historic district AGAINST our wishes. We collectively ask that "The East Marion Community Association", of East Marion NY 11939, be dissolved at once before they force another, even more unwanted, biased, and unfair special interest agenda on its residents.90 of 100 SignaturesCreated by stop emca

PBS should tell us the truth.On May 7, 2019, after that week’s broadcast of “Frontline” on PBS, the Frontline announcer said that next week’s broadcast would be “One Day in Gaza,” a documentary about a peaceful protest that turned deadly on May 14, 2018. A week later, exactly one year from the date of the protest, Frontline instead rebroadcast a slightly updated version of a documentary about the Mueller investigation. Repeated requests to PBS, Frontline, and a member station to ask why the showing of “One Day in Gaza” was canceled and when it would be broadcast have gone unanswered. Whatever one’s position on Israel and the Palestinians, it is generally understood that organizations that accept taxpayer dollars have a responsibility to be transparent with taxpayers about how their money is being spent. PBS receives taxpayer funding through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. However, concerning the decision to cancel the scheduled broadcast of “One Day in Gaza,” PBS has remained silent, choosing to hide from the public rather than be forthcoming. Which raises the question: PBS, what are you hiding? And why? PBS viewers, members, and the general public deserve an answer.622 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Randy Bernard

Professional AppearanceRecently, 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.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Taylor Kuzma

Expedia STOP discriminating against Seattle Hempfest!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.675 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Nightmare Alabama

Return to Civility & ReasonResidents 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.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Doyle Family

Stop the disrespect of grave sites at Priest River CemeteryThe 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.272 of 300 SignaturesCreated by JoAnna Jordan

UC Merced: Stop Parking Fee Increases!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.24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Aimee Baror
