¿Por qué es importante? Nuestra situación actual en 2026 Nuestro contrato de arrendamiento anterior venció en septiembre de 2026. La Mesa Directiva de Westwood Unidos se encuentra en negociaciones con Re:Vision para permanecer en La Casita. Sin embargo, Re:Vision únicamente ha ofrecido nuevos acuerdos que no incluyen la posibilidad de renovar el contrato después de diciembre de 2026. La Mesa Directiva y el personal de Westwood Unidos han sostenido reuniones informales con residentes y organizaciones colaboradoras, además de organizar una sesión comunitaria con las personas que utilizan La Casita. A través de estas conversaciones, hemos escuchado una demanda clara y contundente de la comunidad: que Westwood Unidos continúe administrando y operando La Casita en su ubicación actual, más allá de los próximos meses. Sabemos que La Casita no es simplemente un edificio. Es un espacio fundamental para la comunidad, que ofrece oportunidades para mejorar la salud, promover el bienestar, realizar actividades físicas, fomentar una buena alimentación y fortalecer los vínculos comunitarios. Con alrededor de 100 clases al mes, estos programas cuentan constantemente con una alta participación y responden directamente a las prioridades y necesidades de la comunidad de Westwood. Este trabajo también está directamente alineado con la misión declarada de Re:Vision, que busca colaborar con comunidades históricamente afectadas por las desigualdades sociales para desarrollar líderes comunitarios, fortalecer los sistemas alimentarios locales y crear una economía que pertenezca a la propia comunidad. Retirar a Westwood Unidos de La Casita sin llevar a cabo un proceso de negociación de buena fe interrumpiría servicios y oportunidades esenciales de los que dependen nuestras comunidades. La Casita es un espacio seguro y de confianza donde las personas pueden establecer relaciones, aprender y compartir habilidades, y fortalecer su salud y bienestar. La comunidad ha reiterado que los servicios que ofrecemos a través de La Casita no pueden reemplazarse ni trasladarse fácilmente a otro lugar sin causar consecuencias significativas y perjudiciales para las personas que participan en nuestros programas. ¡Apoya a Westwood Unidos para que La Casita continúe sirviendo a la comunidad de Westwood durante 2027 y los años siguientes! Where we are at in 2026: Our previous lease agreement expired September 2026. Westwood Unidos' board is negotiating with Re:Vision to stay in La Casita, but Re:Vision has only offered new agreements with no option to renew after December 2026. Westwood Unidos board and staff have had informal meetings with community members and partners, and hosted a community session with La Casita users, and have heard a resounding demand to keep Westwood Unidos in operation of La Casita at its current location beyond the next few months.  We know that La Casita is not simply a building – it is a community anchor that provides opportunities for health, wellness, movement, nutrition, and community-building. With approximately 100 classes per month, these programs are consistently well-attended and directly reflect the priorities of the Westwood community. This work also directly aligns with Re:Vision’s stated mission to work with communities historically impacted by social inequities to develop resident leaders, cultivate community food systems, and create an economy owned by the community. Removing Westwood Unidos from La Casita without good-faith negotiation process would disrupt services and opportunities that our communities rely on as a safe, trusted space to build relationships, learn and share skills, and strengthen health and well-being. The community has reiterated that the services that we provide through La Casita cannot be easily replaced or relocated without significant harm to program participants.

Hi!  I'm sure that if you're reading this petition, you are also offended and put off by the constant use of AI by the admin and teachers of our school. By signing this petition, you could help stop this constant usage of AI within our supposedly anti-AI school. Its extremely hypocritical of our teachers and admin to constantly discourage us students from using AI (for good reason) and then go ahead and us it themselves to advertise our class houses, our school events, and our school in general rather than support the student body and get students to volunteer to make the advertisements themselves. Its also extremely strange that a lot of our teachers have anti-AI posters in their classrooms directly next to a very obviously AI generated "art-piece". All of these examples show the hypocrisy of their statements and show us that they don't actually care about us nor the AI issue that is plaguing schools across the world right now. Thank you, and please sign this petition to help stop the AI usage within our school -Concerned ERA student 

We as a community need to hold the administration and educators of the School District of Menomonie Area accountable. We need to demand transparency, corrective action, and implementation of mental health and bullying education with face to face assemblies, educator to student classes, and more effective responses to reports of bullying and/or harassment. A link on the district website should no longer be a sufficient response from the district. Our students should not fear going to their place of education, they should not fear their peers, and they should not fear reaching out for help when they need it the most. Most importantly, our students should not feel the need to take their life due to the bullying of other students. 

Students are constantly being criticized and called out in front of the whole class by our teachers, over something they cannot control. The only way a student can feel safe within norths walls is by being understood by our educators.  Signing this petition proves that this policy needs to be changed for the betterment of the north community and the safety of the students. ———————————————————— As much as we appreciate support from students outside of north high school we would greatly appreciate it if we only got signatures from North high school students! If you go to a school where there is a similar policy I would love to help you set up a petition! Please email me!

This is important because the arts are a fundamental for children and teens. By handing the work to a machine, our creativity and even brain usage begins lowering (https://time.com/7295195/ai-chatgpt-google-learning-school/). Why is a school encouraging this behavior? When you ditch humans, you ditch intelligence, and students shouldn't be exposed to that. We shouldn't discourage our young artists from participating, and by removing AI, you give people a chance to grow. 

This policy affects every student’s ability to learn comfortably and efficiently. By signing this petition, you can make sure student concerns about privacy, accessibility, lost instructional time, and safety are heard by the people making these decisions. This not a petition against school safety; it is a petition for a policy that protects while also respecting students privacy and needs. The more students and parents who respectfully speak up, the stronger our message becomes and the more likely it is that our administration will seriously consider a better solution.

With the removal of the GSA, the reasons given were often “prevention against political indoctrination”. This was already an attack on queer peoples identities as no one should be deemed as political for a simple characteristic. However, the formation of a Right-Leaning organization powered by Turning Point USA which in itself is a right-leaning organization, is directly against the given reasons for absolving and banning a GSA. Straight from an official turning point site (1), one of their main goals is to “win the American Culture War by instilling a love for conservatism, faith, family, and America in the hearts of the youth.” This Culture War that they reference is now being placed into High Schools and putting the students directly into the battle. This allowance of a club directly powered by TPUSA is a reflection of the administrators of Hebron High School that they are allowing their students to be placed into the line of fire. To add onto the placement of Hebron Students into political war I think it is only right to mention their now passed founder, Charlie Kirk, who they still hold highly and strive to keep his legacy alive. His views on queer and non-white people were harmful, and can be seen as an attack on students. As the removal of the GSA is still prevalent, we will look at his views on Queer individuals. I will link an article I found in the footnotes but here are a few examples (2). To any administrators reading, is this what you want queer students to think you agree with and allow to be said on campus? . August 25th, 2025, he says that anyone convicted of a hate crime for destroying a pride flag should be released, additionally stating that it should be legal to burn a Pride Flag and BLM flag. . March 3rd, 2025, when at a conference he is asked for his opinion on queer people and although he states, “What you do in the bedroom does not matter” he then follows it up with, “I don’t agree with that lifestyle.” . October 28th, 2024, Kirk wears a T-shirt saying “XY = Man”, meant to invalidate Trans peoples experiences. . June 8, 2024, Charlie Kirk akin being queer to an “error”, saying it is alike to alcoholism and drug dependency and that you should not affirm queer people in their “struggle against god” Whether Club America is removed or an opposing political club is adopted into Hebron, it will provide a layer of safety for many kids who feel attacked by this movement of right-leaning organizations into school grounds following the removal of a safe space such as a GSA. Especially after Mr. T received death threats and a large amount of pressure from Right Leaning Individuals, such as our current Texan governor Greg Abott, many queer and non-white students have felt unsafe and unaccepted in Hebron’s halls. I can attest to that fact, as I was one of them. This action will create a safe environment and help remove Hebron Students from the frontline of the culture war Club America has placed them in. We ask that the removal of Club America is considered heavily before any clubs are added on top, as ending the political encroachment would be better for the health of the students at Hebron.

Students deserve a school environment where political expression is treated fairly and no single viewpoint is given an advantage. We are not asking to silence anyone—we are asking for equal opportunity, representation, and freedom of expression. By joining this campaign, you are standing up for a school where students can hear different perspectives rather than being presented with only one.

This cause is a direct response to the Texas State Board of Education’s (SBOE) controversial decision to approve the "Bluebonnet Learning" curriculum for elementary and middle school reading classes.  This state-backed policy integrates specific Bible stories, verses, and Christian theological narratives into mandatory K-8 public education across Texas. Scheduled to phase into classrooms, this curriculum impacts over 5 million public school students and attempts to institutionalize religious teaching under the guise of basic literacy education. Public schools must remain strictly dedicated to academic excellence, reason, science, and empirical evidence. Using public infrastructure and taxpayer dollars to introduce supernatural religious mythologies into the classroom is a direct violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which demands a total wall of separation between church and state. Religious instruction belongs entirely within the private sphere of families and faith communities, not inside state-funded institutions where children are a captive audience. Furthermore, the state's implementation strategy includes financial coercion, offering school districts additional funding per student if they agree to adopt these Bible-infused materials. This creates systemic pressure on local boards to sacrifice secular neutrality for financial survival. This cause represents atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, and freethinkers across Texas who demand that education remain entirely secular and free from religious indoctrination. We are fighting to protect vulnerable children from government-sponsored religious coercion, to preserve the constitutional integrity of our public schools, and to pressure both state officials and local school boards to completely reject this curriculum in favor of rational, evidence-based education.

Children with special needs—specifically those who are autistic, nonverbal, or have significant developmental and physical delays—face a disproportionately high risk of mistreatment, neglect, or abuse. Because many of these children lack the verbal capacity or communication skills to advocate for themselves, report incidents, or articulate their daily experiences to parents and guardians, traditional reporting mechanisms are entirely insufficient.
