Public and Private Schools Must Require Masks and Proof of VaccinationStudent and teacher mask mandates are proven effective at minimizing the transmission of COVID-19. However, mask enforcement is difficult, and students and teachers remove masks when eating and drinking throughout the school day. Therefore, the mask mandate must be supplemented by COVID-19 vaccination among those teachers, students, and visitors eligible to receive the vaccination. This mandate should extend to COVID-19 booster eligibility. Proof of vaccination must be enforced and should not be self-reported. If proof of vaccination and a mask mandate are not implemented, not only will students, teachers, and their families experience needless deaths and disabilities, but our courts will also become clogged with families litigating against school districts over their alleged negligence during this time. Juries will not be forgiving to negligent school districts, and taxpayers will pay compensation to victims and victim families. Implementing a proof of vaccination check is far less costly than years of litigation resulting from unnecessary and preventable death and disability. Prevent needless death and disability by implementing best practices already being implemented by other organizations in Washington State, including Google, Microsoft, the University of Washington, Washington State University, the Seattle Theatre Group, and others.70 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Guy

STOP THE CALIFORNIA RECALLWe don’t have the luxury of hanging up on reality. There is so much at stake: Healthcare, poverty, racial equity, public safety, housing, social programs — the list goes on. We cannot let the Conservative party win and implement policies that sow hate and division and take away what we have worked so hard for. The party that embraces Trump and all that he stands for — xenophobia, racism, classism, white supremacy, extremism, snd so much more. Their top candidate is a Trump Republican who will unravel all that is good in our State, including the progress that we have made. The struggle for equity and dismantling of hate will be under attack. If you still aren’t feeling the pressure — remember that the power of a governor is immense. Imagine meaningful legislation that we have advocated for never being signed into law. Our hands will be tied. The poll results are in and show that if we don’t show up to vote, the recall will 100% happen. If you do nothing else in this stressful year, please make it voting and reaching out to others to VOTE NO on the recall. Please contact the author of this petition for details on how to GET INVOLVED and SPRED THE WORD. And vote. Vote. VOTE.

Save children and teachers lives, start 2021 classes onlineThe medical community has concluded that SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the community is correlated with the amount of infections in schools. When community rates of COVID-19 are high, there is an increased likelihood that SARS-CoV-2 will be introduced to, and potentially transmitted within, a school setting. Please sign our petition to keep our teachers and children safe from the pandemic.42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rohit Rastogi

Mask Up Palm Beach County School KidsThis is so key to keeping our children safe in the schools this coming year and in the future due to the fact that the delta variant is raging the country at a rapid rate and masks keep us safe. As a parent of two wonderful children, I want to keep them safe and I would do anything, and many other parents would do the same. Keeping our kids safe is so key because they are the future of this very world. Please contact your friends and family that live in Palm Beach County and encourage them to support our petition. Also, while we were doing our petition, we saw that a school in Atlanta that was only one week into school had 100 kids in isolation, and 9 COVID-19 cases, with 8th & 6th grade classes going virtual for the time being, this is why masks are needed due to the fact that children are in school for 6-8 hours per day. It would be very negligent to not have masks in schools because children are there for a very long time and they would make the spread of COVID-19 easier. It is only going to get worse, last year schools only had about 50% of their students in-person, now with 100%, it will only make a potential outbreak worse, our children depend on us and the schools to keep them safe and we cannot let them down.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert D'Antoni

Restore Press Freedom!Today the entire mainstream media is owned by only FIVE corporations, all of which are run by people who are invested in weapons and war. The result is a media that always starts with a pro-interventionist position and is staffed by former intelligence officials and generals that protect the government narrative instead of the truth. Additionally, it is extremely rare for mainstream media outlets to have on opposing viewpoints, especially from the left, to have debates and discussions. We need a return to fairness, truth and civil debate.183 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jason Kishineff

Implement Teaching About Consent and Sexual Violence In The Education SystemSpreading awareness about sexual violence and teaching children about consent from a young age is important because it is simply not talked about enough. As stated before, 75% of people become a victim before the young age of 18. Many do not realize what has happened to them until years later because the topic is never discussed and is treated as taboo.1,169 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Khalese Ariyun

Congress: Make school buses electric!Did you know that tens of millions of kids breathe polluted air every day on their way to school? It’s true – and it’s because their school buses run highly-polluting diesel fuel. And we know air pollution can cause major health problems for children! Now, a new bill has been introduced in Congress that would replace these dirty diesel buses with clean electric buses. If passed, it would help protect kids from air pollution AND help fight climate change. The Clean School Bus Act would make major investments in replacing the nation’s fleet of diesel school buses with zero-emission electric buses. Even better, it would prioritize low-income school districts for funding.300 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Josh Nelson

Stop the disproportionate punishment of Black girls in schoolsBlack girls are suspended from school SIX TIMES more often than white girls. It’s deeply unfair. Now, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley is fighting back with a new bill that seeks to end the disproportionate punishment of girls of color in schools. Rep. Pressley’s Ending PUSHOUT Act would provide extra funding to schools that ban unfair and discriminatory school discipline practices, and create a task force to study the problem. It’s a huge step toward ensuring that our schools are safe and fair learning environments for ALL kids. As Rep. Pressley said when she introduced the bill, “our schools should be spaces for learning and growth, but for far too many Black and brown girls, interactions with racist dress code policies and law enforcement in our schools define their experience.”287 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Josh Nelson
