BLACK VOTES MATTER: “Make Juneteenth a Federal Holidays!”You might be asking, “How can making these two dates federal holidays improve our situation?” You also might be asking, “How do we seem to be taking steps back to “Da Crow”?” You must fight for freedom yes, but use your power wisely. Do it through love and collaboration. We have to do things decently and in order and remember, a divided house will fall from infighting! Instead of risking Covid-19 infection, continue to mitigate exposure as much as possible to protect vulnerable people. But to really get something done. We need it in writing and we need it in the law. IF YOU WOULD MARCH IN THE STREET, SIGN THIS PETITION! Once we get 150,000 signatures we will submit transparent plans to raise funding to cover the administrative costs involved. This virus will devastate the same populations in our already risky environments. The disproportionality in the death toll skews overwhelmingly towards the black and brown communities. DO NOT BE A MOTH to the FLAME. Be STILL, and sign this petition. Juneteenth June-teenth celebrates the final freeing of slaves in Texas. It was on June 19, 1865, that slaves in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free—although they had been freed two years earlier in 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This is a prime example of progress for everyone does not always mean progress for people of color, especially black Americans. The only way to level the playing field is to vote and be able to do it freely! Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Cel-Liberation Day or the Black Fourth of July, is an American holiday that commemorates June 19, 1865. On this day, after almost two and half years since the implementation of the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved African Americans were informed of their liberation. More Info: The Mascogos (also known as negros mascagos ) are an Afro-descendant group in Coahuila , Mexico. Centered on the town of El Nacimiento in Múzquiz Municipality , the group are descendants of Black Seminoles escaping the threat of slavery in the United States. • Also called: Freedom Day or Emancipation Day • Observances: Exploration and celebration of African-American history and heritage • Next time: June 19, 2020 • Observed by: Residents of the United States, especially African Americans, Mascogos • Significance: Emancipation of the last remaining enslaved African Americans in the Confederacy The Pen is Mightier than the Sword!620 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Ian Herron

Reassign Ms. Perdomo as the 2019-2020 students’ 1st grade teacherBecause their year was cut short due to COVID19, we feel, given the circumstances, that she is ideally prepared to continue the curriculum where the students left off. She created a bond with our students which was cut short and we feel it would benefit them and their education to start fresh with a familiar face and with someone who is aware of their strengths and weaknesses as students. Our children, at such a young age, were unfortunately forced to adapt and learn in a different setting- separated from their friends, the school staff and the teacher whom they all love so much. We feel we owe it to them to give them another chance to learn and grow with Ms. Perdomo and their classmates the right way. Ms. Perdomo has been a beacon of light for us parents and has made this difficult transition into distance learning a smooth-sailing process. We hope we can continue the journey of education with her, even if it is for just one school year.83 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Arielys Garcia

Fire President Jerry Falwell, Jr. From Liberty University1. Liberty University will remain complicit in the racism of Jerry Falwell, Jr. If they allow him to remain President of Liberty University 2. The black face and KKK Twitter picture and comment Jerry Falwell, Jr. posted weaponized the deep seeded heritage of racism as a political ploy for his own personal gain! 3. Furthermore, advertising and selling the masks with the Governor of Virginia's high school photo wearing black face next to a KKK member profits off of the racial injustice faced by African-Americans and defames the name of Christ for which the university is to represent! FALWELL MUST GO!189 of 200 SignaturesCreated by True Christians

Plastic Free Packaging Option on All Amazon OrdersDuring the Covid 19 pandemic the amount of plastic being used worldwide has increased significantly. The amount of plastic used in Amazon delivery envelopes and packaging is limitless. If Amazon makes this change it will set an example that will have immense impacts. As Bezos is propelled toward being Earth's first trillionaire, he, and his company, can give back to Earth by stopping unnecessary plastic use.460 of 500 SignaturesCreated by John Lyman

National No Confidence Vote on Donald Trump and His AdministrationThis action is important for so many reasons, such as Mr. Trump and his administration’s: 1) racist and violent rhetoric; 2) dangerous refusal to sufficiently handle the current COVID-19 pandemic and its numerous associated issues; 3) shameful detention of immigrants and their families; 4) purposeful raiding of taxpayer funds to benefit the richest segment of US citizens; 5) flagrant unethical and unlawful behaviors; and 6) other issues too numerous to mention. - - - We must make our disapproval unequivocal. Please lend your voice to this political action. - - - “There is a power that can be created out of pent-up indignation, courage, and the inspiration of a common cause, and that if enough people put their minds and bodies into that cause, they can win. It is a phenomenon recorded again and against in the history of popular movements against injustice all over the world.” ― Howard Zinn, You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train: A Personal History of Our Times462 of 500 SignaturesCreated by No Confidence
