BACKGROUND (1/17/23) A dangerous bill that will force West Virginia's public colleges and universities to allow people as young as 18 years old to carry loaded, hidden guns on campus. The Senate Judiciary will take up SB 10 on January 18th and must be stopped. Please tell WVU President, Gordon Gee to publicly oppose this legislation. Sign now urging President Gee to take a public stance in opposition to HB 2519 (guns on campus). Time is running out - the legislature will adjourn on March 9th. Thank you.

We say, Renovate - Don't Desecrate! Please sign the petition! Stop the Demolition! Restore the existing terrazzo. Expand Harvey Milk Plaza into the streets... (CASTRO/MARKET) Protect the ONLY MUNI station that has open space & mature landscaping! Save Harvey’s Gardens Grove! This petition was created by concerned neighbors and community members in the late winter of '17-'18 as an aspect of the Twin Parklets initiative.We submitted 2 parklet applications to government and nonprofit stakeholders (Public Works and SF Parks Alliance) in early March 2018. UPDATE: PRE_COVID, we have collected over 1500 'wet' signatures that included actual conversations with neighbors, workers, visitors and merchants. We want a green, sustainable and beautiful solution to an important and efficient transit hub that has suffered from urban strains, yet is structurally sound. This site already educates and inspires visitors from far and wide. The neighborhood character will be impacted by the of the demolishing of this built environment.

These live mature oaks (Mother Trees) support the Space Coast Marathon, runners, bikers, walkers, and has provided shade that lower energy costs and reduces ground temperatures by at least 10%. They have provided beauty along the Indian River Lagoon for hundreds of years without any issues to those who have visited. The leaves of an oak tree absorb airborne pollutants. One tree can absorb up to 10 lbs. of air pollution in a single year. They stabilize the soil preventing erosion. We wish for them to remain standing for future generations to enjoy and our environment to be better for them. Thank you so very much.

UPDATE: This Petition was started a few years ago after a fatal accident on Highway M in Barnhart, Missouri. That particular accident involved a mother of a student killed after dropping her son off for the day. At that time, the petition was setup, news channels were contacted and many communications were had over the following months with MoDot official, Judy Wagner. The request was submitted to Install traffic lights at Hwy M /St Lukes Church Rd and Hwy M / Moss Hollow Road AND DENIED AT THE TIME WITH MANY REASONS WHY THEY WOULD NOT DO THIS, the main reason given was that the install of traffic lights would cost too much at around $1 million. NOW THE J-TURN project is estimated to cost $1 million. Also stated that stop lights do not work. ROCKPORT School has a stoplight in front of their school as do many other emergency houses in the area that just have flashing lights during the day and become operational during PRIME HOURS needed such as morning and evening rush hours for school and those leaving for and coming home from work. The emergency houses would also have access to have the lights operate when they are in need to leave for emergencies. There are First Responder Houses (Antonia Fire Protection District and Rock Township Ambulance District House 4) as well as Antonia Middle School at those intersections. This results in a large number of school buses and families with children being forced to pull out onto Hwy M, crossing multiple lanes of traffic. These intersections absent of traffic lights with the factor of high speeds by drivers has proven to be hazardous AND CONTINUES TO BE HAZARDOUS TWO YEARS LATER WITH NO CHANGES BY LEGISLATURE AND MODOT. The amount of accidents due to high-speed and excessive traffic on Hwy M is becoming more frequent at both of these intersections, resulting in fatalities and injuries. First Responders were involved while attempting to respond to a call, resulting in injuries and delay for those needing the fire department. There are a number of families in both of these areas that send their children on school buses that are given no other option than to merge across a four-lane highway to transport the children to and from school. At Moss Hollow and Highway M, the traffic coming and going has increased now that the new Estates at Moss Hollow is complete and close to 100 new families moved into the area. (ADDING MINIMUM 100 NEW DRIVERS DAILY). There are MANY kids approaching the driving age so new drivers will be embarking on those intersections as well. Let's take safety into consideration and push Jefferson County to install traffic lights and NOT the proposed J turns AT BOTH INTERSECTIONS for the residents of Barnhart AND SLOW DOWN THE SPEED LIMIT IN A SCHOOL ZONE. As of June 2019 I was informed by Judy Wagner that the proposed construction review was being added to the “ Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan for review.” She informed me that in December 2019 they had met with families in Williamsburg to address this issue and I wa stood other affected subdivisions, including Fountains would be contacted in Spring 2020 to have community forum... I can only assume due to COVID that didn’t happen. CONSIDERATION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN FOR ADDITIONAL RESIDENTS AT MOSS HOLLOW AND THE CONTINUED POSSIBILITY OF GROWTH ON THE ANTONIA CAMPUS, FUTURE ADDITION OF NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, INCREASING TRAFFIC ON ST LUKES CHURCH ROAD SIGNIFICANTLY SO THIS WARRANTS MAKING CHANGES TO INTERSECTIONS AND LOWERING SPEEDS ALONG HIGHWAY M FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE AND OUR CHILDREN. J turns will greatly affect emergency crews, residents and school bus transportation. THIS PETITION WILL ONCE AGAIN BE SHARED WHEN SIGNED AFTER A FEW WEEKS IN HOPES OF EXPRESSING CONCERN AS A COMMUNITY AND GETTING SOMETHING DONE SOONER THAN TWO YEARS FROM NOW. I HAVE UPDATED TO INCLUDE NEW MODOT AND COMMITTEE CONTACTS.

From gun violence to universal healthcare, no field of endeavor or conflict in this country is untouched by the legacy of racism manifest by our American destiny. Despite scholarly and established work to the contrary, CDC cries "No evidence-based best practices to address it" as an excuse not to do their job, so the people must demand it. I have seen the stress of loss of privilege, the minute daily drips of intangible "microaggressions" and the gaping wounds of bullets; I took an oath and DO NO HARM is not enough. We're also on Twitter and would ask folks to tweet Trevor Noah and other prominent folks who "have the mic"! @Right2healthNow

The toxic circumstances of WORKPLACE/ACADEMIC BULLY has been well known for years. But progress for change has been excruciatingly slow primarily because of elected, civic and business powers that be. Elected officials in Albany should know that the time for change WAS YESTERDAY. Please support the petition and encourages others to sign.

Yes, it is about preserving in the wild these magnificent animals who are in fact returned natives here in North America and contribute positively to the ecosystems they inhabit when not subject to the unjust and dishonest "squeeze plays" of corrupt officials & disrespectful officials. They are also very important preventers of catastrophic wildfires. This is about obeying the law and the will of the general public concerning this crucially important Quality of Life issue here in America.

The AVID program is essential for a full academic career. It prepares and stimulates students to achieve a higher degree of appreciation for education. This program is essential for many reasons. First, AVID prepares high school students for college by removing uncertainty and confusion around colleges by informing students what they need to be prepared for college. The second reason why AVID should be retained is the uncertainty of why AVID is being removed.  While certain classes and teachers are being deleted, removing this class makes no sense. Third, there is an abundance of students taking this course and the teacher, Ms. Houston is great. Finally, middle school students would no longer going to be able to continue this course in high school. This further makes the removal of AVID confusing. AVID is a great social period. Not only are students able to learn but also establish vital social skills that students will need and use later in life. All in all, the AVID program should be continued.

This isn’t just about one student or one outfit—it’s about how our children are treated in their learning environment.  Students, especially young girls, are being singled out, embarrassed, and pulled out of class for wearing clothing that is widely considered normal and appropriate. Instead of focusing on their education, they are being taught that their bodies are a distraction and something to be monitored.  Dress code violations like this can impact confidence, self-esteem, and a student’s sense of belonging at school. It sends the message that how they look matters more than their ability to learn, participate, and grow.    These policies are often vague and inconsistently enforced, which can lead to unfair treatment and unnecessary disciplinary action. No student should lose instructional time or feel ashamed over clothing that is comfortable, functional, and appropriate.    This is about creating a school environment where students feel respected, supported, and focused on what truly matters—their education.    If we don’t speak up, nothing changes. 

By giving Queens Innovation Center a girls volleyball team it would encourage healthy activities like exercising and working out. It would also help the students in engaging in team spirit as well as socializing. Joining a team, specifically a volleyball team (a very team motivated sport) it helps the students create new connections with their peers. Sports, such as volleyball, also contribute to decreasing the sadness in a student's system. Working out and playing sports increases your happiness because it triggers your brain to release chemicals like endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin. These chemicals help lift people's mood, create feelings of calmness, and reduced stress.

The Trump administration's Department of the Interior is forcing the removal or censoring of national parks exhibits that share factually accurate and relevant U.S. history and scientific knowledge. This campaign has escalated in recent weeks. The Trump administration has issued directives to National Park Service staff to remove many exhibits across the country, including ones that discuss the history of slavery and enslaved people, civil rights, the treatment of Indigenous peoples, and climate science. The effects of climate change on our nation's most iconic landscapes and sensitive natural resources are real; simply deleting references to climate science and impacts does not reduce the harm being done. Your help is needed to keep science and history from being removed and censored from America's largest classroom—our national parks! Tell U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum to stop erasing science and history from exhibits within the National Park Service.
