Restore Funding for United Medical CenterWards 7 and 8 residents deserve better than this. United Medical Center is the only Hospital East of River and removing any funds from the Hospital will lead to fatal outcomes for residents in Wards 7 and 8. The DC Council must act immediately to restore the $40 million to UMC to avoid removing access to healthcare for Ward 7 and 8 residents.643 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Walakewon M Blegay

Get Equal Funding for Education NowI am starting this petition because although I was lucky enough to have a great education, it is extremely unfair that others cannot be as fortunate as I was. Education is an essential opportunity and each and every person should have the same privilege as I have. I plan to be a teacher and I want all of my students to have the opportunity and resources to be great.53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jessica Mosconi

UP: Step Up Your Food GameThis petition is to show the university that students eating on campus don't have healthy and diverse options to keep themselves healthy and satisfied. This needs to change as students are buying meal plans and aren't using them because they resort to going off campus for better food, which then causes a loss of money in meal-point since we can't get that money back.148 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Megan Duff

Dr. Serie McDougal for chair of Africana Studies!Let’s Aim For Beyond 50 And Get As Many Signatures As We Can! Dr. McDougal has always exhibited care and concern for his students. We've seen this from his time as the director of the Black Unity Center where he often spent his own money to ensure that his students had fruitful experiences. He has conducted and published research on Black student success and engagement within the institution and is more than qualified to serve them along with faculty. By supporting the election of Dr. McDougal, you are supporting the right of faculty to proceed with electoral processes of the department. Dr. McDougal has a history of fairly and efficiently managing the department and now has the opportunity to rescue it from mismanagement.113 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Anonymous

Change A.P.R's uniform policyThe student body feels as if the current uniform policy does not allow us to properly express our true selves. The student body also believes that the current uniform policy is too constricting and does not allow students to have any freedom on their options. At the end of the day, teachers have to lose valuable classroom time in order to deal with uniform violations. The constant loss of time causes students to be distracted during the rest of the class. The change of uniform will make life much easier for students and teachers next year.115 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Deric Fernandez

Commissioner Elia: Fiscal Oversight Authority Needed in The Hempstead School DistrictAs a taxpayer of Hempstead, I am tired of paying high school taxes for a failing school district. The Hempstead School District has been failing its students for decades...a 37% graduation is malfeasance. This is due to fiscal mismanagement, and lack of accountability. Let's stop this cycle of failure. Our children deserve better!13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gwen Jackson

Accept the Hialeah High School girls water polo team’s appeal to disallow the 9th goal in the Reg...My teammates and I expected a just game, certainly our opponents from RE as well. Although we understand that referees can err, the evidence of the video shows that this mistake cost Hialeah the game and the path to the state championship. Sportsmanship and fairness should be exercised in all aspects of the game. Winning or losing a water polo game should be based on the team’s athletic abilities. The rules of the sport should be applied correctly. This situation must be resolved before May 10th., the date of the State Semifinals Championship.418 of 500 SignaturesCreated by jeannet Garcia

Janet Napolitano – A lifelong career of abusing immigrants, workers, women, and tax payers.First, she partnered with human rights abuser Joe Arpaio as Governor of Arizona. Then as Secretary of Homeland Security, she built the deportation machine that Trump is now using to separate families from their children. Now as President of the University of California, she has allowed her negotiators to bargain in bad faith for two years with UC’s largest unions, leading to a series of disruptive strikes. She is continuing rather than reversing the trend of rising gender, income, and racial inequality and privatization at UC. She has overseen an increase in outsourcing of jobs to private interests with links to UC executives and an ongoing attack on working standards. She is sacrificing the world-class education, research, and healthcare at the UC by putting the interest of UC executives and their partners in private industry – some of whom make more than $1 million annually – over those of front-line workers. Enough is enough! The University of California is a public institution, not a slush fund for UC executives and regents447 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Miguel Santiago

Spanish for the BPA KindergartenMy daughter is a current Pre-k student zoned for Burgess-Peterson Academy Elementary. Currently, only students 1-5 receive Spanish as a "special". Research has shown that the earlier the exposure to a language helps to improve cognitive abilities and overall language retention. Our children should be able to have access to this wealth of knowledge housed at BPA.37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amberly Toole

We say NO to Industry City's Rezoning of Sunset ParkSunset Park has the largest, working-class industrial waterfront in Brooklyn, but Industry City wants to turn it into a playground for the rich. Industry City wants to change current zoning to build large chain retail stores and luxury hotels, which may lead to luxury housing. We must protect long-time residents, workers, and small, locally-owned businesses from rising rents and displacement. This is our neighborhood. We should be deciding the future of our waterfront and neighborhood, not private developers like Industry City. Sunset Park tiene la costa de agua industrial más grande. La comunidad de Sunset Park cuenta con una población de personas mayormente de clase obrera y bajo ingreso en Brooklyn. Descaradamente los patrones de Industry City quieren destruir nuestra comunidad, y convertirlo en un patio de recreo para los ricos. Mediante el mecanismo de rezonificación ellos desean cambiar la zonificación actual para construir grandes cadenas de tiendas minoristas y hoteles de lujo, lo que puede llevar a viviendas de lujo. Debemos proteger a los residentes, trabajadores y pequeñas empresas de propiedad local desde hace mucho tiempo del aumento de alquileres y desplazamientos. Este es nuestro barrio. Deberíamos decidir el futuro de nuestra línea de costa y vecindario, no de desarrolladores privados como Industry City.
