I care about this neighborhood, it’s not just where I live, it’s part of who I am. I’ve seen so much change over the years, but now it’s starting to feel like the kind of change that pushes people like us out. There’s a plan in the works to bring a Hyatt hotel and private athlete housing to land that used to belong to our community. Remember the Robert Taylor Homes? They tore those down with the promise that they’d rebuild and bring families back. That never happened. Instead, CHA and our City Officials are selling off the land to developers tied to elite tennis programs and political insiders. People with money. People with power. People who don’t live here. And honestly? It hurts. It feels like the city is more interested in making deals than keeping promises. They say it’s “development,” but who is it really for? Not the families who used to live here. Not the students whose schools are now half-empty. Not the kids who need safe places to play, affordable homes, or someone to invest in their futures. There’s this guy Kamau Murray,  he runs XS Tennis. He says he’s doing it for the youth, but if you go by there, it’s all elite players, out-of-town visitors, and not much actual connection to the community. And yet, somehow, he’s the one getting city land. It doesn’t add up. I’m fighting this because I believe our neighborhood deserves better. We deserve homes, not hotels. We deserve to be heard, not sidelined. And I’m asking people to sign a petition, to stand with us, because once this land is gone, it’s gone. And so are the families who could’ve come back. So yeah, this is personal. I’m not just angry, I’m trying to do something about it. Because if we don’t fight for our neighborhoods, who will?

AI companies like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, etc use a ton of electric. They use a disparate amount of electric without shouldering their cost.  This is not a NJ issue but is happening nation-wide.

To residents of Alexander City and surrounding communities affected by water quality from the Adam’s Filter treatment facility: This is an opportunity to make your voice heard at state level. If you feel that something can and needs to be done, please sign this petition. It very well could change so much in our communities and our quality of life. Thank you!

Children in Congo are descending into a cobalt mines daily risking their lives, so that they have a bed to lay in.  There is an estimated 255,000 Congolese citizens working in these mines.   Cobalt is an essential part of our everyday life. It is used in the batteries in our smartphones, laptops, and electric cars, but the convenience of our devices comes at the expense of the wellbeing of others. After copious amounts of research, I believe by advocating for safer mining practices, and an end to the exploitation of miners we can build a future where we don’t have to benefit from the suffering of others.  Join me on this petition to end the unnecessary suffering of thousands at our expense. 

I have created this petition to express my concerns regarding the upcoming planned aerial spraying for mosquitoes in our area. Based on current conditions, it seems unnecessary for the following reasons: 1. Seasonal Decline of Mosquito Population: The worst of the mosquito season appears to have passed, and their numbers are decreasing each day. Additionally, with an anticipated cold snap soon, this natural change in weather will significantly reduce mosquito activity without the need for chemical intervention. 2. Impact on Beneficial Insects and Wildlife: Aerial spraying will not only affect mosquitoes but also harm beneficial insects such as dragonflies, which are natural predators of mosquitoes. Additionally, the spray poses a threat to butterflies emerging from their chrysalis and could disrupt the local ecosystem. 3. Health and Environmental Concerns: While spraying at night may reduce human exposure, it does not eliminate the health risks for people, pets, and wildlife. The chemicals used can have unintended and harmful consequences on the environment and public health. 4. Inefficient Use of Taxpayer Dollars: Large-scale aerial spraying seems like an unnecessary expense, especially when there are more targeted, cost-effective alternatives available. For example, individual yard spraying for residents who request it would be a more focused and environmentally friendly options. Thank you for considering these points. I hope this encourages Brunswick county to explore  more sustainable and less invasive solution to address the mosquito issue.

Too many developers destroy ecosystems when it’s very easy and not costly to preserve green belts.  We rely on plants and healthy ecosystems for clean water, air, and food. Destruction of ecosystems puts stress on the public during inclement weather. It increases the likelihood of flooding and decreases forage for deer and other wildlife.  This was a valuable ecosystem with at least one federally endangered plant species. We will not know what we lost because this was never studied. 

In an effort to protect the water, air, and residents of Marshall County we are seeking further study of the potential impacts of the proposed sand mine. Please consider signing this petition; your support is appreciated.  

Please join the residents of 17th Avenue in saying we are NOT okay in allowing an endless car hoarding situation where we live. Tell the King County Sheriff's office that we NEED their help and want permanent action to resolve this issue.  We are tired of feeling neglected, and the more we can shout that we need help, the better chance we have of seeing this change. We don't deserve to live in someone else's junkyard, we deserve to live in a safe and clean environment, and we demand action.

This means a lot to this community. We are in a fishing community and it’s very beneficial to the younger generations as we have made it a priority to make sure a kid can always fish. 

The citizens of Harrisburg impacted by the seemingly irrational decision to remove all trees through the upcoming city water, sewer, sidewalk project are fed up! Many of your residents only moved to their homes because of the mature trees in a quaint neighborhood. These trees are historic and if you only spoke to some of your residents who still live in their homes and planted the trees themselves, you would know how devastating this is. We understand you have a right to the easements; we understand sidewalks are safer. We do not understand why simply because you have a right to an entire easement, you are choosing to use the entirety of the easement, thereby necessitating the removal of our trees. We hear you would be putting in sidewalks, we came home to the pink ribbons, but many of us did not even receive communication that the trees are planned to be removed! Some of the trees marked for removal are in the middle of yards! We demand answers and pray you can see the impact this is having on those who wish for progress without destroying history. Harrisburg already has lost much of its historic landmarks and charm in the name of progress, how is there not a middle ground? Help us find a solution together.

By raising our voices, we will expose a blatant but cleverly hidden mismanagement by FEMA that has allowed coal ash and pipelines on floodplains to escape mandatory insurance and pass all disaster relief to the consumer and taxpayer. This intentional move by FEMA has contributed to a decades long loss to the Disaster Relief Fund that is staggeringR

Joining the campaign will benefit us by getting what we deserve.. Either that or I will make it one of my major goals to have companies like this shut down!
