Two cycle gas leafblowers burn a gas-oil mix that is highly air polluting. Two cycle gas motorcycles and other vehicles have been banned from our roads for decades. Why do we tolerate the use of hundreds/thousands of two cycle gas leafblowers every day in San Jose?

The Coast Redwood is an endangered species, and needs to be recognized as such, and allowed to regain its original range.

To protect the alligator. This is a species that has been around for millions of years. We need to protect them.

Our generational freedoms, rights. liberties, and justices to stand against the crimes against humanity.

We oppose the construction of any data centers in Blue Island. We believe economic development should focus on creation of jobs without harming the environment or increasing utility costs for the public.

"The unchecked proliferation of data centers is already causing irrevocable public harm to our communities across economic, social, and environmental fronts. We need to stand together because state and county leaders continue to incentivize and approve these projects without a full accounting of their true costs. This is a matter of fairness for every resident. While our residential electricity rates have risen by nearly 50%, data centers continue paying less than half the rate per kilowatt-hour that we do. This gap forces our families and small businesses to subsidize infrastructure like the $200 million Hillsboro substation. Our schools are paying the price, too. In 2024 alone, the Hillsboro School District lost $128 million due to data center tax abatements. These facilities generate among the lowest number of permanent jobs per acre of any industry, yet they are being gifted enormous tax breaks. This is not economic development—it’s a giveaway. Beyond the money, the environmental toll is staggering. Large-scale facilities can consume as much as 4.5 million gallons of water per day, straining our supplies and driving expensive new infrastructure costs that will be passed on to you. We recently defeated Senator Sollman’s SB 1586 to protect our farmland, but that was only one battle. We need you to join us in calling for an immediate moratorium to hold our elected leaders accountable, ensure corporations pay their fair share, and safeguard our world-class farmland from irreversible destruction."

Why This Is Important The Pleasant Grove neighborhood is home to families, children, and residents who deserve to feel safe on the streets where they live. Unfortunately, excessive speeding has become a serious and ongoing problem in our community. Vehicles frequently travel through the neighborhood at dangerous speeds, creating constant safety risks for pedestrians, children playing outside, people walking their dogs, and families simply trying to enjoy their neighborhood. This issue has been brought to the attention of local authorities over the years, but the speeding continues without a permanent solution. Without traffic-calming measures in place, the danger remains every single day. Speed bumps are a simple and proven way to slow traffic in residential areas. They help protect the most vulnerable members of our community and encourage drivers to respect neighborhood speed limits. Taking action now is about preventing accidents before they happen. Installing speed bumps will help ensure that Pleasant Grove remains a safe place for families to live, children to play, and neighbors to walk without fear of speeding vehicles. Our community should not have to wait for a tragedy to occur before meaningful action is taken.

If you are a parent of a special needs child or children and are concerned about how your children are treated while they are absent from you, help me make a difference. Parents with nonverbal kids like myself, remember, we are their voices, so let's be heard. Signing this petition is just the beginning, but we can fight until the END!

The proposed construction will drastically alter the landscape of the area, introducing high-density housing that could lead to increased traffic congestion, overstretched local services, and reduced green space, which are fundamental to our community’s character and environmental health. Residential neighborhoods, like those around Kennedy Road, have long been cherished for their peaceful atmosphere and open spaces — a sharp contrast to the urban density that these apartment complexes would bring. According to studies from the American Planning Association, rapid urban development can detrimentally impact local ecosystems, increase pollution levels, and diminish residents' quality of life. These significant shifts go against the values of sustainability and community well-being that are deeply important to the residents of Blacklick. Moreover, local wildlife, which currently thrives in this semi-natural environment, faces the threat of habitat disruption due to this planned construction. The potential ecological impact includes a reduction in biodiversity and challenges to the survival of native species, a concern supported by research from the World Wildlife Fund. The local infrastructure is already under strain, with schools, public transport, and emergency services stretched to their limits. Introducing a substantial number of new residents without proportionate enhancements to these services will inevitably lead to breakdowns and inefficiencies.

QTS has not been forthright about the environmental, financial, and community impacts this massive project will bring to our small village. Residents deserve real answers before any approval is granted. The Village of DeForest should not move forward with any approval until QTS provides independent environmental and economic impact studies that are made fully available to the public. This company’s lack of transparency is unacceptable. We refuse to allow a reckless project to jeopardize the health, stability, and sustainability of our community. Let’s protect DeForest’s future before it’s too late. Sign this petition to tell the Village Board: No approval without full transparency from QTS!

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?
