Rename South Van Ness as Dolores Huerta BoulevardDolores Clara Fernández Huerta is an American labor leader and civil rights activist who, with Cesar Chavez, is a co-founder of the National Farmworkers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers (UFW). Huerta helped organize the Delano grape strike in 1965 in California and was the lead negotiator in the workers' contract that was created after the strike. Huerta has received numerous awards for her community service and advocacy for workers', immigrants', and women's rights, including the Eugene V. Debs Foundation Outstanding American Award, the United States Presidential Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Human Rights and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She was the first Latina inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame, in 1993. Huerta is the originator of the phrase, "Sí, se puede" (Yes, we can). As a role model to many in the Latino community, Huerta is the subject of many corridos (Mexican or Mexican-American ballads) and murals. In California, April 10 is Dolores Huerta day. It is also her birthday. For more information, see doloreshuertaboulevard.org1,393 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by sean s

Ban the HRHOA Use of Round UpGlyphosate is a carcinogenic herbicide with multiple million dollar settlements awarded to patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We are against ever having any Hope Ranch employee or subcontractor, paid with HRHOA dues, purchase or use the toxic product known as Round Up. The potential risk to our employees' health, litigation liability and the danger to residents health is at stake. Run off into the creeks and oceans is of concern when used on common areas, and therefore easily tracked into our homes and passed on to family, pets and wildlife. Please sign the petition to let the Hope Ranch Homeowners Board know where we stand. Thank you.109 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jan Dunbar

Reschedule MDMA & PsilocybinToo many Americans are needlessly suffering from psychological disorders such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, and substance dependency. Science has proven that these drugs show great promise in successfully treating the above disorders, often with just a single treatment. Rescheduling these drugs would be the first necessary step toward a future where the number of our Veterans committing suicide, individuals with depression, anxiety, addiction are greatly reduced. Thank you.307 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Eric Hartman

Protecting Seniors Living in Home Healthcare Facilities in WisconsinTAM LAWRENCE, LOBBYIST For several years, I trusted a home health care provider to care for my mom after a series of strokes my mother needed 24hr care. For the first 5yrs we received cares; as the business owner continued to open up more homes- the service declined and her staff went along with it. Unfortunately, my mom has for too long endured the abuse and neglect provided by Willowcrest Turner's Point Community Residential Facility located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On March 31, 2019 when I found my mother in a closed room sitting in a pool of urine, she had been in this condition for at least several hours. When I confronted the caretaker she agreed my mom was in this condition for over 2 hours [i have video] of her statement. Thereafter, I called the owner of the Community Residential Based Facility she stated, " I can not control what those people do over there. You have to do, what you got to do! We've been going through this for sometime and the state will not define this as abuse, your mother does not have any skin breakdowns nor does she have skin issues." - stated Kim Turner the owner of Willowcrest ll Turner's Point On one too many occasions the owner of WILLOWCREST TURNER'S POINT has played the victim and rather than fix what's wrong with her business's model- she'd rather complain about there not being suitable caregivers in MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN for her to hire. In efforts, to derail me from contacting the governing bodies or removing my mom she stated - it's a problem for basically everyone in the business in MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN so my mom in most cases would be treated the same or even worse if relocated. Her candid remarks, would normally make me feel a sense of hopelessness in which case I'd freeze up in fear. However, on April 1st 2019 I refused to be treated like a FOOL any longer and found assistance from the staff at St. Anne Day Service. I got my mom out! Let's make sure our seniors are protected - In closing, there needs to be tough laws, jail time, fines and the termination of licensing for those who abuse and neglect our seniors62 of 100 SignaturesCreated by T LAWRENCE

Medicare for All!Health care should be a basic right for everyone in the United States. It's a national shame that so many Americans have to choose between lifesaving health care and going into debt or bankruptcy, especially during a pandemic that has shown how vulnerable we all are. Despite Trump packing the court with far-right judges, the Supreme Court has upheld the Affordable Care Act, so we're no longer in immediate danger of our healthcare being ripped away from millions of people. Now is the time to expand coverage even further and continue to erase generations of inequality in our healthcare. Over half of all Democrats in the House of Representatives already support Medicare for All. There is real momentum. Everyone deserves quality healthcare, no matter their ability to pay.163,723 of 200,000 Signatures

RACISM MEETS CRITERIA FOR THREAT TO PUBLIC HEALTHFrom 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"! @Right2healthNow16,870 of 20,000 SignaturesCreated by Leslie Gregory, PA-C

Minneapolis Citizens for Eliminating Pesticides in Our Public ParksWhereas scientific studies associate exposure to pesticides with health risks to infants, children, pregnant women, and the elderly; Whereas pesticides are harmful to pets, wildlife, beneficial insects (including bees, currently at great risk from colony collapse disorder), and natural ecosystems; and Whereas, toxic runoff from pesticides and chemical fertilizers pollutes lakes, rivers and drinking water sources: We, the undersigned, call upon the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board to enact a policy to entirely eliminate the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers on all park-owned and park-leased properties, including all land and all bodies of water under MPRB control, in order to protect the public and promote a healthy, sustainable environment; and we call upon the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board to implement a pesticide-free management policy on all park-owned and park-leased properties.864 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Karlie Cole
