• Children, Hunger, Inoculations
    I have no idea if this is feasible, or is against the 1st Amendment ( but it is my free speech), I think this is an option that should be considered. Our government needs to pay more attention to this looming double crisis as it will effect the country as Covid-19 has.

  • Reject the May Proposal Bill
    The Governor of CA has proposed cuts to Medi-Cal. Physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy would no longer be covered as optional benefits under this proposal. This would mean that patients with Medi-Cal who have had strokes, spinal cord injuries, amputations, etc. would no longer receive PT as well as other rehabilitation services. • This item saves the State of California $5.6 Mil, but loses $14.2 Mil in federal matching funds we receive for this services. This makes NO sense. • These services have been proposed to be cut during past recessions, but this cut has always been rejected because of how critically important Physical Therapy services are in the spectrum of care. • Physical therapists provide including services to patients with joint replacements, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, injuries of all kinds, strokes, head and neurological injuries, burn victims, and more. • In effect, these services generate positive patient outcomes, lead patients back to their activities of daily living, reduce the complications associated with neurodegenerative and neurological injuries, improve patient quality of life, and guide patients back to returning to work. This is proven through evidence-based research, clinical practices, and patient experiences. • Cutting out these services will place patients in critical conditions, decline their physical and mental well-being, and deplete their potential to regain function and normalcy to become a contributing member in society If you believe there should NOT be any cuts to Medi-Cal funding for rehabilitative services, please sign below. This petition will be sent to the Senator who represents San Jose, Campbell, Cupertino, Monte Serano and Los Gatos in Northern California, but this proposal is a state-wide effect that requires you to contact legislators in your area/district as well.

  • Evs and Food service workers without the proper PPE in hospitals
    This is important because there are several minorities testing positive for Covid-19 because they are not provided with the safest level of PPE as anyone else in the hospital and that is not fair! Everyone that is on these frontlines working and being in contact with people who are already struggling with underlying issues should always be protected, for the employees safety to have to be at work to feed their family all the way up to the employees who are being forced to work in these conditions and then bringing it home to their families as well!!!!

  • Kaiser Permanente stop wasting $ on non-therapeutic preputial amputations
    Cosmetic surgeries are not covered by healthcare insurance plans, with the exception of this one for cultural/religious reasons. There is no reason this one should be covered. If it is done to a child, it is considered a human rights violation. If is done to a consenting adult, it should be treated like any other cosmetic surgery that is not necessary for the individual's health and well-being. We do not want our premiums supporting such acts.

  • MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER: BOYCOTT MEAT AND POULTRY PROCESSING COMPANIES!!!
    BIG meat and poultry companies are refusing to protect their employees! In order to protect their huge corporate profits, they are forcing their employees to make an impossible choice: either work under dangerous conditions (and thereby run the risk of infecting yourself and your family with Covid-19)-or lose your job! These companies should and must provide the necessary PPE, physical separation and testing in order to maintain a safe working environment for their employees. Until they do we should boycott their products. REFUSE TO BUY PRODUCTS FROM TYSON, JBS USA, SMITHFIELD FOOD, OR NATIONAL BEEF PACKING CO.!!!

  • Require Meat Packing Companies to Provide Health Care
    These workers are often people with limited resources who cannot risk infecting their families and communities. In exchange for their essential work, they must be protected and cared for in order for them to continue to be effective in their jobs.

  • Allow remote testing for EPPP and jurisprudence exams for psychology licensure
    We, the undersigned call on The Association of State and Provincial Psychology Board and the American Psychological Association to move the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP) testing and State Board testing to remote testing online access. The current pandemic has lead to increased mental illness and a surge in mental health crises across the world. Clinicians are currently unable to gain licensure due to the Pearson test center closures or reduced test taking abilities. Once the test centers reopen, it calls into question the safety of clinicians taking the test in a potentially compromised environment for four hours. As a result, this is causing a delay of competent clinicians becoming licensed and being able to provide services and support to those struggling in the community. All the while individuals are struggling to manage their mental health symptoms during this lockdown. The delay is not only affecting our potential patients, but it is also affecting the clinicians. Each month, clinicians are spending hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars to continue subscriptions to test materials in the hope they may be able to find a test date. Also, some clinicians suffer from medical concerns that make wearing a mask problematic and detrimental to performance. Wearing a mask for some leads to lightheadedness, feeling faint, or feeling smothered. Have validity tests been conducted for taking the EPPP while wearing a mask? Since starting this petition, we have learned that the LSAT is offering an online remote proctored test due to Covid-19. The Michigan Supreme Court has announced that the Bar exam will be taken online as a remote essay test. The Supreme Court of Washington has allowed an emergency diploma allowing those who registered for the bar exam in July or September to be licensed in the state without passing the exam.

  • Support the meat packing workers
    We are all told to shelter in place, keep six feet distance between us and use a face mask when we go anywhere for our safety and the safety of our fellow Americans and yet we expect the meat processing workers to endanger their lives and ours by continuing to work in unsafe conditions.
