Ebola is back: restore global pandemic funding now!There have been 18 deaths so far, and 32 infected, in the new Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. [1] Outbreaks of highly contagious, deadly diseases can usually be contained with the right support and responses. The United States has long led the way in providing the knowledge and resources needed to prevent small, local outbreaks from becoming globe-spanning epidemics, but we are currently under-prepared [2] to respond to a major public health threat. Everyone has a stake in preventing a return to a past where infectious diseases killed more people than wars. The White House needs to restore high-level pandemic response funding and bring in skilled public health experts to coordinate with medical response teams in the US and around the world. --- [1] - "A new Ebola outbreak has infected 32 people — and the White House official in charge of responses to global pandemics just left," by Kevin Loria, May 11, 2018. https://www.chron.com/technology/businessinsider/article/A-new-Ebola-outbreak-has-infected-32-people-12907228.php [2] - "Top White House official in charge of pandemic response exits abruptly," by Lena H.

Change Anti-Gay Men Blood Donor LawsDefer for 12 months from the most recent contact a man who has had sex with another man during the past 12 months. Defer for 12 months from the most recent contact a female who has had sex during the past 12 months with a man who has had sex with another man in the past 12 months. These are the rules that stopped me, a gay man, from saving babies and victims' lives. We need to abolish these rules and live in a world where everyone can give blood no matter what sexual preference or gender! Blood is given based on your blood type, not what you like.58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Justin Martin

Drug Treatment for Tooele County ResidentsI'm starting this petition because I feel that it is very important for anybody that is plagued by drug addiction to have options if they choose to be sober. At this point in time, Tooele County has very few resources when it comes to rehabilitation. I am wanting to see an inpatient facility that helps addicts without having to have a court order. Recovery needs to be a choice and rehabilitation needs to be readily available and within reach of these people. I would also like to see a detox intake option also. It is very important that addicts who struggle to find help have options and hope to recover from their addictions. There are no centers in the surrounding areas that offer any options for Tooele county residents.288 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Rachelle Busico
