Bubby is my best friend and the only thing I care about in this world. He may be getting older but he is fit as a fiddle. He has been my longest friend in life and has always been there for me from pulling me on scooters to peeing on the floor. He has been the only thing constant in my life. I know many people think he is crusty grumpy or even has no personality, but to me these are all the things that make up Bubby all of these things make them irreplaceable in my heart. Please sign this petition, not just for Bubby, but for representation of all shy people in the world.  

• Community Image: A town name should represent pride, not punchlines. • Economic Growth: First impressions matter for tourism, business investment, and branding. • Modern Relevance: Language shifts over time; names should evolve with it. • Local Voice: Residents deserve a say in how their town is represented.

The leadership of Animal Services is not merely a bureaucratic position; it is a role that directly impacts the safety, health, and lives of the most vulnerable animals in our community. This petition is vital because the current climate of unprofessionalism and administrative neglect has compromised the fundamental mission of the department.

People should join this movement because it offers something Indianapolis is missing: a real, practical, humane path forward. This campaign isn’t about blame or politics — it’s about building a city where everyone has the chance to be safe, stable, and part of the community. This is a great opportunity to build stronger neighborhoods. Community gardens, greenhouse projects, beautification work, and small‑business partnerships all create:  • cleaner streets  • safer parks  • more local pride  • stronger relationships between neighbors  Not everyone can donate money or volunteer every week.  But everyone can:  • sign a petition  • share information  • support fair‑wage programs  • advocate for humane policies 

The East Hampton train station is more than just a transit hub—it’s a public space that serves our entire community. Building a bar here would: 1. Privatize a public space – The station should serve commuters and residents, not commercial interests. 2. Impact vulnerable workers and commuters – Overpriced food and alcohol could make the station less welcoming and accessible. 3. Increase crowding and safety risks – A bar could lead to congestion, noise, and public safety concerns. 4. Set a precedent for commercialization – Allowing one business could open the door for more commercial ventures in public spaces, changing the character of East Hampton. Protecting the station ensures it remains a safe, functional, and inclusive space for everyone who relies on it.

Every time I drive at night, I am confronted with the same problem: how to maintain safe driving when I can barely see the road because of LED headlights. I understand that it is not the driver's fault, as most modern vehicles now come equipped with them. However, that does not change the fact that they can create unsafe situations due to the excessively bright and distracting glare. As an everyday driver—or even as a pedestrian—you have likely experienced at least one moment where you had to squint your eyes or make an educated guess that you were still on the road because of how bright LED headlights have become. Something needs to be done about this issue in order to keep our roads safe for ourselves and for future generations.

The district Camp Chloe resides in, is currently overseen by councilman Mark Squilla, who has maintained councilmanic prerogative to the detriment of the residents. Meaning, he will continually back property owners, shareholders and developers needs over the needs of a vulnerable community of his constituents.  When asked to stop the most recent sweep, Mark Squilla told organizers that 'he doesn't have councilmanic prerogative over this land' which is absolutely not true. He has not been available for further comment, though the sweep was deterred by on the ground efforts of supporters and organizers.    Cherelle Parker has not made any comment about Camp Chloe, but we have heard from her office, that the needs and demands of the residents have been 'noted'.  As of 3/23, Cherelle Parker and Mark Squilla held a press conference announcing a new shelter opening up in the city, calling it a 'solution, not a shelter'.  But a solution for whom?  Funding for housing has been cut across the country. Abandoned houses rot throughout Philadelphia, seldom being repurposed into affordable housing. Rent is skyrocketing. Federal funding for social security, food stamps, and general assistance is being cut.  When this happens, the homeless population grows. Is the Mayor suggesting, with Mark Squilla standing directly behind her, that the 'solution' to losing your house, is to be indefinitely admitted into a shelter?  Is the suggestion that shelters offer more stability? Instead of curbing autonomy as we know them to do?  It is odd to offer shelters as a 'solution', to 'solve homelessness', in a city where the amount of vacant houses more than TRIPLES the amount of residents it has experiencing homelessness.  Without investing in more permanent, supportive housing, WHEN are you supposed to leave the shelter? WHERE are you supposed to go once you're out if there's no voucher and you can't afford rent? Philadelphia has more expensive transportation, groceries, and utilities than the national average. HOW are shelter systems helping offset these expenses for individuals who hope to graduate from them? HOW can one meaningfully save for an affordable future when the funding is only being spent on interim shelters?  Now you're starting to see what the residents of Camp Chloe have seen for a long time.  We demand a stop to the forced removal of the residents of Camp Chloe.  We demand negotiations instead of coercion into shelters. 

Stephen Miller wants Congress to quietly extend the government’s warrantless spying powers, calling the law that the FBI and NSA abuse to surveil Americans “critical.” At the same time, Trump and Pete Hegseth are demanding that tech companies give the government unrestricted use of their powerful AI programs for warmaking AND domestic surveillance of Americans. Federal law enforcement routinely abuses Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to search through the electronic communications of Americans without a warrant. A recent report shows that these searches rose by a whopping 35% at Kash Patel’s FBI. It would get even worse with the help of AI. Congress must halt this potential explosion of domestic spying under Trump! Sign the petition: Block the Trump administration from AI-supercharging warrantless government surveillance of Americans! Demand Progress led more than 90 organizations in a letter to Congressional leaders urging them to reject Stephen Miller’s push for a simple reauthorization of Section 702 before it expires on April 20. It’s critical for Congress to use its leverage to close glaring surveillance loopholes. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies spy on Americans by abusing the data broker loophole, bypassing privacy rights by purchasing our sensitive information from data brokers. The backdoor search loophole allows law enforcement agencies to circumvent court orders and search through billions of communications for information about people in the United States. AI tools will give Trump, Miller, Patel, and Hegseth unprecedented capabilities to use these loopholes to violate the privacy of Americans. Congress must stop this supercharged authoritarian surveillance regime. Sign the petition: No warrantless AI surveillance in America! Block reauthorization of FISA unless it includes protections for our privacy.

Places like Crunch are vanishing from American life. Researchers call them "third places" — not home, not work, but neighborhood anchors where people of many different backgrounds come together, find community, and banish loneliness. When a private equity firm decides a small community gym no longer fits its growth model, something irreplaceable is lost. This Crunch works precisely because of its intimacy and scale. You know the staff. You know your classmates. As one member put it: "I used to never go to the gym — but once my kids were grown, I found myself needing a place to gather, to see people, to feel part of something. Now I go six days a week. This place is not just about physical health, but it's mental and emotional health." The things that make this Crunch not fit Onelife's corporate model — its intimacy, its neighborhood feel, its scale — are precisely what make it irreplaceable to us.

Because I know they like truffle tots too.

Spice lovers love this chip; and as Frito-Lay expands their spice palate, the fiery habanero Dinamitas should undoubtedly be a permanent staple in the Dinamitas chip line.

It’s important because it shifts public safety from **reaction** to **prevention**, and it creates measurable outcomes instead of slogans. - **Lives:** early intervention + de‑escalation reduces shootings, retaliation, and victimization.   - **Jobs:** it funds paid roles, training, and pathways so people aren’t forced into survival economies.   - **Trust:** communities cooperate more when they see accountable, local solutions—not just after-the-fact punishment.   - **Cost:** prevention is cheaper than incarceration, ER trauma care, and long-term instability.   - **National impact:** safer communities strengthen the whole country—economically, socially, and politically.
