We envision a place where children and adults of all ages can come to celebrate their love of the arts. A theater where we can celebrate the creativity and courage of the artists in our community; while inspiring and encouraging others to build an appreciation for the performing arts.

I have lived in the neighborhood for over 15 years and am a member of the Charlesgate Alliance which is working hard to restore the Charlesgate Park to its original glory before the Bowker was erected. The Charlesgate Alliance has raised money and commissioned plans for restoration but the current MassDOT use of the area is endangering the mature and irreplaceable trees. MassDOT claims they have community support to extend their lease and I am organizing this petition to show that the neighborhood is strongly AGAINST it.

I am a student at Riverside High School in Greer, SC. The economic burden put on students or parents for parking passes should not be tolerated.

It has come to the attention of the students of Connecticut College that Dr. Andrea Baldwin is not being offered a tenure-track position, without first having to compete in a national search. We (the students of Connecticut College) feel that this completely devalues all the work Dr. Baldwin has done on this campus. This includes taking on many voluntary academic positions, such as the co-chair of Africana Studies and (position) of the CCSRE. Furthermore, it does not recognize all the work she has done for her students, both academically and personally. There is a long history of professors of color (specifically women of color) being denied tenure track at Connecticut College. As it currently stands, only 26.4% of full-time faculty are professors of color and only 7.1% of full-time faculty are Black or African American, this does not separate tenure, tenure-track professors. We find this disgraceful in an institution that claims to pride itself on equity and inclusion. Not only does Connecticut College fail to hire an adequate amount of professors of color, they fail even more gravely to retain them. Especially women of color. It is infuriating that students were not involved in the decision to forfeit Dr. Baldwins possibility of being a tenure-track hire. We find this to be especially disgraceful because the college prides itself on including students in these types of decisions and holds shared governance with its students to be a top priority. Finally, what is most obvious and disgraceful, is that the GWS department has now twice in the past five years created possibilities for exceptional “opportunity hires”. Both professors who were lucky enough to benefit from these opportunity hires are both white cisgendered professors, who were both granted tenure. The hires took place in a time where the GWS department was at risk of “no longer being a department”. It is clear that the department of “Gender, Sexuality, and Intersectionality” is, with out Dr. Baldwin, at risk again. This is why Dr. Bawdwin should have been and should still be considered for an opportunity hire to be placed in immediate tenure, or at least be granted a tenure-track position. It should be a priority of the school to retain professors of color by any means necessary especially when they have so clearly been valuable to student experience here at Conn.

Puppies are being enslaved against their free will in many countries including the U.S. Our hope at the Adam Fugere Foundation is to outlaw the enslavery of puppies. Puppies have rights too. This has to be stopped.

BECAUSE NORM NEEDS TO BE BANNED RIGHT NOW

The CHAA Executive Board secretly voted Rex and Elizabeth Smith off the baseball board without Rex and Elizabeth 's knowledge, or attendance from any Spring 2018 Baseball board members.

I think we have all seen the effects of bullying of a person either in day to day life or on the app. Some people can brush off the harsh words, but some people are really effected by the words that are said to them. Please sign this petition if you want to see a zero tolerance policy placed on liveme so that the accounts that are doing the bullying are banned from having their account. The people that come into a broadcast to tell people they are ugly, stupid, etc needs to stop. As well as in family chats and DM messages. Although you can block people, you can't always stop them before the words are said. Bullying can mentally harm a person and cause them to cause harm.

Changes to NCRA’s position on contracting took place in 2016 without notice to membership. We request that NCRA continues its Government Relations support at the state level for anti-contracting legislation in keeping with its longstanding promotion of high ethical standards and its past statements on this subject: "NCRA believes that the focus should be on ethics, not money. Arizona, Arkansas, Nevada, and other states have the sovereign right and responsibility to make sure that court reporters are neutral and impartial, both in fact and appearance. The integrity of the judicial process and the confidence of the people under our rule of law require no less. "NCRA is constitutionally protected in its efforts to support state legislation that will preserve the integrity of the legal system by ensuring the neutral and impartial role of court reporters in the administration of justice as officers of the court and guardians of the record." If the board will not renew its efforts to support states in upholding the profession's integrity against contracting, the signators of this petition will enact our rights under the NCRA Constitution & Bylaws, Article IX, Section 5, and appeal such decision for a membership vote at the 2018 Annual Business Meeting.

I do not want my phone taken away! it is bullcrap! Please sign to save me!

We believe that this cultural holiday deserves more recognition especially as about 15% of Brookline students celebrate it.

I really want to meet Ellen DeGeneres. It has been a dream of mine for a while now and I would love it if you could help me make this dream come true.
