• BRING HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL TO NEVADA
    Pennington Student Achievement Center is the ideal filming location for High School Musical 4. It's the start of something new, it's shiny, and it is the most beautiful building to ever grace this state. Stepping inside this glorious building you feel an instant emotional connection--a connection that should be shared with the good people of Disney and the world. Think of the social stairs and the glorious choreography that could unfold on them. THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES. It is about time that the University of Nevada start breakin' free and be appreciated in all of its glory. And it's about time that we were all featured in the background scenes of a Disney Original Movie. But it all starts with you signing this petition. You just gotta get ya head in the game.

  • open the Baltic St. schoolyard to the public during non-school hours
    The petition is to act on getting K497, the School for International Studies and K429, the Brooklyn School of Global Studies, to open their schoolyard to the public during non-school hours, just as other neighborhood schools do. The two public schools are located in the building at 284 Baltic Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201. The neighborhood has been asking the schools to reopen their schoolyard to neighborhood children and families for more than five years - when it was just an asphalt lot. The schoolyard has since been remodeled for the second time and it offers tremendous opportunities for neighborhood residents to gather and play; the new artificial turfed field is unparalleled in the community as are the playground’s climbing apparatus and creative gross motor play opportunities presented by the stick forest and spinning areas. Offering the schoolyard to neighborhood residents outside of school hours is a great opportunity for the schools to give back to community families and businesses. At least five public schools within the surrounding ten blocks open their schoolyards to the public during non-school hours following NYC Parks rules: PS 29, PS 32, PS 38, PS 261 and K519. The NYC Parks department even sponsors the Schoolyards to Playgrounds initiative which is making a concerted effort to improve schoolyards and make them accessible to the public. Ours is a reasonable request grounded in precedent.

  • SHINee in America
    My best friend is IN LOVE with SHINee and I want her to be able to go to one of their concerts if it's the last thing I do. Why hasn't SM brought SHINee to America yet? They could make so much money if that's what they're worried about while making thousands of international fans immensely happy. If you want SHINee to come to America, or would be willing to buy tickets, please sign this petition.

  • Pledge to Stick With Bernie Through the Primaries!
    With the race so close, Bernie may not win states his supporters are hoping for, but if we lose momentum that is the only way we lose. We must pledge not only to keep up the momentum but to strengthen it.

  • Not in our name, and not with our money
    Responding to a string of tragic shootings in Kalamazoo County since January 1, 2016 that have left several Kalamazoo area residents dead or badly injured, residents and community leaders are drawing attention to the epidemic of gun violence in the United States and taking aim directly at the companies profiting from it. Gun sales tend to increase after mass shooting events, increasing revenue for the gun industry, much of which is used to influence elections and lobby elected officials to prevent passage of common sense gun regulations at the state and national level. We need to take action as individuals by selling off any investments we have in companies that profit from gun violence and calling on others, especially our elected officials, to do the same. Kalamazoo city and county would not be the first local governments or pension funds to divest from the gun industry. New York City, Chicago, the state of Rhode Island, and the California State Teachers Retirement System, valued at nearly $150 billion, have already acted to sell off, and stop purchasing, investments in the gun industry. For more information on divestment from gun manufacturers, see http://unloadyour401k.com/ Certainly individual behaviors and ideas about guns need to change, but we also need to change the incentives so that gun makers cannot profit from gun violence.

  • Tell MSNBC: Fire "Morning Joe" hosts for supporting Trump's hate and violence
    MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are using their positions as TV commentators to actively support Donald Trump’s candidacy – and they just got caught. They recently used their position on MSNBC to hold a “town hall” with only Trump. That’s bad enough, but a recording just leaked of Scarborough and Brzezinski talking in between commercial breaks, like friends who are on the same team. Brzezinski asks whether she should ask questions about deportation: “Do you not want me to do, the um, the ones with, um, deportation?” Trump says “Nothing too hard, Mika,” and Mika says “Okay.” No questions about deportation were asked. At another point, Trump says “This will make us all look good,” to which Scarborough replies “Exactly.” Scarborough and Brzezinski aren’t coming right out and saying they’re for Trump. Instead, they’re using their position on MSNBC to act like journalists, but shape media coverage so that it helps Trump. It’s completely unacceptable, especially given Trump’s racist demonization of Latinos, and his encouragement of violence against those who oppose him. It's an embarrassment for the network and it should embarrass corporate sponsors that their money is reinforcing hate, racism and violence. Join us in telling executives at NBC and MSNBC that if they want to have any credibility with Latinos, they need to take Scarborough and Brzezinski off the air, and replace them with someone who will challenge Trump’s violent and racist rhetoric, not support it.

  • Tell St. Louis Archbishop: Don't kick Girl Scouts out of churches
    With cookie season in full swing, the archbishop of St. Louis is asking Catholic parishes to end a century-old tradition of hosting Girl Scout troops. Archbishop Robert Carlson claims that the Girl Scouts are "increasingly incompatible with our Catholic values" because of tenuous connections to organizations like Oxfam and Amnesty International whose political views he disagrees with. Despite conducting a lengthy witch hunt, the archbishop and his staff found nothing happening in local troops that he objected to. Unfortunately, that didn't stop him from writing a misleading letter to priests and troop leaders which makes plenty of vague accusations but omits the simple fact that the Girl Scouts don't take positions on controversial issues like abortion. More than 4,000 Girl Scouts meet in Catholic churches in the St. Louis area. They don't deserve to be held hostage to Archbishop Carlson's culture-war politics.

  • Stop anti-gay legislation
    I'm starting this petition first off because I'm a strong supporter of equal rights for everyone. This bill directly effects me and would allow discrimination against me because of the people I am attracted to. I think it is immoral for people to discriminate against someone because they do not fall directly in line with someone else's beliefs.
