In light of her contributions and the profound impact she had on our community, it is imperative that we join in this campaign to rename our street to Dr. Daniela Small-Bailey Way. Her unwavering commitment to education and her passion for fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment have left an indelible mark on our schools. Her genuine care for each student ensured that every child felt valued and supported, making a lasting impact on countless lives. Her legacy of humor, kindness, leadership, and dedication will always be remembered and cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.  Honoring her in this way will serve as a perpetual reminder of the extraordinary person she was and the values she championed, inspiring future generations to follow in her footsteps. We should join in this campaign to change the Englewood street sign “Durie Avenue” to “Dr. Daniela Small-Bailey Way” to properly showcase our devout appreciation and celebration of her love to the children of our community. Your support would be invaluable in ensuring that we properly honor Dr. Daniela Small-Bailey’s legacy. By renaming “Durie Avenue”, we not only recognize her contributions but also keep her spirit alive in our community. Thank you for your attention to this matter. It is time to stand behind this great leader and honor her name.  Thank You

People should join this campaign for change to support all of our families of Pineville High School. This is so important because many student’s families don't have the financial resources to follow this dress code. The dress code was sent out very late and many students have already bought their uniforms. I feel that if I were a parent of a child that attended PHS, I would be very upset and stressed that we are now finding this out 10 DAYS BEFORE school. I have talked to many of my friends about this, and some even mentioned that they will not be following this dress code because they have already bought all of their uniforms. I think that if Pineville High School had such a big problem with our dress code they should have told us before summer. Thank y’all for understanding!  GO REBELS!!!!❤️

Dear Mayor Stanfill and the City Council, I am writing to petition for Central Boulevard, which runs from US Highway 77 to Ovilla Road, to be renamed after former Red Oak alum Michelle Carter. Central Boulevard, along with the city, has seen tremendous growth in recent years and is currently the location of Red Oak High School. Carter is an excellent candidate for having the road named after her because she exemplifies what it means to be a champion, both on and off the field. Growing up in Red Oak, TX, it's hard not to think of Olympic Gold medalist, World Champion, NCAA National Champion, seven-time All-American, and four-time UIL State Champion Michelle Carter, especially during the Olympics. Michelle's achievements are not only part of Olympic, NCAA, and Texas history, but they also form a part of Red Oak's history. It's time we recognize this by naming Central Boulevard after her.

It's important for the handicapped folk to feel welcomed. If I can't get in I'm obviously not welcome or it would be just as accessible to us as it is to all fully functioning folks. It's a law to have handicap parking spots and walkways but not doors?😫 It's okay for me to be there parked in the front of the building and then I can easily push my walker or wheelchair onto the sidewalk but I can't go in? 🤷 What's up with that? Enforce laws all the way up to the doorway and then, sorry, you're unable to enter because you can't operate your walking aid and the door at the same time? It can cause a severe accident and someone could be badly hurt 🤕. I don't think anyone wants that lawsuit on their hands. Discrimination, I believe. 

We, the undersigned, demand that the Trenton City Council take immediate action to address the housing crisis by: 1. Implementing rent control measures to stabilize rental prices and prevent excessive rent increase.  2. Increasing funding for affordable housing initiatives to create more accessible housing options for low-and moderate income families and individuals. 3. Establishing a renters' ordinance to ensure that tenants have clear protections and recourse mechanisms in case of unfair treatment by landlords. 4. Conducting a comprehensive study to assess the true scope of the affordability issue in Trenton. This study should include a survey to determine the percentage of residents who can or cannot afford current rental prices. We believe that everyone deserves access to safe, decent and affordable housing. We urge the City of Trenton Council  and State of NJ to prioritize the needs of the residents and take decisive action to address the housing crisis.

Vice President Kamala Harris is a Black, South Asian, daughter of immigrants who has tirelessly advocated for and fought for our communities. She’s fought to raise the minimum wage, to protect our voting rights, to make higher education tuition-free, to reform the cash bail system, to expand access to health care, to hold sexual abusers accountable, to protect our reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy, to protect the LGBTQIA+ community, and so much more.  Harris has a proven track record of putting people over corporations by taking on fraudsters trying to cheat the American people—and winning, successfully going after Big Oil, greedy pharmaceutical companies, and predatory mortgage lenders to deliver wins for working people. This is what the media should focus on instead of racist and sexist attacks. Unfortunately, attacks against Black candidates, especially Black women candidates, are not new. When former Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to the House of Representatives, ran for president, she was not taken seriously. When Stacey Abrams ran, Republicans talked about her relationship status, her weight, they darkened her skin in political ads to rile up their racist base, and so much more. And now, Republicans like Congressman Tim Burchett are calling Vice President Kamala Harris a “DEI hire." We have to call it what it is: A racist dog whistle against Vice President Harris that bigots also use to diminish and discredit Black and brown people, LGBTQIA+ people, and women’s experiences and accomplishments. “DEI'' which stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, is being weaponized similarly to how the word “woke” has been weaponized by bigots. And news outlets stoke the flames, reporting on these statements without providing necessary critical analysis or context regarding the underlying racism and sexism. We must come together to fight back against this.  The truth is that Black women have powered the Democratic Party for years. In 2008 and 2012, 96% of Black women voted for President Barack Obama, providing the margin he needed to win two presidential terms. In 2016, 94% of Black women voted for Hillary Clinton. Black women powered the blue wave in 2018, and 90% of Black women voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020. We can’t sit idly by as MAGA Republicans and bigots continue to hurl racist and sexist attacks and news and media outlets legitimize their most offensive and baseless claims. Vice President Harris has broken glass ceiling after glass ceiling many times throughout her life. But when trailblazing Black women and women in politics like Harris are put in the spotlight, they are far too often subject to sexist and racist disinformation campaigns, made worse by news publications looking for "hot takes" and social media virality for clicks, views, and money. We need news outlets and journalists to be held to the highest standards of integrity, ensuring that they are not spreading harmful misinformation, recklessly sharing racist or sexist commentary that undermines Harris's qualifications, or publishing biased and unbalanced reporting on Harris.  Harris is a beacon of hope and representation for young Black and brown girls and women, not only across the country but the world. MAGA Republicans are afraid of her because they know she will continue to expose their dangerous Project 2025 agenda that will give Trump unchecked powers to eliminate abortion, hurt working- and middle-class people, fire civil servants, and roll back our rights and freedoms while reshaping all aspects of the government. They are afraid of her because they know she will fight for the working class instead of big corporations. So they resort to racist and sexist attacks against her. We can only imagine how low MAGA Republicans will go to discredit a successful, qualified candidate like Harris. But we can and must demand better from independent journalists now to STOP these sexist and racist attacks in their tracks. The media has a significant influence on the public narrative, and journalists have a responsibility to address racism, sexism, misogynoir, and any biases that can influence their election reporting when it comes to Harris.  Will you add your name to the petition? 

Signing the petition to get our congressman to advocate for us with FEMA is crucial for several reasons: 1. Amplify Our Voice: A petition demonstrates that a significant number of constituents are concerned about an issue. This collective voice is more likely to get the attention of our congressman and prompt action. 2. Urgent Needs: FEMA assistance is often needed to address urgent needs following disasters, such as providing temporary housing, financial aid, and recovery resources. Our congressman's advocacy can expedite this process. 3. Accountability: By signing the petition, we hold our elected representative accountable to the community. It reminds them of their responsibility to represent and support our interests. 4. Resource Allocation: Effective advocacy can ensure that our community receives a fair share of resources and support from FEMA, which can be crucial for rebuilding and recovery efforts. 5. Highlighting Issues: A petition can bring to light specific issues or challenges our community faces that might not be widely known. This can help tailor FEMA's response to better meet our needs. 6. Building Support: A strong show of support through a petition can encourage other elected officials and organizations to join our cause, creating a broader coalition for effective action. By signing the petition, you help ensure our community's needs are heard and addressed promptly and effectively.

The Wheaties cereal box is a prime example of the impact that Olympic and Paralympic athletes have on culture in the United States. As a cultural touchstone, Wheaties can help push back against the growing wave of dangerous anti-trans policies and sentiments across the country.  Nikki is one of the only transgender athlete competing to bring home the gold for Team USA in this year’s Olympics, after rules around trans athletes’ participation were tightened since Tokyo 2020. This is the perfect moment for Wheaties to make clear that they stand for inclusivity and acceptance.   A staggering 25 states have dangerous policies restricting transgender students from participating in sports that align with their gender identity. Violence against transgender and nonbinary Americans is on the rise, and conservative states are mounting attacks on both transgender children and adults, passing laws that restrict funding for and access to gender-affirming care.  Representation matters. We need young transgender and nonbinary kids to see themselves represented in major sporting and cultural events. Join us in calling on Wheaties to put Nikki Hiltz front and center – signaling that anyone can be an Olympic athlete, no matter their gender or sexuality. 

The two largest private employers in the U.S.—Amazon and Walmart—are using abusive and invasive surveillance tactics to get even richer at the expense of workers’ rights, safety, and dignity. Warehouse workers are being constantly monitored, creating environments where they have no choice but to keep up with inhuman, unsustainable productivity standards. These often result in health and safety risks, with workers reporting they don't have time to use the bathroom because of how fast they are pushed to work. This is unacceptable. Add your name to the petition to demand Amazon and Walmart stop the hyper-surveillance of their warehouse workers that compromises their health, safety, and well-being.

Empowering the Future - A Call to Lower the Age to Run for President Dear Fellow Citizens, Our nation stands at a crossroads, facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. In this moment, we must harness the full potential of every citizen, regardless of age. I am writing to you today to advocate for a cause that is not just about me, but about empowering an entire generation of young Americans who are ready to lead, innovate, and create a brighter future for us all. It is time to lower the age requirement to run for president and give young voices the platform they deserve. Why It Matters 1. Fresh Perspectives and Innovative Solutions The younger generation brings fresh ideas and a keen understanding of modern challenges such as climate change, technological advancement, and social justice. Our nation needs leaders who can think outside the box, who are not bound by outdated paradigms but are eager to explore new solutions. By lowering the age requirement, we open the door to innovative policies that address today’s most pressing issues with the urgency and creativity they demand. 2. Representation for All Generations Youth make up a significant portion of our population, yet their voices are often underrepresented in the highest levels of government. This imbalance means that the concerns and aspirations of young people are not fully reflected in national policies. By allowing younger candidates to run for president, we ensure that our leadership is truly representative of all generations, leading to a more inclusive and balanced approach to governance. 3. Energy and Determination Young leaders are driven by passion and determination to make a difference. They are not yet jaded by the status quo and are often more willing to challenge existing systems to create meaningful change. This energy is essential for tackling long-standing issues that previous generations have struggled to resolve. It is time to infuse our political system with the vigor and ambition of youth. Why You Should Support This Movement 1. A New Era of Leadership Supporting the movement to lower the age requirement for presidential candidates is about more than just changing a number. It is about ushering in a new era of leadership that is responsive, dynamic, and attuned to the needs of a rapidly changing world. It is about believing in the potential of our youth to rise to the occasion and lead with integrity and vision. 2. Bridging Generational Divides Lowering the age requirement fosters greater understanding and collaboration between generations. It encourages mentorship and the sharing of wisdom between older and younger leaders, creating a more cohesive and united society. By bridging these divides, we can work together more effectively to build a prosperous future for all. 3. Fixing What Past Generations Couldn't There are persistent issues that have been passed down from generation to generation, unresolved and festering. It is time to give the younger generation the chance to tackle these problems with fresh eyes and new approaches. By supporting this movement, you are empowering young leaders to address and fix the challenges that past generations have struggled to overcome. Why Choose Me I stand before you as a representative of this movement, ready to champion the cause of youth empowerment and lead with dedication and purpose. My commitment to this cause is unwavering, and I am prepared to work tirelessly to ensure that our voices are heard. Here is why you should choose me to spearhead this movement: 1. Passionate Advocate for Change I have always been driven by a deep passion for making a positive impact in our society. My experiences have equipped me with the knowledge and determination to advocate effectively for this cause. I am committed to fighting for the rights and representation of young people in the political arena. 2. Proven Leadership Throughout my life, I have demonstrated leadership in various capacities, whether it be in community organizations, educational institutions, or advocacy groups. I have a track record of bringing people together, building consensus, and driving meaningful change. I am ready to bring this experience to the national stage. 3. Vision for the Future I envision a future where age is not a barrier to leadership, where young people are empowered to bring their unique perspectives to the forefront of national policy. I am committed to creating an inclusive and forward-thinking government that truly reflects the diversity and potential of our nation. Join the Movement This is a pivotal moment in our nation’s history. Together, we can create a future where every voice is heard, and every citizen has the opportunity to lead. I ask for your support in this movement to lower the age requirement to run for president. Let us stand together, empower our youth, and fix what past generations couldn't. Thank you for believing in the power of young leadership. Together, we can make history. Sincerely, West Abadie 

Concerns have been raised about some presidential candidates' cognitive abilities, psychological traits, or integrity, affecting their mental acuity, communication, behaviors, honesty, and other competencies. As Americans, we demand full transparency regarding candidates' cognitive abilities, psychological states, and integrity assessments to make informed decisions in November. We, our congressional representatives and governors must ensure presidential candidates are fit for the Executive Office of the President of the United States. The role is too demanding and consequential for us, our country, and the world to ignore or dismiss any possible deficiencies in any candidate that we may see and hear.

Changing the order of protection system to address its misuse is crucial for several reasons: Preserving the Integrity of Legal Protections: Orders of protection are essential tools designed to protect individuals from genuine threats of abuse, harassment, or violence. When these orders are misused, it undermines the credibility and effectiveness of the entire legal system. Ensuring that orders of protection are used appropriately helps maintain their integrity and ensures they remain a reliable resource for those in real need. Preventing Abuse of the Legal System: Misuse of orders of protection for personal gain, such as in contentious divorces or custody battles, can clog the legal system with frivolous cases. This not only wastes valuable judicial resources but also delays the resolution of genuine cases where individuals are in immediate danger and need prompt protection. Protecting the Rights of the Accused: Individuals falsely accused and restrained by orders of protection suffer significant emotional, social, and financial harm. They may face damage to their reputation, job loss, and severe emotional distress. By addressing misuse, the legal system can better balance the rights of the accused with the need to protect genuine victims. Ensuring Fairness and Justice: A legal system perceived as fair and just is fundamental to public trust. When orders of protection are weaponized, it creates a perception of injustice and bias, eroding confidence in the legal system. Reforming the system to prevent misuse helps restore faith in legal processes and ensures that justice is fairly administered. Encouraging Genuine Victims to Seek Help: When orders of protection are misused, it can create skepticism and stigma around seeking such protections. Genuine victims might hesitate to come forward, fearing they won't be taken seriously or that their cases will be seen as part of a larger pattern of misuse. Ensuring that orders of protection are applied correctly encourages genuine victims to seek the help they need without fear of judgment.  Reducing Retaliatory Actions: Misuse of orders of protection can lead to retaliatory actions, escalating conflicts rather than resolving them. By implementing measures to prevent such misuse, the system can focus on de-escalation and resolution, reducing the potential for further conflict and harm. Promoting Accountability and Responsibility: Holding individuals accountable for misusing legal protections promotes a sense of responsibility and respect for the law. It sends a clear message that the legal system is not a tool for personal vendettas or manipulation, but a serious and vital mechanism for ensuring safety and justice. By addressing the misuse of orders of protection, we can create a more just, efficient, and trustworthy legal system that better serves the needs of all individuals involved.
