No Adding 7 Countries to the Muslim BanThe Muslim Ban is a racist and xenophobic policy dividing families and targeting refugees from Muslim nations. This latest expansion is nothing then more of the same.58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Iman Boukadoum

More Lights For DavisNot only is it a matter of personal, physical, and general safety at night, Davis is unofficially known as the bike capital of the world. With so many bike and bus lanes in a small congested town, it is important to have adequate lighting to maintain the safety of both the students and the people of Davis. It is important to also keep in mind the effects added lighting can have on the environment. This petition will also ask for efficient methods when implementing more lights through the use of LEDs and other methods.81 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Genna Weinstein

Allan Morsley: Encourage the judge to allow Mr. Morsley to return home and help the communityResearch and time highlighted many errors and wrongs done by actors within the criminal justice system. The system itself is in place for a reason. Many people with violent crimes are being released throughout the country. Drug offenders are also being released. Mr. Morsley has served over 25 years. This length of time is given to murderers. Let’s be clear, there are no murders related to this case or committed by Mr. Morsley. Mr. Morsley is needed at home. His mother has suffered 3 strokes and has developed dementia. His father is currently battling cancer. His children have been without a father. Upon his return, he will dedicate his remaining years to uplift and encourage youth to participate in the community, avoid doors that lead to criminal activity, and to refrain from bullying others into negative activity. So what’s his plan when he gets home? He will link with a newly formed community non-profit “We The Bright Lights of the Future” which will foster community-led events to collect items for impoverished. The goal is to ask people for help without forcibly taking from others. We will advocate for a credible messenger program to be established in the District 29 school system to allow Mr. Morsley to share his life of mishaps in hopes it discourages future offenders from traveling the same path. Mr. Morsley has developed his barber skills and will be working on becoming a licensed barber in NYS. Once he secures his license he will be employed at a neighborhood barbershop in Jamaica, Queens. We have a Master Barber already willing to sponsor this task. While in prison, he was a suicide watch companion and completed his drug education training. He will be instrumental in reducing the rising suicide and drug use in Black teens in the community. We ask for you to please sign this petition to give this person a chance at rehabilitation. He has paid his debt and recognizes his faults as a youth. Having someone with his knowledge of where troubled decisions lead will be instrumental in the reduction of crime in our communities.424 of 500 SignaturesCreated by We the Bright Lights Of the Future

Rename South Van Ness as Dolores Huerta BoulevardDolores Clara Fernández Huerta is an American labor leader and civil rights activist who, with Cesar Chavez, is a co-founder of the National Farmworkers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers (UFW). Huerta helped organize the Delano grape strike in 1965 in California and was the lead negotiator in the workers' contract that was created after the strike. Huerta has received numerous awards for her community service and advocacy for workers', immigrants', and women's rights, including the Eugene V. Debs Foundation Outstanding American Award, the United States Presidential Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Human Rights and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She was the first Latina inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame, in 1993. Huerta is the originator of the phrase, "Sí, se puede" (Yes, we can). As a role model to many in the Latino community, Huerta is the subject of many corridos (Mexican or Mexican-American ballads) and murals. In California, April 10 is Dolores Huerta day. It is also her birthday. For more information, see doloreshuertaboulevard.org1,393 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by sean s

Fighting for fathers equal rightsThis cause is important because Father’s are portrayed to be deadbeat because the state takes all their money and doesn’t help enforce their visitation rights. These systems were put in place to help the people and to work for the people but instead, creates a cycle that only benefits the interest of the state. It is important and time we get our voices heard and that changes be made. Shared parenting is the best interest of the children’s. Children need both parents in their life. If you’re going to enforce Child Support Laws, then Visitation laws should also be enforced. Families need to be kept together because it can lead to many mental health issues. We need to break the cycle of fatherless homes. The system needs to put kids first. Shared parenting needs to be the default parenting plan. The OAG should not take child support to the point where it leaves noncustodial parents unable to be able to live. Im asking for help from the Texas Government to let our voices be heard. Don’t tear families apart. Parents want to be a part of their children’s lives.197 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Marceaux Davis

Reschedule MDMA & PsilocybinToo many Americans are needlessly suffering from psychological disorders such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, and substance dependency. Science has proven that these drugs show great promise in successfully treating the above disorders, often with just a single treatment. Rescheduling these drugs would be the first necessary step toward a future where the number of our Veterans committing suicide, individuals with depression, anxiety, addiction are greatly reduced. Thank you.306 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Eric Hartman

Sandburg Elementary Before School CareParents and families need to be able to get to work before 8:30 am. With Sandburg Elementary being a "late start" school with doors opening at 8:25 am, families need an option to be able to drop their children off in a safe, supervised environment, as early as 7:30 am. Tell the district that we need them to provide a sustainable before school childcare solution to support children and families in the Sandburg Elementary attendance area. To date, the Madison Metropolitan School District has not offered before school care or paid adult supervision to ensure the wellbeing and safety of children.76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Katie Rozas

Nikki's Wolf Pack RescueMy dogs are my children, they are my ohana, and they mean the whole world to me. We have formed an unbreakable bond and the pack has not been the same since we were all separated. The Kona Humane Society broke the law, lied to police, and lied to me about my dogs whereabouts. They intentionally tried to keep my dogs from me, despite them being registered as emotional support animals that I have had for the last 13 years of my life. Every day gets harder to live without Keebler, Ayda, and Remedy and we all need to be reunited as soon as possible! Please sign my petition and share it with your friends.
