PRISONS HAVE NO AIR CONDITIONINGTX Prison Rehabs such as Henley, Plane, etc. have NO air conditioner for human beings... This is inhumane, not even animals go without air conditioner. These people work and go to school and classes to better themselves so they do NOT have to go back to these places again. They are trying to rehabilitate themselves, they deserve air conditioning..97 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Renee Clark

Remove Social Security earnings limits on widows/widowers and orphansI am starting this petition, because in 2017, after my then 12-year-old son (whose father passed away in 2010) spent 14 months in a Broadway show (which he of his own initiative auditioned for and got the role), I was told by Social Security that I would have to repay every dime I received to support him from his father’s death benefit, for both 2016 and 2017. (Also, in compliance with the law, he paid taxes on this death benefit and yet the IRS is not required to pay back those taxes even though we have to repay the money the taxes were taken from.) The earnings limit is particularly hard on people in the entertainment industry and other temporary jobs, because benefits can be removed for extended periods even though the working income received is short term. Also, the earnings limit is a violation of a child's civil rights because it is the only situation I could find where it was legal to force a minor child to essentially support themselves - that is Social Security considers their earnings as a replacement for their deceased parent's earnings. I thank you for considering this petition. Current earnings limits laws put even further hardships on already struggling families who have lost not only a loved one but their vital source of income. Social Security was designed to protect these families. Please sign so Social Security lives up to this promise and so future families in this situation do not have to suffer this hardship.1,121 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Maria Pontones-Bonenfant

Care More, Save San FranciscoPeople need our help and so does our city. You can no longer walk 25 feet in San Francisco without seeing someone struggling to find their way. San Francisco has the highest proportion of unsheltered homeless, counting 511 people on the streets for every 100,000 residents. There is suffering on our city streets; individuals with mental health issues, anger, depression. Drugs being abused in the middle of the afternoon while walking our children down the street. Used syringes littering our path. Utter filth. It is unsafe and inhumane to allow these people and our city to live so completely lost. We have a social responsibility and MUST come together to find the solution. The Government MUST listen and respond. We can no longer allow People to live this way. This is a public health crisis. One we can all change by coming together and making what's right a priority. Mission before self!12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amber Hazor

Speed bump at the corner of Floral Ave and South Main Street (Route 27)Many drivers on Route 27 speed onto Floral Ave during rush hour to avoid the traffic of town center. This is a blind corner and located in a residential area near an elementary school, so there are often pedestrians. The cars can't see oncoming cars or pedestrians until the last moment. This poses a significant risk to local residents.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jamie Rishikof

Restore Yermo Aranda's Watsonville Metro MuralReasons to restore the Watsonville Metro Mural originally designed and painted by "Yermo" Aranda, with the help of the community of Watsonville. By Jaime Sanchez This mural is historical and is part of a visual epic story of our culture presented in the unique language of the artistic vision of a great muralist. Yermo's murals are of the tradition of empowering the people and promoting balance between people and the natural world, including the land itself. The mural is done with excellent storytelling, connecting the history of the land and people with the modern day use of the life-promoting resource of public transportation. More than anything, this mural is about balance between people, animals, and the land. This mural is about safety and good times. It's about correctness. Some murals are designed to be temporary and more of these are needed until a mural with a universal correctness concept can be permanently installed. Some murals are no longer relevant due to our progress towards justice and correctness. Yermo's metro mural is not a temporary mural. It is one of a limited number of murals done by one of the first muralists in Watsonville. There are too many blank walls in the Pajaro Valley to be painting over existing murals. Some murals are destined to be temporary and some come down with demolished buildings, but the metro mural is already there, communicating our ultimate goal: correctness. The concept is already there, designed and coordinated: original art and all. Refurbishing this mural would produce the most constructive result. Restoring this mural would produce the most efficient, cost-effective, time-saving and aesthetically pleasing result possible.64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jaime Sanchez

Outsourcing of DERRY NH Unionized Health and Human Services DepartmentThe outsourcing of the HHS dept was done without notifying Derry residents of this important change. It was not on the agenda until the May 15 budget review and voted to be closed same day, vote 4-3. The union employees were made aware of this change, which does violate their contract. With that being said, both individual's major concern is the quality of care our residents in need will receive with this outrageous and abrupt change, especially since some government/state refunds and grants will not be available to the outsourced provider. Please sign and share to bring Health and Human Resources back to Manning St. The only requirement is YOU MUST BE A DERRY NH REGISTERED VOTER.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dawn Terrell

Don't Let Columbia University Close Haven AvenueUPDATE! Despite the community outpour to stop Columbia U. from taking over the street CB12 voted in support of this plan despite the fact that the traffic study was not reviewed on the committee level and the DOT Guidelines don't suit implementing a plaza at a site such as this. Many community members however are still determined to have this decision overturned or nullified! Continue to sign and share this petition!! The push to stop implementation of the Haven Plaza is about more than the potential 20+ parking spots that will be lost. There also is a plan to reconstruct the Riverside Viaduct between 150th and 160th street that will eliminate access to 50+ parking spots for over 42 months beginning this summer. Anyone who knows this district knows how stressed the parking situation already is. Long before this plan residents have been impacted by the following: 1. Parents lose quality time with their children, 2. Caretakers of the elderly & disabled lose time with their patients (or loved ones) 3. Hard working residents lose sleep searching for parking (many have fallen asleep in their cars waiting) 4. Residents and commuters incur costs from tickets they can not afford 5. Residents cars are towed and often damaged due to inability to find parking 6. Traffic cruising through our neighborhood pollute our air ... - All due to already congested streets! These institutions have already successfully taken over and eliminated a lot of affordable housing, commercial space and street parking in this district. If you are a person that is already or will be negatively impacted by this plan sign this petition! Let your voice be heard!468 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Ayisha Oglivie

Governor Scott, Federal Highway Administrator, Mayor Weinberger: Stop the Dangerous, Wasteful, ...Every Burlington resident gets hurt in the unsafe, dangerous wasteful $43 million design. This petition follows two years of grassroots efforts by the Pine Street Coalition and concerned residents. Public comment ended in 2006 with the design done when no Complete Streets Law existed, no best practices of today including roundabouts and cycle track. The neighborhood changed rapidly but the design did not!118 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Tony Redington

Governor Brown : Declare a Homelessness State of EmergencyCalifornia is facing an unprecedented emergency of homelessness, with 135,000 of our community members unhoused, and 68% of them - almost 100,000 - living unsheltered. Our state has 12% of the nation's population, but 22% of the nation's homeless. The magnitude of this humanitarian emergency and the human suffering it represents cannot be met by cities and counties on their own. We are the fifth largest economy in the world, but without a safety net in place, the current wave of prosperity has harsh unintended consequences for California’s most vulnerable. As with other recent tragic disasters that displaced and harmed huge numbers of Californians, this statewide crisis clearly warrants an emergency response, and we are calling for the State’s help. Governor Brown has the power to call a State of Emergency when there exist “conditions of . . . extreme peril to the safety of persons and property … which, by reason of their magnitude, are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of any single county, city, and county, or city. ” Clearly, homelessness is a state of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the State of California, and conditions have reached a magnitude that is beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of cities and counties alone. Governor Brown, we call on you to declare a Homelessness State of Emergency, to help California’s overwhelmed cities and counties provide emergency shelter, healthcare, and housing to those who have lost their homes.487 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Berkeley City Councilmember Sophie Hahn
