• Clear Falls High School Dress code
    Girls at high school are being dress coded and forced to change into longer pants because of Nike shorts, an athletic attire that most girls wear all of the time for comfort and because there are people in sports who require the proper clothing, i.e. Nike shorts. These shorts are not distracting to the other students in class, and the administration is inherently reprimanding girls by banning these shorts. They are wasting more time looking at our shorts when they could be using their time offering valuable education, as opposed to taking time to send girls to the front office and making them change clothing. High schoolers are tired every morning, statistically, teenagers need more sleep than any other age group. With this said, along with the rigorous AP classes and work every student is getting, people are tired. They wear Nike shorts for comfort. Nike shorts are not provocative in any sense, unless the administration is putting that incentive on girls.

    It's inappropriate for Micheal Selyem, a law enforcement official serving the people of California, to voice these views.

  • BMX Girls Are Experts, Too!
    My 6-year-old daughter asked me why girls aren't called "experts" in BMX. Not allowing girls to be classified as "experts" is an outdated gender-based stereotype that impacts the development of our kids. The girls in BMX should be granted the same honor that boys are granted after they work their way to the ultimate proficiency in amateur BMX racing.

  • Don't let the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade
    The stakes are high for women's reproductive justice issues. Many states, including Mississippi where I live, already have restrictive laws on how women can control their own bodies. Healthcare facilities are under attack, too. A new conservative justice will all but ensure a government attack on women's bodies. I grew up as a fundamentalist evangelical where pastors preached about controlling women's bodies through restrictions on abortions. A major turning point in my life came when a Catholic hospital refused to treat me while I was in the middle of a miscarriage because they considered it an abortion. They sent me home where within hours I almost bled to death. It was awful, and I am lucky to be alive today. If we're not willing to be relentless in fighting Trump, Pence, and McConnell in every peaceful way possible they will get what they want. They have already proven that by throwing out their so-called family values while looking the other way as Trump uses language unfit for even a high school class president. The Trump-Pence nightmare has already used the courts to hurt workers, families fleeing violence, the LGBTQ community, Muslims, and people of color so we have every reason to believe they will expand the assault to women as well. It's a core part of their identity. It's the regressive vision they have for America. Sign the petition telling the White House and Senate that they must hold the Supreme Court seat open until after the 2018 midterm winners are sworn in, and only then should they work together to find a fair justice who will protect the rights of all people in our nation including those who are protected by Roe. v. Wade.

  • Boycott Walgreens because of pharmacist refuses to fill prescription on religious belief
    I disagree with Walgreens policy of pharmacist not providing services because of religious beliefs and then not following Walgreens policy of: "You have a right to step away, but you don’t have a right to step between" I disagree with Walgreens policy, which is active in 6 states. Walgreens needs come out of the dark ages and respect a woman's right to control their own bodies. And not have male pharmacist deny them services I am asking for support by boycotting all Walgreens till they change their policy and/or fire/or discipline this employee

  • Women’s Health Rights
    Every year globally, 22,800 women die from lack of access to safe reproductive healthcare. We are starting this campaign because at this time, of the 40-50 million abortions performed each year, 45% are considered unsafe and 14% undeniably dangerous. We hope that through this petition, we can take a step towards a future where finding reproductive health care doesn’t come at a detriment to one's safety.

  • Revoke sales tax on feminine sanitary supplies
    Pads, tampons, and cups are necessary for women's health, if there are no taxes on food because it is a need, why should there be taxes on supplies which are pertinent for the health of women? Women are discriminated against because of their menstrual cycle, which is natural and uncontrollable. The amount of money that is added by sales taxes can make an essential product for women not affordable to those who struggle financially.

  • Suspend MSU's Accreditation Until ALL Past Abuse is Acknowledged & Remedied
    I started this petition because I have seen the corruption that exists at MSU first-hand. In the 1990s, I was part of a student government that attempted to raise the alarm regarding safety issues in the graduate dorm (these included a director who was trolling students for sex, insufficient night security that may have contributed to several sexual assaults within the building, and a Residence Life staff that failed to intervene in a student suicide attempt of which it had been warned). MSU responded viciously to our attempt to raise awareness--and a Vice President went so far as to threaten to out several of us as gay. Lou Anna Simon was Provost at the time, and she did nothing to stop this unethical conduct. I encourage signers of this petition to also sign and share the following, where one may read more on the topic: https://www.change.org/p/msu-still-ignores-its-past-abuse-of-gay-students-has-made-no-real-change-endtheabusemsu

  • Stop Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
    Recently in Connecticut, legislators passed the "Time's Up Act" which is all about preventing and combating sexual harassment in the workplace. However, in California, we don't have a bill like that. Although, Senator Holly J. Mitchell introduced a legislation that would require companies with 5 or more employees to take sexual harassment prevention training, ensuring that all workers know their rights.

  • Reject the abortion gag rule!
    The Trump administration is about to literally BAN the word abortion from the doctor's office. For clinics and hospitals that accept dollars from the Title X program--the nation's program for affordable birth control and reproductive health care--doctors, nurses, and other health care providers would be banned from providing, counseling on, or referring any patient for an abortion. Even if it was needed to protect a woman's health or save her life. Even if she asked. It gets worse. This doesn't just impact women who need abortion. If clinics refuse to comply with this proposed rule, the government will stop reimbursing them for treating patients who cannot pay. Eventually, that could shutter a clinic, ending services like birth control, cervical and breast cancer screening, and HIV testing for the entire community. This can be devastating--more than half of Planned Parenthood clinics are in rural or medically underserved areas where there are few or no other options for essential women's health care. But we can defeat this. The Trump administration has backed off harmful rule changes before, such as allowing employers to steal workers' tips--and it is accepting comments on the new proposal. If we generate fast, widespread outrage, we can force the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to back down.

  • Title X and Planned Parenthood
    I am a college student at College of the Canyons and the reason I am sending this petition to you is that I, as a citizen of the United States am concerned about the constitutionality of this act and am worried about the ramifications this act would have upon peoples ability to have a choice in how they live their lives. Below are the signatures of fellow students of mine that agree with me.
