The University of Washington is cutting Teaching Assistants (TAs) in the College of Arts and Sciences. These positions provide the bulk of instruction at the University, and cuts undermine the core mission of our school. Stop the cuts now. Find alternative sources of funds to maintain education and scholarship at UW.

Every petition would brief is the governor's desk will reinforce our determination to stop dirty coal moving through Oakland. So I am passionately asking my friends – at least 20 of us – to send ours.

I am fighting for all mothers out there that flee their abusers and then lose the children to biased courts..I lost my 4 children to my physically, verbally and sexually abusive husband. The judge was a family friend. The evaluator Dr. Cuno was a father's rights activist and also worked with my ex father-in-law years ago The sheriff is related to my ex husband...but it don't stop there. Our kids are living our abuse since the protective mother is being abused. No one listens, DCFs turns their heads. Police do nothing because of kinship. These children are helpless to their abuser They fear to tell because he has a hold on them as he did the mother. You ask why do you stay? The answer is clear ....you live in fear...please save our children ..there is funding for father's rights but none for mothers. This is a violation of women's rights

The Obama administration plans to allow new drilling in the Arctic and the Gulf, risking our climate and communities. This is a huge step in the wrong direction. We need to keep fossil fuels in the ground and transition to clean, renewable energy. Additionally, bringing new drilling to the Arctic and Gulf risks another oil spill disaster, which would kill wildlife and harm coastal communities. We only have until June 16th to let the president know we don't support these plans. Add your voice today.

Public worker pension funds shouldn't be a piggy bank for Wall Street financiers. But that’s exactly what they’ve become here in New Jersey. Under Governor Chris Christie, fees forked over to Wall Street money managers have skyrocketed. His appointees over at the New Jersey State Investment Council (SIC) have particularly helped them profit. Through high-priced hedge funds and alternative investments, the SIC has handed Wall Street well over a BILLION dollars to manage less than one-third of the state’s pension funds. Even worse is that taxpayers are paying these outrageous fees to get nearly the same exact returns as if we’d never placed pensions in these hedge fund managers’ hands. In 2015 alone, the New Jersey State Investment Council paid $728 million in fees and bonuses to Wall Street firms to manage less than a third of pension investments. The year before, Wall Street raked in $600 million in fees and bonuses. That’s $1.3 billion of the hard-earned retirement of nearly 800,000 active and retired public employees in New Jersey being doled out to Wall Street in just two years. Reducing New Jersey’s investment in these pricey funds and spending more prudently could save taxpayers $20 billion over the next 30 years. That will not only make pension plans healthier, but also save the taxpayers billions of dollars in contributions to the plans. On Wednesday, May 25th, the SIC will vote on how to allocate the state’s pension funds for the next year. Send the SIC a message: Public worker pension funds shouldn't be a piggy bank for Wall Street financiers. Stop giving pension money to Wall Street hedge funds now.

Civil Rights and the Students of PISD deserve a discrimination-free school district!

Nestlé is known for depleting water supplies. I care about my state and the people in it. Arizona is already struggling with a drought and a rapidly growing population. The last thing Arizona needs is further strain on its precious water supply.

Guatemala's government has acted aggressively towards peaceful Belizeans in Sarstoon area and continues with its unfounded claim to Belizean territory. A temporary ban on importation of goods and services from Guatemala is proposed until such time that Guatemalan aggression ceases in Sarstoon area and peaceful Belizeans are able to travel unimpeded to Sarstoon Island.

Trump has gotten away with telling the public that his taxes are none of your business. It is our business to know how he ran his business, what tax rate he paid and where his charitable contributions were.

This petition was created to help show Legislative Hall the public support for passing the Homeless Individuals' Bill of Rights. This bill would give equality back to those facing homelessness. This bill will help stop the discrimination happening everyday to those in our communities who are trying to get through a rough patch in their lives. It would also help give the homeless a foundation to stand on to get back on their feet. You can read the bill here to better understand the difference this would make for them. http://legis.delaware.gov/LIS/lis148.nsf/vwLegislation/SS+1+for+SB+134/$file/legis.html?open

Over 30 low-income families, nearly all of them Latino, are threatened with mass eviction by the Kittitas County, WA, Board of Commissioners, who have signed a purchase-and-sale agreement for the Shady Acres (Shady Brook) mobile home court and announced plans to evict or relocate all residents, in order to build a seasonal RV parking lot for the adjacent County Fairgrounds and Events Center. Most families own their manufactured houses, but these homes are old and cannot be safely moved. Housing specialists explain there is simply not sufficient affordable housing in the county to house these low-income families, who may face homelessness and destitution. It is vital that this tightly-knit, multigenerational community, in which residents provide a great deal of mutual support, be kept intact. Once the county announces the shut down of the park, residents legally have only 12 months to find new housing.
