Dr. Daniela Small-Bailey WayIn 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 You1,595 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Tracey McCain

Reverse Supreme Court Ruling on Trump’s ImmunityThe United States does not have a king. Yet the Supreme Court's recent unprecedented and outrageous ruling, affirmed by six conservative justices, has given American presidents broad immunity from criminal prosecution—granting presidents the kind of extraordinary power that no one should have in a democracy. Now Democrats are fighting back. House Democrats have introduced a constitutional amendment to reverse the Supreme Court’s ruling that grants presidential immunity. Senate Democrats introduced the "No Kings Act," legislation that would make it clear that presidents do not have immunity for criminal actions. And in a sweeping set of recommendations to address Supreme Court corruption, President Biden has proposed the No One Is Above the Law amendment, that states that the Constitution does not confer any immunity from federal criminal indictment, trial, conviction, or sentencing by virtue of having previously served as President. When the Supreme Court has made disastrous rulings throughout history, it has fallen to the people and our elected representatives to correct the course of our nation—as we have with ending slavery, expanding voting rights, imposing term limits on the presidency, and so much more. Now it is incumbent upon leaders of both parties to right this wrong by pursuing an amendment to our Constitution to reaffirm that no one is above the law. The consequences of this ruling are grave. First, it halted the remaining three trials against Trump, denying the American people verdicts ahead of November’s election, and interfered with the sentencing after being convicted on 34 felony counts in New York. It also sets a dangerous precedent and opens the door for authoritarian rule, setting Trump up for consolidating power to do whatever he wants without any repercussions should he be reelected. Reversing the court's ruling will require a strong majority of support in both the House and the Senate that we don’t currently have. But while we are working to elect Democrats up and down the ballot to make this possible, it's imperative that we show our lawmakers that there is a groundswell of support for them to reverse the court's dangerous ruling. It's a critical step toward preserving our democracy and freedoms. Trump wants one set of rules for himself and another for the rest of us. We must demand that Congress come together to pass a constitutional amendment that affirms equal justice for all and that no one is above the law.

PINEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL GO BACK TO OLD DRESS CODEPeople 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!!!!❤️700 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Lilly Ogaard

Support the Detroit Child Care Zoning Amendment:The proposed zoning ordinance would make changes to eliminate unnecessary administrative burdens and fees for home-based providers, align Detroit zoning regulations for child care to similar business entities, and facilitate greater community collaboration for child care options to expand in a given community. High-quality child care is crucial to ensure healthy, thriving families, children, and communities: • Early childhood education sets kids up for successful futures with lasting academic benefits well beyond high school; • Child care enables parents to remain in the labor force, increasing household income, boosting economic productivity, and benefiting their community, while ensuring that infants and toddlers are in a safe and nurturing environment; and; • Availability of child care facilities and services helps communities grow by attracting new residents – especially young families – and businesses whose employees need child care options.80 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Detroit Champions for H.O.P.E .

Stop Book Bans in King George CountyNobody should be making decisions for parents on what their children can and cannot read. Currently, the KGMS library has a "sexually explicit" section which includes titles such as "Romeo & Juliet" and "Anne Frank's Diary". It is clear the intent is not to protect children but censor their access to themes and ideas they don't agree with. If you want to let the King George School Board and King George Board of Supervisors know that you don't agree with letting other people decide what your child may or may not read, please sign the petition below.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kristin Paulsen

Bring Michelle Carter Boulevard to Red Oak, TXDear 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.143 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Dominic Pryor

Take away phone policy in brownsboro high-school for safety reasonsAs I stated before it is important for us high-schoolers to be able to communicate with our parents for when we feel is necessary. I completely understand the abuse of phones, but as high-schoolers we are old enough to take the responsibility of our consequences for abusing our phones if we even do so.506 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Ace King

Handicapped accessibility buttons on all public doors, especially bathrooms.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.81 of 100 SignaturesCreated by pimpfessorm.d. Trejo
