Governor Scott: banning the words "climate change" is not OK.The Florida Center for Investigative Reporting recently reported that employees and volunteers at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection have been directed not to use the words "climate change," "global warming," or “sea level rise.” This news has drawn public outrage across the country. Instead of denying the urgency of climate change, Governor Scott should be leading the charge in renewable energy sources like solar. Please ask the Governor to acknowledge human-caused climate change and work to stop it!549 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Rasmussen

Teach Self-Defense in Gym ClassAs a female student at Lake Shore high school, I have many friends that have no knowledge of self defense and may get very hurt if they were attacked. Self defense is an important lesson that would make students much less vulnerable. Especially in today's society, college can be dangerous for some young adults with no street knowledge.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kathryn Hechtel

Delta Airlines: Oppose Discriminatory Legislation in GeorgiaWe urge you to do more to prevent "Religious Freedom" legislation from passing in Georgia. These harmful bills open the door to discrimination against Georgians, making Georgia unsafe for LGBTQ residents, as well as religious minorities and people of color. Last year, under your lead, Delta Airlines was instrumental in stopping these bills from becoming the law of the land in Georgia. As the state's largest private employer, Delta Airlines has a responsibility to it's employees, customers, and the residents of Georgia to do everything in their power to object to these bills. In the past, your company has shown a commitment to civil rights in the South, by investing over $1 million in the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, and sponsoring the 50th anniversary of the March on Selma taking place this weekend. While we value this commitment, we must do more to ensure that the civil rights of ALL Georgians remain intact. Please take a stand against these bills, and use your influence to urge other business leaders to do the same.396 of 400 SignaturesCreated by GetEQUAL

Dont have to participate in gym while playing a sport in schoolI believe if you are working hard in a school sport everyday then there's no reason to have to be involved in gym class. The exercise during the practice or game of the sport should count towards the physical activity of the required amount of gym class.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carlisle Pinter

Keep Desmond Working For YouA select faction of the Student Senate thinks Desmond's leadership style violates his oath of office. This petition tells the Senate not only that You believe Desmond works for you, as your elected President, but that calling for effectiveness of the Student Senate isn't cause for impeachment. Desmond wrote this in his open opt-ed piece to the Eastern Echo: On January 27th, 2015 I addressed the Student Senate during Presidential Forum. In the forum, I requested that the Student Senate focus more on student body issues. I stated that the Senate needed to stop focusing on internal conflict, and focus on improving the student experience for the student body. This is reflected in the Senate-approved minutes from this meeting, which can be found online at emich.edu/studentgov.284 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Concerned EMU Student

Florida: Stop Censoring Climate Change!Despite the clear danger our communities face from storms, flooding, and rising sea level caused by climate change, recent reports reveal that many government officials in Florida are no longer allowed to say the term "climate change." This misguided attempt to politically censor the very people in charge of making policies that will reduce carbon pollution and help our communities adapt to our changing climate isn't just outrageous—it's dangerous.66 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brant Olson, Forecast the Facts
