TRIBECA PEDIATRICS: Protect Small Babies From Anti-Vaccinators At Your PracticeWe have a four month old son. We love Tribeca Pediatrics and are philosophically aligned with their approach to pediatric healthcare in many ways. However, it has come to our attention that over 100 active patients at the Fort Greene practice alone are anti-vaccinators. We are afraid of the risk posed to our baby by sharing space with these individuals, particularly in light of the fact that it is when babies are sick and vulnerable that they go to the doctor. Some important context: We have raised our concerns directly with the practice. They were extremely responsive, and sympathetic to our concerns, acknowledging that there is some risk involved, but they feel they have a better chance of educating anti-vaccinators if they continue to accept them. They also explained that the idea of separation is logistically difficult due to space constraints. We started this petition in the hopes that if enough people express interest in their doing so, they will consider creating some system for separation, despite the logistical difficulty in doing so. This petition was started by parents in Brooklyn, but it is an issue that affects us all. If you have a kid who goes to Tribeca Pediatrics, or simply think this issue is important and needs to be addressed, please sign.263 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Pariserakos

Schain Mold and Engineering: Pay your workers a living wage!In the February 1, 2015 article that highlights the long and difficult commute to work that one of your employees takes each day, you celebrate his resilience and commitment to the job. You should be ashamed of yourselves for supposedly supporting this man, yet refusing to pay him a living wage that would allow him to commute to work easier and not commute for 8 hours a day. Commit to paying your workers a living wage now so that no employee has to spend 1/3 of their day commuting to work.28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Stergalas

Preserving the architectural nature of CharlestownA real estate person seeks to level an historical home and construct a modern edifice not in keeping with the style of the neighborhood. If he is allowed to proceed others can follow and the historical nature of Charlestown would be distorted.233 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Nancy Nichols Kearns

Make Vaccines Mandatory to attend Calfornia Public SchoolsI am a parent and a physician who not only cares for my own children but all others who are put at risk by parents who choose not to vaccinate their kids for nonmedical reasons. If we can ban peanuts in school because of one child, we can significantly reduce serious risk of infectious diseases to many more children.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lenore E Cohen

SUPPORT MY MISSION IN FEEDING THE CHILDREN Affordable Hydroponically locally grown 99% organic food.My part in the mission is to design, fabricate mobile classrooms that will inform, involve the children of all ages so that they will 'social network' and encourage their schools and parents to set up 'green houses' on apartment and school rooftops, balconies and backyards. The monies saved on good food will support solar panels and wind turbines which will power both the greenhouses and residences. The second part of the mission is to demonstrate to the traditional farmers that hydroponics/Aquaponics is the no-brainers of no-brainers. Less water, no pesticides, at least 15 times more harvest then traditional farming, LESS LABOR, less risk of crop failure. I have 87 acres in the desert to start demonstrating these points. My design will start at 70 times/square unit of earth compared to traditional farming. We have to return to 'ma and pa farms' with hydroponics and Aquaponics which will be profitable despite the climate changes. Take the farmland out of foreign hands since hydroponics does not use the farm land. Seriously, let's try something different. http://aquaponicscal.info/28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by frank maschkowski

Pennsylvania, Mother's against HeroinI am a parent who lost my eldest daughter to a heroin overdose. She was only 29 years old. We struggled through a system that is just not working to save them. She was on methadone for 3 years. We went every day...she suffered a horrible withdrawal in prison (I received information from inside verifying that). It was the worst 5 years, only to lose her in the end. So many families struggling. Something must be done!!! I am speaking out at schools and marching in Washington D.C. for the 1 year anniversary of the arrest of "El Chapo" Mexican drug lord.522 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Carol Smedley

Rick Scott - Pardon Marissa AlexanderMarissa Alexander was a victim of DV. Her husband beat her while she was pregnant. "After yet another beating, Alexander fired a warning shot, which traveled through a wall and into the ceiling. That shot saved her life. Prosecutor Angela Corey did not take into account that Marissa Alexander: Had a court injunction against her crazed husband; Had Given Birth 9 Days Earlier; Was trained to use a weapon and earned a concealed weapons permit." - http://justiceformarissa.blogspot.com/ She now has 2 years of home arrest, where she can pursue higher education and can leave for certain things such as picking up and dropping of her child, etc. But, she will still have a felony on her record, which will prevent her from voting, getting student aid for school, and could keep her from being hired, among other things. We are asking Gov. Rick Scott to please pardon her so she can have a completely free life ahead of her to pursue anything she wishes.117 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Brandi E Hudson

Reinstate My Home I & II Down Payment ProgramsThe My Home Program made the dream of ownership a reality for many families. Without this program many low and moderate income families will not be able to afford suitable housing. The insensitivity of county officials towards the plight of homebuyers was demonstrated by the manner in which the program was cut without advance warning. Hundreds of ratified contracts were voided resulting in the loss of upfront monies that had been spent on inspections and appraisals. Transitioning to Triple Play was not an option as the dollar amount offered by that program could not qualify the borrower for the home specified in their contract. Typical among those affected were single parent mothers with large families. This is a concern worth immediate attention. Reinstating the program is the only way to preserve the hope of home ownership for many and to prevent the monetary cost cancelled contracts.157 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Kia Coppedge
