Sofurry: Ban Cub PornCub porn is a term referring to porn that involves underage characters, specifically children or toddlers. Though the subjects are fictional, this type of pornography is still illegal in many American states under obscenity laws as well as in many countries such as Australia. On top of being of questionable legality, even fictional depictions of child porn can be harmful. The viewing of any type of child porn by pedophiles can reinforce sexual associations towards children. This can lead to seeking of more extreme forms of child porn, including real images, and potentially acting upon these urges. Some child molesters will also use images of cartoon child porn such as cub porn in the grooming process of their victims. Cub pornography and its viewers are a minority of the users on SoFurry. On top of making the site safer and not supporting practices that can lead to endangering children, banning cub porn will not hurt the userbase. Instead it could potentially strengthen the userbase by including audiences previously alienated by and uncomfortable with the policy.51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anti-Cub

Stop Savory Salads Land Use VariationThe current industrial area located at and around 2910 N Arlington Heights Road is zoned as M-1 (research, development and light manufacturing). The change to M-2 (limited heavy manufacturing) would allow Savory Salads to cook and prepare various meat products, bakery goods and salads for restaurant and catering use. Food preparation attracts rodents....117 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Shawn Trawinski

Obama: Press Turkey to Stop Massacre of Syrian KurdsUN envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura has warned that 12,000 or so civilians still in or near Kobane, including 700 mainly elderly people in Kobane's center, "will most likely be massacred" by ISIS if the town falls to ISIS jihadists. De Mistura called on Turkey "to support the deterrent actions of the coalition through whatever means from their own territory," and appealed to Turkey to "allow the flow of volunteers at least, and their equipment to be able to enter the city to contribute to a self-defense operation." Urge President Obama and Members of Congress to do everything in their power to pressure Turkey to stop the massacre of Syrian Kurdish civilians in Kobane by signing our petition.9,300 of 10,000 SignaturesCreated by Robert Naiman

Stand with Philly TeachersPhiladelphia's School Reform Commission cancelled its teachers' contract with the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, with no warning, in a unanimous vote cast on Monday. I thought back to the time last April when I got the call: my 6 year-old daughter was having an asthma attack. “Take her to the nurse!” I told them, “the nurse has her inhaler.” “There is no nurse today, and it’s locked in her office. Only she has the key.” “WHY IS THERE NO NURSE?” “We don’t have a nurse on Tuesdays or Thursdays.” The reason there are no nurses in my daughter’s school two days a week is because of the School Reform Commission, run by Tom Corbett, that has taken away funds from nurses, libraries, and other activities that our children need and deserve. The teachers shouldn't have to pay for his bad deeds. We should be taxing frackers instead of fracking with teachers. We need to get the SRC out and take back control of Philly’s schools for our community.3,444 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Deanna Bell

Children should not be subjected to the inappropriate images on billboards. Stop allowing these ...I have 2 young kids and when my 7 years old daughter asked what was that scary image on the billboard, that's when I realized that our children are being subjected to images that are not appropriate for their age. This billboard was an advertisement for Halloween; it was very graphic and scary.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rosette Bruni

High Quality Public Education For All Youth in PhiladelphiaThe youth of Philadelphia are outraged as they continue to struggle for a fully funded quality education. This includes hearing the voices of students who are hurt most by these systematic genocidal policies imposed on them. The youth leaders of Youth United for Change recognize that budget cuts to full time nurses have left two students to die on the Philadelphia School District's time. We urge that folks stand up for what's best for the well-being of young people by returning local control of our school board to the education stakeholders of Philadelphia who care. We stand in solidarity with our teacher allies in reinstating the PFT contract. For too long, Philadelphia has not made decisions on education policies with the best intent in mind for students of color in our city. This has also been a district that has faced privatization attacks from right-wing school reformist experiments. We do not share this struggle alone as urban districts across the nation are under attack and it is time that this government takes ownership of the continuous oppression of youth of color at the local, state, and federal levels.192 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Youth United for Change

Healthcare for Millions of Kids at Risk"Sorry kids, no health care for you because Congress is busy not doing anything. Good luck!" Unless we pressure Congress to act, this will be the reality for families working hard to make ends meet. Millions of children risk losing access to healthcare coverage next year if Congress fails to extend funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). CHIP covers millions and it's helped decrease the number of uninsured children by half since it passed with bipartisan support in 1997. Families have enough to worry about. The health security of their kids shouldn't be one of them. Tell Congress to do the right thing and extend funding for CHIP immediately.25,613 of 30,000 SignaturesCreated by Camden Lee
