• Oppose Project Aisle in Brownsburg, Indiana
    Town officials are evaluating an economic development proposal called “Project Aisle” that will allow a HIGH INTENSITY INDUSTRIAL FACILITY to be zoned directly adjacent to agricultural and residential areas at Ronald Reagan Parkway and E County Road 400 N. This facility is in complete opposition for the positive development and reputation of our town. - It will operate 24 hours a day/7 days a week. - It hosts parking/staging areas for 200 semi-trucks that will be on a continuous rotation on our county roads. - The primary structure will be up to 160’ in height. That is 50’ higher than our current water towers and 10’ lower than Bankers Life Fieldhouse. - This automated facility will only hire up to 150 employees divided between 3 shifts. Not a significant number based on its dramatic environmental footprint. - Property values will decrease due to noise, increased traffic and obstructed views.

  • A Choice and a Voice for Monongalia County Back-to-School
    There is much confusion among parents and teachers regarding Mon County’s re-entry plan for the 2020-2021 school year. The official release posted on 8/14 states that remote is no longer an option. But in emails sent 8/15, the board president states that remote is still an option, and The Dominion Post indicates that remote learning is one of the three plans sent to the governor on 8/14. How can both be true? The new plan (every-other-day instruction, with no remote option) was not an option on the Mon County parent survey but appears now to be the only plan available for families who want their students to be taught by local teachers. Additionally, the burden is placed on teachers, even those with families themselves, to bear the brunt of both remote and in-person classes. As a result, many families (including those of teachers) are reeling, contemplating leaving jobs and jeopardizing their livelihoods in order to provide the assistance their children will need in any of the remaining options, including every-other-day instruction, virtual, or homeschooling.

  • Let AOC speak longer at the Democratic National Convention
    The younger and more progressive Democrats are the future of the party. If there is a true desire to grow and build for the future then we need to have the younger voices heard. The Democrats of the past have so much speaking time but why only 60 seconds for one of the most relatable democrats for the younger generation of voters? It's way past due for the DNC to embrace the future. AOC is the future of the party.

  • More Conversations About Race-Based Issues In Ballet Studios and Companies
    This is important because even though open conversations like these can be challenging, ballet studios, schools, and companies should talk about the obstacles that race can provide in the ballet world and how to improve that in their community for the first step. Facilitating conversations around race, equity, diversity, and inclusion can be helpful in educating and getting people involved in the hope for eliminating racism. Racial equity is an ongoing process and conversation. Especially in the arts like ballet, it is indirectly nuanced so that BIPOC dancers are disadvantaged. The best way to change and promote racial equality in your surroundings is to have conversations that advocates for diversity and equality with people around you and use your voice to call attention to these matters.

  • Drive Up Ballot Drop Off Locations
    Due to recent concerns regarding the ability of the USPS to effectively and timely deliver ballots and the health and safety concerns brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are requesting to have drive up locations placed throughout the state of Nevada where citizens can drop off their ballots safely. This alleviates the concern with the USPS delivery times as ballots would go directly to a voting poll location. Contactless delivery would also alleviate concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19.

  • Return Our Mailboxes
    There are people at high risk from the covid-19 virus who need to be able to vote by mail near their homes. Removing mail sorting machines before the election might result in ballots that were mailed on time not being forwarded in time to be counted.

  • Elon-Help Save our Democracy: Make DeJoy Resign
    Our democracy is hanging by a thread, Louis DeJoy, the 75th Postmaster General of the United States is a member of the Board of Trustees at Elon University. It is clear that he is involved in dismantling the U.S. Post Office and interfering with the political process and the United States Constitution. He, and Elon, need to be held accountable.

  • MoveOn: Support overseas military APO addresses
    The most essential reason this is important is that it sends a signal from MoveOn to the U.S. military community that we are not worth including in their movement or campaigns. This in turn seems to reinforce the notion that the military is a monolith of conservatism, which is not borne out in the data, particularly amongst the younger, diverse, enlisted ranks (see: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-soldiers-really-vote/). Further, there are a large contingent of civilians, including teachers and other education professionals, living and working on military installations who exclusively rely on their APO address and are therefore prohibited from participating and receiving similar treatment as living in the U.S. and teaching at public schools. These teachers physically reside overseas, but retain a U.S. domestic mailing address through their APOs and teach at U.S. public schools. Then there is the matter of the USPS itself. Recently, MoveOn pushed a campaign, including a petition, to save the USPS from its current difficulties and threats by the POTUS to defund and disband the service. Those associated with overseas military installations rely exclusively on the USPS for their mail and packages, making it all the more ironic for those of us who supported that campaign whilst MoveOn continues to not support us through inclusion. MoveOn could do more for the USPS by including APOs than they might imagine. Don't exclude military and military associated personnel oversees from participating in MoveOn. The matter of adding APO addresses to the drop down menu and including our domestically-treated mailing addresses to the campaigns would be an easy, minor fix comparative to the gains of including those of us otherwise supportive of MoveOn.

  • Petition UPS, FEDEX and Amazon to collect and deliver mail-in ballots in November
    The hobbling of the USPS during the Covid19 crisis is an overt effort to suppress mail-in voting. We have to come to grips that the USPS will be unable to handle the time-critical mail volume that the Presidential election will generate, a deliberate effort to compromise our democratic processes. Please request the CEO's of these companies to help protect our democratic society by offering their services to insure mail-in ballots from anyone, anywhere are delivered on time and counted.

  • Protect our kids; Enable full distance learning for Kihei Charter School
    We ask you to act now. School is scheduled to start Monday, leaving mere days to prevent harm to our families and community. **KCS Students are able to sign this petition too. It was announced Tuesday August 12th by the state department of education that all neighboring island public schools will transition to full distance learning for a minimum of the first 4 weeks of school in an effort to support safety first for both students, faculties and ‘ohanas. After reviewing Kihei Charter School's reopening plan, the students, families and community are in dismay. We feel that the plan that has been presented to us does not put the safety of our children or community first during this world health pandemic and it does not prepare us for the near future. To understand why Kihei Charter School is able to resist the guidance of the DOE and other authorities, please read on. When it comes to operational decisions including whether to offer virtual, blended or face to face classes at Kihei Charter School, it is important to understand the difference between traditional public schools vs. Hawaii State Charter Schools. Traditional public schools are run by the Hawai'i Department of Education. In contrast, public charter schools in Hawaii are run by Governing Boards, under charter agreements (Charter Contracts) approved by the Hawaii Public State Public Charter School Commission. The Governing Board is different for every charter school. During this pandemic, even with the recommendations of the DOE & our Mayor, the governing board of Kihei Charter School still controls all final decisions on how they will operate throughout this pandemic.
