Rename the Woodrow Wilson BridgeWoodrow Wilson was a known racist and xenophobe. He should not be praised as a great leader of the United States, he was the first to show a racist KKK movie in the White House. He also resegregated of multiple agencies within the Federal government. Wilson was also a confederate sympathizer and defender of the KKK.59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Candace Walls

No Republican Convention in JacksonvilleWe are in the middle of a pandemic. It's not just the people signing consent forms acknowledging the risk of COVID-19 via the Trump website who will be impacted by a massive convention. Those traveling to the convention will be interacting with locals who work at hotels, bars, restaurants, gas stations, and stores. Those attending the convention and working at the convention could potentially bring COVID-19 back to their communities. The COVID-19 confirmed cases in Florida have jumped drastically since the beginning of May. We in Jacksonville shouldn't have our health and safety threatened for politics. It is the job of the Florida governor and the Jacksonville mayor to protect the citizens, both those who did and who did not vote for them.802 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Alissa Marquardt

We could of walked away anytime and gotten another job and we STAYED.133 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Shelly Veitch

LOVE to replace Robert E. Lee statueThe current statue is an idol of bigotry, racism, and cruelty. It is a sign that screams to people of color that our state still holds on to the ideals of the confederacy. Virginia is for lovers of all things so we should be welcoming to all races. We need peace, hope, and love to heal our city and our state. But the most important of all of these is LOVE.40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amanda Ashby

Community support for PCAThe benefits of a small school go far beyond academic achievement and test scores. Small schools are able to tailor instruction to meet the needs of individual students while also fostering leadership and social-emotional skills. During this uncertain time, it is so important to be able to nurture our students further and pray that Christ continues to guide them on their educational paths! Please, consider allowing Pythagoras Children's Academy to expand and serve our existing community!103 of 200 SignaturesCreated by St Demetrios PPO

The head of Buffalo’s police union is threatening the city & defending police violence—he has to go.John Evans recently announced that police are no longer proactively doing their jobs because they don’t have “any support from the administration,” and that it’s the reason for a recent spike in shootings in Buffalo. He’s effectively trying to hold the city hostage. It’s outrageous, and it’s a classic tactic of out-of-control police unions, reminiscent of organized crime: stop holding us accountable, or we might not protect you. This is just the latest from John Evans — he and his supporters in the police department are already under major scrutiny. Many of us have seen the video from June of riot police in Buffalo pushing down a 75-year-old man and leaving him bleeding on the ground. The police department’s initial statement — before the video surfaced — said he “was injured when he tripped & fell.” After the video came to light and the officers who pushed him were suspended, 57 officers from the same riot response team resigned from that unit — not to protest the violence, but to actually SUPPORT the officers who committed it, and to protest their suspension. It turns out they weren’t acting on their own — it was John Evans who pressured them all to resign, and he threatened to stop supporting them if they refused. Just a few weeks later, Evans is now coming to the defense of Lieutenant Mike DeLong, a Buffalo officer who was just suspended for harassing a woman on camera, calling her a “little f***ing c***,” and threatening to come to her workplace. After the incident, officers followed the woman and pulled her car over — a clear intimidation tactic. Evans says DeLong was “caught in a weak moment,” that he knows DeLong well, and “I don’t think you’ll see Lieutenant DeLong involved in anything like that again.” But in reality DeLong has a long history of misconduct, including 36 complaints made against him (with 13 related to use of force), he’s been suspended four times (including in 2018 for an “off-duty domestic” incident), and likely avoided discipline on many other occasions with the help of the police union John Evans leads. Defending police misconduct is nothing new for Evans. In 2016, he wrote a blog post blaming the victims of police brutality: “Comply with our orders and you won't get yourself killed. Enough!!!” The post went on to excuse several high profile police killings of Black men: “The Alton Sterling incident was a necessary, justified, use of force. That and the Michael Brown and Eric Garner incidents were clearly avoidable, had they complied with the Police Officers.” Black Lives Matter protesters confronted Evans and demanded that he take the post down; he refused. Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said “The Buffalo police union is on the wrong side of history … They have been a barrier to further police reform in the city of Buffalo, and that barrier that the police union presents needs to be addressed.” He’s right — if we want to transform policing, it’s time to confront police unions everywhere. Join us in demanding that Buffalo’s political leaders, police leadership, and rank and file police officers denounce Buffalo Police Benevolent Association president John Evans and publicly call for his removal as president of the Buffalo PBA.7,823 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by James Rucker

Change the name of Jefferson Davis HighwayThe highway name has been a constant in the Richmond community for generations, and shares the name of the man who spearheaded a movement that broke away from and fought against this country to keep African Americans in chains for monetary advancement. Statues being removed from the city are only one step in the right direction, but it does not have to stop there. Jefferson Davis Highway is a remant of a past history that the people of today are fighting to correct. The name itself is still a symbol of the years of racial injustice that African Americans and other minorities still experience to this day. With the changing of the highway's name, the people of Richmond and the surrounding areas can take another small step towards racial equality and true peace.121 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Marcus Tyson
