By the HCA taking immediate corrective action, and overturning this recent decision, interpreters would have access to more jobs instead of relying only on over the phone (OPI). As fellow DSHS certified interpreters who also cover ULS appointments, we ask you to support our petition to allow our brothers and sisters that cover HCA appointments to immediately return to work in person to be able to pay their bills, and put food on the table!

April 30th marks 6 MONTHS since the Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy (CORE) Act passed in the U.S. House of Representatives. The CORE Act is the most significant and broadly-supported effort to protect Colorado’s cherished lands, waters, and forests in a generation. This crucial legislation, sponsored by Senator Michael Bennet and Congressman Joe Neguse, would protect wilderness areas, clean water supplies, and wildlife migration corridors and habitat, while also creating sustainable recreation opportunities. Despite all the good it would do for Colorado, Senator Cory Gardner has yet to express his support for this crucial legislation. For decades, local communities have been supporting pieces of legislation and calling for protection of historic sites, recreation areas, unspoiled wilderness lands, and waterways and wildlife habitats through individual pieces of legislation. Senator Bennet and Congressman Neguse's work on this legislation recognizes the growing support for a comprehensive effort to permanently protect these places for future generations. The CORE Act would provide important protections for key watersheds, helping to safeguard pristine drinking water supplies for local communities, from the western slope to the front range. It would also safeguard headwaters, local streams, and gold medal trout fisheries like Blue River, Gore Creek, and the Animas River, which are enjoyed by anglers near and far. Further, the bill would preserve healthy wildlife habitat by protecting key areas from road building, new mines and oil and gas drilling, and other activities that would degrade wildlife habitat and watershed values. It would continue to safeguard backcountry hunting opportunities and important big game habitat on our public lands across the state, in addition to protecting habitat for black bear, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, sage grouse, moose, lynx, wild turkey, and the rare wolverine. We should all get behind these goals. Millions of people visit Colorado’s iconic public lands and landmarks each year to recreate and this bill would preserve access to those places for future generations to enjoy. Now is the time for all of Colorado’s elected officials to join veterans, sportsmen, community leaders, conservationists, business owners, county officials, and voters from across the state, in protecting public lands for the future. Sign this petition and demand that Senator Gardner defends our economy, our quality of life, and our health by supporting the CORE Act.

We, the youth of Maine, recognize that addressing the climate crisis in a way that will ensure a just and livable future for all will require addressing the root causes of the crisis, and making bold changes. Addressing climate change will require a new economy, a new energy system, a new democracy, and a new relationship to the planet and each other. It will also require rights to food sovereignty, expansion of human rights and rights of indigenous peoples, and solutions for the dignity of all people. Based on the science we learn in school, we know that we must achieve zero emissions by 2030 in order to ensure this future.

it is important to the community to be able to exercise and spend some time out of the house. It is also important to support the town of New Haven with all of the profits that the golf course will provide. It is also providing landscaping crews there much-needed jobs along with the stuff that runs the course. There’s no reason that this beautiful course is not open and abiding by the current laws to allow its local taxpayers to enjoy this magnificent course.

Truck drivers keep the country going; they are putting themselves at risk of contracting Covid-19 each and every day as they continue to do their jobs, delivering food, mail, paper items, cleaning supplies, clothing, along with every other product that keeps America from spiraling into chaos.

In view of recent protests, including at our Capitol, we the undersigned hereby support our Governor, Steve Bullock, in his courageous stand to uphold Shelter In Place. The economy will recover, but lives lost are gone forever. Protecting our families is of utmost importance. Meanwhile, please continue to seek out ways to help those hit the hardest financially. Please do not consider relaxing environmental protections. Without clean air, water and land, life will be considerably worse for Montanans who depend upon tourism, Montana's best resource.

A very high percentage of dogs are inside dogs and they needed to be bath, clean their ears, trim their nails, trim their sanitary areas and get a hair cuts to stay healthy and be inside of their homes. They easily get fleas, fungus, bacteria and mold on their ears, their poop sticks on their butty and more.

Collapsed economy. State violence. Food, medicine, fuel shortages. Blackouts. Sanctions. Threats of war. And now, the COVID-19 pandemic. Millions of Venezuelans are facing one of the largest humanitarian crises in the world. And the U.S. helped create this nightmare. Today we have a chance to join with a movement of progressive partners pushing to designate Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for Venezuela. Because luckily, the House already passed a nonpartisan bill calling for TPS for Venezuela. And now it’s the Senate’s turn. Are you ready to get loud? Ask your Senators to support S.636 calling for TPS for Venezuela NOW!

More and more healthcare providers are turning to telemedicine to ensure continued access to health care for patients while reducing the need for patients to travel to receive medical care, risking exposure to coronavirus. Both patients and doctors win in this scenario. Medication abortion, when a pregnant person takes two types of pills that induce an abortion before 10-12 weeks, can also be conducted under the supervision of a physician via telemedicine. It is a safe and effective way to broaden access to abortion care for pregnant people. And yet, 18 states force patients to travel to a clinician's office for medication abortion, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), despite the recommendations of medical experts including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, refuses to lift restrictions on mifepristone, one of the medications needed for medication abortion, that would enable providers to mail it to patients or prescribe it for pickup at a pharmacy. These restrictions are nothing more than ideological, anti-woman excuses to restrict access to abortion. The impact of these restrictions fall disproportionately on women of color, indigenous people, disabled people, and low-income folks. But if enough of us raise our voices and demand the FDA lift restrictions on mifepristone and that state lawmakers expand access to telemedicine for abortion, we can raise enough pressure to force the FDA and state lawmakers to expand access to abortion care and allow telemedicine!

We all want to go back to work! And need to! The gross mismanagement of the Coronavirus Pandemic throughout this year, the mixed messages, and the lack of a coordinated response to the facts has been fatal. We are sadly the Global Epicenter of this disaster, more cases and more deaths growing daily. This could have been stopped in its tracks! Just recently, the White House set out a phased plan to open the country gradually, to make sure that when people return to work they and co-workers do not carry the virus. Less than two days later, Trump tweets, 'Liberate Minnesota: Liberate Michigan: Liberate Virginia,' encouraging people to VIOLATE his stay at home, social-distancing phased plan, and stunning his pandemic experts and everyone else.This perverse outburst also had the effect of dividing us, by creating a group that feels empowered to defy the rules we have all been following.This is the worst possible dilemma in our brave fight for the survival of our society. Most of the Country’s Governors have told the Trump Administration over and over they do not have the capability to test a sufficient percentage of their population. The Trump team continues to distort the truth. Vice President Pence repeats daily that there are bountiful tests and labs available around the country'. The Governors say he is “delusional.” No one wants to go back to work, sit on a crowded bus, subway or plane, or go into a restaurant with the reasonable possibility that they will get sick and be hospitalized. Citizens must Protest! In our neighborhoods! We must be heard! Create signage for your window, car, or front lawn. "EVERYONE MUST BE TESTED! Write a letter to the Editors of your local paper." Talk to your local Politicians and Community organizations. Demand action. Write to the White House and your Congresspersons. Testing is the only path back to normal. SIGN THIS PETITION.

Gov. Kemp famously stated, "I don't give a damn about politics." What else would justify the premature opening of the economy amidst a pandemic? The current death toll from COVID-19 has surpassed 52,000 to date, 900+ deaths in Georgia and 22,000+ confirmed infections. Opening up the Georgia economy to include service industries such as nail shops, tattoo parlors, hair salons, bowling alleys, movie theaters and restaurants is the wrong thing to do. Without adequate testing, It is impossible to identify carriers of coronavirus which contributes to the spread of the disease.

Our industry needs to reopen and be recognized as an essential business so we can better serve our community. Serving one client at a time while wearing a mask (stylist also wearing a mask and gloves ) poses little or no risk of spreading the virus, as compared to 20 or more people allowed in a grocery store or other big box stores with little or no health protocols in place. The survival of the independent beauty professionals is at risk ! We are facing grave financial hardship !
