Berkeley needs to be #1 in Pedestrian SafetyThe city of Berkeley is number one in pedestrian deaths and injuries for cities its size in the state of California. Berkeley's policy of not citing, ticketing, and referring for prosecution even the most egregious cases had led to a free-for-all where drivers do not respect even the the most fundamental rights of pedestrians. Children, the elderly, and disabled people are taking the brunt of this brutality on our streets, many times even though the pedestrian is obeying every law. The police, the city and the DA's office do nothing.637 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Dan McMullan

Tell Food and Retail CEOs: Your Workers Shouldn't Have To Rely On Food StampsFast food and retail workers in Milwaukee are striking. Together we're launching the Raise up MKE campaign and standing up to the enormous corporations we work for to make sure they get a simple message: Workers like us should be paid a fair wage that lets us make ends meet. Most of us make $7.25 an hour – or just barely more. That means our average salary is less than $19,000 per year, which just isn’t enough to cover basic needs like rent, food, health care, transportation, and often times a family to support. A lot of us are forced to rely on public assistance to make ends meet. Fast food and retail outlets are the new factory floors, and like thousands of workers before us, we are organizing to demand better pay and conditions. Paying fast food and retail workers a livable wage will not only help us support our families, but it will also help strengthen Milwaukee's entire economy. When we’re paid a fair wage, we’ll have money to buy the everyday items we need, keeping the money in our community and making our neighborhoods safer. Here in America, everyone who works hard should be able to afford basic necessities like groceries, rent, and transportation for themselves and their families. Stand with Milwaukee's fast food and retail workers in demanding they get the respect -- and living wage -- they deserve.733 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Stephanie Sanders

Stop Keystone XL/FrackingThe Keystone pipeline and the oil extraction process is an extremely dirty and environmentally damaging way of removing oil. Fracking processes in general use excessive amounts of water that is permanently ruined by adding toxic chemicals necessary to separate the oil from other materials in the ground. Furthermore ground water sources are also polluted during this invasive process of oil extraction which contributes substantially to the pollution of our atmosphere.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by karen wilder

A Just End to the Guantanamo Hunger StrikeFor the past two months, an increasing number of Guantanamo Bay detainees have been on a hunger strike concerning unjust conditions in the camp and their indefinite detention. Now over one hundred detainees are on hunger strike and over two dozen are being force-fed on orders of the US government, a form of cruel and inhumane treatment. To help pressure the Obama Administration to respond to detainee grievances and begin the transfer of those already approved for release, a growing number of US citizens are joining in solidarity hunger fasts, too.227 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Timothy Murphy

Cardiovascular and neurology response teamsTime is muscle for a hear attack victim and brain damage for stroke patients. I would like emergency response teams to be deemed an emergency vehicle and would like the same respect given to us on the road on the way to the emergency to be the same as an ambulance or firefighter. This would envolve having a flashing light and be able to have the right of way on the roadways1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Luptowski

Mental Health FocusI'm writing this petition in regards to ALL POLITICAL PARTIES as well as the PEOPLE to get involved in knowledge as well as making MENTAL HEALH ISSUES a priority!!! The world we live in now is at risk every single moment of everyday with 100's of people affected by mental illness issues...my concern is the lack of interest/knowledge from our leaders and the people in this matter. I have suffered from severe depression for a long time...and have lived.through the traumatic death of my wonderful husband who took his life by suicide. Suicide is on the rise in many age groups due to the lack of awareness to the mental illness issue. We need to put this matter on top of the list in politics as well as everyday living!! We need to eliminate the stigma of mental illness issues and make the help more affordable as well available!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mary Young
