School Board: Don't Cut Macon Early CollegeAs a student of Macon Early College, I know how much of a difference this school has made, not only to me, but to several other people who would not have had an opportunity like this. Our education should be top priority for the School Board, so why do they want to cut an important program like this? Please sign by March 15th! Pass it on!1,369 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Emily Ritter

Phillip Precourt Don't cut EducationEducation had been cut far too much in this state. I am a newly certified educator who is considering a move out of New York upon completion of my Masters Degree in August. This makes me sick, but I simply must go where I can get a job in my desired field. As a father I also have great concerns about the future of New York schools. Now one of the best in the nation, but with more significant cuts looming will the same be said in the future? Please consider cutting your pay and doing your share before curing from an industry that develops the future of your state. Do not let more and more teachers go unemployed.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Phillip Precourt

2,000 Sandy Victims Are Still Homeless-- They Need Affordable Housing Now.Hurricane Sandy exacerbated NYC’s affordable housing shortage. Before the storm, 48,000 people, including 20,000 children, were already sleeping in City shelters and thousands more were made homeless by the storm. Nearly 4 months after the disaster, more than 2,000 displaced families are still living in temporary hotels, SROs, and shelters paid for by FEMA and the City of New York. Thousands more remain in their affected communities, living in dangerous conditions or double-up with family and friends. The majority of these families were struggling to survive on low-incomes even before the storm. New York City established a “housing portal” to help Sandy victims find permanent housing, but three-quarters of applicants did not qualify, because their incomes were too low. After Hurricane Katrina, the federal government established the Disaster Housing Assistance Program, which provided affordable housing vouchers for low-income people made homeless by the storm. They were originally issued as temporary rental vouchers, and later converted to permanent Section 8 rental housing choice vouchers. New York City and other communities that were hit hard by Hurricane Sandy need similar support -- vouchers to get people out of shelters immediately and into permanent housing. These "DHAP" vouchers were authorized by the federal recovery bill (H.R. 152), but HUD and FEMA have yet to issue them. As Secretary of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, we call on Shaun Donovan to immediately issue affordable housing vouchers for Hurricane Sandy victims.1,260 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Councilmember-elect Donovan Richards

Coal Free MassachusettsCoal-fired power plants are the largest source of global warming pollution in Massachusetts. In addition, these power plants release mercury, a potent neurotoxin, as well as smog and soot-forming emissions that threaten public health. We should be shifting away from dirty, dangerous energy sources like coal and embracing clean, renewable energy to power our lives.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Danielle Falzon

NYPD: Ticket Deadly Drivers, not BikesAs pedestrian fatalities continue to rise, the New York Police Department has focused on ticketing more bicyclists, even while deadly drivers continue to speed and threaten the lives of pedestrians and everyone else on the road. Until New York reduces its car-on-pedestrian fatalities by at least half, the police should stop ticketing New Yorkers who are using one of the safest and cleanest transportation options around. If we can get enough signatures, I'd like to do some kind of bike-powered delivery to City Hall together -- so please share!642 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Duncan Meisel
