designed to improve quality of life and showcase our public school, northline elementary spark park is envisioned as the centerpiece of our "healthy, wealthy and wise community" GO neighborhood plan- representing hope for our neighborhood's revival and inspiration for community unity. until only recently a food and medical desert, 77076 lacks a civic center, focal points of nature and public works of art- for these reasons, underprivileged northline elementary families are prioritized by the mayor's plan for additional parks and greenspace. the community is counting on the spark park and the spark park is counting on the skilled and compassionate leadership of our principal!

In the state of Oregon a renter can be evicted for being $1 short on rent by the 13th of the month; their landlords are under no obligation to accept partial payments, make payment arrangements, or drop the eviction if the tenant comes up with that missing $1 by or before their court date. The vast majority of evictions are NOT long and costly processes, they are the fastest civil legal procedure behind getting a restraining order, especially for non-payment of rent if the tenant doesn't have any reason to withhold (which requires carefully following several steps to be protected from eviction). For a tenant behind on rent, the whole process takes a bit more than 30 days from filing to lock out, though in most cases the tenant moves sooner than that to avoid an eviction going on their record, and it costs the landlord less than $200 in filing fees. The consequences to the renter, whose greatest crime is being poor or having a financial emergency, are significant. This is economic violence, even when we aren't dealing with a major public health emergency. But if we want to contain this virus and reduce the number of people who are critically ill, we must allow people to stay home from work when they need to without worrying about how they'll be able to pay their rent. No one is better off if people who should be staying home are coming to work, we need to do everything we can to make sure they don't have to.

In the absence of paid parental leave, families are often left to bear the burden of financial uncertainty. It time to make a change and band together for what every parent deserves.

This is not a REAL debate. Now that we are down to just 2 viable candidates for the nomination, we need a true debate where both candidates have the opportunity to challenge one another on their records and visions for the future. It is also crucial for us to see which candidate has the capacity and ability to withstand the pressure of a debate with Trump. This election is far too important to be soft on candidates now. CNN and the Democratic National Committee MUST give the public what they need and revert to a traditional debate format.

The Supreme Court needs intervention now. We want Chief Justice John Roberts impeached. The Supreme Court needs to stop helping Donald J. Trump. Stop allowing a criminal in the white house continue to break laws (continuing abuse of power), after Impeachment by retaliating against whistleblowers, using taxpayer money to fund his political campaign, break the law on Twitter repeatedly, offer criminals deals in exchange for pardons, and continue building a racist border wall that is killing people and that we cannot afford to build/maintain.

All our lives people tell women what to do, how we should behave, how we should feel, how we should express those feelings. Stop. Stop now. Elizabeth Warren is a strong, brilliant leader who has committed her life to working for America and America's families. We mourn the loss of her candidacy for President in 2020 and will celebrate and support her in each and every path SHE decides. Warren forever.

The big banks are trying to use the coronavirus as an excuse to evade the regulations established after the 2008 crash to protect us from their reckless behavior. Wall Street banks like Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, and Citigroup wrote to the Federal Reserve asking to get out of "stress tests" and capital requirements designed to ensure the banks won't fail in the event of a financial crisis. The stunning decline in the stock market and the impact of the coronavirus could create another financial crisis. Wall Street never wanted these rules. They fought hard to oppose their passage in 2009 and have worked hard to undermine them at every opportunity. Can you send a message and put a stop to this?

Manresa té una tradició esportiva molt rica, que s’ha posat de manifest en grans esportistes que han impulsat, amb el seu èxit, esforç i talent, el nom de la ciutat més enllà de les nostres fronteres. La ciutat pot ser reflex de tot aquest talent esportiu i donar-lo a conèixer amb orgull. Manel Estiarte i Duocastella n’és un exemple únic: considerat el millor jugador de waterpolo de tots els temps, ha estat símbol universal del seu esport; del seu club originari, el Club Natació Manresa, i de la seva ciutat. Nascut a Manresa el 26 d'octubre de 1961, Manel Estiarte va començar la seva trajectòria al Club Natació Manresa i amb només 19 anys va debutar a uns Jocs Olímpics i en fou el màxim golejador. En total, ha participat en 6 Jocs: 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996 i 2000, i ha estat escollit 7 vegades millor jugador del món. Amb un palmarès difícil d’igualar, ha estat campió olímpic i campió del món, i màxim golejador en 13 campionats. És considerat un dels millors esportistes de tots els temps. Més enllà dels reconeixements institucionals com són la Medalla d’Or de la ciutat, el fet que el nom d’un esportista pugui quedar associat a un equipament esportiu té una projecció molt important. És en els equipaments esportius on nens i nenes aprenen i practiquen l’esport, i on reben també valors essencials que seran clau per al seu creixement personal. La referència dels qui han estat grans esportistes pot representar per a totes i tots un exemple de reforç positiu. Amb aquesta finalitat, des del Club Natació Minorisa impulsem la campanya d’adhesions perquè les piscines municipals de Manresa portin el nom de Manel Estiarte i Duocastella.

Since becoming President Trump's Transportation Secretary, Elaine Chao has come under fire for scandal after scandal. Allegedly abusing her position to boost her family’s business in China. Maintaining her shares in a construction materials company, more than a year after she pledged to sell them. And most recently, giving her husband Mitch McConnell’s constituents special treatment -- reportedly steering millions of federal dollars to Kentucky while he faces re-election. The Department of Transportation’s Inspector General left his role while investigating these serious allegations. Now, it’s crucial that he is replaced, and quickly -- so that Chao is held accountable for her corrupt dealings. But who’s in charge of the confirmation process for the Inspector General’s replacement? Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. That’s right: McConnell and his wife are at the center of the investigation -- and yet, he has an enormous say in who gets to lead it. We need to make it clear to Mitch McConnell: the American people won’t stand for this conflict of interest. Add your name to tell him to recuse himself from the nomination process.

Help students, parents, educators, and concerned citizens across Tennessee bring back Drivers’ Education to public schools. Many families cannot afford to send their children to a private driver’s education class. As a result, it’s creating a barrier to obtaining a driver’s license, students who are passing the tests are still afraid to drive, and compounding this issue is the fact that rampant “texting and driving” continues to be a source of danger on our roadways. Teen-aged drivers, now more than ever, are in need of driver education and greater awareness of the importance of safe driving habits. In large cities and rural areas across Tennessee, there are young people who are involved in wrecks because of their lack of driving experience. The impact is higher insurance premiums for the public and more car accidents due to unskilled and inexperienced drivers. Accidents remain a leading cause of death for young adults in the state of Tennessee. Moreover, in 31 states there is a mandate for driver education before a driver license is even issued. This is public safety! Please sign this petition in support of TN House Bill 2443 & TN Senate Bill 2446 and pass on to 10 friends.

The US Senate, controlled by Mitch McConnell, is ignoring the rule of law, refusing to pass important legislation, and confirming unfit and incompetent US Judges and Cabinet Secretaries. Steve Daines is a supporter of Donald Trump's wreckless anti-environment, anti-worker, anti-woman, anti-public education, etc. agenda. Democrats must defeat Steve Daines and regain control of the US Senate this year. You are the best candidate to do that, so please seriously consider running.
