Former students, colleagues, friends, family and current residents of West New York, New Jersey, please join us in petitioning the West New York Board of Education to rename Public School #3 in honor of one of West New York's greatest teachers, Darcie Eckert Valencei.

Senn High school should promote inclusion and acceptance for all students. Yet, this year they decided to hold homecoming on the highest of holy days for the Jewish community. Sign our letter to Principal Holly Dacres to ensure that for all future school events, the Senn administration will commit to reviewing the interfaith calendar to ensure equal opportunities for all students. 

Without this therapy pool, generously underwritten by the Alice Tuohy Foundation, our quality of life is vastly diminished. The new pool under construction in Goleta will be wonderful, but it will be very difficult for many of us to make that journey. With our aging population, Santa Barbara should have no trouble utilizing two (2) therapy pools! Their are so few heated therapy pools in California, we feel each is a treasure!  Even if you are not now using the pool for therapy, you may need it in the future.  We hope you can find a way to make retaining the existing, wonderful De la Vina pool possible.

It is important that we protect the children and every single American who cannot afford to import foods from countries whose government is not allowing companies to poison their food. We need to force the FDA to do their jobs. their only job is to ensure the food and drugs consumed by the American people are safe. If the FDA cannot do their jobs, they need to be fired and replaced with someone who can. Robert M. Califf needs to answer why he is continuing to allow these companies in America and around the world to poison the food the American people eat. 

All US military personnel must be aware of how devastating Project 2025 would be for them. Major General Paul Eaton's film,  if posted on YouTube, will inform them of the devastating ramifications it could have under another Trump presidency.

Unless we get enough signatures, an innocent Missouri man is set to be executed tomorrow (Tuesday, September 24th, 2024).  The DNA evidence present on the knife used against the victim is not that of Marcellius Williams, and therefore, exculpatory.  Both informants stood to benefit from their cooperation with prosecutors, and that their stories sometimes changed or conflicted with other details about the killing.  Furthermore, according to USA Today (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/09/23/missouri-execution-marcellus-williams-death-row/75194051007/) during the Aug. 28 hearing, the retired prosecutor who handled the case admitted evidence was mishandled in the 1998 trial that could have exonerated Williams Please sign now so that Marcellius William's conviction must be overturned and he be exonerated.

Too many developers destroy ecosystems when it’s very easy and not costly to preserve green belts.  We rely on plants and healthy ecosystems for clean water, air, and food. Destruction of ecosystems puts stress on the public during inclement weather. It increases the likelihood of flooding and decreases forage for deer and other wildlife.  This was a valuable ecosystem with at least one federally endangered plant species. We will not know what we lost because this was never studied. 

Let’s show the administration that we care! 

LGBTQ+ people, people of color and women are core customers of Brown-Forman. Yet their leadership has said it's going to abandon DEI goals and plans for employees AND suppliers, cut diversity training and more. They won't even participate in a SURVEY about equality their workplace. In other words, they want to take our money and give nothing back. Our communities must stop drinking from this company until its CEO Lawson Whiting and Chair resigns and this company brings back its DEI efforts.

This teacher was an amazing teacher who made all students feel welcome and safe in their classroom. 

This former CHA Housing Development which was demolished in 2011, was a special place for many former residents named in honor of this courageous, nationally/internationally historic figure, a Crusader for Justice, Ida B. Wells Although it was called "the ghetto by some and projects by others", it was a closely knit, caring and protective community that produced respected educators, world renowned musical geniuses, a scientist, business owners, major league athletes, government officials, industry leaders and many   achievers with successful careers in this city, state and country.   Renaming this community park where many of us enjoyed leisure time, sports and family activities is our " collective contribution " to the memory and honor of Ida B. Wells for whom our housing development was named , a special place and connection to the land where our roots run deep...lest we forget.

The group JRock Development, which originally submitted the plan for the two phases of this development, went out of business between 2008 and 2010. The remaining lots were foreclosed on and sold to a bank. They were then bought by a builder who finished building out the neighborhood. Ridgecrest Road was never completed and only has a base layer. No one has assumed responsibility for this street. We are banding together to request the city accept this street as a public street, perform an assessment, and perform any necessary repairs. The road needs to be properly graded, and the street floods during heavy rains. The city no longer holds the bond the developer had to get as part of the approval process. We are in limbo and asking our fellow citizens of Calera to help us get the City Council's attention and ask them to help working-class families in their community
