Children, Hunger, InoculationsI have no idea if this is feasible, or is against the 1st Amendment ( but it is my free speech), I think this is an option that should be considered. Our government needs to pay more attention to this looming double crisis as it will effect the country as Covid-19 has.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Margo Sinclair

Reject the May Proposal BillThe Governor of CA has proposed cuts to Medi-Cal. Physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy would no longer be covered as optional benefits under this proposal. This would mean that patients with Medi-Cal who have had strokes, spinal cord injuries, amputations, etc. would no longer receive PT as well as other rehabilitation services. • This item saves the State of California $5.6 Mil, but loses $14.2 Mil in federal matching funds we receive for this services. This makes NO sense. • These services have been proposed to be cut during past recessions, but this cut has always been rejected because of how critically important Physical Therapy services are in the spectrum of care. • Physical therapists provide including services to patients with joint replacements, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, injuries of all kinds, strokes, head and neurological injuries, burn victims, and more. • In effect, these services generate positive patient outcomes, lead patients back to their activities of daily living, reduce the complications associated with neurodegenerative and neurological injuries, improve patient quality of life, and guide patients back to returning to work. This is proven through evidence-based research, clinical practices, and patient experiences. • Cutting out these services will place patients in critical conditions, decline their physical and mental well-being, and deplete their potential to regain function and normalcy to become a contributing member in society If you believe there should NOT be any cuts to Medi-Cal funding for rehabilitative services, please sign below. This petition will be sent to the Senator who represents San Jose, Campbell, Cupertino, Monte Serano and Los Gatos in Northern California, but this proposal is a state-wide effect that requires you to contact legislators in your area/district as well.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kim Hoang Truong

Tell Our Senators to Support the HEROES in Our SchoolsEvery day we live with the threat of coronavirus, our children suffer. Many are watching family members and friends get sick and die. Most are losing out on milestones like end of year activities, graduation, sports seasons and time with friends. We need to get them back in the classroom and connected to the academic, social and emotional services they need to meet their full potential – but we have to make sure they are safe and the health of everyone is the school community is protected. And that means monitoring and testing everyone entering the building, extra disinfecting cleanings, smaller class sizes and extra supports for traumatized students. It also means boosting broadband services and supplying technology for the entire community for distance learning so no one is left behind. We know this will take more – not fewer – resources, and the House made a great start. Now we need the Senate to pass the recovery package with at least what the House has provided: Nearly $1 trillion for state and local services like public safety, healthcare, mental health and opioid treatment and public education, including at least $100 billion in direct aid to our K-12 public schools and public colleges and universities.9,479 of 10,000 SignaturesCreated by Pamela Bigelow, West Virginia Parent

No Bailout for Plastic IndustryI agree with the Fed Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell (appointed by the current president), that Congress must keep these millions of people in their homes with food in their refrigerators. This once in a 100 yr catastrophe is custom made for government help. $3T is generous and appropriate. Now we must keep the funds moving the country forward.198 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Leigih Emerson Smith

Graduation 2020 SHSThis is important to the senior class, because they have gone through so much this year. Spring sports have been cancelled, events such as prom, senior trip, and much more has been cancelled, along with the remaining school year. These students at least deserve to graduate together, not separately. If the staff truly believes 2020 is the vision for the future, then let the class see it’s own choice.460 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Maddy O’Brien

Evs and Food service workers without the proper PPE in hospitalsThis is important because there are several minorities testing positive for Covid-19 because they are not provided with the safest level of PPE as anyone else in the hospital and that is not fair! Everyone that is on these frontlines working and being in contact with people who are already struggling with underlying issues should always be protected, for the employees safety to have to be at work to feed their family all the way up to the employees who are being forced to work in these conditions and then bringing it home to their families as well!!!!96 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Monica Sanders

People who owe Child Support/TANF should get a stimulus check, we are struggling too!We the people are affected by this pandemic as well! If someone who owes the IRS, or the government in any way can get one, we should be able to get help as well! If someone is behind on child support/TANF it is the same as owing the government, why are we excluded? I understand we have the responsibility to care and provide for the children we created. However, we are out of work and struggling to make ends meet as well! We deserve help like anyone else!11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Heather Reynolds

Support the People’s Vaccine!Coronavirus is wreaking havoc across the entire world. Hundreds of thousands of people have already died (nearly 100,000 Americans alone), and the disease is spreading by the day. As long as vaccines and treatments remain unattainable, people will continue to get sick and die. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Oxfam has called on world leaders to come together, and take concrete steps to ensure that we find a vaccine for Coronavirus as quickly as possible. The leaders of South Africa, Senegal, Ghana, and Pakistan have already pledged their support to a People’s Vaccine, as has the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Gordon Brown. We are now calling on the White House and U.S. Congress to sign on and pledge full support for a People’s Vaccine. As per Oxfam’s People’s Vaccine campaign, the commitments include the following: A mandatory worldwide pooling of patents and sharing of all COVID-19-related knowledge, data and technologies in order to ensure that any nation can produce or buy affordable doses of vaccines, treatments and tests. The rapid establishment of an equitable global manufacturing and distribution plan for all vaccines, treatments and tests that is fully funded by rich nations and which guarantees transparent “at true cost prices” and supplies in accordance with need rather than the ability to pay. This would include urgent action to massively increase manufacturing capacity to produce the vaccines in sufficient quantities and train and recruit millions of health workers to distribute them. A guarantee that COVID-19 vaccines, treatments and tests are provided free of charge to everyone, everywhere, with priority given to frontline workers, vulnerable people and poor countries with the least capacity to save lives. If U.S. leaders signed onto this agreement, the impact would be felt worldwide: It would open the door for more leaders of Western countries to support this agreement, as well. We will undoubtedly quicken the process of finding treatment for Coronavirus by all coming together and pooling together resources and knowledge -- hundreds of thousands of lives (and possibly more) would be saved, and immeasurable pain and suffering will have been prevented.
