Chase Bank minimum balance feeChase Bank has a 'minimum balance' fee of $12/month for accounts with a balance under $1500, a practice that in many African countries has been deemed illegal due to its discrimination against the impoverished. A person making minimum wage in America only makes $1200/month before taxes. We're calling on Chase Bank to stop robbing the poor and impoverished by dropping the monthly minimum fee.76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Cahillane

Tufts: Accept Credits From Baha'i University in IranThe Baha'i Community of Iran, the largest religious minority of that country, has been undergoing persecution from the government for many years now. A plethora of methods have been used by the government of Iran in pursuance of their goals, including arbitrary arrest, unlawful trials, executions, confiscation of land, businesses, pensions, etc. The most recent of these has been the denial of the right to education to young Baha'is. Specifically, they are barred from universities simply because of their religious beliefs, and when they tried to initiate their own educational programs, they are attacked. This past May, the Baha'i Institute for Higher Education (BIHE)--a community sponsored institution that sought to offer an education to the young Baha'is who were otherwise denied entry into a university---was the latest victim. Professors and administrators have been incarcerated, material has been confiscated, and the institution has been closed. Their crime? To educate deprived youth who long for an education. Wouldn't we all be guilty? We at Tufts, who are enjoying this inalienable right, would do well to join the growing international academic community---students, professors, administrators---who have voiced their opposition to such injustice and are working to stop this oppression. We invite you to sign this petition so that Tufts University will join the many universities in the US and around the world who have voiced their concern and have taken the concrete steps of accepting BIHE credits so that those BIHE students who were not able to finish their education can have an opportunity to apply to Tufts to continue their academic careers.40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Navid Shahidinejad

Eliminate unfair Denver parking ticketsSign my petition and let's help limit all Denver Parking Bureau tickets to $15 or less. It's astounding the amount of money they suck out of hard-working people for nonsense, revenue gaining offenses. Let Denver mayor Michael B. Hancock know how absurd parking tickets in Denver have become.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Casey Buckler

Stop Taking Our PropertyWe must stop Wall Street and Banks from taking our homes. Write down all Underwater mortgages to current market value, reduce the interest rate and provide us with fixed monthly payments. Families are being torn apart, children and seniors are suffering. People are dying and Banks are slow to respond if they respond at all.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sue
