Honor President Obama in San FranciscoThe City of Los Angeles recently honored former President Barack Obama by renaming a stretch of the 134 Freeway near Downtown L.A. in his honor. We request that San Francisco's administrators do the same by renaming the 500 block of California Street after the former president. This location, in the heart of San Francisco's Financial District, acknowledges President Obama's leadership during and after the Great Recession.137 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Peter Monks

Rename the street in front of Trump International Hotel: President Barack H. Obama AvenueSeveral cities are taking the initiative to rename streets in honor of our 44th president. Honolulu should do so as well. Changing Saratoga Road to President Barack H. Obama Avenue shows that the people of Honolulu value character over crassness.295 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Meg L.

End Late-Start Thursdays and Panther TimeRemoving late start Thursdays at Ray-Pec High School will allow the students to create a routine. After speaking with many parents, these late starts are creating issues with jobs, interferes with siblings, and can create an unsafe environment. Most students in high school should be capable of staying home by themselves without supervision. However, there are many students who are not capable of this. This petition could prove to the school the needs of the parents. The school says these late starts avoid having a teacher on service days. This is not true. They still have the same teacher on service days as all the other schools in the district. Panther time should be a privilege and a supervised activity. This shouldn't be something just given to students. Again, talking with parents of current and graduated students, their children got into trouble during Panther time because of the "free" environment. Students can sit anywhere and do whatever they want and if you go to the office to get your student they don't know where your teen will be. With all the school shootings, this is placing kids in harm's way. The last thing we need is to not know where students are. During Panther time students have snuck into places and have (by way of social media, NOT the school) been found to be doing inappropriate, non-school sanctioned activities. With teens, we all know the activities that have happened. Put the students' safety FIRST.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Concerned Parent

Tell the "Failed Trade Commission": Stop deceptive advertising for the Equifax settlementThe Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Equifax let us think we were going to get a $125 cash payout to settle an investigation into a massive data breach. But recently we learned they intended claimants to sign up for credit monitoring services and never intended to pay out $125 -- and now say they can't. The government is supposed to protect us from scams and deceptive advertising--but under the Trump administration they’re in on the con. Momentum is building to demand the Federal Trade Commission's Inspector General investigate this deception. Your petition signature can help show the FTC's IG that the public demands action and won't sit by while the FTC and Equifax mislead the American people.67 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

Thank you Governor Cooper for vetoing HB 370Dear Governor Roy Cooper, We thank you for your leadership and valor in standing with the immigrant community. As you said in your swift action, this bill is harmful and nothing more than patrician political tactics to scare our community. With this veto, you affirm your long-standing recognition that the immigrant communities are a vital part of North Carolina. We will continue to work with your office and our community to fight any more attacks against our families! Thank you, El Colectivo NC and the community94 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Walter Gomez
