While we all have priorities that supersede removing Trump from office, like Health Care, Minimum Wage, Climate Change, Income Disparity etc, we cannot pass these programs as long as Trump occupies the White House and the intransigent, sycophantic Republicans control the Senate. Send a message to Speaker Pelosi and sign this petition!

May 8 the Honolulu City Council will take a final vote on Bill 85 to enforce zoning laws and shut down illegal vacation rentals. They will also take a final vote on Bill 89 which has the same enforcement measures but also gives out permits to a set percentage of the houses in each development district to do vacation rentals in a home with a home owner tax exemption. Those who win the lottery and get the permits will get first dibs on renewing every two years, creating a priveleged group who will benefit financially while the property values and quality of life of their neighbors goes down. We need proven enforcement first with Bill 85 before considering additional permits in residential zones. Please comment on the form. WHERE THEY STAND -- CALL THEM OUT! Yes! BILL 85 - enforcement only No! BILL 89 - enforcement and new permits Brandon Elefante, 768-5008, [email protected] (Not clear where he stands - call him!)

As stipulated in the Constitution of the World Health Organization, “The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.” Furthermore, the UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/70/1 stated, “As we embark on this great collective journey [toward the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development], we pledge that no one will be left behind.” While Taiwan was not invited to attend the World Health Assembly either in 2017 or 2018 as an Observer, it has sought to participate in technical meetings, mechanisms, and activities of the WHA and World Health Organization for many years. To this end, Taiwan has won the understanding and support of many nations, which have taken concrete action backing Taiwan. We will continue our effort to ensure the health and wellbeing of the 23 million people of Taiwan as well as of the whole human race. Taiwan’s participation can help WHO to establish a sound global health system. In recent years, Taiwan has successfully transformed its role on the international stage from aid recipient to assistance provider. It has established a comprehensive disease prevention system and organized numerous training workshops aimed at building capacity to prevent diseases in the Asia-Pacific and Southeast Asia, thereby facilitating collective efforts to strengthen global health security. Meanwhile, Taiwan needs the WHO to protect the health of its own people as well as those in the region and the entire world. Through its participation in the WHA and the WHO, it could share its experience with other countries, make timely reporting and acquire information on diseases, and play a constructive role in global health protection. This would create a win-win scenario for Taiwan, the WHO, and the world community. In the future, Taiwan will continue to seek participation in this year’s 72nd WHA as well as WHO technical meetings, mechanisms, and activities. This will help ensure the complete early realization of WHO’s vision of health as a human right. (CHINESE TRANSLATION BELOW) 支持臺灣參與「世界衛生組織」(WHO) 及2019年「世界衛生大會」(WHA) 我們誠懇呼籲世界衛生組織（WHO）及總幹事Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus， 基於下列考量，請慎重考慮發出邀請函給臺灣，讓臺灣參與「世界衛生組織」(WHO) 及今年五月下旬在瑞士日內瓦召開之第72屆世界衛生大會（WHA）。 依據《WHO憲章》，「享受最高而能獲致之健康標準，為人人基本權利之一。不因種族、宗教、政治信仰、經濟或社會情境各異，而分軒輊。」 且「在踏上這一共同道路 (達成2030永續發展議程)時，我們保證，絕不會遺漏任何一個人。」《聯合國大會第A/RES/70/1號決議》 2017年及2018年臺灣雖未能受邀以觀察員身分出席WHA，但多年來臺灣積極爭取參與WHA及WHO相關技術性會議、機制及活動的訴求，已獲得越來越多國家瞭解及支持，並以具體行動助我。為了臺灣2,300萬人及全人類的健康，我們將持續努力。 臺灣的參與可以幫助WHO建立健全的全球衛生體系。近年來，臺灣已經成功的從一個國際援助的接受者轉變成為國際援助的提供者；現已建構完善的防疫體系，並辦理多場國際訓練營，以提升亞太及東南亞地區防疫量能，共同強化全球衛生安全。同時，臺灣也需要WHO，以守護臺灣、區域乃至全人類健康。臺灣參與WHA及WHO，將可與各國分享經驗，即時通報、取得疾病資訊，以及對全球衛生做出重要的貢獻，並達成臺灣、WHO與國際社會的多贏局面。 未來，臺灣將持續爭取國際社會之認同，秉持「專業、務實、有貢獻」之原則，持續積極爭取參與今年第72屆WHA及WHO相關技術性會議、機制及活動，以促成WHO「健康是基本人權」願景之早日實現。

Green Mountain College, “FIRST IN SUSTAINABILITY” has a well-deserved reputation as a leader in sustainability: https://www.greenmtn.edu/about/why-gmc/awards-accolades/ The entire campus is heated with a wood chip gasification technology to create steam that warms all the buildings. They can also use this steam to create their own electricity. It has a working farm complete with animals, greenhouse, and solar panels. The beauty of the campus, the student culture, and dedication to all the different aspects of sustainability would be a great loss for the town of Poultney and the region. It would also be a great loss to all the hardworking folks everywhere trying to save our planet. They also have some great masters degrees: Master of Science degree in Resilient & Sustainable Communities (MRSC) Master of Science in Sustainable Food Systems

The superdelegate process is undemocratic and allows for party leaders and insiders to undermine the will of the people. In 2016, we saw how the will of RIers was tossed aside as Hillary Clinton won the most votes, even though she overwhelmingly lost the election here in RI.

Wells Fargo has many banks in Lubbock Texas and yet they choose to close our ONLY bank in a predominantly Black community. We have no other banks!!

This petition was created to help end female genitalia mutilation in The United States. As of right now, FGM is still considered legal in states across the USA and affects girls of all ages. We want to put a federal ban, as well as a state ban to ensure this cruel and barbaric practice is ended.

Hundreds of students are affected about not having a room for the upcoming school year and it's not fair for the students who have been here already. This is not right

The 68 support staff employees who work in the St. Mary's public schools deserve a living wage and salaries and benefits comparable to similar jobs in surrounding districts. The school board's negotiations team has threatened to terminate them and to hire an out-of-town for-profit corporation. These employees are only about 3 % of the district's budget. These are our friends, neighbors and family members. Tell the school board to stop trying to intimidate these dedicated employees and to settle a fair contract NOW.

As of lately, I have begun to notice that students who often complain of a bad sleep schedule have not been doing as well academically and to me, the correlation is clear between the two.

To take this corrupt politician out of office for good.

South Carolina has a higher than recommended cesarean birth rate. Doula care has been shown to effectively reduce the incidence of cesarean birth, preterm birth, and maternal/infant mortality. Let's help make this care available to all women, regardless of their socio-economic status.
