Help me convince my friend to fix his PS4I am starting this petition because I want to help my lazy friend fix his PS4 so he can download the games he bought, and we can finally play together. He doesn't want to buy a new one, the warranty is expired, and we live too far apart for me to come over and provide guidance. So if I can get assistance in convincing him to fix his PS4, Y'all would be helping a brother out and that would be greatly appreciated.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brandon

The vote by the Board of Commissioners to move the library is scheduled to take place on March 12, 2019, at 7:00 pm in the township building. We strongly encourage everyone to attend this important meeting. We also urge everyone to reach out to their Commissioner with their own letter using the contact information we have provided.

Change GPD Policy to protect Non-US Citizen Victims and Witnesses of CrimeFor the past ten months members of the North Central Florida Social Service/HIspanic Alliance (NCFSS/HA) have attempted to address an incident that occurred Easter Sunday 2018 (4/1/2018) impacting the immigrant community. On Easter Sunday the Gainesville Police Department (GPD) blundered in its response to a domestic violence case. A call was made from a non-English speaker, explaining her fear at the hands of her companion’s abuse. GPD made poor choices and the following unraveled: -The appropriate translation was not obtained even though GPD has a language line available to use in policing. This led to a misinterpretation of the level of danger the abuser posed. -Due to the misinterpretation of the level of danger and in an inappropriate and unnecessary use of force, SWAT was mobilized, closing down a residential street where the domestic violence incident occurred. -Contrary to protocol, the victim was not provided a Victim’s Advocate and was brought into the police station for an interview. -News media went on to expound on immigrant status, based on statements made by GPD that were harmful for the safety of the victim and witnesses. -The physical address of the domestic violence victim was made public on GPD Facebook, contrary to protocol. In response to the domestic violence incident, GPD spokesperson Ben Tobias announced: -The location of where the abuse occurred. -That the situation involved “illegal” Guatemalans. Although Tobias stated to the NCFSS/HA that he never asked their status, he made the statement based on an assumption that they were “illegal”. -Investigators were “working to verify the status of the Guatemalan nationals involved in the incident. We will forward all pertinent information we discover to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” The outcome of the domestic violence case is as follows: -The survivor fled the area immediately after being interviewed by GPD and without having received Victim Advocate support. -Several witnesses to the case also fled the area for fear of reprisals by ICE and anti-immigrant sympathizers. -Due to the poor management of the case; there were no victims or witnesses to participate in prosecution. The accused perpetrator was also released back into our community. Both the Chief of Police and the Mayor vowed to correct the situation by rewriting and updating police policy to protect victims and witnesses of crime who are not English-speaking and/or not US Citizens. From a Gainesville Sun article published April 3rd, 2018: [GPD Chief Tony Jones said Tuesday afternoon the agency will change the last part of the policy regarding forwarding the information to federal agencies. He added other aspects of it, including officers noting their contact with a foreign national in their reports, may also be changed. “We’re changing the policy. Everything is in flux right now,” Jones said. “When you change a policy, there are some hurdles you have to go through.”] Mayor Poe posted on his Facebook page the same day: “This is not who we are. Please know that I was led to believe that we, as a police department, did not get involved with determining the immigration status of our residents. I was misled. I will address this issue at our regular meeting on Thursday and make sure that this policy is changed. This type of approach is contrary to our community policing model and has a significant chilling effect on our victims' ability and willingness to report crimes, including domestic violence and battery. We have to do better, and I will make it my top priority that we do. We need to embrace this brave woman, not threaten her with deportation. I am sorry, Gainesville. I will work to serve you better.” Ten months have passed and there has been no tangible action. Over the course of the past ten months members of the NCFSS/HA have spent countless hours meeting with the Chief, revising policies, meeting with elected officials, the City Manager and City Attorney. Since October 2018, GPD has ceased communication with the NCFFSS/HA, not returning calls and emails requesting to meet.249 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Veronica Robleto

Make the 2020 Census count -- NO citizenship questionLast week, the Supreme Court announced it would decide whether the Trump administration can add a question about citizenship status to the 2020 Census questionnaire -- which will be sent to every household in the nation next year. The Court’s decision could have serious, lasting consequences. Experts suggest that including such a question would discourage legitimate responses, especially from communities of color -- leading to an inaccurate count. Getting this count right is critical to making sure our government works for everyone. The Census shapes our nation’s democracy, public policy, and funding for an entire decade. It determines everything from congressional districts to local resource allocation -- like school funding, the number of fire houses in our neighborhoods, and highway and road repair budgets. It’s up to us to tell the Supreme Court loud and clear that We the People deserve a fair, unbiased Census in 2020. Let's show that Americans nationwide are ready to make sure that we all count. Add your name to protect the Census and keep a citizenship question off of the questionnaire.378 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

21 Savage's Human RightsAlthough he way overstayed his visa, he has proved to be a talented musician who is essential to the growing and evolving music industry. It offensive that the Trump Administration waited this long to deport him, and detain him. It was inhumane and just as unjust as the Trump Administration deporting and locking immigrants in a cage.38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Caylee Hirschfeld
