Bicycling in Greensboro (BIG) is starting this petition because bicycling is an integral part of our community. The City of Greensboro has an obligation to provide people with the safest conditions possible on public roads, regardless of their mode of transportation.

As Associate Dean of Student Life at Rhode Island College and Advisor of the Student-Parent Association, I have seen students struggle to balance paying for child care and taking classes - many of them end up dropping out or taking longer to graduate as they have to go part time or take a few semesters off. Rhode Island College currently has approximately 500 students with children, some of whom could benefit from the Child Care Assistance Program. By enabling these students to continue their studies and graduate, we are helping ensure students are able to support themselves and their families now and in the future.

Our right to vote is fundamental to our democracy -- but right now, it's in jeopardy. The Voting Rights Act, one of our nation’s proudest civil rights achievements, used to protect us from targeted voter suppression laws. States and counties with a history of discrimination had to pre-approve any changes to their voting rules with the Department of Justice -- which stopped thousands of dangerous provisions from taking effect. But the Supreme Court gutted that pre-clearance requirement in 2013 -- inviting opportunistic politicians to attack voters’ rights, pass new laws that would have never stood up to review, and make it harder for Americans to vote. We’ve especially seen the impacts of this decision in states like Georgia, where voter suppression efforts plagued the 2018 election. Congress must use its legislative power to remedy the Supreme Court’s decision and pass the Voting Rights Advancement Act -- a new, updated Voting Rights Act that protects every eligible American’s right to be heard. Add your name and demand Congress take a stand for voters.

We are drowning in medical debt. It effects our credit, and we have to decide to pay medical bills or other bills and it's not fair. We have insurance, it just doesn't cover much of anything. We pay most out of pocket. Help struggling families!!

we want animation 2 and the kids in animation would very much like animation two next year. The look on our faces will be awesome.

I have been volunterring for over 10 years doing legal research analysis for those WRONGFULLY CONVICTED , counties in New York state ( and across the country) that have CONVICTION INTEGRITY UNITS assist in getting the innocent exonerated. We need to make it MANDATORY for ALL NEW YORK STATE COUNTIES to have this UNIT as many counties have District Attorney's for decades that can compromise Wrongful Conviction Cases. PLEASE SUPPORT

We've made numerous trips down to Washington, DC over the years to fight for 9/11 victims and their families. Even though the experience is exhausting and infuriating—emotionally and physically—we keep fighting for the 9/11 responders and survivors in the Health Program who are in all 50 States and in 434 out of 435 Congressional Districts. The number of people coming forward with illnesses and cancers related to the exposures to toxins at Ground Zero grows every single day. Nearly every other day another 9/11 responder or survivor reportedly dies from a 9/11 associated cancer. As the consequences of these attacks grow so too do the costs which are taking a significant toll on the current funding for the victims of this tragic day. Chronic diseases like asthma, obstructive pulmonary disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and cancer continue to plague those who were exposed to the many toxins and carcinogens on 9/11 and in the weeks and months after. Currently more than 45,000 people who are in the World Trade Center Health program are suffering from at least one certified 9/11 condition caused by the toxins at Ground Zero, the Pentagon and Shanksville crash site—a large percentage have multiple conditions. It is Congress’s responsibility to provide the Victims Compensation Fund with all the funding needed to make sure that 9/11 responders and survivors get the help they need and deserve. The new bipartisan bill "Never Forget the Heroes: Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund," may be one of the few bipartisan bills that can pass Congress this session—and we don't have time to sit around playing political games. This is not a partisan political issue. We will talk to anyone—anywhere—anytime—to make it clear that our loyalty is to those who sacrificed so much for their communities. We ask so much of our Nation’s first responders and volunteers—from firefighters to disaster response volunteers. Let us not repay their selflessness with apathy. Sign the petition. Demand your members of Congress vote to support the bill. We need your support, energy, and love!

Pharmacy monopolies need to be broken up. Bring choice back to the consumer.

Debra Reid Kimbrough will be coming up for parole this year. On December 12, 2007, she shot and killed Howard Gene (Sonny) Kimbrough in the back while he slept. He was her husband. She took a plea agreement of Manslaughter, which carries a 10 year sentence, with an additional 10 years because it was a gun crime.

Transportation is one of the biggest costs with most people including myself. If I have more access to safe bike lanes I can ride my bike more, save money, and save the world. Triple win !!!!

Currently, items placed in recycling with labels are thrown away. Recycling is an important part of helping the environment and fighting climate change. We want to make sure that as many items as possible that can be recycled are recycled.

According to estimates from the Department of Defense, 19,000 service men and women are sexually assaulted while serving in the United States military every year. But 86% of them never report their assault—too often because seeking justice threatens their safety, their job security, and their future. Sexual assault and rape in the military are no longer view as gender specific issues, rather it is a abuse of power which we must put a stop to! It’s time to take action and ensure survivors of Military Sexual Trauma (MST) are not invisible and receive the justice they deserve. Survivors should never suffer retaliation for speaking up and rape, harassment or sexual assault should never be an “occupational hazard.” Only Congress can change the UCMJ to create a real, working system for prosecuting sexual predators in the military – and ultimately putting an end to Military Sexual Trauma.
