Merriam Flags for freedom: Ask city council to poll the communityIf you believe that a community should have a voice and be heard, and that city council members should make the effort to reach out to their constituents so they can be reflective of their community’s desire then sign this petition. Signing this petition does not declare your wishes for flying the flags or removing the flags. It just sends a message to our elected council members that we expect them to make an effort to adequately reflect what each of their wards desire. This is especially important when a volunteer committee has a split recommendation to council on a sensitive topic. Please also note the committee was only 6 people and made no effort to reach out to the public either. Sadly one member skipped almost all the meetings and discussions but did show up to vote for removing the flags at the final meeting45 of 100 SignaturesCreated by NG D

Dibels testingI just recently learned that a test (dibels) that is given 3 times a year will determine if a child passes or fails the entire school year. This test only determines how fast a child can read in one minute, not at all what they comprehend while reading. Some children need to read slower to comprehend what they are reading. We need to fight for this to not happen because it completely takes away from all the hard work our kids have done all year just because they are not fast readers!3,405 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Brooklyn Adams

Israeli PM Netanyahu should not be given a platform in front of CongressIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has overseen the Israeli military as it’s caused catastrophic suffering in Gaza, including needlessly killing tens of thousands of people. Right now, families are starving amidst a famine his government created. That’s not all: He’s also allegedly given quotes to journalists to undermine ceasefire talks and repeatedly ignored requests from the families of hostages to get their loved ones home safe. He’s vowed to continue it ALL. Yet, despite a growing list of potential war crimes, House Speaker Mike Johnson has drafted Netanyahu an invitation to address a joint session of Congress — and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is reportedly ready to sign on. Netanyahu does not deserve the honor of speaking on the congressional stage. Especially as powerful decision-makers, from the President to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, seem finally willing to use their influence to end the horrific violence in Israel, Palestine, and beyond. Inviting Netanyahu to speak at the U.S. Capitol would not only undermine our values — it could undo the ongoing efforts to secure a ceasefire. U.S. credibility — and hundreds of thousands of lives — are on the line. The decision is a no-brainer: Sen. Schumer must say ‘No.’ The good news? The chance that he does increases if he hears from thousands of people across the country now. For the sake of justice, peace, and basic human decency, will you add your name to our petition to Sen. Schumer and urge him to refuse Netanyahu this prestigious platform?123 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Win Without War

Warren Position PetitionThis is important because the new generations need to have the experiences they want. If that means being a committee chair for two organizations or four, then it should be that way. Only being able to hold a position for one organization is hardly a way to grow. As a student leader, it’s disheartening for someone to be limited like this. Especially in HIGH SCHOOL. It would mean a lot to me and the rest of the incoming students at Warren if you were to sign this petition on behalf of the student body and what we stand for. Why limit a student to one position if the reason behind learning is to grow, even as a person and a leader? Thank you so much. -Gracie Hindmon154 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Gracie Hindmon

Let park rangers march in Pride parades!The NPS policy bans “participating in or attending any demonstration or public event wherein the wearing of the uniform could be construed as agency support for a particular issue, position, or political party.” It also appears like they are banning pins, buttons, and “ribbons” that are not in official capacity. The email iterating the policy was sent less than a month before the start of Pride and was sparked because of requests from employees. Frank Lands, the Deputy Director of Operations at NPS, said that “approving participation in some events and not others could be seen as discrimination based on viewpoint.” NPS itself holds Pride events—so marching in local Pride parades is in line with their internal and external support for LGBTQ+ rights. Supporting and celebrating LGBTQ+ folks shouldn't be a controversial political position—the fact that it may be viewed that way is because of egregious assaults that make it all the more critical for institutions across the country to affirm their support and empower their employees. The identities of LGBTQ+ park rangers don’t change when they put on and take off their uniform, and they should be able to celebrate their identity publicly all year long. Historically, LGBTQ+ people have experienced disproportionate surveillance and policing in public parks. And LGBTQ+ people continue to face specific barriers when trying to access public parks, including harassment and discrimination. Still, only 30% of park and recreation agencies have programming specifically tailored to LGBTQ+ communities. The NPS should focus on actively doing outreach to LGBTQ+ community members, not banning employees from self-expression or prohibiting their presence at their local Pride events. LGBTQ+ people deserve to feel safe, welcome, and celebrated everywhere. Sign the petition to urge NPS to allow their park rangers to march in community and local Pride parades, and demand NPS commit to publicly supporting their LGBTQ+ employees and visitors.

A.M.A.R.I 💚🧸🪽This is the second autism related drowning that’s happened in JUST our community, and there was no alarm for either of them. That’s 2, too many, and that doesn’t even touch the numbers nationwide. We need to do better & be better prepared for future accidents! Proper alerts could've had people searching the proper area way faster! Not everyone got one, and most had to learn about it thru Facebook posts. If phones shake when a child is abducted. Phone should shake when a special needs autism child should ever wander. They need their own category!3,987 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Marì Gonzales

Montpelier Village Club Home Owners signatures needed to request an HOA election to VoteIt’s important that we hold elections for our HOA board. Current board is self appointed and not chosen by the community. The issue with this , the board is supposed to represent the community and community needs. It’s not happening. We are coming off a year of over spending by 45,000 with zero explanation or accountability. The treasurer at the time failed their job however is now the President due to the board not having elections and self appointing . We need a quorum, meaning 40 homeowners to sign the petition to request an election so WE have a say and elect the individual WE want to serve on the board.70 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jamie Doering

Ziegler Must Immediately Resign or Be Removed from the Sarasota School Board by Gov. DeSantisMs. Ziegler's conduct has been a continuous distraction from the business of the Board — the education of our students, and the Board's stated commitment of "Every student every day." At the May 7, 2024 School Board meeting she proposed a resolution defying constitutional officer responsibilities by refusing to uphold changes to Title IX. She claims she was protecting "our girls" while openly discriminating against certain students. This makes our students unsafe. Ms. Ziegler has damaged countless students' lives and is an embarrassment to the Sarasota County School District. She needs to resign or be removed. Join us in this effort.1,096 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Robin Williams
