Lets eliminate plastic bags in FloridaThis issue is a serious one. Obviously climate change is also very serious to all Human Kind. Plastic is in the deepest parts of our oceans and is inundating the Dominque Republic, Hawaii, and many other places. Plastic covers the Pacific Ocean in an area 3 times the size of France. There are plenty of alternatives than plastic.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Jay Weiss

Support Waimanalo's Houseless Community - Do Not Sweep Waimanalo Beach Park!The anticipated sweep that will move the Waimanalo Beach Park houseless residents out of the area will not resolve the situation and will only make matters worse, pushing them into the residential areas or further out in the restricted beach areas. As community outreach providers in Waimanalo have seen – the displacement of houseless individuals and families leads to further stress and chaotic responses that may result in more serious consequences. We are asking that the state and county hold off on any sweep of the area as the community works toward solutions to identify a more permanent solution. The Waimanalo community supports the Ohana Zones concept and it is a project we would like to see started in Waimanalo. A safe area designated for residents that understand rules and oversight will allow a place where houseless residents of our community can stay without being "swept." Now with Act 209 (2018) becoming law, Waimanalo would like to be the first community to pilot a program that allows a safe area for our Waimanalo ohana to thrive towards independence and eventually permanent housing.180 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Waimanalo NB Res.

Social Security Denying you survivor's benefits?My husband died recently and his social security income was cut off immediately, reducing my household income in half and leaving me with a 3,000 a month mortgage. I was informed that I am not eligible for his social security survivor's benefits because I receive teacher's retirement. Others who receive retirement benefits from other sources are entitled to social security, but not public servants. The rules should apply to everyone. State, County, Federal, and railroad retirees deserve better. Sign up to change this pernicious policy implemented by Pres. Reagan.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bj Moore

In-N-Out: Show Your Farms to the PublicA Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) investigation at RayMar Ranches found a mass graveyard of cows and calves piled on top of one another. Investigators also documented baby cows confined in hutches smaller than the length of their bodies for months at a time, forced to sleep each night on a hard wooden floor and live on top of their own waste. Baby calves just weeks old were recorded coughing from the toxicity of the ammonia-rich air in the overcrowded wasteland. This farm sends cows to Harris Ranch, which is the largest ranch on the West Coast and and the supplier of In-N-Out's hamburger meat. In-N-Out claims they do not condone animal abuse; yet they have repeatedly made headlines for extreme abuse at their farms and slaugtherhouses. The public has a right to know how these animals really live. Ask the CEO of In-N-Out to show the public the truth about how their animals are raised.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Julianne Perry

Get Zaviona Woodruff the Kalamazoo Promise!https://fox17online.com/2018/07/25/kps-graduate-crushed-after-she-was-denied-kalamazoo-promise/ The Promise was created to help students like Zaviona. She did everything right. She excelled in school. She participated in extracurricular activities. She graduated with high honors, and she spoke at graduation. To deny her a chance at college because, after a bout of homelessness, she moved to a home within a few feet of the KPS district boundary, a home her family was led to believe was within that boundary, is the height of cruelty. We can do better.247 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Bobby Goldstein

Save Rod RosensteinThere is no reason for this action to take place, the impeachment of Rod Rosenstein. As stated by Trey Gowdy, Congressman and head of the Oversight Committee for the U.S. House of Representatives, there is no reason for impeachment. Let Congress do its job and not someone elses. Congress, along with everyone else will find out what is going with Robert Mueller and his investigation in due time.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gary Hill

FLETCHER SCHOOL DISCONTINUE EVELYN ANITEEVELYN ANITE PETITION The Common League of the Uganda Diaspora (CLOUD), a pressure group for the defense of human rights and promotion of democracy in Uganda by Uganda Diaspora activists, is pressuring the Fletcher School/Tufts University to discontinue Evelyn Anite, Uganda’s Minister of State for Investment and Privatization. Anite, an infamous Uganda dictatorial regime official and a Museveni sycophant par excellence, is attending one of the few residence course durations for this Master’s degree (GMAP), which is mostly accomplished in the candidate’s home country online. It is incomprehensible that a premier institute of international affairs in the free democratic world the Fletcher school is cam admit a poster girl of dictatorship from Uganda. International affairs in the free world postulate that democracies do not go to war with each other. Hence, it is critical that each country in the world is democratized so the world can enjoy a true democratic peace sufficient for development and human progress. Moreover, it is as well unthinkable that the Fletcher School can be so socio-politically insensitive in this era of institutional bottom line consideration. Ugandans in the Diaspora demand that Evelyn Anite be discontinued from the Fletcher School of Tufts University so that the agents of dictatorship in Uganda can take heed that there can be global consequences whenever they act against democracy in Uganda. We have no issues with Evelyn Anite as an individual but her reprehensible actions and utterances, which have emboldened dictatorship in Uganda. If she is left scot free then the university shall have undermined democratization in Uganda as well as global democratic peace. Please help sign this petition and pressure the Fletcher school to discontinue Evelyn Anite767 of 800 SignaturesCreated by CLOUD
