When I walk through my neighborhood with my parents I don't see people splashing and playing in pools. It just seems like the perfect time to get one. We have to leave our neighborhood just to find a pool, and parents are always wanting kids outside, so please sign this petition.

The Homeowners Association that covers the houses and the condo/townhouse wants a total renovation of the signs at the front entrances at a cost of $200 per household. This is a high cost for something that does not need to be updated.

Juneteenth, also known as Juneteenth Independence Day or Freedom Day, is a day that commemorates the June 19, 1865, announcement of the abolition of slavery in the U.S. and more generally the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans throughout the former Confederacy of the southern United States. Its name is a portmanteau of "June" and "nineteenth", the date of its celebration. The news of General Robert E. Lee's surrender on April 9 moved slowly and did not reach Texas until May 1865. The Army of the Trans-Mississippi did not surrender until June 2. On June 18, Union Army General Gordon Granger arrived at Galveston Island with 2,000 federal troops to occupy Texas on behalf of the federal government. The following day, standing on the balcony of Galveston's Ashton Villa, Granger read aloud the contents of "General Order No. 3", announcing the total emancipation of those held as slaves: By the 1950s and 1960s, the Civil Rights Movement focused the attention of African-American youth on the struggle for racial equality and the future, but many linked these struggles to the historical struggles of their ancestors. Following the 1968 Poor People's Campaign to Washington D.C. called by Rev. Ralph Abernathy, many attendees returned home and initiated Juneteenth celebrations in areas where the day was not previously celebrated. Since the 1980s and 1990s, the holiday has been more widely celebrated among African-American communities. This should be a national holiday.

Our democracy requires citizens to evaluate candidates and then vote. Citizens deserve to evaluate a presidential debate that is based on verifiable facts rather than spin, misinformation, or outright lies. Candidates should not get to score cheap debating points or audience applause lines based on untrue statements.

Jordan has denied the allegations, but given the nature of the charges, a full and impartial investigation is necessary.

Cruel abuse in the TDCJ Ferguson unit in Midway, Texas: My son is an inmate at this unit and after multiple pleas to everyone, I could think of this is my last resolve! The heat is being used as a form of torture. The 8th Amendment Rights states "no cruel and unusual punishment shall be exhibited." We beg of you for help for all the men and woman suffering.

This issue has been ongoing for decades. This is primarily a Veteran's Affairs issue as well as a human rights one.

On July 3rd, 2018, there was a #BoycottWalmart when shoppers saw merchandise reading "Impeach 45" available online from the superstore. We need to #BoycottWalmart because Walmart sells merchandise reading "Make America Great Again"- a campaign slogan from Donald Trump. This slogan is being adapted by hate groups to justify their violent attacks on non-white Americans. "MAGA" merchandise and other hate symbols are being worn by the alt-right hate groups and Walmart contributes to promoting their image. Walmart proved today by removing the shirts reading "Impeach 45" Walmart is selectively choosing which shoppers' 1st Amendment rights matter more than others. Americans need to have their voices heard. Walmart needs to pull all products saying "Make America Great Again." Walmart is a store for all Americans and should not sell one version of politics to their shoppers. Despite a recent shooting in a Walmart store in Tumwater, Washington past June, 2018- Walmart continues to sell guns despite the rise in mass shootings. #BoycottWalmart for not taking a stand against the violence and racism the "Make America Great Again" merchandise sends to hate groups by a current president who claimed racist protesters were "good people" just last August, 2017. #BoycottWalmart for selling MAGA merchandise and guns while the current President has not made an effort to stop mass shootings. Walmart, like President Trump, has made no effort to stop gun violence in America. #BoycottWalmart until they stop selling the politically, racially charged "Make America Great Again" merchandise. Please sign and share this petition to make every executive at Walmart hear our voices loud and clear!

Let's use the power of our consumer voices to cut off the corporate money behind Trump’s unconscionable immigration policies! Tell Wells Fargo to STOP financing CoreCivic and GEO Group, private prison corporations that are profiting off the pain and separation of families. Why target Wells Fargo and private prison companies? Private prison companies are not only making huge profits from the incarceration and detention of immigrants, they are also a huge political force in lobbying for the legislation and policies that criminalize immigrants and communities of color in the U.S. [1][2] But private prisons are not the only ones making money here. Two of the private prison industry leaders, CoreCivic and GEO Group, depend on debt financing from Wells Fargo and other banks to conduct their day-to-day business operations, finance new facilities, and acquire smaller companies. This is a big deal. An analysis of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings over the past 10 years, shows that Wells Fargo has played a leading role in financing these debts.[3][4] Follow the money. As consumers, we have the power to stop this! Wells Fargo needs consumers like you and me in order to keep their business afloat, so our voices are powerful. We can demand that Wells Fargo stop financing private prisons, and thereby stop the construction of new private prisons to house immigrant children and families, stem the political power of private prison lobbyists, and send a warning message to other banks that consumers will not tolerate the use of their deposits to finance the private prison industry. Imprisoning children with families is still imprisoning children! Studies have shown that detention, even with families, is traumatic for children and can have long term health and developmental effects. [5] It’s time for everyone who cares about our democracy and the future direction of our country to use our voices, our votes, and the power of our pocketbooks to fight against human rights abuses in the name of immigration enforcement. Wells Fargo MUST stop financing this pain! There are alternatives to detention that are not only more compassionate for children and families, but also more fiscally responsible. In FY18, the Department of Homeland Security estimated that it cost on average $319.37 dollars a day, per family member, to incarcerate a family on the border. On the other hand, with the Family Case Management Program, (which the Trump administration terminated in 2017), children and their parents were provided with individualized family service plans, and had a proven 100% success rate ensuring the family attend their hearings, and it cost only $36, per family, per day![6] We believe that families seeking safety in our country need protection and opportunity. Children deserve to be with their families outside of cages and they deserve to have their rights protected. Join us today in telling Wells Fargo that they MUST stop the financing of CoreCivic and GEO Group. They MUST stop financing pain for corporate gain!

In Citizens United (for-profit corporations given the right of free speech) and Hobby Lobby (for-profit corporations given the right of religious freedom), the Supreme Court fundamentally changed the relationship between corporate interests and individual interests, increasing by orders of magnitude the power of corporations over our lives and our government. The most expeditious way to address this imbalance is to deny those individual rights to California corporations and corporations doing business in California (i.e., the 5th largest economy in the world).
