The Community Guidelines on Instagram do not serve people of color. As a group of white Instagram users who are able to post freely without being censored by Instagram, we are creating this petition to put a stop to this unfair silencing of our black and brown siblings. Queer people of color, people of color who speak about the racism they experience and women of color in particular experience the effects of this silencing but all people of color are affected. We want to see 1. Effective training of employees who handle reported posts to recognize racial bias and to disengage from enabling the silencing of black and brown Instagram users when they are reported. A person or people of color who do this work should be hired by Instagram to train employees. We want to see this acknowledged in a statement by Instagram. 2. A strict policy of uplifting voices of color as opposed to silencing them, reflected concretely in employee training. 3. Regular employee oversight by a manager over these reports with reviews on a regular basis. 4. Action taken against employees who silence Instagram users of color, perhaps with a three-strike policy resulting in termination. 5. The ability for users and followers of users to contest a report before posts are taken down which will be routed to a manager to assess the situation before people of color lose time, money, engagement and equal right to free speech by having their posts taken down.

I felt very disturbed about these perfectly fine people who have contributed so much to America. Right now their plight is at its climax. All it takes is a signature to give hope to these special people.

To raise ROBLOX awareness of how many people she has helped in the community and how friendly this account is, and how she deserves her account back.

The mayor is making the city an unsafe place to raise a family with his crazy ideas.

20 million people have died worldwide since I discovered a simple way to prevent kidney failure caused by diabetes and high blood pressure.

Trump's position on immigrants is brutal. He/his party are breaking families apart, yet his wife is here "legally" on an Einstein visa. Surely this unlawful human "fixed" that he wife be granted this visa. As is seen in everything he does, he has violated every principal of immigration law by having "arranged" for his wife to be in the country. An investigation is warranted to reveal another level of corruption.

The EPA says that in the US in 2012, 65.3 million tons of recyclable materials were recovered from landfills. However, only 21.3 million tons of yard waste was recovered. In St. Petersburg, we generate a lot of yard waste, but disposing of it is difficult. Bagging and hauling dozens of bags of leaves every season to the city compost facility is a big job. Why not make it as easy as putting out a trash can once a week?

This petition is directed at Governor Cuomo as motivation for him to walk his talk on climate, and to highlight the hypocrisy of his "call to arms".

Climate change is real and must be mitigated. Virginians are affected by rising sea levels and extreme weather events. The proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline and Mountain Valley Pipeline will exacerbate climate change and threaten the safety, health, welfare, and *livelihood *of communities in their paths.

Update: an attorney has filed to have the trademark(s) cancelled. Keep standing together writers!!!!! While the trademarking of this word doesn't affect me personally, it is going to affect thousands of titles in the current market. It's wrong on so many levels for one author to be allowed to trademark a word that's been used since the Victorian era. Writers, sign the petition, contact the lawyers agreeing to help and the organizations agreeing to help (Carol Ritter from RWA), and stand up to this woman. You shouldn't have to change your book title. No one should.

To stop the undesirable and potentially dangerous development of a Super Wawa and Tractor Supply Co store.

Shark finning is the grisly act of catching a shark, cutting off its fins, and throwing it back in the water to drown, all to make fake medicines and soup that are actually bad for humans. While 12 states have banned such imports, ironically Florida, a state more reliant on the health of our oceans than most, has chosen not to. Being publicly known as the shark fin capital of the US not only damages our ecosystem but also our reputation and in turn, our local economy. Please tell Francis Suarez, Mayor of Miami, and our state legislature to formally ban all shark finning and shark fin imports.
