Nimble Hill/Fox Point intersectionThis is a dangerous intersection, especially next to a school, fire station, police station, and town hall. A 4-way stop here will make it safer and will also help slow traffic through town and into the school zone.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jessica Morgan

Sit Yuli GurrielRegardless of the World Series importance, and even more so since this is a series viewed by millions of people across the globe, these types of racist words and actions should not be tolerated by this Astros organization. The team should take a stand against this form of ignorance by sending a clear message that this will not be tolerated.117 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Lee

Investigate the Whitefish Energy contract!Congress must fully investigate and hold public hearings on the massive no-bid contract awarded to the two-employee Montana company Whitefish Energy to rebuild the Puerto Rican power grid devastated by Hurricane Maria. Whitefish Energy is located in Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's hometown. The contract also contains troubling provisions that prevent claims against Whitefish for delays AND prevents government entities from "the right to audit or review the cost and profit elements" of the contract. We deserve the answers to why this massive contract was awarded to this tiny company with these strange and troubling clauses.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Recognition that ICE detention centers are really concentration campsI am horrified by what this country is doing to these immigrants under the excuse of safety from terrorism. As statesd by Wikipedia "Several human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and a series of reports made by the New York Times have cited concerns with ICE’s management of these detention centers. Reports refer to instances of human rights abuse and inadequate or unprofessional medical care in these detention facilities. Such reports have also publicized the death of several immigrants in detention and have accused ICE of covering up this information. ICE, in response, has released a list of 166 people who died under ICE detention between 2003-2016. "58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joyce Kanyuk

Release Jordi Cruixart and Jordi Sanchez, protesters, from Madrid, Spain prisonJordi Cruixart and Jordi Sanchez were protesting after voting for independence on Oct. 1, 2017. The Madrid police took Jordi Cruixart and Jordi Sanchez as prisoners for no other reason than a peaceful demonstration. These two men deserve to be free from unimaginably harsh prison conditions, to return to their families and to their jobs. Peacefully protesting for independence was given an unfair charge by the police who targeted Jordi Cruixart and Jordi Sanchez.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David DesJardine

Tell the National Park Service not to raise entrance fees!It's troubling to see a proposal from the National Park Service that would make these beautiful places less accessible to average Americans. Raising the price to as much as $30 per individual and $70 per vehicle for the most popular parks would deprive so many people of life-changing experiences and an appreciation for the natural world. The parks are for everyone, regardless of income! I remember a trip to Sequoia National Park, high in California's mountains. It was winter, and the snow was taller than our car. We set out one morning as the sun rose. The only sound was the clop of our snowshoes as they broke through the thin layer of ice that had formed on the powder overnight. When we paused, we smelled only sweet evergreens and heard only the off-and-on work of a woodpecker echoing through the groves of giant trees that towered above us. The sequoias have been kings of that land for centuries, and visiting them was like stepping into a royal court. We felt honored to be there. Everyone should have the opportunity to experience places like that. We need to protect America's wilderness, but increasing park entrance fees is not the way to do it. Please sign this petition to weigh in on the request for comments - listed as: National Park Service Proposes Targeted Fee Increases at Parks to Address Maintenance Backlog (ID: 75576) / Document: Fact Sheet and Current and Proposed Fee Rates (ID: 83652). I will make sure your petition signatures are delivered by the November 23 deadline and will follow up with additional ways you can ensure your voice is heard!55,983 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Ryan Merkley

Tell the FEC: Require Online Political Ads to Disclose FundersIn the 2016 election, 65 percent of Americans identified the internet, or an online platform, as their leading source of information. Yet our outdated transparency rules — which still include references to telegrams and typewriters — don't require adequate disclosure for online ads. No matter if it’s organizations with ties to Russia or wealthy special interests at home, Americans have a right to know who is paying for online political ads. More than three in four Americans — 78 percent — want full disclosure of who paid for political ads posted to social media platforms. That includes 80 percent of Republicans and 82 percent of Independents. It’s time for the FEC to make it happen.1,809 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Courtney Fuller

Let 10-year-old Rosa Maria go!This is what our country has come to: We're imprisoning little children immediately following emergency surgery. Ten-year-old Rosa Maria Hernandez is now in a detention center, 150 miles away from her parents, after Border Patrol was alerted while she was on her way to a life-saving gallbladder surgery. Rosa Maria is undocumented, having been brought to the U.S. when she was just three months old. According to The New York Times, Border Patrol agents allowed Rosa Maria to continue to Driscoll Children's Hospital but followed the ambulance the rest of the way there, then waited outside her room until she was released from the hospital. Rosa Maria is now in a children's detention center for immigrants, over 150 miles away from her parents, who are both undocumented, in Laredo. Even for Trump's administration, this is a new low. The Border Patrol violated many of its own guidelines around avoiding sensitive places like hospitals and keeping children and families together whenever possible. If enough of us raise our voices, Trump will have no choice but to let Rosa Maria go, and we might even be able to make changes to make sure this sort of violation never happens again.62,704 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Kyle de Beausset
