Texas has more Dreamers than any other state other than California so this is very important to people in our community. Dreamers were brought here no fault of their own. They know no other country but the United States. I support a path to citizenship for all DACA individuals and so should Representative Will Hurd. Representative Hurd must take a strong stance to pass a Dream Act immediately! Please sign and share with other constituents and take a minute to call his office 210.921.3130.

Opioids claim the lives of 91 individuals every day. With nearly 60,000 overdose deaths in 2016, 60% of which were related to prescription opioids, it is clear that there is a major public health crisis in our country.

Working for yrs. with those of color, whether Black or Latinos,Muslims, etc has proved to me that we are all the same; that many of our policies are race-driven; fear of the other.We must get to know each other individually & personally. This Pres. keeps painting negative stereotypes about Latinos & African Americans.Insecurity & an overarching need to be better than others.....!*

Congress needs to demonstrate real leadership and protect our families from being torn apart. Our president’s decision to end DACA is unconscionable. No one is served by policies that tear families apart.

I'm starting this petition because Fireworks are dangerous. The cons WAY OUTWEIGH the pros and since the public cannot handle fireworks responsibly, we don't deserve to have them in our community.

Trump’s latest appointee, Michael Dourson, spent his career helping Big Tobacco, Teflon makers, and other corporations downplay the risks of their chemicals. He doesn’t belong at the EPA where he would have the power to greenlight toxics like asbestos, lead, and BPA —substances that have been linked to cancer, delayed mental development, and major reproductive harm. Trump is showing again that our health doesn’t matter to him, especially the people of color and low-income communities who will be hurt the most by gutting our toxics laws. Sign the petition to tell the nomination committee chairs to #DumpDourson.

On September 2nd, Woods Humane Society fundraised for their dogs and cats by supporting, and taking money from, a chicken wing festival. Woods continues to hold other events that involve the killing and eating of animals other than dogs and cats. This is a horrific display of speciesism that we feel must come to an end.

This landmark legislation offers a true level playing field for zero-emission vehicles in the competitive market of CA. The people of CA care about climate change and want the opportunity to participate in this fight. By allowing us to purchase zero-emission vehicles for the same price as Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles you will help spur economic growth and fight climate change at the same time.

To the Olive Branch community, alumni, parents, family and friends of the Olive Brach High School girls’ basketball team WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT with fighting this battle!!! Last basketball season, 2016-2017, the OBHS girls’ team won the 6A state championship making history in the Olive Branch community. On August 17, 2017, the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) stripped the team of their championship title ruling there was an ineligible player. Along with stripping the title, the girls are not allowed to compete in post season of 2017-2018, the ineligible player is not allowed to play for a year, and there is a $500 fine. No rules were actually broken by the team. The ineligible player competed all season on the Olive Branch Middle School basketball team; after their season was up, she went on to play for the high school team. This young lady attended the middle school on an administrative transfer. DeSoto County School's policy states children of a full-time employees can attend the school of their parent’s choice. However, quite a few administrators failed to do their job and obtain the proper paperwork, and this is being held against the children. Both the middle school and high school are a part of the MHSAA, which means, the middle school administration should have turned in a transfer form to the District before the player could be eligible to play. This did not happen. Additionally, the high school submitted a roster to the district, state and MHSAA before playing in any tournaments with the “ineligible” player’s information. However, no one on any level of the administration disapproved this roster including MHSAA. Our girls should not be punished due to the incompetency of paid administration. These young ladies worked hard all season, and made Olive Branch history. We need the administration to be held accountable! Please support the OBHS girls’ basketball team on their journey to get this ruling overturned by signing this petition. Thank you kindly for your support! We are OB!

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is under threat of being ended. Though Donald Trump has stated he "loves the Dreamers", he is still considering ending it and the benefits it provides for over 800,000 people who were brought to the United States as young children. If DACA is ended, it would be one of the most inhumane policy decisions in the history of modern U.S. politics, and would severely harm the economy; business leaders have estimated a loss of $460.3 billion. Top Republican lawmakers, including Paul Ryan and Orrin Hatch, and an attorney general, Herbert Slatery, who previously opposed DACA, have called on Trump to defend the program. A handful of mayors from both political parties have also lent their voices to the fight to keep DACA. Members of our government want to keep this program, let's make sure they do. My goal for this petition is 50,000 signatures, and I know we can reach it and send a powerful message to this administration. Our country is built on immigrants. This nation stands on being a land of opportunity, open to all. We must hold true to the core values of the United States, stand with the Dreamers, and tell the Trump Administration to defend DACA.

We in the environmental movement know that "local" disasters, Hurricanes Harvey and Katrina, are directly tied to the ongoing global climate apocalypse of human-caused global warming. Only the media and the government are covering up this biggest news of the millennium, and worsening its effect as the waters rise around us. Be a hero and reverse this flood of ignorance!.

We are asking Facebook to adhere to their policy of trying to make as safe a community as possible, and not inadvertently help stalkers use Facebook rules as a way to ban some members for political or personal reasons. Please, Facebook, protect your members and do not help stalkers harm them. Facebook has been banning longtime members who have never been a problem, based on stalkers who repeatedly report years' old posts and comments. These posts plainly did not violate Facebook "community standards" or else they would have been removed immediately after they were first posted. Stalkers can clone a victim's page and suffer no consequences, as has been done to Bev Jo Von Dohre. She repeatedly has asked Facebook that whoever cloned her page and whoever is reporting her from years' old posts (which she likely already removed) be blocked from seeing her, but Facebook ignores her. We've been told that it is likely a hired team is targeting a number of Facebook members so that as soon as they return after a 30-day ban, they are again reported en masse and banned. (The stalker(s) could also be people who have been removed from moderated groups for making abusive or threatening comments, and so is on a vendetta, but it seems more systematic than that.) The reported posts are often years old. No matter how many hours of work has been spent removing anything possible, going back 6 years, nothing stops the reporting of what used to be acceptable. So, in my case, I am locked out almost permanently. Soon after I return, the stalker(s) report me again and I am locked out for another 30 days. Meanwhile, I've been unable to return friends' messages or comment when a friend has died (which happened a few days ago) or otherwise participate in the community. This is happening to a lot of targeted women. I have over 900 friends and am prevented from contact with them. It's terrible that friends often don't know and so think I am ignoring them. I moderate several groups, which are now suffering from not having moderation and those asking to join again are made to feel ignored. Last year, the rules said the reported posts had to be "recent," which would eliminate this kind of stalking, but that Facebook rule is being ignored now. I have asked repeatedly for Facebook to block the stalker(s) since they know who they are, but get no direct response. When there has been a response, it's like a form letter and never about what actually is happening. I even went to Facebook headquarters, was assured there would be help, which of course did not happen, and then the stalking and false reporting continued. This is will be increasingly happening to Facebook members since stalkers and harassers have found a way to use the rules against other members as a way to almost permanently ban them. Please ask Facebook to stop helping stalkers target and ban members for no legitimate reason. (Some members have even been banned for using their own chosen name for their identity.)
