This petition asks Superintendent Tammy Wolicki and the HASD School Board to reverse the recent amendment to the attendance policy for the HACA Elementary Program and all online secondary programs. We would like the attendance policy to return to the standard of completion of all work by the following day as the standard for marking students present. The new mandatory standard, which requires students to be present in live, synchronous sessions is unfair to working parents and the students receiving education online.

The impact of separating bi-national couples for over 10 months during the pandemic has been devastating for families. Parents have missed the birth of their children while isolated abroad. Partners have passed away while being denied reunification. As time passes, aging and ill partners' abilities to have children, get married, and build a life with their partners diminish. Sign this petition to urgently request the Biden administration to support the policy proposals of the Giumarelli-Metivier letter, which requests safe humanitarian travel exemptions for unmarried bi-national couples and K-1 visa applicants to address the irreparable harms, familial life disruptions, financial burdens, and psychological stresses they have endured. The letter can be read in full at https://krishni.medium.com/the-giumarelli-metivier-letter-2b76cec18129. An accompanying Annex is available at: https://krishni.medium.com/annex-to-giumarelli-metivier-letter-a55e3eb62dbd. *As always, we welcome any safety protocols that the administration may require for entry into the U.S., including COVID-19 testing upon departure and arrival, mandatory quarantining (subject to check-ins and fines), social distancing, mask mandates in public, submitting quarantine locater documents, and vaccinations (once widely available).*

Lt. Governor Dan Patrick must rescind and apologize for his comment that seniors and grandparents should be willing to die for US economy.

Black's Beach Recreational Scandal Stop Commercialization and Privatization of San Diego Public Parks Stop Gliderport forced access fees to use our free park (illegal fees.) Stop Insurance fees (not required by law.) Stop fees going to Private Business to use any San Diego parks now. Endorse a recreational public waver, Including permanent Gliderport operation oversight as needed for public conflict and safety. Support public use of public land without requiring private membership in any private club or abusive private waivers. California Recreational Statutes Law, protects the owner of land from lawsuits due to injury. Any additional insurance requirements, is a scam using public land to enrich private Pockets. According to one member of La Jolla Town Council. "Commercialization and privatization of San Diego Parks is unacceptable" Should a private company be able to charge us to use our own publicly-owned Beach? No. Should private companies be able to control who can use our public publicly owned city parks? No. Yet that is exactly what's happening at the Torrey Pines Gliderport. The current San Diego Mayor and City Council have allowed a private business to completely control who can use our public park land and what price must be paid. This is a precedent that must be reversed or all of our public parks and beaches will become profit centers for private businesses squatting on our public land. That's the line that must be drawn clearly and decisively at Torrey Pines Gliderport before the disease of commercialization spreads to Blacks Beach, to La Jolla Shores, to the Cove, and to all of our public land. I hereby demand that all public beaches and parks shall ALWAYS be free and accessible to all citizens without requiring payments of any kind to or allowing control by any third party business.

Although I understand the right to bear Arms in this country is part of our freedom which makes this country great! Lately I have seen gun violence escalated to new heights. In the recent years while we are combating terrorist abroad we have had a number or terroristic acts in our homeland being committed by American Citizens against other Americans. The latest weapon of choice for theses assailant is the Bushmaster or the AR-15 which is a modified version of the M-16 used by the Army that is currently being sold in gun shop. Ask yourself this question why do we need high powered assault rifle in our homes ? Can we as a society make choices that are better for our children in the long run? Are we accepting the NRA response to the Connecticut shooting? How many more have to die before we take action against the gun lobbyist?

I urge you to keep seismic testing out of Monroeville. It’s not safe, it damages land, and it opens the door to fracking. Please approve the seismic testing ordinance to protect ourselves and our communities.

We have a thriving but underserved tennis community in Daphne. While surrounding communities increase the number of tennis courts for their communities, our City remains with only two courts. We request the City of Daphne construct a minimum 10 courts as part of Lott Park improvements to serve our youth and growing tennis community.

There is more evidence here in Minneapolis from an Officer who Investigated the environment and knows about the chemicals. Stop the chemical harassment here to stop it elsewhere in USA. Using chemicals to harass someone is an inhuman act and must be stopped.

We strongly urge Metro School Board members to VOTE AGAINST Dr. Register’s 9/12 proposal to eliminate 7th and 8th Grades at MLK.

Needed outcome: 1- Stop the New Song organization from purchasing the Santora building! That the New Song organization and its money hungry leaders back out of this contract with Mike Harrah 2- They sign a contract in order to keep their religious worship, proselytizing, propaganda and their religious meetings OUT of the Santora building and take it elsewhere. The Santa Ana, Ca. 92701, Artist Village is in big trouble! At its very heart there lies an art building, which is in escrow to be purchased for 6.4 million dollars by The New Song church, an Evangelical Christian organization from Orange county. This building just so happens to be the heart of Santa Ana's Artist Village and Santa Ana (like most cities in America) is already flooded with one Christian organization after another and the last thing it needs is a church inside the heart of the artist village where progressive thinking, intellectual thought and artistic freedom is to be appreciated and celebrated. It is our concern that the artistic integrity of our daily lives is at risk of becoming censored, shut down and down right eradicated. We all have already heard about Jesus, and do not deem it appropriate to have a worship group superimposing its religious tenets upon a village of artists. The New Song organization and its ownership are indeed business people just like anyone else, and we're asking the city council of Santa Ana to form a contract with the organization and its leaders and owners, in order to keep their religious tenets and worship services out of the Santora Building. My personal belief is that Jesus would never, ever, even dream of doing such a thing. Please, lets keep dogmatic, power hungry, rich, organized and unoriginal religious worship out of the Santora Building with no censorship of the art or any of the artists within the building. This building is a historic building which has been dedicated and protected by the city for the purpose of artistic endeavors and now this wonderful building is in serious Jeopardy of being hijacked by the uncultured, antics of Religious, Christian, Dogma and the money hungry owners of the New Song organization, who only care about more members and tithing payers and not about the freedom of artistic expression. David Benavides, a member of the city council is a member of the New Song organization and is believed to be a major roll in this 6.4 million dollar transaction. Business, Religion and Politics going hand and hand in America is a major injustice.
