Investigations show that tens of thousands of workers on distant-water fleets are trapped in conditions that meet the definition of modern slavery. They are deceived by recruiters, stripped of their passports, denied wages, and forced to work in brutal and dangerous conditions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shockingly, some of this seafood ends up in U.S. government supply chains. In just one year, over $400 million was spent on seafood for military meals and school lunches, plus another $50 million for elder-nutrition programs. That means American children, troops, and seniors are being served seafood tainted by forced labor — and taxpayers are footing the bill.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The U.S. already has laws banning imports made with forced labor, but weak enforcement and procurement loopholes allow slave-caught seafood to slip through. Now is the moment to change this. In August 2025, the U.S. government expanded enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), naming seafood as a high-risk sector. The tools exist to fix this — what’s missing is the political will.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;We demand that Congress and federal agencies take action now:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ban slave-caught seafood from all federal food programs — from schools to military bases to elder care.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Require strict supplier audits and traceability for every seafood contract.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Enforce existing laws to keep forced-labor seafood out of U.S. markets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Slavery was abolished in America more than 150 years ago. It’s unacceptable that taxpayer money is still funding it today.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sign now and demand a ban on slave-caught seafood in all federally funded meals.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Stop U.S. Tax Dollars from Funding Forced-Labor Seafood</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2218/stronger-schools-for-our-loop-isd-community</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T05:05:22.607Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2218/stronger-schools-for-our-loop-isd-community"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Loop ISD Board,&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;I’m deeply invested in our local education system’s success - it’s the foundation that ensures our youth &amp;amp; community thrive.

The fishing tournament that occurred on July 9th 2022 encouraged the slaughter of excessive amounts of coastal shark species and targeted the largest individuals during a critical migration period. At least 11 bull sharks were killed during the tournament, but the unofficial death toll is likely much higher.

Participants who supported the tournament claim that Florida's waters are overpopulated with sharks and that fishing tournaments promote balance. There is no scientific basis for this claim.

Instead, these tournaments encourage participants to kill as many sharks as possible and inflict incredible suffering by shooting them, chopping them up with propellers, and sinking illegal species that are caught.

Recent data reveals that shark populations have declined over 70% globally due to increased fishing pressure. Not only does the ocean rely on these apex predators to keep the marine ecosystem in balance, healthy shark populations play a pivotal role in Florida’s economy: Shark diving alone brings in $221 million a year to the state.

Such disregard for sharks and their important role in marine ecosystems ignores best available science and encourages the blatant disregard for all marine life. These killing contests breed poaching and barbaric acts against marine life, and send a message that it is okay to kill for “fun.”

In fact, security personnel were directed based on this misinformation, resulting in racial profiling at the following meeting on June 3, in which security surrounded pro-Palestine speakers in the lobby as they peacefully engaged in civic discourse with their elected representatives. Such intimidation tactics silence voices and threaten the foundation of democratic participation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the June 3 board meeting, the board threatened on multiple occasions to restrict public comment, with Supervisor Kershner stating at one point that “&lt;a href="https://loudoun.granicus.com/player/clip/7960?meta_id=264092" target="_blank"&gt;free speech can be taken too far&lt;/a&gt;.” (Comments at 3:00:10) This chilling rhetoric reveals an alarming willingness to suppress dissent. The board is using its platform, not to serve its constituents, but to silence them, particularly those who speak out in support of the Palestinian cause. This effort to avoid accountability and further marginalize voices must be condemned.

The bill calls for the development and implementation of curricula that recognize the histories, identities, and contributions of people from all backgrounds. By doing so, it uplifts students from marginalized communities and enriches learning for everyone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Key features of Bill S2547 include:&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Permanent adoption of culturally responsive curricula for all students, regardless of background or zip code.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A pilot program to pioneer best practices in culturally responsive education, guided by a $25 million investment.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Enhanced standards to prepare students for a diverse society, fostering empathy, critical thinking, and social cohesion.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now is the time to act. Supporting Bill S2547 means investing in a brighter, more equitable future where every child’s story is valued, and every classroom is a space for belonging and growth.

This legislation will establish a culturally responsive education curriculum and standards, integrating an inclusive approach to history and learning at all grade levels.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;The heart of Bill S2547 is simple:&lt;/bold&gt; empower students from all backgrounds by connecting education to their cultural, linguistic, and racial experiences. Research shows that culturally responsive education doesn’t just open minds—it improves educational outcomes, accelerates learning, and fosters a sense of belonging for every child.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill also allocates $25 million to support a pilot program and broader implementation, helping educators receive the resources and training they need to relate academic content to students’ lives. With over half of New York’s public school students identifying as students of color, this legislation ensures that all students benefit from a curriculum that truly reflects New York’s vibrant population.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let’s stand together to support inclusive history and education for every child in New York.

Georgia Power has been increasing rates, putting an unfair burden on hardworking families and small businesses across our state. These unaffordable energy costs are pushing people to the brink, forcing many to choose between keeping the lights on or meeting other basic needs. This is unacceptable, and it’s time to take a stand!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Electricity is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Yet, Georgia Power’s relentless price hikes lack transparency and accountability. These rising costs disproportionately impact vulnerable communities, including seniors, low-income families, and small business owners. The energy monopoly's unchecked practices demand immediate action to protect the people of Georgia.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;We believe in fair and reasonable energy rates that prioritize the well-being of our communities over profit margins. By standing together, we can demand that Georgia Power implement more equitable pricing and explore sustainable, cost-effective energy solutions that benefit everyone.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Join us in the fight to put an end to these outrageous electricity prices. Together, we can advocate for change and hold Georgia Power accountable for its practices.

Despite their growing popularity, the journey to ensure that these furry companions are treated with the utmost respect and care is an ongoing challenge. This pledge serves as a beacon of commitment, uniting all animal enthusiasts in the fight to protect the well-being and rights of designer dogs everywhere.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We believe in a world where all dogs, regardless of their lineage, are given equal love and respect.

However, the current system of also entering the same information online has proven difficult for many families.

These villages are made up of antique homes that have existed for generations as single-family dwellings. The villages are known as Center Village, Bank Village, and Smith Village. Each village having its own special charm and unique natural beauty. Bank Village is in a rural area located on River and Currier Roads. River Road follows the Souhegan River which leads to Currier Road. Currier Road is a designated NH Scenic Road, and the area is home to much natural beauty and wildlife including, nesting American Bald Eagles, Owls, Northern Black Bear, several endangered Turtles including the Wood and Eastern Box Turtles, Deer, Fox, and many other species of wildlife. &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;Now one of our villages is in danger from commercial development and needs your help. A company known as Silver Scones Teas LLC is trying to turn one of our antique single-family homes into &amp;#8220;The Millbrook House Event Center&amp;#8221;. This previously unmolested property sits in the center of Bank Village and is separated from its nearest neighbor by less than 25 feet. Silver Scone Teas LLC / The Mill Brook House Event Center seeks to exploit Bank Village for personal profit and is now petitioning the town for a special variance to allow it to develop into a 50-seat restaurant-function center complete with a 20-space commercial parking lot, to include light poles and directional signage, all under the disguise of running &amp;#8220;tea parties&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Silver Scone Teas LLC / The Mill Brook House Event Center began running as an illegal business out of the home at the corner of River Road and Currier Road In 2020. During this time, they have held live bands, dinners with alcohol, elaborately themed parties, and large functions of all types for profit, all without any regard for the neighbors, zoning approval, permits, fire inspections, licenses, or paying any state or local taxes. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;During this time, they have also cut down large sections of woodland areas and removed a large section of antique stone walls along scenic Currier Road and have begun to construct their parking lot, disrupting wetlands and the natural balance of the area. They have advertised on social media, radio, and newspapers for weddings, bridal showers, themed parties of any type, fox hunts, tea parties, and catered functions of all types for up to 70 people all the while trying to convince the town and the local Zoning Board that they are only holding &amp;#8220;tea Parties&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;Only after being caught running their illegal business for two years they are now trying to petition the town for a special variance that would allow them to operate their business full-time in an established rural family neighborhood. If allowed the charm and character that has existed in Bank Village for nearly 200 years will be changed and lost to commercial development forever. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While we encourage small businesses and can all appreciate a business of this type wanting to locate in the area, we only ask they be in a properly zoned and approved commercial area and not in a residential neighborhood. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;We need your help! Please help us save and preserve our village from commercial developers. We are not requesting donations but only asking that you lend your name to our petition and help preserve our wonderful community. Thank you in advance, The Neighbors of Bank Village.  &lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Help Preserve and Save Bank Village from Commercial Developers!</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1563/boycott-all-co2-mushroom-bags-including-exhaleco2-myco2-proco2</loc><lastmod>2023-10-19T20:15:52.506Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://img.youtube.com/vi//hqdefault.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Boycott all CO2 Mushroom bags including ExhaleCO2 MyCO2 ProCO2</video:title><video:description>&lt;p&gt;ExhaleCO2, MyCO2, and ProCO2 are among the most commonly used brands of CO2 bags.

Offering a safe, reliable location for night-shift workers, emergency needs, and spontaneous late-night cravings, Fastop ensures that our town remains vibrant and accessible at all hours.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Threat to Our Accessibility:&lt;/b&gt; With proposed changes that threaten to reduce Fastop’s operating hours, we face losing more than just a late-night convenience store. This change represents a step back in our community’s development, impacting all those who rely on its services during unconventional hours. Night-shift employees, emergency personnel, and travelers count on Fastop’s availability to meet their needs when most other places are closed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Join the Movement:&lt;/b&gt; The time has come to rally together and preserve this invaluable 24-hour resource.

Its one-size-fits-all approach does not accommodate diverse learning styles, leaving students disengaged and overwhelmed.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;I-Ready prioritizes test scores over meaningful learning.&lt;/b&gt; Instead of fostering curiosity and critical thinking, it forces students into hours of repetitive tasks that often do not align with their individual needs or interests. This system has turned learning into a chore, diminishing the joy and creativity that should be at the heart of education.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Teachers deserve better tools to support their students.&lt;/b&gt; I-Ready's rigid structure limits educators' ability to adapt instruction to their unique classroom dynamics. Teachers are left to rely on a program that fails to capture the full picture of a student’s abilities, undermining their professional expertise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;We need educational solutions that truly empower students and teachers. &lt;/b&gt;By moving away from I-Ready, we can make room for innovative, adaptable, and student-centered approaches to learning. Let’s advocate for tools that inspire growth, not frustration, and ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive in a supportive and engaging educational environment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Join us in calling for a better future for education—one without I-Ready!&lt;/b&gt; Together, we can create a system that values every learner and supports meaningful progress for all.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Get rid of I-Ready</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2387/no-garbage-landfill-in-our-neighborhood</loc><lastmod>2025-03-04T04:00:14.010Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2387/no-garbage-landfill-in-our-neighborhood"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Say No to a Garbage Landfill in Our Neighborhood!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our community is under threat!

Today, that right is under immediate threat. Top officials in the current administration have publicly stated they are considering suspending this crucial safeguard—an action that would strip away the ability of people, including immigrant workers and refugees, to defend themselves against potentially unlawful detention.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;This is not just a legal issue—it’s a matter of fundamental human rights. Throughout American history, habeas corpus has only been suspended in the gravest emergencies, such as during the Civil War. Its presence in the Constitution is a clear recognition that unchecked government power endangers us all. The recent targeting of immigrant communities underscores why these rights matter: when habeas corpus is threatened, everyone’s liberty is at risk.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Now is the time to raise our voices. We call on all concerned individuals to speak out and demand that the government respect the Constitution. Stand up for the right to due process and against the unlawful expansion of executive powers. Join our Call Campaign—let’s defend freedom and prevent history from repeating its darkest moments.

The building management has not taken care of “The Crown” for the past several years and it is not up to the standard of these conditions.  “The Crown” is considered an A1 Property and we are entitled to seek repairs and discuss with you the amenities that need your immediate attention.  Many of us have individually met with the Property Manager during the first week of August to discuss these issues.  The only item on our list that we see addressed is the shampooing of the hallway carpets.   

Listed below are our concerns that need to be addressed.  This is not an exhaustive list, but a reasonable place to start. 

Security and Safety:  **MOST IMPORTANT**
- Break-ins, Squatting, Packages stolen (multiple August 20th) – There was yet another incident on Sunday, September 25th, 2022 in which no communication was sent out to the residents about how First Light Management is going to address the security issues that continue to threaten our safety throughout the building.
- Sometimes when you pull hard enough on the Front Door is will open
- The white doors to the garbage area have not been locked – This causes a security breach    
- We need more management communication to residents
- Self-guided tours are not acceptable
- No management on-site for the past 3 years
- What happened to the monthly / quarterly community get together?
- We need ONLY resident to be allowed elevator and stairwell access to get to the rooftop and basement parking areas.

Garage:
- Articles left in individual parking spaces – it’s better but not resolved
- Occasional smell of sewage – This has been resolved
- Cleaning – Garage has only been power sprayed one time in 5 years to remove debris, pet hair, dirt, etc…. – not resolved.  Would be nice to have this done again.
- Retail Parking Garage – Trash, etc……cleaned more often 

Building Cleanliness of Building Common Areas:
- Entrance, Stairwells, Trash bins, Elevator, Hallways, Gray door- Not resolved
- Cleaning of outside windows (cleaned 3x in 5 years) especially for the Santa Monica side of building
- Remind residents what items can go on their respective balconies
- Marketing on side of building – this may have been resolved since we have not seen it in the past few months. 

Rooftop:  
- Flooring needs to be assessed and treated at least once a year.  Risk Issue/ Aesthetically unpleasing
- Furniture / lounges have not been maintained and need immediate repair and or replacement
- Lights have water in them and are yellow and need replaced
- Recommending cacti be moved back to the west gate area.  Blocks the beautiful 360 view if you are sitting in the SPA.
- TV is still not working
- Fireplace remote needs replaced and white area surrounding the fireplace needs to be power sprayed
- Grill cleaning sets need replaced; refrigerators/ice makers need cleaned

Gym:
- Cleanliness – (Floor, Mirrors, Glass, Equipment has not been properly cleaned and maintained. 
- Wipes are terrible since they have been changed out.  Need better wipes and a sanitizer that works properly

Yet, millions of individuals continue to be left behind, unable to access the educational, economic, and social opportunities that the digital age offers. The digital divide exacerbates existing inequities, leaving marginalized communities even more isolated and disadvantaged.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Our Mission&lt;/b&gt; is to ensure that every person, regardless of their geographical location, socioeconomic status, or background, has equitable access to digital resources. By advocating for increased broadband infrastructure, affordable internet services, and the provision of digital devices and literacy programs, we aim to create a more inclusive and empowered society.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How You Can Help:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Raise Awareness:&lt;/b&gt; Educate your community about the importance of digital inclusion and the barriers faced by underserved populations.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Advocate for Policy Change:&lt;/b&gt; Support legislation and initiatives focused on expanding digital infrastructure and reducing costs for internet services.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support Local Initiatives:&lt;/b&gt; Volunteer or donate to local organizations working tirelessly to provide digital access and training.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;The digital divide is a solvable issue, but it requires collective effort and commitment.

[Name],&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Israeli forces have illegally intercepted another humanitarian flotilla en route to deliver vital food, aid, and medical support to the Gaza Strip, amidst what the United Nations has concluded is a genocide. 9 boats carrying 145 peaceful activists and medical workers have been blocked from reaching Palestine’s shoreline, in another extension of Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza.

145 activists on the flotilla are now being forcibly and illegally transferred to detention in Israeli custody in the UN-designated apartheid state, where previous activists have been stripped, humiliated, and abused. A flotilla interception in 2010 saw Israeli forces kill ten activists and wound 30 more whilst sailing to deliver humanitarian aid, highlighting the urgency of your attention to this current situation.

Israel also currently holds 11,000 Palestinians hostage in detention, with their abuse well-documented and commonplace, including psychological and physical torture, sexual assault, and rape of captives.

Israel has no legal right to intercept these ships or to forcibly detain and transfer the activists on board against their will. You must ensure their safety and ensure their continued passage to Gaza to deliver this life-saving aid to Palestinians enduring a famine and genocide.

This power is limited and applies only in exceptional circumstances – when two-thirds of the Council agrees and there is clear and broad consensus (from the School Committee and the District) that our schools are being shortchanged.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before the Council even voted tonight, the Mayor made clear she does not support Chapter 329. The City Council unanimously adopted it anyway because it is important to our democratic process and the health of our schools. It now awaits the Mayor’s signature.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This year’s school funding deliberations have revealed how important it is for power to NOT be concentrated in the hands of one person. The Mayor has repeatedly resisted the groundswell of overwhelming, united appeals – from educators, parents, community members, and the School Committee – that more school funding is crucial. Last night, in the face of the Mayor’s resistance, the School Committee approved a budget that, while more than originally set forth, does NOT meet the needs our educators have clearly outlined. The Mayor also made clear that any increase is a one-time “gift,” with no provision for it to be included in future budgets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We cannot allow one individual to dictate the future of our schools, and override overwhelming community and government consensus, based on political convenience or personal preference. SPS and the School Committee must be set up for success in future to write a budget that aligns with actual student need, not mayoral preference. It’s time to stand up for our students, teachers, and families. Urge the Mayor to sign off on the adoption of Chapter 329 so our elected officials can act when our schools are urgently underfunded.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The last thing we need in 2025 is further concentration of power in the hands of one executive. Adoption of Chapter 329 will democratize our school budgeting process and safeguard our schools.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;-Anna and Abby&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Democratic Control of School Funding</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/674/end-corporate-funding-for-politicians-who-undermine-our-democracy</loc><lastmod>2022-01-06T02:28:45.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/674/end-corporate-funding-for-politicians-who-undermine-our-democracy"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Many large corporate political donors took swift action after the January 6th Capitol riots by committing to withhold future donations from the Members of Congress who lied about the validity of our Presidential Election which fueled the violence that we all witnesses that day. However, there is a lot more work to do! As time passed a bunch of companies have broken their promise to withhold funding from the Republican Members of Congress who helped insight the attack on Congress by refusing the certify Joe Biden's election victory. 

We need to send their corporate executives a clear demand: never again fund these anti-democratic politicians. These Congressional members who refused to certify the valid election results -- despite no proof of fraud, despite state and federal courts rejecting 60+ baseless lawsuits, despite Donald Trump’s own Department of Justice affirming the election’s validity -- attempted to disenfranchise millions of voters. They tried to overturn an American election. They lied repeatedly to their constituents and created the conditions for the Jan 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The article relayed factual coverage of residents’ concerns, but was pulled from the LTM website less than 24 hours after it was published.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another version of the article appeared with problematic revisions. The removal, and subsequent revision of this article raises troubling questions about silencing of pro-Palestine voices. The numerous residents who spoke come from various backgrounds, races, ethnicities, religions, genders, and age groups, representing a wide array of Loudoun County’s community. By removing and then editing this article, it appears that your publication is marginalizing these voices, which risks limiting the diversity of views that are so vital in today’s media landscape.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I urge you to reinstate the original article on the website as a demonstration of LTM’s commitment to journalistic integrity and inclusive reporting.

Because of her position on the school board, Ms. Cokley received many threats, had her tires slashed, and received a threatening text message stating that her son's life would be taken.  Several weeks after receiving the text, in December of 2021, her healthy, 23 year old son mysteriously had a heart attack and subsequently died.  Investigators refuse to further look into the cause of his death.  Given all the harassment and threats that Ms. Cokley received, we demand that Daiquan's death be investigated further to rule out whether it was linked to the death threat that was received.

Every individual deserves dignity, support, and access to resources that promote well-being. Instead of resorting to harmful language or stigmatizing actions, we must foster a culture of empathy and understanding. Mental health challenges affect millions worldwide, and our response should reflect compassion, not judgment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our movement calls for a shift in how we talk about and treat mental health. We advocate for policies and practices that prioritize mental wellness, reduce stigma, and ensure that everyone receives the care they need. By promoting open conversations and supporting those in distress, we create safer, more inclusive communities. It is essential to recognize that mental health is not a joke or a punchline, but a serious issue that requires thoughtful action and collective responsibility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We urge society to move away from harmful stereotypes and language that perpetuate stigma. Instead, let us champion kindness, education, and access to mental health resources. Together, we can build a world where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported. Join us in creating a future where mental health is treated with the seriousness and compassion it deserves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Key actions include:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Advocating for mental health education in schools and workplaces&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Supporting policies that expand access to mental health services&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Encouraging open, respectful conversations about mental health&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Challenging harmful language and stereotypes in media and daily life&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Put that nigga in a straight jacket </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2299/mejores-escuelas-en-glasscock-county-isd-para-mi-hijoa</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T21:11:44.353Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2299/mejores-escuelas-en-glasscock-county-isd-para-mi-hijoa"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Estimado miembro de la Junta Escolar de Glasscock County,&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;Como padre y miembro de la comunidad, quiero asegurarme de que todos los estudiantes tengan acceso a una educación de alta calidad que los prepare para el futuro con las habilidades que necesitan para obtener excelentes empleos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yo apoyo:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Ampliar las opciones de escuelas públicas, tanto del distrito como chárter, de alta calidad&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Retener maestros de alta calidad, brindándoles mayor acceso a capacitación integral, apoyo e incentivos&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Fortalecer los programas de Educación Técnica y Profesional (CTE) para conectar a los estudiantes con oportunidades laborales del mundo real&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Crear entornos de aprendizaje seguros para estudiantes y maestros&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;El futuro de nuestros niños depende de buenas escuelas.

His case remains unsolved. Over the past two decades, requests to access his case file have been ignored or denied — again and again for various reasons.&lt;/b&gt;

The Phenix City Police Department has stated that they’ve exhausted all leads, that the case will remain in their jurisdiction, and that case materials will not be shared with anyone outside of law enforcement.

But here’s the truth: if all leads are exhausted and the case remains inactive, why are families like ours still being denied access to the file? We're asking for the opportunity to have it reviewed by independent professionals with law enforcement experience who may see what others have missed.

We believe it’s time for Alabama to follow the federal government’s lead. In 2022, the &lt;b&gt;Homicide Victims’ Families’ Rights Act (HVFRA)&lt;/b&gt; became law. It gives families the right to request a review of a cold case after three years — provided all leads have been exhausted — and mandates that modern investigative techniques be applied. This law acknowledges what families already know: access to information can reignite hope and bring new life to cold cases long ignored.

We’ve also contacted state legislators, but have received no response.

That’s why we’re turning to the public.

&lt;b&gt;We need your voice to pressure local officials, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, Governor Kay Ivey and lawmakers to:

Grant access to Eric’s case file
Support legislation like HVFRA at the state level.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;Respect the rights of families who deserve answers, not silence!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📢 Share this campaign. Speak out.

When claims are denied, patients often have to put off treatment while they appeal, scrape together money, or seek alternative therapies. These delays may result in worsened health, hospitalizations, or even death for people with urgent needs or chronic diseases. The ambiguity and disruption can have a unfavorable effect on mental health, intensifying the initial illness. Californians have seen enhanced patient safeguards under the new Physicians Make Decisions Act, which formally took effect in January of this year. This historic bill, which was written by Senator Josh Becker, guarantees that licensed healthcare professionals make judgments regarding medical treatments rather than relying exclusively on artificial intelligence algorithms that are employed by insurance companies. Other states should follow suit and implement the same AI ban mandates as California.&amp;nbsp;I am emailing my representatives and asking them to say no to AI batch denials.</image:caption><image:title>Say no to AI batch denials for health insurance</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2848/say-no-to-redwoods-rezoning-request-in-comstock</loc><lastmod>2025-12-12T02:11:05.423Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2848/say-no-to-redwoods-rezoning-request-in-comstock"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fsay-no-to-redwoods-rezoning-request-in-comstock?alt=media&amp;token=8ab866f9-d777-4691-b59c-3c3c44c91d03</image:loc><image:caption>&amp;nbsp;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;We, the residents of this neighborhood, respectfully oppose the proposed rezoning of the 20.5-acre parcel currently zoned for its existing use.

cancer, regardless of family cancer history or a known genetic mutation in the family. This is a

Cancer Act aims to address gaps in Medicare coverage so individuals at high risk of cancer have
access to these crucial services. This legislation amends Medicare to:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span&gt;1. Require coverage of guideline-recommended genetic testing for inherited mutations known
to significantly increase cancer risk in two Medicare populations: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span&gt;(i) those with a known hereditary cancer mutation in their family, and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span&gt;(ii) those with a personal or family history suspicious for hereditary cancer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;span&gt;2. Require coverage of appropriate follow-up services for Medicare beneficiaries who have an
inherited mutation causing an increased risk of cancer,:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span&gt;(i) increased cancer screening (e.g. breast MRIs, more frequent colonoscopies) and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span&gt;(ii) risk-reducing surgeries (e.g. removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;These services are covered for Americans with private insurance and Medicaid, but unfortunately
not Medicare. Lack of access to these lifesaving services exacerbate health disparities and
adversely affect Medicare beneficiaries, Medicare, and the U.S. healthcare system as a whole.
With access to more early detection, individuals would detect cancer earlier when it is more easily
treated, better understand their personal cancer risks for multiple cancers, make informed decisions
about the type and frequency of cancer screenings, and inform family members about their
potential cancer risks.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Expand Medicare beneficiary access to cancer prevention resources</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1898/boycott-usa-products-for-attacks-on-womens-rights</loc><lastmod>2024-11-08T20:49:12.908Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1898/boycott-usa-products-for-attacks-on-womens-rights"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>The USA has elected a known, convicted felon as President and is stripping women of their reproductive and other Civil Rights.&lt;p&gt;Please BOYCOTT ALL USA PRODUCTS INDUSTRIES AND FOOD SOURCES until this regime is ended!&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>BOYCOTT USA PRODUCTS FOR ATTACKS ON WOMENS RIGHTS!</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2838/make-america-catholic</loc><lastmod>2025-11-04T19:39:16.760Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2838/make-america-catholic"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fmake-america-catholic?alt=media&amp;token=c0a02a3c-1553-43a6-8d5f-49bcda93fe02</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;In a nation searching for deeper meaning and unity, the call to &lt;b&gt;Make America Catholic!&lt;/b&gt; seeks to inspire a renaissance of faith, hope, and love rooted in the enduring wisdom of Catholic social teaching. At a time when polarization and inequality threaten the common good, this movement invites Americans of all backgrounds to rediscover the Catholic vision of human dignity, solidarity, and justice for all—especially the poor, the vulnerable, and the marginalized.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Catholic social teaching, grounded in the Gospel and centuries of reflection, offers a compelling alternative to the fragmentation of our civic life. It upholds the &lt;u&gt;equal dignity of every person&lt;/u&gt;, regardless of race, wealth, or status, and calls us to build communities where no one is left behind. This tradition champions affordable health care, dignified work, safe neighborhoods, and compassion for immigrants—reminding us that these are not privileges for the few, but rights owed to all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recent national discussions reveal a hunger for moral leadership that transcends partisan divides. The Catholic tradition, with its commitment to the common good, respect for life at every stage, and care for our common home, provides a moral compass that can help heal our society.

All signatures will be collected by the Oceanic Preservation Society and delivered together as a single petition to the listed decision-makers. Signing this petition does not send an individual email to the targets. The petition will be formally submitted by Oceanic Preservation Society on behalf of all signers.&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Stop Whale Deaths from Ship Strikes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ship strikes are now one of the leading known causes of whale deaths worldwide. As commercial shipping traffic increases and new research shows that whales travel farther and more widely during migration than previously understood, the risk of lethal collisions is growing rapidly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When vessels travel at high speeds, ship strikes are almost always fatal for whales.

This crisis has a clear solution. Scientific evidence consistently shows that reducing vessel speeds and rerouting shipping lanes away from critical whale habitats dramatically reduces the likelihood of deadly collisions. These measures have already proven effective in multiple regions, including protections for blue whales near Sri Lanka and routing changes for North Atlantic right whales off the U.S. East Coast.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Our Goal&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We call on the United States government to exercise leadership in international shipping policy by advancing enforceable whale-protection measures at the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the United Nations body responsible for regulating global maritime traffic.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Specifically, we urge the following agencies and institutions to act within their respective authorities:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD), within the U.S. Department of Transportation, to lead U.S. engagement on international maritime policy and submit proposals to the IMO that prioritize whale protection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The International Maritime Organization (IMO) Secretariat and member states to consider and adopt mandatory measures that reduce the risk of whale ship strikes globally.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of International and Tribal Affairs, to support and coordinate U.S. environmental leadership within international maritime and treaty processes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service and NOAA Fisheries, to provide scientific leadership and data supporting vessel speed reductions and whale-safe routing measures.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;We call for the following actions:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mandatory vessel speed limits requiring commercial ships to travel no faster than 10 knots in designated whale migration, feeding, and breeding areas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Whale-safe shipping corridors that reroute vessel traffic away from high-density whale habitats where ship strikes are most likely.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Coordinated U.S. leadership at the IMO to move these protections from voluntary guidance to enforceable international standards.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whales cannot survive continued inaction. The science is clear, the solutions already exist, and the institutions responsible for global shipping policy have both the authority and responsibility to act now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Take Action&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sign this petition to call on the U.S. Maritime Administration, NOAA, the EPA, and the International Maritime Organization to stop deadly whale ship strikes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our collective voice can push U.S. leaders to advance mandatory vessel speed limits and whale-safe shipping corridors that are proven to save lives.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whales cannot speak for themselves — but together we can demand science-based protections that put ocean life before convenience and profit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What happens after you sign&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;OPS will collate all signatures and submit this petition as a single formal filing on your behalf.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Stop Whale Deaths: Enforce 10-Knot Speed Limits</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2234/mejores-escuelas-en-coahoma-isd-para-la-comunidad</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T16:13:11.514Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2234/mejores-escuelas-en-coahoma-isd-para-la-comunidad"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Estimada Junta Escolar de Coahoma ISD,&lt;p&gt;Estoy interesado/a en el éxito de nuestro sistema educativo local porque es la base que garantiza que nuestra juventud y comunidad prosperen.

Still, across the country, policies and systemic neglect have created situations where women’s lives are at risk every day in states that deny life saving healthcare. Many women face life-threatening circumstances during pregnancy and you shouldn’t have to lose a loved one to care. Start caring before it’s too late.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Our campaign asks a critical question:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; How can we call ourselves patriotic when we allow preventable tragedies to occur? Standing by as women lose their lives is not something you should boast about or take pride in; it’s a call to action. We must unite to address these injustices and demand better for our sisters.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Here’s what we stand for:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Ensuring accessible and affordable healthcare for all women.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Fighting against laws and policies that endanger women’s lives and bodily autonomy.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Advocating for stronger protections against gender-based violence.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Creating a nation where every woman feels safe, valued, and empowered.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Patriotism isn’t just about symbols or words; it’s about action. True patriots critique there countries because they love them so much, they would do anything to better it. So call your legislators, talk to friends and family and raise awareness by posting on social media.

Thank you!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Michigan House Bill 5578 aims to protect children from a parent who has committed criminal sexual conduct against minors. &lt;/b&gt;However, the current language appears to create a situation where a protective parent who is complying with a court ordered custody arrangement could risk losing custody simply for following that order.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The current wording of the bill may result in custody being removed from both parents rather than specifically preventing placement with the offending parent.&lt;/b&gt; Family courts often ignore reports of abuse, even child sexual abuse, and order continued contact with an abusive parent. This already puts a protective parent in an impossible position. They may fear for the child’s safety at the other parent’s home, but risk contempt of court, jail, and loss of custody if they withhold parenting time due to concerns for the child’s safety.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;House Bill 5578 could further penalize safe parents with a potential complete loss of custody for complying with a custody order. &lt;b&gt;PLEASE WRITE AND CALL THE REPRESENTATIVES ON THE FAMILIES AND VETERANS COMMITTEE AND ASK THEM TO OPPOSE HB 5578 to ensure it protects children AND maintains custody for safe, protective parents.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>House Bill 5578 Could remove Custody from Protective Parents </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1914/recall-and-rethink-hb1227</loc><lastmod>2025-11-11T12:56:27.831Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1914/recall-and-rethink-hb1227"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fkeeping-kids-safe?alt=media&amp;token=e005b262-881c-417a-adea-76d493810afd</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;b&gt;Keeping Kids SAFE – A Call to Action&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Every child deserves to grow up in a safe environment, free from harm and danger.

We refuse to let beauty profits fund a billionaire’s private attempt to reshape global borders and exploit sovereign resources.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;While Estée Lauder markets itself as a brand of luxury and empowerment, its heir and major shareholder, Ronald Lauder, is actively leveraging his 60-year friendship with President Donald Trump to reshape global borders. Reports indicate that Lauder was the primary architect of the "Greenland Initiative"—a plan to purchase the sovereign territory of Greenland from Denmark for its strategic minerals and Arctic shipping routes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lauder has funneled millions into political campaigns, including a $5 million donation to the MAGA Inc. super PAC in early 2025, effectively using cosmetic-derived profits to fund an administration that supports his private Arctic ambitions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ronald Lauder has reportedly served as an "unofficial advisor" to the White House, using his position to push for the acquisition of Greenland—a move that has caused a significant diplomatic rift with Denmark and ignored the sovereignty of the Greenlandic people. His advocacy for U.S. control of Greenland directly aligns with his personal investments in the region, including the Greenland Water Bank (luxury bottled water) and the Greenland Investment Group, which seeks to control hydroelectric projects for industrial smelting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Estée Lauder Companies have been linked to systemic issues including securities fraud, child labor in supply chains, and discriminatory practices within corporate leadership. Furthermore, a 2011 New York Times investigation detailed Lauder’s use of accounting loopholes to avoid billions in tax obligations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Corporate accountability is no longer just about business—it's about stopping the "privatization" of global foreign policy. When we buy a lipstick or a serum from a Lauder brand, our money directly powers a network that views sovereign territories as "frontiers" for extraction. We are choosing to withhold our support to prove a simple point: global resources and national sovereignty are not for sale to the highest donor. By acting together, we turn our consumer choices into a demand for a more ethical and transparent world. We believe that no billionaire should be allowed to use a cosmetic empire to treat a sovereign nation like a private real estate deal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Companies &amp;amp; Entities to Boycott:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Aerin&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aramis&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aveda&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Balmain Beauty&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bobbi Brown&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bumble &amp;amp; Bumble&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Clinique&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Darphin&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;DECIEM&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr. Jart&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Editions de Parfums&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Frederic Malle&amp;nbsp; Glamglow&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jo Malone&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kilian Paris&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lab Series&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;La Mer&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Le Labo&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MAC&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NIOD&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Origins&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Smash box&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Ordinary&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tom Ford Beauty&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Too Faced&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We know that skincare and makeup are personal, and finding products that work for you is a process.

She was owned by a man named John Rolfe, this man forced her hand in marriage at the age of 17-18 years old. He then raped her, and forced her to carry his child. Once Matoaka had her child she was promised to be taken back to her native home land. She boarded a ship at 19-20 years old, she died on the voyage back to America. Some historians say she died of small pox as this was a common cause of death in the 1600’s. Although some historians also say that there is a reason to believe Matoaka was poisoned by John Rolfe in retaliation. Matoaka was then buried in the UK at St. George’s church. For hundreds of years indigenous Americans have pleaded that her remains be returned to her native land so that she can receive the proper burial She deserves. Our pleads have been ignored time after time. The records showing where her remains where Buried have since perished in a church fire. Now the location of Matoaka’s remains are “unknown”. 

This painting is a false representation of how history actually happened. This just goes to show Our US government takes pride in the mass genocide and forceful religious conversion us indigenous Americans had to endure. We indigenous Americans call for the removal of this painting, as it is not a accurate representation of our American history! Our true American history has been erased and continuously rewritten by the same people who have caused hundreds of years of pain and suffering.
Our voices will no longer be silenced!</image:caption><image:title>Remove the painting “The baptism of Pocahontas” from US Capitol </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2049/ban-mr-levine-from-all-schools</loc><lastmod>2025-01-20T19:04:09.049Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2049/ban-mr-levine-from-all-schools"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fban-mr-levine-from-all-schools?alt=media&amp;token=9555e4c0-8e24-41a1-89c5-219373e945d2</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Our schools should be safe and nurturing environments where students can learn, grow, and thrive without fear or harm.

It is imperative that we prioritize the well-being, safety, and future of our children.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reports and observations have consistently highlighted troubling patterns of behavior by Mr. Levine that are incompatible with the values and standards we expect in our schools. These behaviors undermine the trust and security that students and staff need to foster a productive learning environment. This is not an isolated issue, but a recurring concern that warrants immediate action.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;By supporting the call to ban Mr. Levine from all schools, we are taking a stand for accountability and the protection of our students. Our children deserve educators and role models who inspire, uplift, and guide them in positive ways. We must ensure that the actions we take today will safeguard their futures and uphold the integrity of our education system.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Let us come together as a community to send a clear message: the safety and well-being of our students are non-negotiable.

The latest focus is on McDonald’s, a global giant accused of price gouging, dodging taxes, and pushing unfair labor practices. But this movement is about more than burgers and fries—it's about taking collective action to challenge systems that exploit workers, ignore genuine equity, and harm our communities.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;The grassroots force behind this boycott, The People’s Union USA, is leading the charge against not only McDonald’s, but also companies like Walmart, Amazon, and Nestlé. These boycotts demand real accountability for corporations that diminish diversity, silence workers, and use their power to shape policies that keep communities divided and disadvantaged.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;When we refuse to spend our dollars with these companies, we reclaim our power. On boycott days, support your local small businesses instead. Every purchase is a choice, and every act of solidarity sends a message that we will not support corporations that profit at the expense of people and the planet.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Say no to unfair labor practices.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Demand real action on diversity, equity, and inclusion.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Choose community over corporate greed.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Together, we can make our voices heard and push for a more just and sustainable future.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>McDonald’s must learn-hit them in the wallet </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2816/make-river-rocha-act-his-age-hes-17-btw-go-fuck-yourself</loc><lastmod>2025-10-21T22:39:52.382Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2816/make-river-rocha-act-his-age-hes-17-btw-go-fuck-yourself"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fmake-river-rocha-act-his-age-hes-17-btw-go-fuck-yourself?alt=media&amp;token=86e53950-8382-4955-942d-20966337be31</image:loc><image:caption>make river act his age sign here today to save lucas rroberts life</image:caption><image:title>make River Rocha act his age he's 17 btw go fuck yourself </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1389/free-arsen-from-playing-private-lobbies</loc><lastmod>2022-09-25T10:02:33.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1389/free-arsen-from-playing-private-lobbies"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Arsen has been captured in Chicago gaming arena and is being tortured by stuff and customers by playing private lobbies with it.

&lt;p&gt;We urge the Senate to decisively vote down Bill H.R. 9495, a legislative menace threatening the essence of nonprofit organizations. This bill equips the U.S. Treasury Department with the unchecked power to revoke a nonprofit’s tax-exempt status simply based on perceived support for terrorism—without a transparent, evidentiary process. Such a move not only undermines our justice system's principles but also endangers the vital work nonprofits do for our communities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The implications of this bill are far-reaching and deeply troubling. &lt;b&gt;The lack of transparency and potential for political abuse&lt;/b&gt; could turn a critical sector—dedicated to addressing societal challenges—into victims of vague and arbitrary decisions. Nonprofits, which already navigate a complex web of regulatory requirements, could face paralyzing uncertainty and unfair scrutiny that stifles their advocacy and outreach efforts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;This chilling effect on advocacy&lt;/b&gt; is not just a theoretical risk but a direct threat to the vulnerable populations that rely on the essential services provided by these organizations. Whether it's health care, education, or human rights, the ability of nonprofits to operate freely without fear of unwarranted penalties ensures they can continue their vital work. Moreover, current laws already robustly address any misuse of funds for terror activities, affirming that additional legislation is unnecessary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We call on the Senate to recognize these grave concerns and act to protect both the integrity of the nonprofit sector and our nation's commitment to justice and transparency. Say no to Bill H.R. 9495.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Tell The Senate to support nonprofits and vote down Bill HR 9495 </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/974/preserve-chester-springs-from-over-development</loc><lastmod>2022-07-13T16:02:08.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/974/preserve-chester-springs-from-over-development"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>We the undersigned petition the West Vincent Board of Supervisors to vote NO on McKee's plan for a 285 unit 55+ community on the Bennett Farm.

These individuals were chanting, dancing, and engaging in an overall celebratory atmosphere.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;b&gt;There is no evidence that the students used any form of violence. In fact, The only violence was perpetrated by law enforcement against students and the faculty and community members who supported them.&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;These students are brave for having a conscious and participating in a worldwide student movement. By using violence against them and using harsh punishment they have further alienated and traumatized these students. Our students go to university to learn to be leaders and then are punished when they stand up for the oppressed. There was no need to expose our students to such violence.

Why is it that when we gather in such large numbers, demanding change, the world remains indifferent? I've seen firsthand how traditional approaches sometimes fail to yield results, leaving us frustrated and disheartened. However, the recent events, like boycotting that brought back Jimmy Kimmel in just two days, prove that targeted, collective action still works.

Imagine, if instead of just marching, we amplify our demands with nation-wide strikes and boycotts. Imagine the power of millions standing in unity, refusing to support systems and organizations that ignore the urgent cries for justice, reform, and accountability. History teaches us that when we disrupt the status quo, change becomes inevitable. One need not look further than the impactful Montgomery Bus Boycott that pivoted the American civil rights movement or the Indian independence movement's call for non-cooperation.

We share vast networks on social media, platforms to mobilize and unify like never before. Let's wield this power to stand against policies and practices that undermine our rights. Let's leverage our economic influence to remind leaders that without us, they hold no power. Whether it’s through refusing to shop at non-supportive businesses or halting our workday operations, our absence will resonate louder than any single voice can manage.

By sustaining coordinated, peaceful actions focused on specific issues, such as climate change or racial inequality, we show resilience and determination on a national scale. We have the opportunity to send a clear message: we will not sit idly by as injustices prevail. Our collective strength lies in our unity, and by coming together, we can catalyze the change we’ve all been aspiring to see.

Please join this petition to commit to organizing and participating in nation-wide strikes and boycotts. Sign your name if you believe in the strength and fortitude of the people, if you believe that through solidarity we can redirect the course of our society. Let us stand together and demonstrate the power of unified, peaceful protest for the world to see. Sign the petition today and be a part of the movement for tangible change.&amp;nbsp;</image:caption><image:title>Nation Wide Boycott and Strike</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2168/insurers-must-cover-breast-screening-and-diagnostics</loc><lastmod>2025-10-22T00:25:03.983Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2168/insurers-must-cover-breast-screening-and-diagnostics"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Finsurers-must-cover-breast-screening-diagnostics?alt=media&amp;token=38fa29aa-c3d1-4081-bc2d-cce53d8c53f7</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Support the &lt;b&gt;Find It Early Act&lt;/b&gt; and Require Insurers to Cover

Weapons of war have no place in civilian hands.

We are also demanding Congress bring universal background checks to the Senate floor for a vote. The vast majority of Americans (~90%) believe requiring background checks for every firearm sale should be written into law.

Let's stand together to tell Congress to bring universal background checks to the Senate floor for a vote and demand passing S. 736, the Assault Weapons Ban of 2021.

With this passed more and more chronically ill and disabled patients like myself are left without working caregivers. 

More hospitals are continuing to be left under staffed losing nurses and doctors. 

More nursing homes are left stressed with lack of staff which means more vulnerable people like the elderly and disabled are being abused, taken advantage of and neglected than ever before! 

More chronically ill people have died through this pandemic due to the lack of staff and resources than covid itself. 

Why is this? 
Because once this act was passed the caregiver to client or nurse/doctor to patient ratio have surged to the point that there is not enough care available for chronically ill patients and this ultimately is actually what led to more people dying from covid as well. 

This also contributes to the lack of trauma based emergency response turn around time for those in need of emergency medical assistance. 

The lack of available hospital beds all across the country due to the increase of demand for care leaving more patients sick with less staff available to care for them.

In addition more chronically ill patients are being rushed to discharge sooner than expected leaving quicker readmission within 1-3 days.

The more people on unemployment benefits the less people working and the less people who work the more strain this puts on our economy.

Do you want gas prices to go down and rent to stop increasing?

Do you want services that have been cut like “medicaid funding” changes to become available again to those need?

Do you want more vacation time? Those on unemployment are forcing you to work more to compensate for their lack of contribution to the working class economy. 

Do you want disabled people to have access to the care they deserve and need for survival at the will of those who simply “choose not to work” because they have more readily options to do so?

If you work and said yes to any of those then please sign this petition. 


With Need Rising, Medicaid Is at Risk for Cuts (July 2020)

“ The growing need for Medicaid coincides with a major state budget crisis. States budget shortfalls are projected to total $555 billion through state fiscal year 2022, largely because revenues have fallen precipitously and will not recover until the virus is under control and economic activity rebounds. Federal policymakers acted quickly in March to provide additional Medicaid funding and institute protections that keep states from cutting eligibility or taking away coverage from current enrollees. Even so, a number of states have made or are considering Medicaid cuts, including reductions in provider payments, reversals of planned and needed coverage improvements, and furloughs and hiring freezes impacting eligibility workers. States are also cutting behavioral health programs, and, even in the midst of a pandemic, are cutting their public health budgets.” cbpp.org 


President’s Budget Would Hurt People With Disabilities 

“President Trump’s 2021 budget would make it harder for millions of people with disabilities to afford such basics as food, housing, and health care by cutting tens of billions of dollars from disability programs, including Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). And it would compound the hit for those with disabilities by also severely cutting Medicaid, food assistance, and housing vouchers, all while proposing to extend tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit those at the top.” cbpp.org 


The 2021 American Nursing Shortage: A Data Study (May 2021)

“ As of February 2021, registered nursing was the fifth-most in-demand job in the American workforce, according to LinkedIn.3  Healthcare facilities are searching for skilled RNs because they are facing increased patient demand for care.

The country has a larger population over the age of 65 than ever before in its history, composed primarily of baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964). This 65+ demographic has grown rapidly, jumping from 41 million people in 2011 to 71 million in 2019—a whopping 73% increase.4  And the U.S. Census Bureau projected that number to continue to rise, estimating it will reach 73 million by 2030.5

With better and more accessible healthcare, the growing population of seniors requires more health services due to age-related conditions. Lengthened lifespans stretch out the timeframe when patients require services, thus adding pressure to an already strained healthcare system.” www.usa.edu

Pandemic-fueled shortages of home health aides strand patients without care (Feb 2022)

Pandemic-fueled shortages of home health aides strand patients without care
By Judith Graham, Kaiser Health News 
Updated 4:32 AM EST, Thu February 03, 2022
Many seniors are going without needed assistance during the pandemic. 

(CNN) Frail older adults are finding it harder than ever to get paid help amid acute staff shortages at home health agencies.

Several trends are fueling the shortages: Hospitals and other employers are hiring away home health workers with better pay and benefits. Many aides have fallen ill or been exposed to Covid-19 during the recent surge of omicron cases and must quarantine for a time. And staffers are burned out after working during the pandemic in difficult, anxiety-provoking circumstances.

The implications for older adults are dire. Some seniors who are ready for discharge are waiting in hospitals or rehabilitation centers for several days before home care services can be arranged. Some are returning home with less help than would be optimal. Some are experiencing cutbacks in services. And some simply can't find care. CNN.com

It Likely Violates the First Amendment&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Panhandling is protected speech under the First Amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that asking for charitable donations is expressive activity. In Reed v. Town of Gilbert, the Court held that laws targeting speech based on its content are subject to strict scrutiny. This bill specifically regulates in-person requests for immediate donations — meaning it is content-based.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Federal courts have struck down similar panhandling bans across the country. For example:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Norton v. City of Springfield (invalidated a panhandling ordinance after Reed)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;McLaughlin v. City of Lowell (struck down aggressive panhandling restrictions)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;This proposal would almost certainly face legal challenge, costing West Virginia taxpayers significant litigation expenses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. The Location Restrictions Amount to a Near-Total Ban&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The bill prohibits panhandling:&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Within 200 feet of major roads&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Within 150 feet of ATMs, schools, and transit stops&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Within 100 feet of commercial entrances&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Within 50 feet of crosswalks&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;In parks, parking garages, sidewalks, and rights-of-way&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Before 9 a.m. and after 6 p.m.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;When mapped onto real towns and cities, these overlapping restrictions effectively eliminate nearly all public spaces where speech could occur. Courts have consistently ruled that the government cannot impose restrictions that leave no meaningful alternative channels for communication.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is not a regulation — it is a functional ban.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. It Criminalizes Poverty&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill does not regulate behavior like harassment, threats, or obstruction — those actions are already illegal under existing West Virginia law.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead, it criminalizes the act of asking for help without a government permit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Requiring:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A state license or county permit&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Valid government I.D.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Carrying documentation at all times&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;creates barriers that disproportionately impact people experiencing homelessness, domestic violence survivors, and those lacking stable identification documents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Making poverty a misdemeanor offense does not reduce homelessness — it increases court debt, fines, and incarceration risk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Unequal Treatment and Exemptions Raise Equal Protection Concerns&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill exempts:&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fire departments&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;School extracurricular organizations&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Registered 501(c)(3) organizations&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;This means charitable solicitation is legal for institutions but criminal for individuals in need.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The First Amendment does not allow the government to favor institutional speech over individual speech simply because the speaker is poor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. It Will Cost More Than It Solves&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Enforcement will require:&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Law enforcement time&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Court resources&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Jail processing for repeat offenses&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Administrative permit systems&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Taxpayer funds will be used to punish people for asking for help instead of addressing root causes like housing instability, addiction treatment gaps, and unemployment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Evidence from other states shows that criminalization policies do not reduce homelessness — they simply move people from one location to another.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. West Virginia Values Compassion and Freedom&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;West Virginia has a strong tradition of:&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Individual liberty&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Limited government intrusion&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Community-based support&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill expands government power to regulate peaceful speech and punish poverty.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Public safety concerns — such as harassment or obstruction — can already be addressed under existing law without criminalizing peaceful requests for assistance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Oppose House Bill 5206</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2585/2nd-push-for-school-funding</loc><lastmod>2025-05-18T16:35:32.952Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2585/2nd-push-for-school-funding"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2F2nd-push-for-school-funding?alt=media&amp;token=2ce676c4-957f-4f07-90eb-98582ff5cf34</image:loc><image:caption>Reach out again to our elected officials before the vote on Wednesday.&amp;nbsp; They need to hear from us that we want them to prioritize school funding, even (especially!) in these uncertain times.</image:caption><image:title>2nd Push for School Funding</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2785/stop-touching-me-petition</loc><lastmod>2025-09-22T19:52:02.638Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2785/stop-touching-me-petition"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fstop-touching-me-petition?alt=media&amp;token=9307599e-f32b-4db3-ac1f-e3ca322574a2</image:loc><image:caption>my friends, ivan, hyuna, and luka, all touch me with disgrace. upon this petition, we shall defeat and slain thy enemies with virtue and poverty.</image:caption><image:title>stop touching me petition</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1720/justice-for-all</loc><lastmod>2023-10-29T18:08:45.058Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1720/justice-for-all"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2FJustice%20for%20ALL%20?alt=media&amp;token=a4b31638-df1a-4aaa-802a-f3e48359d573</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to the "Justice for ALL" email campaign.

Now, here are 5 reasons.&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;1. TELPAS is an unnecessary burden on students who already demonstrate their English proficiency through regular classwork and standardized tests.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. The test takes away valuable instruction time, forcing students to complete repetitive assessments instead of actually learning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. It relies on subjective scoring for writing and speaking, making the results inconsistent and unreliable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4.

Instead of wasting time on TELPAS, schools should focus on real-world English skills and meaningful assessments that actually benefit students.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Discontinue/BAN Telpas Testing</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2612/support-bill-s2547</loc><lastmod>2025-07-07T20:32:31.665Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2612/support-bill-s2547"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fsupport-bill-s2547?alt=media&amp;token=1f339675-bd9e-4b35-ac6a-aff11d2463d2</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Support Bill S2547: Building a More Inclusive Future Through Education&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Imagine a school system where every student’s background and story are valued.

Our children and youth deserve the opportunity to have a message of HOPE available to them in their schools, not as an obligation but as a free option. There is encouragement and protecting love in Psalm 91, and WE MUST NOT DENY THIS OPTION TO OUR CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!
Psalm 91’s research in American history shows: "According to the story, a commander in the US Army's 91st Infantry Division gave each soldier a card with the 91st Psalm printed on it. Soldiers took the cards into battle with the hope of being kept safe. When the actor Jimmy Stewart enlisted in the US Army Air Corps during World War II, his father gave him a letter and enclosed a copy of the same Psalm. Over time, Psalm 91 has become known as the "Soldier's Psalm." Even in recent years, American troops in Iraq have been known to read it before going on patrol."
My Petition: I suggest having posts of Psalm 91 written in English and Spanish on every classroom door in our schools to offer the students the option to read these powerful words as it is needed as a free choice.

This legislation will harm thousands of children and negatively impact every public sector in Tennessee. 

Tennessee’s existing gender-neutral law prioritizes the child’s best interests, allowing for shared custody without the&amp;nbsp; mandatory presumption model of HB1131/SB1331.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the bill may seem beneficial at first glance, it poses significant dangers when viewed through the lens of domestic violence and child abuse. 

Evidence-based research indicates that the bill represents poor public policy, endangering children, increasing the burden on judicial and DCS systems, and exacerbating issues such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), mental health challenges, addiction, and fatalities.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Proponents’ of 50/50 presumption bills, such as HB1131, misrepresent court data-by pulling custody arrangements as a whole, but not delineating which ones are agreed upon then court ordered vs which ones required judicial intervention and not referencing our own State of the Child Report- which showed 54% of child abuse perpetrators were a parent, and 80% of child abuse victims had prior contact with DCS-in Tennessee. This underscores how hard it is to criminally prosecute perpetrators for abuse if they are a parent.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please stand with Tennessee’s children and vote NO on HB1131 | SB1331. Their safety and well-being depend on it. Thank you for your time and consideration.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Vote NO HB 1131 | SB 1331 on calendar </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/925/youtube-needs-to-divorce-with-coppa-forever</loc><lastmod>2022-07-05T09:25:07.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/925/youtube-needs-to-divorce-with-coppa-forever"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>This "made for kids" thing on YouTube is getting more billions of YouTubers more angry, more upset, and more stressed that they really want the old YouTube back the way it was.

So, with this still being a huge problem to everyone around the globe, we want everyone who lives around San Bruno, California to start a week-long boycott to end COPPA's partnership with YouTube forever so that those people will never bother with YouTube ever again forever.

Children across America are losing their biological parents due to their Active-Duty Parents receiving “Accompanied” orders which exclude the Non-Military parent from accompanying the children. It is at this point that the Non-Military parent becomes legally alienated, and many children end up suffering from abandonment syndrome. 

This has a large impact on the mental health of these children.
It is a fact that a child who loses one parent are at much higher risk for suicide, substance abuse, homelessness, and behavior disorders. 

Our Federal Government needs to ensure these children can have the meaningful relationship that they are entitled to - with BOTH parents. The Federal Government should provide for the Non-Military Parent's travel expenses and visits to see their children on special occasions (i.e., graduation, religious ceremonies, etc.).

Currently, the military prevents the non-custodial parent from having ANY access to medical records, school information or functions, and mental health care needs. The military essentially assists in legal kidnapping and Parental Alienation, which is frowned upon in civilian courts.

How can we allow the violation of the rights of our children who deserve BOTH parents? There is a time-worn expression that says, "the military didn't assign you a family". 

Well, our children did not enlist.

The following is a brief overview on how some people have been dispossessed from their homes by ATTORNEYS ACTING AS JUDGES.
The paperwork filed in many of the dispossession cases were fraudulent and procedurally faulty. Unfortunately many Indigenous Americans are not familiar with legal ease or legal procedures and do not have access to accurate or helpful legal/lawful advise.  As a result people have been forcibly displaced losing all of their belongings and in some cases their minds. People who are paying mortgages have been forcibly removed from their homes for the purpose of gentrification and economic deprivation under color of law.  See the link attached hereto its a City Council Hearing from July 22, 2019 https://legistar.council.nyc.gov/Calendar.aspx
Moreover, many of the so called Landlord-Tenant Courts across the land of North America are actually Administrative Agencies run by licensed attorneys acting as judges.  Attorneys put on black robes and act as if they are judges when in fact they are licensed attorneys practicing law from the bench (which is Treason and fraud).
Our goal and the purpose of this Petition is to help protect people from losing their homes/habitats/domiciles/apartments, possibly get their homes/land back and to make it illegal/unlawful for such fraudulent quasi-judicial practices and or third-party transfer programs to continue and from persons in those agencies to be held personally financially liable for aiding and abetting such corruption.
Legislation must be submitted based on the Peoples direction for fair, equitable and constitutional enforcement of protections secured by the Constitution and Treaties related to aboriginal indigenous peoples and human rights.  Public servants are servants to We the People.
We the People have been duped by attorneys acting as Judges in defacto unconstitutional Administrative Courts that are referred to as Landlord-Tenant courts. They are court-like venues and thousands of people, mostly indigent people of color, have been fraudulently dispossessed by attorneys acting as judges helping their attorney colleagues defraud the people. Resulting in the increase in homelessness.  There is also a third-party transfer program (TTP) that has caused many people to lose their homes. They collude to figure out a way to steal peoples deeds/homes.
It is our hope that this petition will help to decrease homelessness, support affordable housing and protect indigenous peoples from such assaults, theft and discrimination.  When licensed attorneys act as judges in what appears to be a court/court-like venue they are committing fraud and treason when they practice law from the bench.   Any so called judicial Orders signed by them are void and repugnant to the Constitution for the united States of North America republic.
Moreover, what most people think are court/housing court/landlord-tenant court are in fact Administrative Agencies that are court-like venue.  That is a fraud on We the People as they require our consent to participate in those venues. However, they don't tell you that, but they trick you into giving consent when you fill out their forms. Especially in New York State.
Help protect Indigenous Americans from the emotional, economical and inhumane process of being evicted via fraudulent means. This could happen to you whether you are a renter or even a homeowner.  Please sign and share this petition with as many people as possible.  I appreciate your support. Thank you have a wonderful day.

I would sometimes do templates or just make edits using Capcut. If it weren't for Capcut then I wouldn't have gained this much followers and views on my tiktoks. The majority of my videos that get the most likes and views are edits made by Capcut. Every new editor and pro editor needs Capcut. Wheater you are just using a cool template for an edit or you are making visual effects as a pro editor, Capcut can help you. So many editors learn how to make better edits using Capcut. It is the best editting app and it would hurt so many tiktokers and youtubers if it remains banned. We are all going to get affected when there is no capcut even if you guys don't realize it. We tiktokers should have an app to where we can make cool edits and use templates. Not only is Capcut useful for making videos but it is also inspirational as well. So many templates get used because people see the videos and it inspires them to do the same thing. If the government bans Tiktok then they are taking away socializing and making it to where people can't help others. Now some may say that Capcut is banned for the same reasons that Tiktok got banned for. If Tiktok got unbanned then why can't Capcut get unbanned? Capcut is banned for the same reasons as Tiktok but now that Tiktok is unbanned then it would make sense for Capcut to get unbanned. If you want Capcut to get unbanned then sign my petition!</image:caption><image:title>Unban Capcut</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1524/regal-academy-season-3-in-year-2025</loc><lastmod>2023-01-17T22:22:42.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1524/regal-academy-season-3-in-year-2025"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Regal academy season 3 on Nickelodeon cable channels</image:caption><image:title>Regal academy season 3 in year 2025</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2651/please-co-sponsor-bill-s25474</loc><lastmod>2025-07-07T20:44:19.051Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2651/please-co-sponsor-bill-s25474"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fplease-co-sponsor-bill-s2547?alt=media&amp;token=5b0d2b19-e83a-4db8-8fa7-5c73368815cd</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Join the Movement for Inclusive Education: Support Bill S2547!&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our schools are the foundation of our future.

House Bill 2378 threatens the autonomy of these programs, imposing unnecessary restrictions that would limit their ability to operate effectively. We must take a stand to protect these vital public health services.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SSPs are evidence-based programs that reduce the transmission of HIV and hepatitis C, decrease overdose deaths, and serve as entry points to treatment and recovery services. Restricting them would not only endanger public health but also place an undue burden on local healthcare systems. By opposing House Bill 2378, we are advocating for policies that prioritize science, compassion, and community well-being.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why This Matters:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Public Health:&lt;/b&gt; SSPs reduce the spread of infectious diseases and promote safer communities.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Harm Reduction:&lt;/b&gt; These programs provide life-saving resources, including overdose prevention education.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Healthcare Access:&lt;/b&gt; SSPs connect individuals to critical medical and social services.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;We cannot allow harmful legislation to undermine the success of these programs. Stand with us in urging lawmakers to reject House Bill 2378 and protect the autonomy of Syringe Service Programs.

What started as a platform for connection has evolved into a tool that fuels anxiety, misinformation, cyberbullying, and addiction. The time has come to take a bold stand—for ourselves, for our communities, and for future generations. We are calling for a global shift to remove social media from our daily lives and prioritize real, meaningful human connection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Here’s why we must act now:&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;underline&gt;• Mental Health Crisis:&lt;/underline&gt; Numerous studies link social media use to increased depression, anxiety, and loneliness, especially among youth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;underline&gt;• Erosion of Truth:&lt;/underline&gt; Misinformation spreads faster than facts, undermining public trust and informed decision-making.&lt;br&gt;&lt;underline&gt;• Disconnection from Reality:&lt;/underline&gt; Social media fosters unrealistic expectations and superficial interactions, weakening genuine relationships.&lt;br&gt;&lt;underline&gt;• Data Exploitation:&lt;/underline&gt; Our personal information is harvested and sold, often without our knowledge or consent.&lt;br&gt;&lt;underline&gt;• Decline in Productivity:&lt;/underline&gt; Endless scrolling and notifications distract us from meaningful work and personal growth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eliminating social media may sound radical, but it is a necessary step toward restoring our mental well-being, strengthening our communities, and reclaiming our time and attention. Let’s challenge the status quo and create a world where connection is real, intentional, and empowering. Together, we can build a healthier, more humane digital future—one without social media.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>get rid of all social media</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/381/ask-the-twitter-board-to-endtrends</loc><lastmod>2021-11-01T15:10:39.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/381/ask-the-twitter-board-to-endtrends"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>For years now, Trending Topics on Twitter have played a major role in the spread of misinformation and false conspiracies.

Os professores estão implorando por um aumento de 10% no orçamento para obter mais recursos para nossos filhos e para que eles possam ganhar um salário justo. Por favor, reservem 1 minuto para enviar uma carta pré-escrita aos nossos líderes exigindo que isso aconteça. Basta adicionar seu nome, endereço/bairro e escola que seu(s) filho(s) frequenta(m) no final.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A mensagem será enviada em inglês, mas diz:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prezado Prefeito Ballantyne, Comitê Escolar e Conselho Municipal,

Escrevo hoje em apoio ao aumento do financiamento para as escolas públicas de Somerville.

As escolas têm um processo de orçamento colaborativo, o que resultou em um pedido por mais do que um aumento de "serviço por nível". Nível de serviço significa que muitas crianças não estão recebendo os serviços de que precisam e aos quais têm direito legal, muitos professores e auxiliares não estão ganhando salários suficientes e uma escola está completamente desocupada devido a atrasos na manutenção de seu prédio.

Repetidamente, na apresentação do orçamento de ontem à noite, ouvimos de nossos professores que estão sendo solicitados a fazer o impossível. Perderemos esses educadores incríveis se não fornecermos mais recursos para que eles ensinem nossos alunos.

Por favor, lembrem-se dos valores da comunidade que vocês foram eleitos para representar – isso significa priorizar nossos alunos e sua educação. Em um momento em que nossa cidade e o comitê escolar estão processando o governo federal por suas tentativas de prejudicar os alunos, não sejamos culpados do mesmo. Em vez disso, vamos colocar o nosso dinheiro onde está a nossa boca e financiar integralmente as nossas escolas E respeitar, reter e sustentar os nossos professores, pagando a todos os que trabalham com as nossas crianças um salário digno.

We urge the city of Sunnyvale to facilitate the conversion of the lot at 842 Sunnyvale Saratoga Road in Sunnyvale from residential to commercial in order to enable the building of a swimming pool for community lessons.

We are residents of the city of Sunnyvale and surrounding communities that have been commuting / biking to learn from and train with Olympic swimming coach Sam Anderson. While our kids have been training at a temporary small backyard swimming pool with coach Anderson and his staff, we have been searching for a suitable lot to build a nearby home swimming pool for our children in Sunnyvale. 

We have found an excellent location at 842 Sunnyvale Saratoga Road in Sunnyvale that is ideal or several reasons:

- The site is next to a commercial shopping plaza and grocery store and can serve as a smoother transition into the residential neighborhood on the other side

- The site is conveniently located for families and their schools, including a local high school, making it convenient for older student-athletes to bike to the pool after school

- The site is located on a wide street that facilitates maximum traffic flow

Unfortunately, when we contacted the city of Sunnyvale's Zoning and Planning Department, we were discouraged from trying to change the lot zoning from residential to commercial as it is a lengthy and expensive process. Our young swim students felt devastated; our children dream of having a pool of “their own” near their homes in Sunnyvale in which to continue to further develop their skills. Knowing that building a swimming pool on this lot can serve hundreds of community residents over the years (as opposed to serving a single family or two as a residential lot), we are signing this petition hoping to have our voice heard by the City Council and Mayor and to enlist your support to facilitate changing the lot zoning to commercial in order to help our children be able to learn and train closer to their homes in our great city of Sunnyvale. 

 
Please support our young athletes and community members by supporting our zoning change at 842 Sunnyvale Saratoga Road. 

 

Sincerely,</image:caption><image:title>Calling on Sunnyvale City Council Members for Support  </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2599/support-bill-s2547-for-inclusive-history-education</loc><lastmod>2025-06-03T16:02:49.982Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2599/support-bill-s2547-for-inclusive-history-education"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fsupport-bill-s2547-for-inclusive-history-education?alt=media&amp;token=71c9af67-7a8b-43eb-9f81-fb4536068b45</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;Support&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S2547" target="_blank"&gt;Bill S2547&lt;/a&gt;: Champion Inclusive History Education&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;History belongs to all of us. Bill S2547 is a vital step toward ensuring every student learns a history that reflects the diverse voices and experiences that make up our nation. By supporting this bill, we empower schools to teach comprehensive, accurate, and inclusive lessons that recognize historically marginalized communities and celebrate the full tapestry of our shared story.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now more than ever, our classrooms need education that promotes critical thinking, empathy, and respect for all backgrounds. S2547 will provide students with the knowledge and context they need to understand today’s world and foster a sense of belonging in every learner. Inclusive history education builds bridges across differences, encourages civic engagement, and prepares students to lead in an increasingly interconnected society.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let’s come together to make sure every student’s history matters.

This is a problem because this person wants to be accepted as a little girl, which means that potentially, he will be in spaces reserved for children, even though he is an adult male.&lt;p&gt;Bud Light created a &amp;#34;March Madness&amp;#34; campaign, featuring Mulvaney pretending not to know anything about sports (which he thinks is a female attribute), and frolicking in a bathtub, pretending to be a little girl, while drinking beer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The messages are confounding and confusing and are too far gone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This isn't about the Conservative Right campaigning for a MAGA agenda.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is also not about a Left Wing agenda.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This campaign is purely to demonstrate that adult males pretending to be little girls is potentially dangerous to actual defenseless little girls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dylan Mulvaney has gone too far, as even trans person Caitlyn Jenner rebuffed Mulvaney for being a man &amp;#34;with a penis,&amp;#34; to counteract Mulvaney's assertion that &amp;#34;women have bulges.&amp;#34; Jenner tweeted: &amp;#34;Let's not 'normalize' any of what this person is doing. This is absurdity!&amp;#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trans people have attempted to harass straight Black Men, with a campaign demanding that we accept them as Black Women and that we date them. Trans people, along with fringe gay persons, have also asserted that straight Black Men are the &amp;#34;white people of Black people,&amp;#34; claiming that Black Men share some sort of privilege with white men.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For a group of people who want to carve out their own space and be accepted, they are extremely aggressive against other groups. Attempting to have adult males occupy spaces reserved for minor girls is a step too far.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let's boycott Bud Light for deciding that an adult male pretending to be a little girl is a good thing.

The world doesn’t know even the slightest about who she really was and in fact decades of people have been grossly misinformed.

My script uses authentic sources - her audio tapes and her diary to recall her life ONLY. I want to present HER. Norma Jeane Baker. The entirety of her. A biopic that covers her life EXACTLY how she tells it herself. A biopic that shows her growth, her thoughts, her beliefs, her painful journey with endometriosis and infertility, her happiest moments and her saddest, her wishes, her great level of intelligence, an authentic take on her sexuality and duality, her charitable moments, her heart, her strength, her interests, vulnerabilities, and her accomplishments as a driven woman in the film industry. And yes….this side of her story is still wildly entertaining enough - more so.

We will see her for the first time from a supporting female gaze who understands her and is enthusiastic to give her voice a listen.

I’m willing to give Marilyn Monroe her REDEMPTION film and I need your support. Sign this petition so I can show production companies that this is worth investing in.

Senate Bill 5977, championed by Sen. Nikki Torres, mandates the public release of child near-fatality review reports by the Department of Children, Youth, and Families. This vital legislation passed the Senate unanimously 47-0, proving bipartisan commitment to protecting our most vulnerable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Near-fatality cases are warning signs of systemic failures, yet unlike child fatality reviews, they remain hidden from public scrutiny. Critical incidents have &lt;b&gt;doubled since 2021&lt;/b&gt;, from 28 to 57 in 2025, including 22 deaths and 35 near-deaths.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Folic Acid affects YOU&lt;/b&gt;!   Since the completion of the human genome project in 2001, we can see that Folic Acid impacts our methylation cycle.  There are hundreds of studies showing the detrimental effect of this synthetic additive. Almost 100% of people have one or more of the DNA mutations which prevent breakdown of Folic Acid in the body.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Folic Acid is added to the food supply under the names "&lt;b&gt;fortified&lt;/b&gt;" or "&lt;b&gt;enriched&lt;/b&gt;." This includes many foods such as crackers, cookies, breads, pasta, flours (wheat, rice, and corn), gluten-free products, energy drinks, multivitamins, protein powders, etc. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The most common medications prescribed in the USA are directly related to side effects caused by Folic Acid in the diet. These include medications for high cholesterol, heartburn, sleep, anxiety, depression, allergies, high blood pressure, and ADHD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The burden of multiple medications and the painful side effects they bring may be avoided if folic acid and fortified/enriched ingredients are removed from our food supply. This is not just about improving health and wellbeing, but also about promoting a healthier lifestyle for everyone.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Folic Acid&lt;/b&gt; was added to the food supply starting in 1993 to prevent neural tube defects in pregnancy. In terms of absolute risk, Folic Acid has NOT made a meaningful change in birth defects. A better option would be Folate (the natural version of Vitamin B9), which doesn't cause unwanted side effects like the ones listed above.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Folic acid is now the most common additive in our food supply, even though only tiny percentage of our population is pregnant.  Do we really need Folic Acid in Cheerios, Cheetos and Oreos? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let's take this all the way to Washington D.C. and demand a change. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Learn more at&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.vigeohealth.net/folic" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.vigeohealth.net/folic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This content has been sourced from the provided URL-&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.change.org/p/remove-folic-acid-enriched-fortified-ingredients-from-our-food-supply" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.change.org/p/remove-folic-acid-enriched-fortified-ingredients-from-our-food-supply&lt;/a&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Remove Folic Acid/Enriched/Fortified Ingredients from Food Supply</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1566/fire-matthias-lowe-stochastic-processes-and-their-applications</loc><lastmod>2023-10-19T20:28:47.558Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1566/fire-matthias-lowe-stochastic-processes-and-their-applications"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2FFire%20Matthias%20L%C3%B6we%3A%20%E2%80%9CStochastic%20Processes%20and%20their%20Applications%E2%80%9D?alt=media&amp;token=439558ce-af8c-47b7-94cc-dd78aa284797</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Plagiarism is a poison that ripples across the scientific body of knowledge, igniting injustice in societies.&amp;#160; &amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;A thief&amp;#160; &amp;#160;Fabrice Baudoin stole other people's result and published in the journal&amp;#160;&lt;em&gt;&amp;#34;Stochastic Processes and their Applications&amp;#34;&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;#160; &amp;#160; For details, see&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://chng.it/wRfgcz5q" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="corgi-pocswm"&gt;https://chng.it/wRfgcz5q&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;As the Editor-in-Chief&amp;#160; in&amp;#160; the journal&amp;#160; &amp;#34;&lt;i&gt;Stochastic Processes and their Applications&lt;/i&gt;&amp;#34;,&amp;#160; Matthias L&amp;#246;we colludes with the thief and creates the sea of thieves.&amp;#160; Matthias L&amp;#246;we&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;is&amp;#160; unethical for three reasons:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Firstly, this journal violates copy right law&lt;/span&gt;.

Senate Bill S2547, currently under consideration by the New York State Legislature, seeks to establish a culturally responsive education for all students from elementary through high school. This pioneering initiative would integrate curricula that recognize and honor every student’s cultural, linguistic, and racial experiences—ensuring all students feel seen, valued, and connected to their learning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recent educational events, including the New York State History Conference earlier in June, have underscored the transformative power of history and culture in the classroom. By supporting S2547, we amplify these conversations and bring them into every school across the state. The bill requires all school districts, charter, and private schools to implement culturally responsive standards, supported by a pilot program and a substantial investment in resources.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join a movement that believes history matters—not just as a record of the past, but as a foundation for a more inclusive, equitable, and inspiring future. Together, we can make sure every student benefits from an education that celebrates who they are and prepares them to succeed in a diverse world.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Our History Matters - Support S2547</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1757/protect-oregons-animal-rescues-from-devastating-legislation</loc><lastmod>2024-05-21T21:20:45.346Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1757/protect-oregons-animal-rescues-from-devastating-legislation"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2FProtect%20Oregons%20Animals%20%26%20Animal%20Rescues%20Now?alt=media&amp;token=3344113d-75c5-45dd-a60c-2c07d894f0c8</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;UPDATE 2/28: The Oregon Department of Agriculture is feeling the pressure!

In the past 2 months, DeSantis has removed all books from school libraries and classroom media centers until 52 “media specialists” can review every book to make sure it doesn’t mention discrimination or racism, among other things. 

Books about Roberto Clemente, Celia Cruz and Harriet Tubman have been removed from schools because they mention discrimination on an age appropriate level. 

He removed board members from a openly accepting college in Florida and replaced them with extremely conservative Christian people and is planning to replace staff members. 

DeSantis has proposed having a special squad of people that will go into schools check students backpacks and lockers for banned books and remove them from the child’s possession.

These are just a few examples of the things he has done over the past couple of months. If he’s not stopped, the people in Florida will suffer, especially the children. Other states run by ultra conservative republicans will also be influenced by his success. We must hit him where it hurts. 

We have a choice on where to spend our dollars. Boycott Florida.

Let’s make DeSantis understand that other voices outside of his own matter. Boycott Florida because kids deserve to learn and teachers deserve to be able to teach without fear of jail time for violating a vague law about books.

In the past 2 months, DeSantis has removed all books from school libraries and classroom media centers until 52 “media specialists” can review every book to make sure it doesn’t mention discrimination or racism, among other things. 

Books about Roberto Clemente, Celia Cruz and Harriet Tubman have been removed from schools because they mention discrimination on an age appropriate level. 

He removed board members from a openly accepting college in Florida and replaced them with extremely conservative Christian people and is planning to replace staff members. 

DeSantis has proposed having a special squad of people that will go into schools check students backpacks and lockers for banned books and remove them from the child’s possession.

These are just a few examples of the things he has done over the past couple of months. If he’s not stopped, the people in Florida will suffer, especially the children. Other states run by ultra conservative republicans will also be influenced by his success. We must hit him where it hurts. 

We have a choice on where to spend our dollars. Boycott Florida.

Atlanta’s Public Safety Training Center “Cop City” is a proposed $90 million+, state-of-the-art police training compound backed by the Atlanta Police Foundation and its corporate sponsors Amazon, Delta, Wells Fargo, Chick-fil-A and Home Depot, to name just a few. In response to the anti-police brutality protests in 2020 these companies released statement after statement condemning police violence and racism. We are calling them out for now being the most significant backers of Cop City and pressuring them to stop funding the project.

What is Cop City?

- A military-style training compound
- Mock city for police to practice urban warfare, crowd control, raids on apartments, etc.
- Black Hawk landing pad
- Large-capacity shooting ranges for machine guns and heavy weaponry
Bomb testing site

This campaign is targeting the most influential decision-makers moving forward with the destruction of the Weelaunee Forest and development of the Atlanta’s Public Safety Training Center project. 

In this campaign we are targeting: 

1. Corporate Funders of cop city: 
- Corporate Funders Investment Relations + Public Relations
- Atlanta Police Foundation members 
- Atlanta Committee for Progress members
2. Zoning Board of Appeals 
3. Dekalb CEO Michael Thurmond
4. Atlanta City Council
5. Dekalb County Office of Planning and Sustainability + Dekalb County's Permit Division
6. Mayor Andre Dickens 

Everyone listed above is complicit in some way with the destruction of the forest, the militarization of the police, and the development of a racist and violent project. These decision-makers and supporters have economic incentives to move forward with this project. 

We have created disincentives specific to influential decision-makers and supporters of Cop City production in pre-written email scripts and tweets to pressure those responsible to stop the destruction of the Weelaunee Forest and the development of Cop City!

Its open fields, trees, and natural beauty have provided a sanctuary for relaxation, play, and community gatherings for generations. Now, a sweeping proposal threatens to transform this beloved park into a suburban-style sports complex, prioritizing artificial turf and structured athletic facilities over the park’s natural character and diverse uses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The planned renovation would replace much of the park’s grass with artificial turf, expand parking, and focus heavily on baseball and softball fields, batting cages, and new lighting. While sports are important, this transformation risks diminishing the park’s ecological value, reducing opportunities for passive recreation, and disrupting the balance that makes Crocker Amazon a unique and inclusive space for all. Concerns have been raised about environmental impacts, including runoff affecting nearby gardens, and the loss of trees and natural habitats.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many community members, environmental advocates, and families have voiced their support for preserving the park’s natural landscape and ensuring it remains a place for everyone—not just athletes. They believe that improvements should enhance the park’s existing strengths, protect its green spaces, and maintain its role as a community hub for all ages and interests.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s time to stand together to protect Crocker Amazon Park. Let’s ensure that future generations can enjoy its open fields, trees, and natural beauty.

There are several cases happening across the United States (and the world) in which a mental health provider has been hired as a reunification therapist and made recommendations that support parental alienation and reunification camps.&amp;#160;&lt;br&gt;We are calling on these national organizations to formally acknowledge that parental alienation and reunification camps further harm children and their protective parents, and to denounce the use of these tools from any of their licensed professionals.&amp;#160;</image:caption><image:title>Parental Alienation is Pseudo-Science</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/537/a-day-without-nurses-no-more-federal-taxes-for-nurses</loc><lastmod>2021-01-29T08:37:57.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/537/a-day-without-nurses-no-more-federal-taxes-for-nurses"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Since the beginning of the coronavirus, the group of workers that have been impacted the most have been nurses.

The least we deserve Is to be exempt from federal taxes, especially those that have been forced to work over 40 hours.</image:caption><image:title>A day without nurses : no more federal taxes for nurses.</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2912/oppose-house-bill-4413</loc><lastmod>2026-02-04T01:28:42.631Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2912/oppose-house-bill-4413"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Foppose-house-bill-4413?alt=media&amp;token=81c43173-15b4-4e1b-8135-c4043c5d2bdd</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Opposition to Bill Making Syringe Services Programs Unlawful in West Virginia&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill would significantly harm public health, increase preventable disease and overdose deaths, and undermine evidence-based responses to West Virginia’s substance use crisis. By making syringe services programs (SSPs) unlawful, the legislation reverses proven interventions without offering an effective alternative.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Syringe Services Programs Save Lives and Prevent Disease&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SSPs are one of the most well-studied public health interventions in the United States. They reduce the transmission of HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C by providing sterile injection equipment and safe disposal of used syringes. Eliminating SSPs will predictably increase outbreaks of blood-borne disease—a risk West Virginia has already experienced.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The costs of treating HIV or hepatitis C vastly exceed the modest costs of operating SSPs. This bill shifts costs from prevention to long-term medical treatment, burdening taxpayers and the health care system.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;The Bill Undermines Harm Reduction While Claiming to Preserve It&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although the bill allows “harm reduction services” to continue, it explicitly prohibits the core intervention that makes harm reduction effective for people who inject drugs: access to sterile syringes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Removing syringe access while permitting referrals, education, and screenings misunderstands how harm reduction works in practice. SSPs are often the only point of contact between high-risk individuals and the health care system. Without syringe access, many participants will not engage at all—making referrals and education far less effective.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;Increased Risk of Overdose and Death&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SSPs are a major pathway for:&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Naloxone distribution&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Overdose prevention education&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Early engagement in treatment&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When SSPs close, overdose deaths rise—not because drug use increases, but because people are pushed into more dangerous, isolated use. This bill removes trusted access points at a time when West Virginia continues to face one of the highest overdose mortality rates in the nation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Criminalization Will Worsen, Not Solve, Community Concerns&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill replaces regulation with prohibition and punishment, including daily civil penalties and injunctive relief. This approach:&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Pushes syringe distribution underground&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Discourages safe disposal&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Increases public needle litter&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Reduces transparency and oversight&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Regulated SSPs allow the state to set rules, require reporting, and address community concerns. Making programs unlawful removes those controls entirely.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. The Transition Period Is Inadequate and Illogical&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill allows a 120-day “transition of care” period while explicitly banning syringe services during that time. This creates a contradictory and ineffective transition:&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Patients are told to transition away from services they can no longer receive&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Providers are prevented from using their primary engagement tool&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Continuity of care is disrupted rather than supported&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This will result in abrupt disengagement, not thoughtful transition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. This Bill Ignores Evidence and Expert Consensus&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Medical, public health, and addiction treatment organizations consistently support SSPs as a critical component of comprehensive substance use response. Repealing an entire regulatory framework and declaring SSPs unlawful disregards decades of evidence in favor of ideology.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Public policy should be guided by outcomes, not optics.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Oppose House Bill 4413</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2293/stronger-schools-for-our-artesia-community</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T19:40:24.030Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2293/stronger-schools-for-our-artesia-community"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Superintendent Jaramillo,&lt;p&gt;I’m deeply invested in our local education system’s success - it’s the foundation that ensures our youth and community thrive.

These conversations are cause for alarm because it would mean the loss of between 4 and 6 of the city's beloved public clay tennis courts.

It is time for answers. 

Tulane's Athletics Director has stated in writing that Tulane "anticipates breaking ground on a national-caliber tennis stadium and tennis operations complex in the next few months" but when asked for details, has demurred. 

It's time that Tulane reveal exactly where that stadium and complex is going to be built. And if it's at Audubon Park, it's time to reveal how many clay courts will be ripped out.

Not only does this create an incredibly toxic ecosystem of haves &amp; have-nots within the Overwatch community, Having restricted access to certain heroes also destroys the core mechanic of Overwatch's gameplay.  You can't effectively play "Rock, Paper, Scissors" if it costs $15 to unlock the rock.

As a community, we are pledging to not spend one single dollar in support of Overwatch 2 until the decision to lock heroes behind a Battle Pass is completely reversed, and heroes are made available, at launch, to every player across every platform.

There's so many projects saved on my google account that I've worked on in my own five years there that I still pull up to show and educate with others. As a recent high school math teacher, I raved about Kean University to my students and helped others apply during their senior year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Losing these accounts for someone may only lose the nostalgia of it, but for others, it is absolutely crucial to their daily work. They use these accounts consistently and deleting them will cause a strain to not only their professional life held on there, but years of data that still hold great value.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kean University claims the reason for switching from Google to Microsoft 365 is to protect us from spam and other cybersecurity&amp;nbsp;risks, which many alumni believe is not the real reason.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kean University also informed us with only 35 days in a holiday&amp;nbsp;hectic season to switch over all the necessary files before permanently&amp;nbsp;deleting our google accounts that they promised would never go away.

She has yet to contribute anything to hip hop culture that we didn’t see from her influencer “Lil’Kim”. With stern disbelief I came across a promo stating that nicKIMinaj would be receiving it and instantly “How many licks” begin to play in my head over &amp; over. &amp; with Kim the influence didn’t start nor stop there. We can go back before that and lost videos like “Ladies Night” or the iconic “Crush on you” which gave a colorful Billie Jean theatric feature that kept you intrigued as the colors of the floor, her hair, and clothing aligned while switching rapidly. Let’s start with the fact she doesn’t have many CGI operated visuals either. Most if not all of Lil’Kims visuals were shot in prestigious places. Hell “No time” was shot in the original Trade Center 5 years prior to 9/11. 

Kim’s impact goes beyond rap. She’s influenced some of the greatest entertainers and musicians of the now. If they came through the tail end of the 90’s  and endured the 2000’s with comprehension! It was inspired/influenced by Kimberly Denise Jones! 


It’s pretty ridiculous that certain rap artists have influenced you to look at Kim funny when she’s birthed &amp; embraced their entire way of being able rap, dress and present lyricism. Though some hardcore rappers still fight today, Kim made it 2000x times easier for Cardi B &amp; Megan to freely drop “WAP” before caring about the modest scrutiny. Kim was banned from countries back then it was that strict and the times were that different. 
That’s just a bit of rap history! 


There were sooooo many other artists deserving of this award in particular… I’ve seen Lady Gaga go visually and aesthetically FULL FORCE &amp; be IGNORED? In the field of pop the same way, Diana Ross or Chris Brown could feel when they’ve done next level visuals that have not only been recreated, but have transcended into generations of children &amp; on lookers that have strong messages, meanings &amp; visual artistic approaches. The cgi or set ups were always next level!

These extra taxes on goods mean higher prices at the checkout, making everyday essentials more expensive for working families. Small businesses also suffer, facing increased costs on products and materials, which limits growth and job creation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Instead of helping American industries, tariffs create economic strain. They disrupt supply chains, reduce competitiveness, and place unnecessary burdens on households. Removing these tariffs will lead to lower prices, helping families afford necessities while allowing businesses to thrive.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We urge &lt;b&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/b&gt; to take action and remove tariffs on China. Ending these trade barriers will provide relief to consumers, strengthen our economy, and support American businesses.

Mostly this is because the playlot is often occupied by large numbers of adults, who are not accompanying children, and are simply loitering. This happens at all hours of the day, even late at night and early in the morning. There are also cars that park around the playlot on streets next to occupied houses, playing loud music, people standing around making lots of noise, fighting, drug selling, drug usage. This is what a parent with a child who wants to play at the playlot would have to push past. It is especially disappointing because of the large number of children in the neighborhood who I am sure would love to visit the playlot. The St. Petersburg Police department will tell you there are no shortage of incidents at this kids playlot, and the issues are not caused by children, but adults. The city seems to be slow to handle issues in this neighborhood, taking inordinate amounts of time to respond to the issues of citizens who live, work, and pay taxes there. Code violations and city responsibilities are ignored even when repeatedly called in.  Development and the building of affordable housing is hampered by unfair and irregular code enforcement, causing previously affordable homes to take on tens of thousands in additional costs. These costs move these houses out of their previously affordable bracket. In other neighborhoods the activity at the child's playlot would not be allowed, and even so much as the appearance of nefarious goings on would be closely monitored and regulated.  The city of St. Petersburg has turned its back on this neighborhood and seems to have some sort of commitment to keeping it underdeveloped and underserved. Neighborhoods have good people, but when you have hubs of nefarious activity, bad vibes emanate from those hubs and cast a shadow over the whole community. It is not fair for the citizens who work and pay taxes in this community to not have these hubs uprooted the same as they would be in any number of more affluent areas. Despite knowing this is and has been a problem area for a long time, the St. Petersburg police have only to committed to a general response of "stepping up patrols". I believe this is a specific situation that requires a specific solution. I propose a renovation of Silver Lake Playlot. The renovation would include making the playlot a much safer, much more secure, and much more enjoyable site for the children in the neighborhood. My plan includes dedicated parking, modern equipment for playing, and an accompanying city ordinance similar to the ordinance recently enacted by Palm Beach County. The ordinance states that adults without children won't be allowed to loiter in or around places designated as child playlots. I believe this would be a good first step in setting the standards of what is expected and allowed in our neighborhood. There is a common belief that some people don't care about their communities. This belief is false, we do care, so we are requesting that the city reciprocate that care by handling it's responsibilities to the neighborhood. Our children deserve a safe, secure, modernized and updated play area just like the ones that exist in so many other neighborhoods in the city.

After many failed attempts by Ms. Traore to get justice for her son who was wrongfully assaulted and then recorded by multiple teenage boys in the Howard County area she was wrongfully arrested due to taking matters into her own hands. Yes she may have acted maliciously as it pertains to the matter but no attempts or arrests were made by the Howard County Police Department despite her following the law &amp;amp; seeking justice for her son. Whether it is Howard County Police Department in Maryland or countless other law enforcement agencies around the United States, we as law abiding citizens are fed up &amp;amp; sick of not being able to not only be protected by the officers that we pay for in the form of taxes, sit by idlely doing nothing while countless number of our communities kids, family members &amp;amp; friends get assaulted, shot, &amp;amp; humiliated time &amp;amp; time again with little to no help or support from law enforcement.

&lt;p&gt;In our increasingly connected world, digital platforms have become a powerful force for good, bridging divides and fostering innovation. Yet, they also have a darker side, as some have allowed hate groups to find a foothold, spreading divisive and harmful ideologies. &lt;b&gt;Such spaces not only incite violence and discrimination but also erode our social fabric and compromise our collective safety.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Big tech companies, specifically social media giants, hold the keys to massive digital communities. &lt;b&gt;It is crucial for these organizations to take responsibility and actively shut down platforms that allow hate to thrive.&lt;/b&gt; Mark Zuckerberg, as the Facebook CEO, bears the significant responsibility to lead by example and enforce a strict ban on all hate groups and hate speech. This step could prove decisive in affecting change across the tech sphere.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;underline&gt;We urge tech leaders to prioritize humanity over profits, recognizing the harm of giving hate a platform.&lt;/underline&gt; We call upon individuals from all walks of life to stand in solidarity, demand action, and help create a safe online space for everyone. Join this crucial movement to advocate for responsible digital citizenship and ensure that online communities reflect the values of tolerance, inclusion, and peace.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Take a stand today. Together, we can inspire change and protect the integrity of our digital world for future generations.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>STOP tech companies from allowing pages or forums for hate groups</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/968/28th-amendment</loc><lastmod>2022-07-14T13:19:34.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/968/28th-amendment"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/null</image:loc><image:caption>1) Any representative of the people whether at the City, County, State or Federal level or any branch be it Executive, Judicial or Congressional who advocates for, creates, sponsors, supports, votes or yields-for any resolution, bill, order or issue that violates or limits the unalienable, god given rights of the citizens enumerated in the Constitution of the United States of America shall be immediately barred and removed from office. 
2) Furthermore, all said violators will be placed directly into Federal custody and held with out bond/bail until trial for dereliction of duty and treason against the citizens and office they swore to serve.
3) This Amendment also applies to redundant or separating issues to existing law(s), or constantly re-presenting any resolution, bill or order or any part of any resolution, bill or order from the past that has been denied or overruled by Congress or the Judicial branch. Executive veto shall return to Congress as per the law allows. 
4) Any challenges by Congress pertaining to this Amendment shall be verbatim with/to the Constitution of the United States of America and must be decided by a 2/3 vote in the same accordance of the law to remove a senator from office. 
5) A new citizen office of 12 qualified Constitutional Scholars shall be randomly appointed, from random selected states to ascertain if trial proceedings are necessary. This citizen office will be conducted in the same fashion as Jury Duty but with higher expertise in the Constitution and an appropriate monitory compensation according to the selected 12’s current income, the selected 12 will not take part in any trial proceedings pertaining to its verdict.
6) An ordinary citizen petition of at least 5000 signatures may be presented to Congress on any bill or law.

Wade, dividing the nation between jurisdictions where the procedure is legal and where it is outlawed.

The high court’s decision ended a half-century of constitutionally protected abortion rights, which means that states will now be allowed to regulate the procedure.

At least 13 states have laws on the books that either ban abortion immediately or will do so soon.

Abortion bans in Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah and Alabama went into immediate effect. The laws make performing an abortion a felony punishable by years-long prison sentences. They do not make exceptions for rape or incest. However, women cannot be prosecuted for receiving an abortion under the laws.</image:caption><image:title>Stop Roe v wade</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2361/mejores-escuelas-en-tatum-para-mi-hijoa</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T23:23:19.066Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2361/mejores-escuelas-en-tatum-para-mi-hijoa"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Estimados miembros de la Junta Escolar de Tatum,&lt;p&gt;Como padre y miembro de la comunidad, quiero asegurarme de que todos los estudiantes tengan acceso a una educación de alta calidad que los prepare para el futuro con las habilidades que necesitan para obtener excelentes empleos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yo apoyo:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Garantizar que nuestras escuelas implementen programas de lectura estructurados para mejorar la lectura&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Ampliar el acceso a la educación profesional y técnica para que los estudiantes se gradúen preparados para trabajos de alta demanda&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Atraer y retener educadores de alta calidad, fortaleciendo la capacitación y el apoyo&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Invertir en programas de educación infantil&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;El futuro de nuestros niños depende de buenas escuelas.

However there are 70 large corporate donors who previously donated to the 147 Congressional Members who voted against certifying Joe Biden's election victory that have yet to commit to halting all future donations to these members. 

We need to send their corporate executives a clear demand: never again fund these anti-democratic politicians. These Congressional members who refused to certify the valid election results -- despite no proof of fraud, despite state and federal courts rejecting 60+ baseless lawsuits, despite Donald Trump’s own Department of Justice affirming the election’s validity -- attempted to disenfranchise millions of voters. They tried to overturn an American election. They lied repeatedly to their constituents and created the conditions for the Jan 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.

By offering longer class periods, students gain the opportunity to delve deeper into subjects, engage in meaningful discussions, and collaborate on projects without the constant rush of a traditional schedule. This structure not only enhances learning but also fosters a more thoughtful and productive educational environment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Beyond academics, the block schedule provides students with more time to reflect, recharge, and stay organized. It reduces the overwhelming pressure of juggling multiple classes and assignments every single day, leading to improved mental health and reduced burnout. Teachers, too, benefit from the additional time to plan creative lessons and connect with their students on a deeper level, creating a stronger and more supportive school community.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Changing this schedule would jeopardize these benefits.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; It will lead to shorter class periods, and thus potentially increase stress, and diminish opportunities for meaningful learning. AHHS has thrived under this system, and it is vital to protect it for the sake of current and future students.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us in advocating for the preservation of the block schedule at AHHS. Together, we can ensure that our students continue to experience an educational environment that prioritizes quality, balance, and success.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Keeping the Block Schedule at AHHS</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2737/no-more-waiting-justice-for-armani</loc><lastmod>2026-03-17T20:33:05.995Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2737/no-more-waiting-justice-for-armani"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fensure-action-in-the-cold-case-of-armani-morgan?alt=media&amp;token=68ccccbe-6eba-447e-893e-5cc3b0f25e41</image:loc><image:caption>Armani Dante Morgan was 27 years old when he vanished in Dallas, Texas on June 3, 2017, after enduring multiple physical assaults by known individuals in the weeks leading up to his disappearance.

The rights that not only secured the liberty to abortion, but the liberty of privacy. 

This ruling will carry an irrefutable weight that will leave the country with the reassurance that the U.S. is no longer a symbol of democracy, but of fascism in which the consent of the minority governs the majority. 

Twelve states have total abortion bans. Five states have varying time-based restrictions. Some states still express the motive to restrict the right to choose, such as Virginia's Governor lobbying the General Assembly into banning abortion.

Children are expected to not only not get sexually assaulted but to live and raise the child of their rapist. A sad example is the story of the ten-year-old who was sexually assaulted and had no choice but to cross state lines to get an abortion.

Abortion is now some game of chess to republican lawmakers who use 'morality' and 'maturity' to incorporate the lives of many into political pawns, whose stories are merely presented as irresponsible childish behavior. 

We are petitioning the Governor of Virginia to end his self-demeaning lobbying pursuits to ban abortion in Virginia and to not sign any bill into law that will in any way further restrict abortions in Virginia. </image:caption><image:title>Virginia Does Not Want Abortion Bans</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1516/nj-medical-cannabis-patients-need-a-hearing-for-bills-a997-s342</loc><lastmod>2023-01-04T03:37:46.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://img.youtube.com/vi/JsD5fyiTj-g/hqdefault.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NJ medical cannabis patients need a hearing for bills A997/S342!</video:title><video:description>New Jersey medicinal cannabis patients need home cultivation for affordability, accessibility, and therapy. Despite adult-use sales opening medical cannabis prices have gone up, keeping it still out of reach for many in need.

Patients need home growing not just for affordability, but for availability of needed cultivars of cannabis that the alternative treatment centers (ATCs) don't have, access to FECO (full extract cannabis oil) which ATCs don't have, and access to whole plant, raw cannabinoids and plant therapy that ATCs cannot provided.

New Jersey is the only state that has legalized cannabis that does not permit patients to grow their own plants and not only does New Jersey not allow it, but still considers it an indictable offense with a five year prison sentence along with other serious consequences like loss of parental rights, employment, benefits, and housing.

The punishment does not fit the proposed crime and this is not how patients should be treated.

Patients have been asking for an informational hearing on this for over two years and despite legalizing cannabis after New Jersey, medical cannabis patients in New York were allowed to start growing their own medicine as of October 5, 2022 and it is no longer a felony for adults.

Polls show New Jersey voters support ending this prohibition, yet legislative leadership has not approved these bills for a hearing.

A997/S342 permits medicinal cannabis home cultivation and A3657/S353 permits patients and adults to grow a personal number of plants at home.

Please support these bills by contacting legislators and asking them and Senate President Scutari to have a hearing where patients can be heard on this important matter.

Despite repeated calls from lawmakers—across both parties—for the release of all federal documents related to Epstein, the Department of Justice and current administration continue to obstruct meaningful disclosure. Public concern is mounting after officials stated that no further documents will be released, contradicting earlier promises of openness and leaving many to question who is being protected and why.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In recent weeks, House Oversight Committee efforts to obtain files have led to limited, incomplete releases, with continued questions about redactions. High-profile subpoenas have been issued, but the process is mired in legal and political delays. Meanwhile, advocates for justice and survivors demand to know the full truth about the scope of Epstein’s network and those who enabled his crimes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Epstein Files represent more than just a list of names—they are a test of our institutions’ commitment to accountability and the rule of law. Every day these documents remain hidden, public trust erodes and survivors are denied the closure they deserve. This is not a partisan issue; it is a matter of basic justice. The time for secrecy is over. We call on all who believe in transparency and accountability to join us in demanding that every relevant document—with appropriate protections for victims—be released immediately. Only then can we begin to restore faith in justice and ensure that such abuses never happen again.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Release the Epstein files!</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2265/mejores-escuelas-en-midland-isd-para-la-comunidad</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T18:19:58.651Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2265/mejores-escuelas-en-midland-isd-para-la-comunidad"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Estimada Junta Escolar de Midland ISD,&lt;p&gt;Estoy interesado/a en el éxito de nuestro sistema educativo local porque es la base que garantiza que nuestra juventud y comunidad prosperen.

Enforcing criminal penalties against unhoused individuals will push them further into poverty, making it even more difficult for them to access the resources they need to rebuild their lives.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Instead of harmful legislation, our leaders should focus on real solutions, such as:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Investing in affordable housing and supportive services&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Expanding access to mental health and addiction treatment&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Providing job training and employment opportunities&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Ensuring community-based outreach programs receive adequate funding&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We cannot allow House Bill 2382 to pass and further marginalize those in need. Together, we can demand compassionate policies that address homelessness with dignity and care. Join us in opposing this harmful bill and advocating for real solutions that protect and uplift our unhoused neighbors.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Oppose House Bill 2382 - Protect the Unhoused</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2148/stop-the-greed-and-danger</loc><lastmod>2025-02-11T01:09:59.113Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2148/stop-the-greed-and-danger"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Apple has now gone to the dark side with Trump's "tech bros."&amp;nbsp; And they are selling Deep Seek through their online store.&amp;nbsp; This app is dangerous for United States security and should be banned.&amp;nbsp; Because there is no chance this Congress will do the right thing and protect the American people, it is up to us.&amp;nbsp; Let Apple know our nation and its' security is not for sale.&amp;nbsp; So I am asking, delete this app, don't buy any Apple product, and relay this information to others and encourage them to do the same.&amp;nbsp; Let this corporation know, our nation's security is not for sale and we will take action to stop this lunacy.&amp;nbsp; Thanks</image:caption><image:title>Stop the Greed and Danger</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1747/wab-kinew-why-are-you-not-speaking-up-about-the-marlborough-hotel</loc><lastmod>2024-01-26T01:12:01.002Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1747/wab-kinew-why-are-you-not-speaking-up-about-the-marlborough-hotel"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2FWab%20Kinew%20Why%20are%20you%20not%20speaking%20up%20about%20the%20marlborough%20hotel?alt=media&amp;token=59e944b9-a5d8-4cb0-aedf-b17d96cfa105</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;Dear Wab Kinew,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;I am writing to you as a concerned citizen and supporter of the advocacy campaign &amp;#34;Wab Kinew: Why are you not speaking up about the Marlborough Hotel?&amp;#34; The silence on the pressing issue surrounding the Marlborough Hotel in your district is disconcerting, especially given your commitment to leadership and creating a safe environment for your Indigenous constituents and all Manitobans.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The recent activities and social media posts have shed light on the pressing and disturbing issues at the Marlborough Hotel.

To: Instagram Support Team, Meta Platforms, Inc.&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Subject: Petition Against the Unjust Deletion of Accounts Without Proper Review.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Instagram Support,

I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction and concern over the disabling and deletion of my Instagram account without proper checks and balances. I have been a loyal user of Instagram for years, during which time I have adhered to all community guidelines and terms of service. However, without warning or a clear explanation, my account was suddenly deleted, causing me significant distress and inconvenience.

I want to highlight the following critical points:

1. **Long-standing, Violation-Free Account**: My account has been active for several years and has never violated any of Instagram's policies or terms of service. I have consistently followed community guidelines, posted content that aligns with Instagram’s rules, and engaged respectfully with the platform’s community. To have my account disabled without notice or a clear justification is both shocking and unjust.

2. **Business-Related Content**: My Instagram account is also linked to multiple business accounts, and it serves as a critical platform for my professional activities. The deletion of my account has left me unable to access vital business-related information, such as customer contacts, marketing content, and transaction history. This loss has disrupted not only my personal social media presence but also my livelihood and business operations.

3. **Lack of Transparency and Support**: Instagram’s process for disabling and deleting accounts appears to lack transparency and sufficient checks before taking such drastic action. It is highly concerning that accounts are being deleted without adequate investigation or recourse for users who have not violated any policies. The lack of effective customer support and clear communication leaves users like myself helpless, with no clear path to resolve the situation.

4. **Irreversible Damage**: The sudden deletion of my account has resulted in the loss of years of carefully curated content, as well as access to important business-related assets. The emotional and financial toll this has taken is immeasurable, especially since I have no clear explanation or resolution from Instagram on how or why this action was taken.

In light of these points, I demand the following actions:

- A thorough review of my account’s status and a clear explanation of why it was deleted without warning or due process.
- The restoration of my account, with all content and business-related information fully reinstated.
- Immediate improvements in Instagram’s account management processes to ensure that users are not subjected to such unfair treatment in the future.
- A more transparent and accessible support system that allows users to effectively communicate and resolve issues regarding account suspensions or deletions.

I respectfully request that Instagram take immediate action to restore my account and prevent similar incidents from happening to others. The failure to provide a satisfactory resolution will leave me with no choice but to consider further actions, including reporting the issue to relevant authorities and legal entities.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to a prompt and fair resolution.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sincerely,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daniel Igwe @danny_digit&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Linked - @Prcommand, @CommandVA_PR, @MynestAfrican&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Petition Against the Disabling and Deletion of Instagram Accounts</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1816/urgent-call-to-address-judge-hackenbergs-judicial-misconduct</loc><lastmod>2024-05-10T00:31:54.579Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1816/urgent-call-to-address-judge-hackenbergs-judicial-misconduct"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2FUrgent%20Call%20to%20Address%20Judge%20Hackenbergs%20Judicial%20Misconduct?alt=media&amp;token=f272f767-66bf-4120-a612-f06c7bf4e3cc</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Courthouse Employees,&amp;#160;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I write to you with profound concern regarding the tragic case of Adam Jonathan Gitter, a 6-year-old boy whose untimely death under his father's supposed care has sparked grave doubts about the conduct of Judge Hackenberg.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;The circumstances surrounding Adam's case, notably the abrupt change of custody from his mother, who had primary physical custody, to his father, along with Adam&amp;#8217;s relocation to Florida under his father's custody, the denial of Adam&amp;#8217;s mom&amp;#8217;s 14th amendment right to raise her child, and consistent denial of her due process rights by Judge Hackenberg, have led to a devastating outcome. These events demand immediate and thorough scrutiny of Judge Hackenberg's professional judgment and ethics.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Given the gravity of the situation and the potential ramifications for other families, I urge you to speak up about Judge Hackenberg&amp;#8217;s misconduct in this and other cases and file complaints with the Pennsylvania Judicial Conduct Board regarding her professional misconduct. Too many residents of Union and Snyder counties have borne witness and suffered from the distressing pattern of Judge Hackenberg&amp;#8217;s judicial misconduct. Judge Hackenberg has consistently violated people&amp;#8217;s constitutional rights, exhibited inappropriate judicial demeanor, and displayed unmistakable bias and prejudice, all while demonstrating her incompetence.  The time for silence is over&amp;#8212;now is the time for action.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How many more children need to die before Judge Hackenberg is held accountable and the safety of our children is ensured?&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;As a concerned parent, I implore you to speak up about Judge Hackenberg&amp;#8217;s misconduct and incompetence to prevent similar tragedies from occurring. &amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Urgent Call to Address Judge Hackenberg's Judicial Misconduct</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2141/keep-mrs-surina-in-the-highschool-building</loc><lastmod>2025-01-31T22:44:46.716Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2141/keep-mrs-surina-in-the-highschool-building"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Mrs. Surina is being moved out of her office into the gym 😭😭 and Ms Fitzgerald is taking her office!

Critically, these practices are associated with increased rates of depression, self-harm, and suicidal ideation among children and adolescents.

These amendments comply with federal law, align with VAWA 2022, and reflect the intent of Congress as signed into law by President Biden. Unlike the June 30 Senate amendments, the Assembly version centers the child’s lived experience and voice and requires that any court-ordered intervention be demonstrably safe, ethical, trauma-informed, and beneficial for children.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do not be misled by industry actors attempting to codify profit-driven practices into law. These policies would not help New Jersey families. They would expose children to psychological coercion, heightened suicide risk, and irreversible harm—under the false banner of “therapy.”

I'm writing you because we have in Los Angeles, California 161, 548 homeless people camp in tents on the streets.
When Los Angeles California was considered the 3 richest city in the world. Californians are not satisfied to see this and live with this situation after they pay taxes that formerly contribute to a better function of society and empowerment of the great American Nation.
For years billions of dollars of this tax money paid by Californians have been spent on programs who not justify the results presented because it only gives temporary solutions offered by governmental funds and uncertain donations. 
This homelessness situation keeps increasing and we believe homelessness programs should be replaced by one formal plan of action that will involve integration and creation of employment preventing homelessness and strict poverty to happen again in the future.
We have right now one program evaluating 1.2 billion as the budget who supposed to be used to build housing to these homeless people but its running slowly and the costs keep increasing because doesn't have a realistic budget applied.
We also like to ask you to take in consideration this concern of ours and find the reason for this.
Every day 5 unhoused homeless people in Los Angeles California die waiting for a sufficient reply to this situation, everyday civil rights are violated - Equal Social Opportunities, Protection Under the law.
Everyday Human Rights are Violated- Right of Life, Health Care- decent human conditions.
In this situation, the law has been disrespected in all degrees and forgot and forgot complete what has been promised in the constitution after has been signed on paper. The areas Homelessness situation takes place is in the priority areas that have been neglected in so need of Education Programs, Social Programs, and Employment.
We don't see this as fair when Los Angeles California should give us the best example of leadership and economic power structure after being considered the 3 richest city in the world.
The Plan of action we would like to present to you involves closing hotels in the exclusive contract for this homelessness purpose temporary.
We would like to put community centers in these priority areas to be mediators between the community and the government representatives collaborating together. Social workers with job recruitment agencies to spot the best opportunities for these people to start working after they have been assisted by the government.
This way the Californians see better management of the taxes money they all deserve by right. seen the sacrifice being shared fairly by everybody equally. 
Mr President let's bring changes, I'm volunteering myself to bring and present this plan to you and work together with the government so we can offer the solution to this problem to all Californians.
I would like to ask you to put attention and be proactive in analyzing this situation with the eyes of human being and the great leadership we all expect from you representing the Nation.

We will wait for your reply 

Thank You

It's not only in regular vehicles but also on motorized bicycles and sometimes three wheelers. This happens at all hours of the day and night. It is very disruptive and disrespectful to those who live here. We have a lot of young children on our street and it would be awful if one of these cars speeding down the road hit one of the children. I urge you to put in Speed Bumps on our street. I'd like to see them every 10 feet.

According to our At Work survey, 56% of companies that have adopted the hybrid work model have an at-will schedule. As majority of company work is performed on a computer or by phone, our meetings are even held via video call. By working at home, I feel that employees will feel more productive and financially free after the turmoil caused by the pandemic. I propose two days at home, three days in office. Not only would this cut overhead cost, but would assist employees in saving on travel expenses. I feel starting January 1, 2023., the proposed schedule would be adequate. A Gensler study shows that 52% of people want to work from the office 2-4 days per week. The remaining 48% want to work full-time in the office (29%) or full-time remote (19%). Employees would still be required to meet in the office on an as-needed basis. This would only apply to an employee working inside the state of NY, so out of state tax issues may be avoided.

Survivors and their families have been met with resistance when seeking justice, while those responsible continue to evade accountability. This must end now.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Children deserve protection, support, and justice.

How many bag ladies and bag men walking around homeless due to this unethical behavior. Some have been separated from their children and left elsewhere due to this behavior. Workers are not working accordingly to their duty list for their wages but instead getting paid to retaliate and due personal in their behalf or behalf of some other briber in addition you have to sit around with bags to overhear it all. Enough of this. They need to fire them and get ethical workers for their wages. As housing workers from my perspective instead of assisting the housing recipient into housing, they force the homeless into prostitution, human, sex and drug trafficking, and family disruption. Again, Enough! I am sick with tumors, arthritis, and prolapse bladder. And yes the waiting list is long. But those who already struggle for it and got and the force is attempting to put you homeless again for their fulfillment. People or on behalf of people who nothing give you and yet work hard and taking away from you from the bit someone else is giving you. They got a lot of mouths and use lots of strategies to abore your life. Yes, in conspiracy the world can do that to anyone in society. Society planet earth with all the unethical human beings. They just have this theory to make the people homeless that you are just crazy or hearing voices. No one can tell you that you hear voices when you carry your ears and you should be the one telling them this. There is a habit of labeling people accordingly to their grudges. Or joke of the infested universe. Or every hater venting bait. In the law, there are two versions and two scenarios the self-defense or the opposite of self-defense. In this world, just stick to whom you prefer and bored who you so much like and suitable for bait. Therefore, I am putting a sample of the scenarios they label tenants to make them homeless and bored. This is not my case, nor is anyone will anyone tells me I hear voices to make me miserable unless you carry my ear. Everyone is better than you. Enrique heard voices he says. But we are not all Enrique into homeless and your pocket and fulfillment. https://www.chcf.org/blog/house-calls-people-experiencing-homelessness/ This other scenario is in South London but likewise here at no fault: https://youtu.be/B1IziIrfCp4 This is also not everyone's reason of why people are homeless: https://www.wbur.org/news/2022/06/02/hotels-motels-homeless-shelters-massachusetts-pandemic-housing

Our campaign seeks to bring attention to the alarming number of missing Black women in the United States and to demand action from law enforcement and local officials to ensure that all missing persons cases are investigated thoroughly and with the same level of urgency.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our goal is to bring Ieshia home and hold those responsible for her disappearance accountable. We are calling on the El Dorado Police Department and the City of El Dorado to take immediate action to address the disappearance of Ieshia Jackson and provide transparency to the community. We demand updates on the progress of the investigation and a thorough investigation of all potential leads and evidence. We also urge the authorities to take steps to address any systemic biases that may be impacting the handling of this case.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;We believe that by coming together as a community, raising awareness, and demanding action, we can make a difference and help bring Ieshia Jackson home. We are asking concerned citizens to join us in this campaign by sharing information on social media, contacting local officials to demand action, and supporting the efforts of Ieshia's family and loved ones. Together, we can make a difference and demand justice for Ieshia Jackson and all missing Black women.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>The Finding Ieshia Jackson Email Campaign</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2655/we-need-inclusive-history-support-s2547</loc><lastmod>2025-07-07T20:24:57.072Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2655/we-need-inclusive-history-support-s2547"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fwe-need-inclusive-history-support-s2547?alt=media&amp;token=40fe656e-ee72-45ab-9130-b1b545348b7e</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Every student deserves to see themselves and their communities reflected in what they learn. Yet, too often, our curricula leave out essential voices and stories that make up the rich tapestry of New York’s history. Senate Bill S2547 is a critical step toward ensuring our education system is inclusive and culturally responsive for all students.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;S2547 proposes a statewide transformation by requiring all public, charter, and private schools to integrate culturally responsive education at every grade level. This means lessons that honor and support students’ cultural, linguistic, and racial identities—and give every child the chance to thrive by learning in an environment that recognizes and celebrates who they are.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Research shows that when students connect with what they learn, they are more engaged, empowered, and successful. Culturally responsive teaching not only improves academic achievement, it also fosters respect, empathy, and unity among students from all backgrounds.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;This bill will dedicate significant resources, including a $25 million pilot program, to ensure schools and educators have the support they need to implement these changes statewide. By passing S2547, New York can lead the way in making inclusive education the standard—preparing students not just for tests, but for a diverse and interconnected world.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Join the movement for inclusive history and urge your lawmakers to support S2547. Let’s ensure every student’s story is valued in the classroom—and build a better, fairer future for all.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>We Need Inclusive History - Support S2547</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/535/demand-robinhood-the-sec-to-let-the-people-trade</loc><lastmod>2021-03-17T15:29:15.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/535/demand-robinhood-the-sec-to-let-the-people-trade"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Robinhood, TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwab, and other brokerage firms have banned the purchasing of popular retail stocks such as GameStop and AMC under the claim that they are "extremely volatile."

While protecting first responders is a shared priority, this bill is unnecessary, overly broad, and constitutionally troubling. It risks criminalizing lawful behavior, chilling free expression, and granting excessive discretionary power to law enforcement—without demonstrating a real gap in existing law.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;1. It Threatens First Amendment Rights&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The bill creates a de facto “buffer zone” around first responders that can be enforced based on subjective intent such as “harassment” or “interference.” These terms are vague and elastic, creating a serious risk that constitutionally protected activities—such as filming police, verbal criticism, or peaceful protest—could be criminalized.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Courts have consistently recognized the right of the public to observe and record law enforcement performing their duties in public. This bill invites enforcement that could chill free speech, press freedom, and the right to assemble, particularly during protests or public emergencies.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;2. Existing Laws Already Address the Problem&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;West Virginia law already criminalizes:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Obstruction of law enforcement&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Disorderly conduct&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Harassment&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Assault and threats&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Interference with emergency services&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;If someone truly impedes, threatens, or harasses a first responder, current statutes already provide tools to address that conduct. This bill does not fill a legal gap—it duplicates and expands criminal liability unnecessarily.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;3. Vagueness Encourages Selective Enforcement&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The bill relies heavily on a first responder’s subjective judgment of intent and emotional distress. This opens the door to unequal and discriminatory enforcement, particularly against:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Protesters&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Journalists&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Legal observers&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Bystanders recording police activity&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Laws that are unclear or overly discretionary erode public trust and increase the likelihood of abuse.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;4. Criminal Penalties Are Disproportionate&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail for merely standing within 25 feet after a verbal warning—even without physical interference—is excessive. This risks turning everyday citizens into criminals for conduct that is nonviolent and often lawful.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;5. Public Safety Depends on Transparency, Not Distance&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Accountability and transparency improve public safety for everyone, including first responders. Pushing the public farther away—especially during controversial or high-stress encounters—undermines confidence rather than building it.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Oppose Senate Bill 4</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2732/defend-youth-digital-rights-postpone-s1586hr3149-to-20271</loc><lastmod>2025-08-06T14:37:06.214Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2732/defend-youth-digital-rights-postpone-s1586hr3149-to-20271"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>My name is [Josiah Hafner], and I’m 16 years old.

From social media management and storytelling to graphic design, climate education, project coordination, digital advocacy, and web development, young people across Africa, Latin America, and Asia are already contributing to sustainability movements at the grassroots. But barriers such as geographic restrictions, biased hiring systems, limited visibility in international networks, and underinvestment in inclusive training pipelines continue to shut them out of the green economy.

As remote work reshapes global employment, these soft green skills are critical to advancing sustainability messaging, campaigns, and climate literacy and are more relevant than ever. Yet many employers in the Global North continue to hire only within national borders or ignore talent from the Global South due to legal, administrative, or systemic hurdles.

This exclusion is not only unjust, it is a missed opportunity. Governments in the Global South often lack the resources to create enough green jobs at scale, so cross border access to virtual opportunities is essential. Young people in these regions bring energy, digital creativity, and lived experience that can enrich global sustainability strategies.

To build a just and inclusive green economy, climate aligned employers and institutions must act now. Remove geographic barriers, hire and mentor Global South youth in virtual roles, and invest in platforms that unlock their talents across soft green sectors. The future is not only green, it must be fair.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Open Global Green Jobs to Global south Youth: Break the Exclusion</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2683/test-call-campaign</loc><lastmod>2025-06-30T18:44:39.314Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2683/test-call-campaign"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Please speak up on behalf of medical research in Oklahoma and everywhere. &lt;p&gt;Here is some additional information to include in your call:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;OMRF brings $165 million to the Oklahoma economy each year&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;OMRF employs more than 475 Oklahomans, with most positions falling in highly skilled and high-paying categories&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;OMRF research has directly resulted in three FDA-approved drugs and two diagnostic tests used across the country, with more in the testing pipeline&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;More than 98% of all FDA-approved drugs have resulted from NIH-funded research&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Consider sharing a personal story about how medical innovation has impacted your life.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br&gt;Key tips:&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;All offices require information to verify your constituency.

By using melanin-inspired synthetic compounds, robots may soon achieve improved durability, enhanced sensory capabilities, and more sustainable performance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;However, we need your attention, as this research accelerates, it is crucial for Africans and their leaders to remain vigilant&lt;/b&gt; to ensure that ethical boundaries are never crossed. There must be a clear stance: &lt;u&gt;no human biological material, especially from Africans, should be used in robotics&lt;/u&gt;.

It is our collective responsibility to demand transparency and equity in this field of science, protecting communities from exploitation and championing innovation that benefits all of humanity without compromising human dignity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Now is the time for African leaders to take action&lt;/b&gt;, leading the call for robust regulations, oversight, and investment in this rapidly evolving area.

Las élites corporativas y financieras, a través del respaldo millonario al Super PAC "Democracia es Prosperidad," han permitido que el PNP retome el control de nuestra isla, pese a la voluntad de cambio de la mayoría de los puertorriqueños. Han apoyado a una administración caracterizada por la corrupción, la falta de transparencia y políticas que solo benefician a unos pocos, mientras el pueblo enfrenta más pobreza, pérdida de derechos laborales y una continua explotación económica.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;¿Qué queremos?&lt;/b&gt; Exigimos justicia y dignidad para los puertorriqueños. Con esta campaña de boicot, los consumidores puertorriqueños enviaremos un mensaje fuerte y claro: no seremos cómplices de nuestra opresión. La resistencia económica será nuestra herramienta de protesta, haciendo sentir el peso de nuestra indignación y poder como consumidores a todas las empresas y figuras que, por avaricia y ambición, han decidido apoyar a un régimen corrupto y opresor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Estas empresas no solo limitan el desarrollo económico inclusivo de Puerto Rico, sino que además consolidan su poder y riqueza bajo condiciones laborales precarias, bajos salarios y beneficios mínimos, promoviendo un ciclo de explotación que agrava la crisis de nuestra clase trabajadora. "Apoyar lo local" pierde sentido cuando ese apoyo sostiene la corrupción y el estancamiento.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nuestro llamado es claro: &lt;/b&gt;ejerzamos un consumo consciente, patriótico y responsable. Rechacemos los productos y servicios de aquellas entidades que prolongan nuestras dificultades y promovamos alternativas que de verdad trabajen por un Puerto Rico más justo y próspero.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;El Boicot Estratégico&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Un boicot estratégico y dirigido por 370,904 votantes puertorriqueños—quienes votaron por Juan Dalmau y la Alianza PIP/MVC—podría tener un impacto económico significativo en las empresas que brindaron apoyo financiero al Super PAC "Democracia es Prosperidad," permitiendo así el regreso al poder del corrupto PNP. Este poderoso acto de resistencia económica envía un mensaje claro a estas empresas: apoyar a un partido político que prioriza los intereses de unos pocos sobre las necesidades del pueblo tendrá verdaderas consecuencias.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Medalla &amp;amp; Malta India:&lt;/b&gt; Si estos votantes deciden suspender sus compras, Medalla y Malta India, bebidas locales populares, podrían enfrentar pérdidas estimadas en $148,361,600 en los próximos cuatro años.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Goya &amp;amp; Kraft Heinz:&lt;/b&gt; Los Productos Goya, una marca importante de alimentos básicos, podría ver un impacto de $74,180,800, y los productos de Kraft Heinz podrían experimentar pérdidas que alcanzarían los $44,508,480.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Burger King:&lt;/b&gt; La cadena de comida rápida Burger King podría sufrir un impacto de aproximadamente $148,361,600.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Banco Popular &amp;amp; First Bank:&lt;/b&gt; En el sector financiero, Banco Popular y First Bank sentirían un golpe económico único de $185,452,000 debido a que los consumidores trasladarían sus cuentas a cooperativas de crédito locales, un cambio impactante que demuestra el poder del consumo consciente.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Caribbean Cinemas&lt;/b&gt;, frecuentado para entretenimiento, experimentaría una reducción en ingresos de $37,090,400.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;En conjunto, este boicot dirigido podría resultar en un impacto económico combinado estimado en &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;$674,954,880&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; durante cuatro años. Esta acción de los consumidores puertorriqueños busca recordar a estas corporaciones que alinearse con políticas corruptas en Puerto Rico no pasará desapercibido y será enfrentado con una resistencia unificada, redirigiendo el apoyo hacia negocios comprometidos con el bienestar, la integridad y el futuro del país.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Si vamos a luchar cuatro años más contra un gobierno corrupto e inepto, haremos que aquellos que lo sostienen también sientan el poder de nuestra resistencia económica.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;¡Unidos, fuertes y conscientes, Puerto Rico demostrará que su gente es poderosa y que su dignidad no se negocia!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Boycott Statement in English&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;United Against Corruption and Abuse of Power in Puerto Rico&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Puerto Rico is facing a crisis. Corporate and financial elites, through their multimillion-dollar support of the "Democracia es Prosperidad" Super PAC, have enabled the PNP to regain control of our island, disregarding the desire for change held by most Puerto Ricans. They have supported an administration known for corruption, lack of transparency, and policies that benefit only a few, while the people face worsening poverty, loss of labor rights, and continued economic exploitation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What do we want?&lt;/b&gt; We demand justice and dignity for Puerto Ricans. With this boycott campaign, Puerto Rican consumers will send a strong and clear message: we will not be complicit in our own oppression. Economic resistance will be our tool of protest, making the weight of our indignation and power as consumers felt by every company and figure that, out of greed and ambition, has chosen to support a corrupt and oppressive regime.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These companies not only limit Puerto Rico's inclusive economic development but also solidify their power and wealth through precarious working conditions, low wages, and minimal benefits, promoting a cycle of exploitation that deepens the crisis of our working class. "Support local" loses all meaning when that support fuels corruption and stagnation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Our call is clear:&lt;/b&gt; let’s practice conscious, patriotic, and responsible consumption. Let’s reject the products and services of those entities that prolong our hardships and instead promote alternatives that truly work toward a fairer and more prosperous Puerto Rico.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Strategic Boycott&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A strategic and targeted boycott by 370,904 Puerto Rican voters—those who cast their votes for Juan Dalmau and the PIP/MVC Alliance—could have a significant economic impact on companies that provided financial support to the "Democracia es Prosperidad" Super PAC, enabling the corrupt PNP to return to power. This powerful act of economic resistance sends a clear message to these companies: supporting a political party that prioritizes the interests of a few over the needs of the people will bear real consequences.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Should these voters choose to withhold their purchases, &lt;b&gt;Medalla and Malta India&lt;/b&gt;, popular local beverages, could face losses estimated at $148,361,600 over the next four years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Goya Products&lt;/b&gt;, a major brand of staple foods, might see an impact of $74,180,800, and &lt;b&gt;Kraft Heinz&lt;/b&gt; products could experience losses reaching $44,508,480.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fast food giant &lt;b&gt;Burger King&lt;/b&gt; could be impacted by approximately $148,361,600.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the financial sector, &lt;b&gt;Banco Popular &amp;amp; First Bank&lt;/b&gt; would feel a one-time economic blow of $185,452,000 from consumers transferring their accounts to local credit unions—an impactful shift demonstrating the power of conscious consumer choice.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Caribbean Cinemas&lt;/b&gt;, often frequented for entertainment, would experience a $37,090,400 reduction in revenue.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Altogether, this targeted boycott could result in a combined estimated economic impact of &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;$674,954,880&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; over four years. This action by Puerto Rican consumers stands to remind these corporations that aligning with corrupt politics in Puerto Rico will not go unnoticed and will be met with unified resistance, shifting support toward businesses that are committed to the island’s welfare, integrity, and future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;If we are to struggle for another four years against a corrupt and inept government, we will ensure that those who uphold it feel the power of our economic resistance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;United, strong, and aware, Puerto Rico will show that its people are powerful and that our dignity is not for sale!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;---------------------------------------------------------&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lista de Productos y Empresas Boicoteadas - Bilingüe (en formato PDF)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;List of Boycotted Products &amp;amp; Companies - Bilingual (in PDF format)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SpxOZH4EL5hSdvXwMCgoV-FO7d-6fMqJ/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"&gt;https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SpxOZH4EL5hSdvXwMCgoV-FO7d-6fMqJ/view?usp=sharing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>¡Boicot a los Donantes del PNP! // Boycott PNP Donors!</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1008/kristy-moving-to-their-grandmas</loc><lastmod>2023-10-17T22:56:13.903Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1008/kristy-moving-to-their-grandmas"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>please sign it thank you</image:caption><image:title>kristy moving to their grandmas </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1136/bring-back-corkscrew-hill-at-busch-gardens</loc><lastmod>2022-08-12T14:58:26.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1136/bring-back-corkscrew-hill-at-busch-gardens"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Corkscrew Hill was one of the best rides at Busch Gardens Williamsburg at sadly it was been removed let’s come together and bring back this awesome ride.</image:caption><image:title>Bring Back CorkScrew Hill at Busch Gardens </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2657/our-history-matters-support-s25471</loc><lastmod>2025-07-07T20:20:55.861Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2657/our-history-matters-support-s25471"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Four-history-matters-support-s2547?alt=media&amp;token=11c0810c-40e0-4f41-99b6-1623d8eba639</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Our History Matters – Support S2547&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Every student deserves to see themselves reflected in the stories they learn.&lt;/bold&gt; S2547 is a groundbreaking bill that aims to establish a &lt;underline&gt;culturally responsive education curriculum and standards&lt;/underline&gt; across New York State. By supporting S2547, we are championing an education system that genuinely values and celebrates the diversity of our students’ cultural, linguistic, and racial experiences.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Why does this matter?&lt;/bold&gt; New York is one of the most diverse states in the nation. Yet, for too long, students from historically marginalized groups have rarely found their histories and voices represented in school curricula. S2547 will change that by ensuring all public, charter, and private schools integrate culturally relevant content at every grade level, helping students build empathy, pride, and a better understanding of one another.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;What does S2547 do?&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Requires every school to adopt culturally responsive teaching standards.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Establishes a pilot program to guide best practices and foster innovation.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Provides $25 million in funding to support implementation and teacher development.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a pivotal moment.

Reports from recent weeks expose conditions that are designed to dehumanize and traumatize individuals—adults and children alike. These reports describe survivors enduring physical, verbal, and sexual abuse, as well as woefully inadequate medical care and neglect, leading to preventable tragedies. Solitary confinement, rotten food, being chained for hours without access to basic necessities, and separation of children from their caregivers are all recurring realities within these centers.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Despite the existence of oversight and supposed inspections, substandard conditions persist. Inspections are often announced in advance, giving facilities a chance to cover up violations. Internal oversight mechanisms have been weakened, and accountability is routinely avoided. Even as Congress considers increasing funding and expanding detention capacity, thousands remain locked away in unsafe, unhealthy, and degrading conditions, with children especially vulnerable.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Here’s why your voice matters now:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Spreading awareness challenges the normalization of cruelty and neglect in these facilities.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Standing in solidarity sends a powerful message that abuses will not be ignored or accepted.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Public pressure is critical for demanding humane treatment and real accountability from decision-makers.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Join the call to demand dignity and justice for every person in detention.

Scientists have developed a promising solution: assisted gene flow, a method that involves sharing coral genetic material across national borders to boost reef resilience.

However, outdated international regulations and bureaucratic red tape are blocking this vital conservation tool, risking the irreversible loss of coral ecosystems that support 25% of marine life and over a billion people globally.

This campaign demands that PNUMA and ICRI lead urgent reforms to create clear, flexible, and science-based policies that allow the safe, responsible transfer of coral genetic material between countries. We call for the establishment of regional coral biobanks and streamlined international protocols so coral restoration efforts can scale up quickly before it’s too late.

Despite clear facts and strong support for this bill, certain legislators have made deeply concerning and misinformed statements regarding the family court bills. These comments ignore the real-world impacts and the voices of the people who will be most affected.

If HB2995 is going to pass, legislators need to hear directly from their constituents—now. Emails, calls, and messages matter more than ever at this stage. Lawmakers must understand that voters are paying attention and expect informed, responsible leadership.

Please take a moment today to contact your representatives and urge them to support HB2995. Silence right now could cost us this bill.

Why? Because President Trump, under the influence of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, chose sabotage over peace.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Intelligence reports—including one from Tulsi Gabbard, the head of U.S. intelligence agency—confirmed that Iran was&amp;nbsp;not&amp;nbsp;pursuing a nuclear bomb. Trump launched a 60-day negotiation process with Tehran. The Iranians participated openly and constructively. There was cautious hope on both sides.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then came the &lt;b&gt;Israel First agenda.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a move timed just days before the final round of peace talks, &lt;b&gt;Israel launched a surprise strike on Iran—specifically targeting its nuclear sites and civilian areas to sabotage peace.&lt;/b&gt; This was no defensive maneuver. It was a calculated act of aggression, planned for months, and carried out with the knowledge and support of the Trump administration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If we allow this course to continue unchecked, the world may never recover.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tulsi Gabbard&lt;/b&gt; has sounded the alarm: "It is up to us, the people, to speak up and demand an end to this madness. &lt;b&gt;We must reject this path to nuclear war.&lt;/b&gt;"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Steve Bannon&lt;/b&gt; put it plainly: "They [the Israelis] are Israel First, &lt;b&gt;we need to always be America First&lt;/b&gt;."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mr. President, this isn’t our war. Don’t let Americans die for Israel’s fight.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join these MAGA figures to say #NoWarWithIran.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tulsi Gabbard&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sen.

Pwofesè yo ap sipliye pou yon ogmantasyon 10% nan bidjè a pou jwenn plis resous pou timoun nou yo epi pou yo ka touche yon salè jis.  Tanpri pran 1 minit pou voye yon lèt alavans bay lidè nou yo pou mande yo fè sa rive.  Jis ajoute non w, adrès/pawas, ak lekòl pitit ou a (yo) nan pati anba a.&lt;p&gt;Mesaj la pral voye an angle men li di:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chè Majistra Ballantyne, Komite Lekòl la ak Konsèy Vil la,

M ap ekri jodi a pou sipòte finansman ogmante pou lekòl leta Somerville.  

Lekòl yo gen yon pwosesis kolaborasyon bidjè e sa te lakòz yon demann pou plis pase yon ogmantasyon "nivo sèvis".  Nivo sèvis vle di ke twòp timoun pa jwenn sèvis yo bezwen yo epi yo gen dwa legalman, twòp pwofesè ak parapwofesyonèl pa fè yon salè ase, epi yon lekòl konplètman deplase akòz antretyen reta nan bilding yo.  

Plis pase nan prezantasyon bidjè yè swa nou te tande nan men pwofesè nou yo ke yo te mande yo fè sa enposib. Nou pral pèdi edikatè etonan sa yo si nou pa bay plis resous pou yo anseye elèv nou yo.

Tanpri sonje valè kominote ou te eli pou reprezante a - sa vle di priyorite elèv nou yo ak edikasyon yo.  Nan yon moman kote vil nou an ak komite lekòl nou an ap lajistis gouvènman federal la pou tantativ li fè pou chanje elèv yo kout, se pou nou pa koupab de menm bagay la.  Olye de sa, ann mete lajan nou kote bouch nou ye epi finanse lekòl nou yo nèt AK respekte, kenbe ak soutni pwofesè nou yo lè nou peye tout moun ki travay ak timoun nou yo yon salè vivan.

Mèsi yon votè,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Fonksyone totalman Lekòl Somerville yo</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2453/children-first-strengthening-custody-laws-for-safety-and-wellbeing</loc><lastmod>2025-03-26T19:31:11.393Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2453/children-first-strengthening-custody-laws-for-safety-and-wellbeing"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fchildren-first-strengthening-custody-laws-for-safety-wellbeing?alt=media&amp;token=1af0640f-7f5f-448d-89ca-06041c7cc484</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;b&gt;Children First: Strengthening Custody Laws for Safety &amp;amp; Wellbeing&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment, yet outdated custody laws too often fail to prioritize their safety and well-being.

Courts may grant custody or visitation to individuals with current and past issues of abuse, neglect, or instability—placing innocent children at risk.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Together, we can create a legal system that protects, rather than endangers, our most vulnerable.

midwives, surgical assistants, physical therapists, psychologists and other
healthcare team members are going on record to speak out FOR Reverend Mark
Holland and other candidates who believe in and support civil rights for all people
regardless of gender, and who will help unite our elected officials against radical
extremism.
This statement is necessary because, despite the fact that Kansans voted
resoundingly AGAINST a constitutional amendment that would allow right wing
politicians to legislate a ban on evidence-based, scientific, humane and
comprehensive medical care for pregnant people, there are Senators and
Congresspersons who are, even now, crafting federal legislation which will do
exactly what the majority of Americans do NOT want: banning reproductive
healthcare such as abortion in every circumstance.
We stand AGAINST extreme political measures that subjugate women as second-
class citizens without rights of bodily autonomy and privacy, and jeopardize their
health and future childbearing capacity.
We stand AGAINST the criminalization of life-saving, compassionate medical care
in the most devastating and personal of circumstances: complicated pregnancies
and those that are the result of rape, incest or sexual abuse.
We stand FOR those candidates (like Mark Holland) who have pledged to fight for
a national policy of commonsense support for the pregnant people and clinicians
who make difficult decisions daily, and need to have these conversations in the
privacy of the medical office and exam room without fear of recrimination.

This refined tradition has gained supporters from all over the New England area and shown them just how beautiful our small town is.    Since Silver Scone only hosts teas 3-4 times per month, it makes the business very exclusive and in high demand for brides looking to celebrate their bridal showers.  The general public can also make reservations at the themed teas once or twice per month.    But now after nearly two years, the un-neighborly neighbors have bullied the town into closing down Silver Scone.  There is constant harassment towards it and completely made up complaints to the town from these neighbors.
Silver Scone will do whatever the town zoning board requires to get up and running again, but it needs your support to show the ZBA and BOS in the town of New Ipswich, that this small, part time, woman owned business should stay here and continue putting smiles on the faces of the guests who visit.

Open-net salmon farms pollute oceans, spread parasites that literally eat fish alive, and cause mass die-offs. Feeding these farms consumes millions of tons of wild fish every year — depleting the very resources coastal communities depend on.&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;Worse still, recent investigations have linked parts of the global salmon supply chain to Uyghur forced labor and other human rights abuses. That means the plate of farmed salmon placed in front of you may, in fact, be rewarding enslavers and exploiters.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many restaurants and chefs are now rejecting all farmed salmon. over 150 eateries in the UK have pledged to stop serving it, and momentum is growing worldwide. Texas Roadhouse has the chance to lead in the U.S. — and to live up to its values.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We encourage everyone who cares about the oceans to write to and push Texas Roadhouse to remove farmed salmon from all menus nationwide and to commit to sourcing only ethical, cruelty-free seafood.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We hereby request that Texas Roadhouse publicly disclose their seafood suppliers and farming methods so that we can advise them on our findings regarding their methods. Farmed salmon has no place at a family restaurant that prides itself on quality and integrity. Much Norwegian farmed salmon comes from farms that are polluting and simply not-sustainable.

While intended to address substance use disorder and overdose deaths, the bill raises serious concerns.&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;Involuntary treatment is not supported by evidence as an effective long-term solution and can increase the risk of relapse and overdose after release. The bill permits extended loss of liberty for a medical condition, relying on coercion, court enforcement, and potential contempt penalties rather than voluntary care.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The proposal expands the role of courts and law enforcement in what should be a public health response, increasing the risk of trauma and criminalization of people with substance use disorder. It also creates inequity by requiring petitioners to guarantee treatment and transportation costs, effectively limiting access based on financial means.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rather than improving outcomes, this approach diverts resources from proven strategies such as voluntary, on-demand treatment, medication-assisted treatment, peer support, harm reduction, housing, and mental health services.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For these reasons, House Bill 4458 should be rejected in favor of evidence-based, voluntary, and rights-respecting public health solutions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Oppose House Bill 4458 - The Substance Abuse Intervention Act</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2341/stronger-carlsbad-schools-for-my-child</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T22:11:34.465Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2341/stronger-carlsbad-schools-for-my-child"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Carlsbad Municipal School Board,&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;As a parent and community member, I want to make sure all students have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for the future, equipping them with the skills they need for great jobs, lifelong learning &amp;amp; success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe it is important to:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Ensure our schools implement structured literacy programs to improve reading&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Expand access to career &amp;amp; technical education so students graduate ready for high-demand jobs&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Attract &amp;amp; retain high-quality educators by strengthening training &amp;amp; support&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Invest in early childhood education programs to give kids a strong foundation to succeed&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our children's futures depend on strong schools.

Yet, this vital corridor remains dangerously narrow and severely congested, especially between I-85 and Hwy 73. It’s time for a change that prioritizes safety, efficiency, and the future of our region.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Widening Poplar Tent Road to Hwy 73 is not just about easing traffic—it's about saving lives, reducing commute times, and supporting local economic growth.&lt;/bold&gt; Current conditions contribute to frequent accidents, emergency vehicle delays, and limited accessibility for schools and neighborhoods. As our population continues to grow, the strain on this outdated infrastructure only worsens.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;The benefits of widening this road are clear:&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;underline&gt;Improved traffic flow&lt;/underline&gt; – reducing daily congestion and stress for drivers.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;underline&gt;Enhanced safety&lt;/underline&gt; – fewer accidents and safer conditions for all road users.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;underline&gt;Support for economic development&lt;/underline&gt; – better access for businesses, workers, and customers.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;underline&gt;Emergency response access&lt;/underline&gt; – quicker response times for fire, police, and medical services.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;This project is about building a better, safer future for all who live, work, and travel through our area.

LNG poses serious threats, not just to our environment, but to the health and safety of countless communities across the nation. As an inherently hazardous substance, LNG is highly combustible, posing risks of devastating explosions and fires that could lead to catastrophic impacts on neighborhoods and ecosystems.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;By supporting the transition away from LNG and all dirty fossil fuels, we can safeguard our communities, promote cleaner air, and invest in a future powered by sustainable, renewable energy. This transition is essential to fighting climate change, reducing environmental damage, and ensuring a healthier planet for future generations.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;We urge President Joe Biden to prioritize this critical issue and take decisive action. The potential for catastrophic disasters linked to the transportation, storage, and processing of LNG is too great to ignore. Now is the time to phase out fossil fuels and invest in sustainable alternatives. Our communities deserve protection from such avoidable risks, and our planet needs us to step up and make cleaner, smarter energy choices.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Join us in this pivotal movement to phase out LNG. &lt;underline&gt;Stand with us and demand change to protect our communities today!&lt;/underline&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Protect Communities from Dangerous Liquefied Natural Gas</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1620/frontier-airlines-boycott</loc><lastmod>2023-05-09T22:52:01.763Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1620/frontier-airlines-boycott"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2FFrontier%20Airlines%20Boycott?alt=media&amp;token=3b0b4989-e7d3-4bec-ad52-12050a75b8e2</image:loc><image:caption>DO NOT FLY WITH FRONTIER AIRLINES! This boycott is a promise to never fly with Frontier Airlines again, unless we are justly compensated. Frontier Airlines has recently let go of a lot of their customer service staff and claim it is to keep flight prices low. What this has actually done, is make it nearly impossible to get in contact with a direct representative at Frontier. Frontier continually over book their flights by more than a little bit and when it comes down to it, they try to weed passengers out, not by offering flight credits like other airlines, but by moving flight times. This major inconvenience results in passengers potentially missing both connecting and direct flights, consequently paying a rebooking fee. Not only that, when it comes time to board, they are sticklers about their baggage policy, which is standard, the policy is the policy and is outlined publicly, so customers know where to find them and how to adhere. What is not okay, is when the company does not uphold their own policies. There have been numerous cases where customers are abiding by the policies and still denied entry to the flight or made to check their personal item at the gate for an additional $100. This is unacceptable and there is no accountability for the employees who are not following the policies in place. There is a blatant disregard for customer service. Hopefully with the aid of this boycott, we will see some action taken. Customer service representatives will become much more accessible and definitely by phone. Every customer who can provide proof that policy was not upheld, should be refunded. There also needs to be some accountability for the employees and how they treat customers.</image:caption><image:title>Frontier Airlines Boycott</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/605/let-s-soften-the-sound-in-parkville-and-carney</loc><lastmod>2021-04-04T10:51:24.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://img.youtube.com/vi/HxZX4aaq1aw/hqdefault.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Let's soften the sound in Parkville and Carney</video:title><video:description>We are asking for Noise Study, Allocation for funding for analysis &amp; design (if noise meets criteria) and ultimately Construction of Sound Barrier for the Baltimore Beltway (Bwy), Interstate 695 (from Putty Hill to Harford Road on the inside of the Bwy and from Avondale Avenue to Harford Road on the outside of the Bwy)</video:description><video:tag>Public Safety</video:tag><video:tag>Environment</video:tag><video:tag>Health</video:tag></video:video><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/605/let-s-soften-the-sound-in-parkville-and-carney"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>We are asking for Noise Study, Allocation for funding for analysis &amp; design (if noise meets criteria) and ultimately Construction of Sound Barrier for the Baltimore Beltway (Bwy), Interstate 695 (from Putty Hill to Harford Road on the inside of the Bwy and from Avondale Avenue to Harford Road on the outside of the Bwy)</image:caption><image:title>Let's soften the sound in Parkville and Carney</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1924/100-votes-for-chris-to-get-a-buzz</loc><lastmod>2024-12-13T16:36:08.081Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1924/100-votes-for-chris-to-get-a-buzz"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>uhhh vote and i’ll get a buzz at 💯</image:caption><image:title>100 votes for chris to get a buzz </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2467/tulsis-reckless-reveal-resign-now</loc><lastmod>2025-03-27T17:19:11.551Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2467/tulsis-reckless-reveal-resign-now"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Ftulsis-reckless-reveal-resign-now?alt=media&amp;token=c03bafed-754a-4e61-8dc5-f0f549288dc0</image:loc><image:caption>This week trumps national security team carelessly leaked war plans on an unregulated and unsecured text app. This action puts our troops in harms way and endangers our national security tulsi must resign immediately for our national security safety&amp;nbsp;</image:caption><image:title>Tulsis reckless reveal: resign now</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2652/co-sponsor-bill-s2547-for-inclusive-history1</loc><lastmod>2025-07-07T20:30:11.638Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2652/co-sponsor-bill-s2547-for-inclusive-history1"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fco-sponsor-bill-s2547-for-inclusive-history?alt=media&amp;token=35dafab7-7659-4ee9-ae45-c4cb00669ab0</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Support Inclusive Education: Co-sponsor Bill S2547!&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Bill S2547 stands at the forefront of transforming New York’s schools by establishing a culturally responsive education curriculum and standards for all students across public, charter, and private schools.&lt;/bold&gt; This bill was introduced to ensure that every student, regardless of background, can see their history, culture, and experiences reflected in what they learn. By centering cultural, linguistic, and racial diversity, the legislation aims to foster environments where every learner feels valued and empowered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Why does this matter?&lt;/bold&gt; New York has one of the most diverse student populations in the country. Research shows that when students engage with material that resonates with their own lived experiences, educational outcomes improve and engagement increases. Bill S2547 will not only help close achievement gaps, but also prepare students to thrive in a multicultural world by promoting understanding, respect, and civic participation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Key points of the bill include:&lt;underline&gt;&lt;/underline&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The establishment of a statewide, culturally responsive curriculum and standards at every grade level.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Requirements for all school districts, charter schools, and private schools to fully integrate these new standards.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Creation of a pilot program to drive innovation in culturally responsive education, supported by a dedicated $25 million appropriation.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Join our campaign to urge lawmakers to co-sponsor Bill S2547 and ensure every student receives a truly inclusive education. Together, we can build a future where all voices and histories are honored in our classrooms.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Co-sponsor Bill S2547 for Inclusive history</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/932/free-the-journalist-imran-riaz-khan</loc><lastmod>2022-07-05T19:28:25.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/932/free-the-journalist-imran-riaz-khan"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>"As said By Hazrat Ali Ibn e Abi Talib A.S"

For years, corrupt individuals have exploited federalism for personal gain, enriching themselves while essential public services suffer. It is time to take a stand against those who misuse power and betray the trust of the people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nepal’s federal structure was meant to empower local communities, promote development, and ensure fair governance. Instead, corruption has seeped into every level, diverting resources away from education, healthcare, infrastructure, and the livelihoods of hardworking citizens. Nepali people deserve leadership that serves them—not a system that enables unchecked corruption and mismanagement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We urge all citizens to unite and &lt;b&gt;boycott&lt;/b&gt; corrupt officials, businesses, and institutions that support or enable these unethical practices. By refusing to engage with those who exploit Nepal’s federal system, we send a clear message: we will not tolerate corruption any longer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Join this movement by:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Raising awareness about corruption in Nepal’s federal system.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Holding officials accountable through legal and peaceful means.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Refusing to support businesses and entities tied to corrupt practices.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Encouraging ethical leadership and governance.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Together, we can restore integrity to Nepal’s federal system and build a future where justice, fairness, and accountability prevail. Stand with us. Boycott corruption. Demand change.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Boycott  Corrupted Goons of Federalism in Nepal </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1844/test-unsubscribe</loc><lastmod>2024-07-09T05:55:35.565Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1844/test-unsubscribe"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Test Unsubscribe</image:caption><image:title>Test Unsubscribe</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1121/save-our-neighborhood-from-high-density-development</loc><lastmod>2022-11-07T05:58:09.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1121/save-our-neighborhood-from-high-density-development"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2FSave%20Our%20Neighborhood%20From%20High-Density%20Development?alt=media&amp;token=ef1abcdc-5ed6-49c7-a756-fb35e59d8a44</image:loc><image:caption>I am opposed to the higher-density housing allowed by rezoning 6047/6059 W.

Each time they travel through Israel, they are subjected to over 5 hours of interrogation and humiliation - their phones searched, their dignity stripped away. This is not an isolated incident but a recurring pattern that has affected many innocent travelers.&amp;#160;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;Delta Airlines recently&amp;#160;&lt;a href="https://news.delta.com/delta-and-el-al-israel-airlines-launch-long-term-codeshare-agreement" target="_blank"&gt;expanded its partnership&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#160;with Israel's EL AL airline. This move will likely result in more passengers being funneled through Tel Aviv for connecting flights in the future. Given the current discriminatory practices at this airport and at EL AL, it is highly probable that Muslim passengers will miss their connecting flights due to unnecessarily prolonged security checks.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;This situation is not only unfair but also unjust. No one should be subjected to such treatment based on their religious beliefs or ethnicity. It goes against the principles of equality and respect for human rights which we all hold dear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;According to a report by Haaretz, there were numerous complaints about ethnic profiling by EL AL or immigration authorities, where Arab passengers were often singled out for invasive security checks which include &amp;#34;ridiculous, humiliatingly intimate

We believe every family deserves access to high-quality childcare, and opening a new daycare is the essential step towards realizing this vision. As members of this wonderful community, we have the power to shape its future by ensuring our youngest members have a strong start in life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Currently, many local families face challenges in securing affordable childcare, which can put a strain on both parents and children. The opening of a new daycare center will alleviate this burden, providing parents with peace of mind as they pursue their careers while their children engage in educational and social experiences. This initiative promises a ripple effect of positivity, bolstering our neighborhood’s economic stability and fostering a sense of unity and collaboration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our proposed daycare will not only offer a safe haven for children but also become a hub for community interaction. By supporting this endeavor, you contribute to creating job opportunities, promoting diversity, and establishing a foundation of learning that will benefit our community for generations to come.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us as we rally together to bring this dream to life. Let us plant the seeds of growth and opportunity that our children deserve. Your support is crucial in helping us make this vision a reality.

Introduce yourself by focusing on the skills you bring to the table rather than how many years you’ve been at the company. 

2. Refrain from using generational terms like Millennial, Gen Z, Gen X, or Boomer to refer to individuals or groups because these terms are loaded with assumptions, stereotypes, and negative connotations.

3. Make a concerted effort to reach out to get to know team members with different experiences and recognize everyone has a valuable perspective to share.

4. Try to include employees of all ages and experience levels in brainstorms and projects, and set the expectation that the best ideas will be the ones that rise to the top, rather than just the ideas of those with the loudest voice or the most tenure.

5. Stop making hiring decisions based on the age of the applicant because people of all ages can enter the workplace at ALL levels.

6. Advocate to make ageism part of DEI education companywide, and address it as we’re working on breaking down the other -isms within our cultures. 

7. Create ageism ERGs, with representatives from all ages and experience levels represented, so that additional training and learning opportunities, company policies, and team practices can be informed with perspectives from across the spectrum. </image:caption><image:title>Pledge to End Ageism in the Workplace </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2225/stronger-schools-for-our-seagraves-isd-community</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T05:37:10.051Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2225/stronger-schools-for-our-seagraves-isd-community"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Seagraves ISD Board,&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;I’m deeply invested in our local education system’s success - it’s the foundation that ensures our youth &amp;amp; community thrive.

In an email, the Editor told Ms. Hightower that simply writing “Katrina devastated New Orleans” in the newspaper's stories is acceptable as a "shorthand.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The Editor didn't stop there. The Editor also added “...we don’t explain why the sky is blue when we write about the weather."&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;Using Katrina Shorthand is lazy and sloppy and dishonors the souls who perished as well as the survivors of the flooding.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Years ago, the Associated Press issued a memo to all its reporters worldwide alerting them that when writing about the 2005 flooding of New Orleans, they must add that levee failure played a major role.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Now at the 20th anniversary of the levee breaches during Katrina, The Advocate has still not issued such a memo.

In a state with over 400,000 Asian American and Pacific Islander residents and expansive local histories, including two Japanese American incarceration camps during WWII and the establishment of Arizona Public Services (APS), these minimal mentions are not enough.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SB1301 takes a measured and responsible approach to fixing this.   It does not mandate a standalone course, impose new graduation requirements, or burden educators with unfunded mandates. Instead, it ensures that AANHPI histories are integrated at some point during a student’s academic career, allowing educators and local experts to determine how best to deliver that content. This is about recognizing reality. About telling the truth. And about affirming that all Americans, regardless of background, belong in our national story.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Support SB 1301 to require Asian American history in K-12 Schools</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/128/support-the-act-to-prevent-pardon-abuse</loc><lastmod>2022-01-26T13:20:32.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/128/support-the-act-to-prevent-pardon-abuse"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>California Rep.

The LifeTime Board of Directors and other corporate executives are also driving the change.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What may change their mind?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s hard to say… maybe nothing. But it’s clear this is driven primarily by financial interests. But many believe LifeTime has not heard from us yet and there IS a chance that LifeTime has not assessed the full financial risk, given they have not heard from our community yet and we need to let them know that&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;the impact may be larger than anticipated.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, not ALL corporate decisions are solely financial. We can also appeal the human beings running this company and let them know what is they have built and what is they are actually destroying. &lt;b&gt;Let them know it is more than just any gym for us.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, LifeTime has gotten rid of basketball courts around the country… but LTGV is unlike any other club in the country. There are more leagues, more pickup games, and members who are excited about playing basketball. We bring our families, and we bring other members. There is a good chance that if basketball players leave the gym over this decision, or don’t use other services in the gym as a means of boycotting, that it will have negative impact on the bottom line.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are hundreds to thousands of regular basketball players and UHoops players. We have families. Our voices matter and they must be heard before this is said and done.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What can you do?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FOR NOW, sign the petition! If you feel moved to do so, email the decision-makers, call, and tweet. Tell your story. Make your voices heard.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SHARE this petition (saveourcourts.com) with every LifeTime member you know.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every single baller in LTGV must know about this and they have to know about it now. We have no chance if we don’t come together and act immediately. Thank you!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Save Our LifeTime Green Valley Basketball Courts!</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2084/tester</loc><lastmod>2025-02-25T17:37:13.457Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2084/tester"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Ftester?alt=media&amp;token=0cc1351e-406d-46d9-9fc8-4e39faf62433</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Andrews ISD Superintendent,&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;As a parent &amp;amp; community member, I want to make sure all students have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for the future, equipping them with the skills for great jobs, lifelong learning &amp;amp; success.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I support:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;-Expanding access to high-quality public &amp;amp; charter public school options to meet the diverse needs of all students&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;-Retaining high-quality teachers by providing increased access to strong curriculum, comprehensive training, support &amp;amp; incentives&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;-Strengthening Career &amp;amp; Technical Education (CTE) programs to connect students with real-world work opportunities&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;-Creating safe learning environments for students &amp;amp; teachers

AN ACT Relating to affirming the right to travel and reforming motor vehicle regulation in Washington state; repealing driver licensing requirements; preserving vehicle registration for ownership recordation; and maintaining public safety standards.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. Findings—Intent.

(1) The Legislature finds that:
(a) The right of the people to travel upon the public ways is a fundamental liberty interest;

(c) Vehicle registration remains a legitimate and necessary function of state government for purposes of ownership record, identification, and recovery of stolen property;
(d) Road safety can be maintained through reasonable rules of operation without conditioning travel upon licenses, fees, or compulsory insurance.

(2) It is the intent of the Legislature to:
(a) Abolish driver licensing, testing, and road-use fees;
(b) Preserve vehicle registration solely for purposes of ownership and identification;
(c) Recognize the right to travel as a protected liberty, not a state-granted privilege; and
(d) Maintain rules of safe operation on public ways.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. Identification cards.

(1) The department shall issue state identification cards to residents upon application.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. Vehicle registration.

(1) Every motor vehicle operated on a public way must be registered with the department for the purpose of establishing ownership and issuing identification plates.

(3) Registration shall not be conditioned on proof of insurance, emissions testing, or possession of a driver license.
(4) The department shall issue a certificate of registration and identification plates upon completion of registration.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. Right to travel.

(1) Every person has a fundamental right to travel upon the public ways of this state by personal conveyance, including motor vehicles, without a driver license, permit, or other credential.
(2) The absence of a driver license or proof of insurance shall not constitute an offense, infraction, or probable cause for detention, arrest, or search.

(1) All persons operating motor vehicles must exercise ordinary care and obey the safety provisions of chapter 46.61 RCW.
(2) A person who operates a motor vehicle in a reckless manner that endangers life, health, or property commits a traffic infraction, or, if serious bodily injury results, a gross misdemeanor.

(2) The office of financial management shall prepare a report on fiscal impacts and recommend adjustments to replace lost licensing revenue.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 9. Conforming amendments.

(1) All references in the Revised Code of Washington to “driver license” as a condition of operating a motor vehicle are hereby repealed or amended to conform with this act.
(2) All references to “driver license” for non-driving purposes (such as identification) shall be construed to mean “state identification card.”

NEW SECTION. Sec. 10. Severability.

If any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the act or its application to other persons or circumstances is not affected.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 11. Effective date.

This act takes effect January 1, 2027.</image:caption><image:title>The Travel Rights and Registration Reform Act</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2105/give-d-days-to-o</loc><lastmod>2025-01-27T20:07:50.435Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2105/give-d-days-to-o"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fgive-d-days-to-o?alt=media&amp;token=c151106a-77f1-4f10-93be-1948b324bc2f</image:loc><image:caption>Aya and Omar should make it a priority to sit together during late lunch on designated days since their time together is limited.

A simple $5 trigger lock may have saved his life. 

Statistics show

Nearly 1,300 children younger than 18 years of age die from shootings every year.

1 in 3 families with children have at least one gun in the house. It is estimated that there are more than 22 million children living in homes with guns.

Most of the victims of unintentional shootings are boys. 

Nearly 40% of all unintentional shooting deaths among children 11-14 years of age occur in the home of a friend.

We have the power to change this.

This petition as asking the officials that we elected into office to REQUIRE EVERY gun bought, sold or exchanged to come with an external gun lock.

There have been numerous reviews preceding the current social media outcry indicating safety concerns, including alleged unlawful entries into guests' rooms by hotel staff and history mistreatment of Indigenous people.&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;These accounts, which reflect on your website through user reviews, should be reason enough to reassess your association with the Marlborough Hotel.&amp;#10;&amp;#10;In light of these serious allegations, I urge your platform to take immediate action by removing the Marlborough Hotel from your listings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;oing so would be a testament to your commitment to upholding high standards of safety and quality for both your customers and your brand.&amp;#10;&amp;#10;Please consider the health risks and the violation of guest safety.

Its impacts have been felt in public safety, ethical practices, and the well-being of countless individuals. Re-banning CNP is not just about addressing a single issue—it’s about protecting our shared values and ensuring that harmful practices don’t take root in our society.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The repercussions of allowing CNP to persist are undeniable.&lt;/b&gt; It has proven to be a source of disruption, fostering environments that undermine unity, accountability, and trust. By re-banning CNP, we can take a stand for integrity, fairness, and the collective good of all members of our community. This is a call to action for everyone who believes in fostering a positive and ethical environment for future generations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Together, we can make a difference.&lt;/b&gt; By supporting the re-banning of CNP, we send a powerful message that harmful practices have no place in our lives. Let’s work together to uphold the principles of fairness, safety, and ethical responsibility. The time to act is now—our communities deserve nothing less!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Join us in advocating for the re-ban of CNP and help create a stronger, more compassionate community for everyone.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Re-ban CNP!</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2934/oppose-hb-5319-camping-ban</loc><lastmod>2026-02-25T20:05:39.035Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2934/oppose-hb-5319-camping-ban"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Foppose-hb-5319-camping-ban?alt=media&amp;token=4e3d9e61-2569-4821-82c3-1f3cf9f3c201</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Opposition to House Bill 5319 - Camping Ban&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I strongly oppose this bill because it criminalizes homelessness, punishes poverty, and fails to address the root cause of housing instability in West Virginia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While framed as a public health and safety measure, this legislation makes it a crime for people with nowhere else to go to exist in public spaces. Instead of investing in housing, treatment, and supportive services, it imposes fines and jail time on people who are already struggling to survive.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Criminalizing homelessness Does Not Solve Homelessness&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill makes camping or storing personal belongings on public property a misdemeanor offense, escalating to jail time for repeat violations. For people who cannot afford housing:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A fine up to $250 is unpayable&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jail time disrupts employment, treatment, and benefits&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Criminal records make housing access even harder&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Punishing people for sleeping outside when no adequate shelter exists does not reduce homelessness - it deepens it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;Vague and Overbroad Definitions Invite Harm&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill defines “camping” and “camp paraphernalia” so broadly that common survival items like:&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Blankets&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sleeping bags&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Backpacks&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tarps&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Could trigger criminal penalties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It also criminalizes “storing personal property” on virtually any public land, including unimproved property. This opens the door to:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Confiscation of survival belongings&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Destruction of medications, IDs, and documents&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Increased instability for already vulnerable residents&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Losing identification or essential documents can delay access to housing, employment, and healthcare for months.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;
Escalating Penalties Worsen Public Safety
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill escalates penalties within 12 months, including potential jail time.

For nearly a year, Ja’Nyryah White has been incarcerated while awaiting trial in connection with the tragic passing of her friend, April Tapia. Both young women were victims of the fentanyl crisis. They struggled with addiction together, and either one of them could have lost their life.

Yet today, instead of being recognized as a survivor of addiction who has since become sober, Ja’Nyryah is being unfairly held and has been denied bond three times, without clear evidence tying her to April’s death.

We believe Ja’Nyryah is not receiving a fair trial. The case has been repeatedly framed as “our family versus their family.” The influence of the other family — with a relative in the court system, a judge in another state, and a respected medical professional in the community — creates an imbalance that undermines justice.

⚖️ Justice should not depend on family names, professional standing, or influence. It should depend on truth, evidence, and fairness.

Over this past year, Ja’Nyryah has done something remarkable: she has gotten sober. She is healthy, rebuilding her life, and has a strong support system waiting for her. She deserves the chance to continue her recovery outside of a jail cell.

We are calling on the court to:
		-	Grant Ja’Nyryah White a fair bond reduction.
		-	Ensure she receives an impartial trial judged on evidence, not influence.
		-	Recognize her progress in sobriety and the support she has behind her.

Please add your name to this petition to demand fairness and justice for Ja’Nyryah White. She is not a scapegoat. She is not responsible for April’s death. She is a survivor, and she deserves a chance to move forward with her life.</image:caption><image:title>Support NyNy in the biased trial of her friends tragic death</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2198/stronger-fort-stockton-isd-schools-for-my-child</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T20:53:30.054Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2198/stronger-fort-stockton-isd-schools-for-my-child"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Fort Stockton ISD School Board,&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;As a parent in our community, I want to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for the future, equipping them with the skills for great jobs, lifelong learning &amp;amp; success.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I support:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Expanding access to high-quality public &amp;amp; charter public school options to meet the diverse needs of all students&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Retaining high-quality teachers by providing increased access to strong curriculum, comprehensive training, support &amp;amp; incentives&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Strengthening Career &amp;amp; Technical Education (CTE) programs to connect students with real-world work opportunities&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Creating safe learning environments for students &amp;amp; teachers

Those cuts--over $700 billion in cuts to Medicaid, and $300 billion in cuts to SNAP (food stamps) are deeply problematic at a time when needs are rising. The aftershocks of this historic dismantling of the social safety net would have an enormously negative ripple effect on people's lives, and on the health and human services sector's stability in Ohio. &lt;p&gt;Advocates have successfully protected social safety net programs before by sharing stories and raising their voices.

Tragically, in some cases, courts have forced children to live with their abusers, leading to devastating consequences, including abuse, trauma, and even death.

Presumes shared parenting = "best interest of the child" which is not true, &lt;b&gt;especially&lt;/b&gt; in abuse cases.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;2.

An acknowledgment of paternity constitutes a legal finding of paternity and confers all rights and duties of a parent on the acknowledged father. This bill would provide that, in any proceeding relating to child custody, visitation, rights, or child support, a valid voluntary acknowledgment of paternity creates certain rebuttable presumptions in favor of joint custody and shared parenting time.

When spending is clear and accessible, it allows citizens to hold decision-makers accountable and ensures that resources go toward meaningful projects.

Cotton farming is a labor-intensive task, and farmers who rely on cotton as their only source of income can face challenges due to debt and weather-related crop failures.&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;In addition, fast fashion companies are known for their pressure on suppliers to keep prices low, which can result in farmers and other workers not making a livable wage. This can make it difficult for farmers to support themselves and their families, leading to financial stress and other mental health issues that can increase the risk of suicide.&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Overall, while there are many complex factors that contribute to farmer suicide, the fast fashion industry's practices and impact on cotton farming can play a significant role in making these issues worse.&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us in ending fast fashion so we can help stop farmer suicide.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Help Us End Farmer Suicide</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2797/somerville-students-need-your-voice</loc><lastmod>2025-10-03T19:32:39.510Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2797/somerville-students-need-your-voice"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fsomerville-students-need-your-voice?alt=media&amp;token=681e9eb1-e762-4aa4-9fd8-65ef4e239dc6</image:loc><image:caption>Nearly 1,100 students in Somerville receive special education services—that’s over 20% of our district.

Wade. It's a reality that for so many of us hurts beyond measure.

But as a privately held, multi-billion dollar industry that CAN influence nearly everything else in our culture, from social trends to political conversations, we DO have the power to set our own policies and standards to protect the human rights—and bodily autonomy—of anyone within our workforces who has the potential to become pregnant. 

As we've seen with other movements toward greater equity and inclusion, what starts in advertising often spreads throughout the rest of society. We have the mic, we have the influence, and we have the mandate.

Let's band together and pledge to protect abortion access for all. 

1) Stand up as a company for reproductive rights by examining the positions and endorsements of your partners. If you have clients who are ethically misaligned, or their employee policies make it hard for women to thrive, make a plan to divest your interests. If the ad networks or other partners you work with (even your insurance providers!) support anti-abortion political candidates or pundits, look into spending your clients’ dollars elsewhere. 

2) Commit to supporting nonprofit organizations (especially local, grassroots groups) that work to provide safe abortion access. There are a variety of different ways to get involved, whether through corporate donations, matching employee gifts, volunteer hours, pro-bono work, or any other paths your team can come up with—so choose what feels right for your team. Give these orgs the mic on your social channels, too, so that they can share their needs and expertise directly. 

3) Urge your staff to get involved in the political process. Figure out ways to educate them on the intersectional issues (racial justice, economic justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, religious freedoms) that are on the ballots in every single state where you operate. We've seen over the past 5+ years that local elections have far more influence than most people believe. Work toward making Election Days—for primaries, runoffs, and general elections–paid days off so that all employees can make their voices heard, and even volunteer if they choose. 

4) If multiple healthcare policies are available to your agency, re-examine your current coverage to ensure it includes all aspects of reproductive and sexual healthcare: preventative visits, contraception, infertility, gender affirmation/reassignment, mental health services—and yes, pregnancy termination. If your policies don't provide coverage in all of these areas, reach out to your benefits representative to see if you can find other options that are more comprehensive. While insurance coverage may not override state law, it can help when healthcare travel is covered. Which brings us to Number 5.

5) Join companies like Levi’s, Bumble, and Citigroup who are offering to cover the cost of travel and abortion care for employees if it becomes illegal where they live. But don't just send a memo—codify it. Build it into your employee handbook. Define concrete steps for how to use this policy, including who to contact within the agency, and resources for finding the necessary services. And make sure to spend ample time figuring out how to ensure privacy and legal protection, too.

--

If enough agencies pledge to begin working on these 5 steps, we can start to change the tides. 

It won't all happen at once, and there will be barriers along the way. 

But when we pull funding from partners who limit our rights...
when we uplift organizations fighting for equality...
when we empower our staff to become active in the political process...
when we ensure all employees have access to complete healthcare...
when we go above and beyond to protect their bodily autonomy...

...we'll inspire others to do the same.

We have the platform, the opportunity, and the responsibility. Let's make it count.

Apparently the Officer needs an anatomy lesson to understand what extremities means.</image:caption><image:title>Justice for Torie</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2429/oppose-senate-bill-726-protect-opioid-treatment-programs</loc><lastmod>2025-03-14T01:39:55.538Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2429/oppose-senate-bill-726-protect-opioid-treatment-programs"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Foppose-senate-bill-726-protect-opioid-treatment-programs?alt=media&amp;token=8ff2970a-a6a9-4f65-b715-9c14e9d2b18f</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Oppose Senate Bill 726 – Protect Opioid Treatment Programs&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The fight against the opioid crisis depends on accessible, effective treatment programs. Senate Bill 726 threatens to impose harmful restrictions on opioid treatment programs, limiting access for those who need it most. If passed, this bill could create unnecessary barriers for individuals seeking life-saving care, putting thousands at risk of relapse, overdose, and even death.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Opioid treatment programs provide essential medical support, counseling, and resources to help people rebuild their lives. Restricting these services will not solve the crisis—it will only worsen it. Instead of punitive measures, we need policies that expand treatment access and support proven, science-based recovery efforts.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We must take a stand against Senate Bill 726 and protect the rights of individuals to receive the care they need. Lawmakers should focus on increasing funding for treatment, improving accessibility, and reducing stigma—not making it harder for people to get help.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Take action today:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Speak up&lt;/b&gt; – Let your voice be heard by opposing this harmful legislation.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support treatment access&lt;/b&gt; – Advocate for policies that prioritize recovery and care.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Protect lives&lt;/b&gt; – Ensure that those battling addiction have the resources they need to heal.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We cannot allow Senate Bill 726 to stand in the way of recovery. Act now to defend opioid treatment programs and safeguard the health and well-being of our communities.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Oppose Senate Bill 726 - Protect Opioid Treatment Programs</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2274/mejores-escuelas-en-seminole-isd-para-la-comunidad</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T18:43:22.288Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2274/mejores-escuelas-en-seminole-isd-para-la-comunidad"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Estimada Junta Escolar de&amp;nbsp;Seminole ISD,&lt;p&gt;Estoy interesado/a en el éxito de nuestro sistema educativo local porque es la base que garantiza que nuestra juventud y comunidad prosperen.

This ruling restores Orange County’s authority over future mitigation land approvals and confirms that incomplete toll road applications impacting Split Oak are subject to County review. Voters were clear: Split Oak Forest and its connected wildlife corridor must be protected.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite this outcome, the proposed toll road continues to threaten hundreds of acres of irreplaceable conservation land on both the Orange and Osceola County sides of Split Oak Forest, including additional GreenPLACE and tax-funded conservation areas that were not fully disclosed in earlier briefings.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We therefore call on the following governing bodies to act:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;To the Central Florida Expressway Authority Board:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do not invoke or pursue eminent domain for the proposed toll road through or adjacent to Split Oak Forest or any connected conservation lands.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Halt actions that would irreversibly damage protected wildlife corridors and publicly funded conservation areas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;To the Orange County Board of County Commissioners:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Uphold the voter-approved charter protections and formally rescind the original 2019 toll road application impacting Split Oak Forest.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Enforce the 1994 interlocal agreement by preventing Osceola County from entering into new agreements with CFX or Tavistock that affect Split Oak or related conservation lands without Orange County approval.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Reject the use of eminent domain for this project and require a truly independent environmental assessment of any proposed mitigation lands, ensuring mitigation is equal in quality, function, and ecological value.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;To the Osceola County Board of County Commissioners:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stop moving forward with the 2025 contract involving the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Tavistock, and the Central Florida Expressway Authority that would enable further harm to conservation lands on the Osceola County side of Split Oak Forest.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Respect the intent of voters, conservation commitments, and the long-term public interest by ending actions that expand the toll road’s footprint into protected lands.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Split Oak Forest is a vital wildlife corridor, a public investment, and a promise made to voters.

The curriculum will feature the histories and contributions of groups that have been long overlooked—including Asian American, Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and disability histories—giving all students the opportunity to build empathy, respect, and pride in our shared diversity. It provides teachers with the resources needed to foster inclusive, welcoming classrooms that prepare young people to lead in a diverse society.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now is the time to act.

These are often women-owned, locally operated businesses that have long provided compassionate, evidence-based care. Without fair access to insurance reimbursement, many of these providers may be forced to close their doors, leaving even more families without the support they need.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Call&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We Demand In-Network Insurance Coverage for IBCLCs in Pennsylvania. &amp;nbsp;Lactation care is preventative care and should be treated as sure. &amp;nbsp;We call on Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna and United Health Care to allow IBCLC's in the state of Pennsylvania the right to be in-network providers so we can provide fully covered lactation care.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Support Breastfeeding Families: Demand In-Network Insurance Coverage for IBCLCs in Pennsylvania&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;Access to skilled lactation care shouldn't be a privilege—it should be a standard part of preventive healthcare. &lt;b&gt;Lactation Care is Preventive Care and should be treated as such.&lt;/b&gt; In Pennsylvania, International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs)—the gold standard in lactation support—are being denied in-network status by major insurers like Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Health Care and Cigna. This creates serious access barriers for breastfeeding families and places an unfair financial burden on many small women-owned IBCLC practices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why This Matters&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Breastfeeding has well-documented health benefits, and expert support can make the difference between breastfeeding success and early weaning. Research shows that:

Families who receive support from IBCLCs are four times more likely to initiate breastfeeding and continue for longer durations.
Access to IBCLC care is associated with a 25% increase in exclusive breastfeeding rates at 6 weeks postpartum.
Breastfed infants have lower risks of infections, obesity, diabetes, and SIDS, while mothers benefit from reduced risks of breast and ovarian cancers, hypertension, and postpartum depression.
Despite these facts, IBCLCs in Pennsylvania are not permitted to contract as in-network providers with several major insurers—including Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Health Care, and Cigna—due to restrictive and outdated credentialing policies. This forces families to pay out-of-pocket for essential care or forgo it altogether, undermining public health goals and deepening health disparities. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lactation Support Is Preventive Care&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Under the Affordable Care Act, &lt;i&gt;breastfeeding support and supplies are required to be covered without cost-sharing as part of preventive services for women&lt;/i&gt;. Yet insurers are failing to meet this mandate when they exclude qualified IBCLCs from their networks. This is not only a disservice to families—it’s a violation of both the intent and letter of federal health policy, further undermining the importance of breastfeeding for infant and maternal health outcomes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Economic Impact on Women&amp;nbsp;Owned Business&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The majority of IBCLC practices are small, women-owned businesses. Denying these professionals access to insurance networks restricts their ability to grow sustainable practices, contributes to burnout, and limits their capacity to serve diverse and rural populations. It also reinforces gender-based economic inequities in healthcare delivery.

We, the undersigned, urge Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and all insurance companies operating in Pennsylvania to recognize IBCLCs as essential healthcare providers and allow them to be credentialed as in-network.

It’s time to remove barriers to care, support maternal and infant health, and invest in equitable access to evidence-based lactation services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Demand In-Network Coverage for IBCLCs in PA</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1837/test-petition1</loc><lastmod>2024-07-01T20:55:49.455Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1837/test-petition1"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Test petition</image:caption><image:title>Test petition</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1290/end-whale-and-dolphin-captivity</loc><lastmod>2024-12-09T14:20:35.685Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1290/end-whale-and-dolphin-captivity"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Help end whale and dolphin captivity by supporting The Strengthening Welfare in Marine Settings (SWIMS)Act that will end the exploitation and mistreatment of orcas, beluga whales, pilot whales, and false killer whales held in captivity for public display.

The SWIMS Act would end the future capture and breeding of these whale species by amending both the US Marine Mammal Protection Act and Animal Welfare Act to prohibit the taking, importation, exportation, and breeding of these whales. The Act provides exemptions for animals being transported to a sanctuary setting or released to the wild.

Scientific studies have provided evidence that these whale species are cognitively, emotionally, and socially complex animals who engage in creative problem solving, intentional communication, show empathy and complex emotions for others, and form lifelong bonds.

Current federal laws allow these whales to be confined in concrete tanks that fail to meet their basic psychological, physical, and social needs.

Despite the overwhelming evidence pointing to their advanced intelligence, these animals continue to be held captive where they are exploited, isolated, and often die prematurely.

Whales are complex beings who suffer in captivity and deserve to live freely in the oceans where they belong.</image:caption><image:title>Ask Members Of Congress To Support The SWIMS Act</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/216/the-world-s-most-gentle-giant-is-under-attack</loc><lastmod>2020-06-23T16:59:06.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://img.youtube.com/vi/K8EVQdIUWBE/hqdefault.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>The World's Most Gentle Giant is Under Attack</video:title><video:description>The Elephant Poaching industry is unlawful and cruel.

Several students are international students and have not been able to visit their homes for some time because of COVID travel restrictions. We would like to petition the University, School, and Department to consider either moving this exam to an earlier date or making it an online exam. 

The late test date and requirement for it to be taken in person will limit the amount of time that students have to spend with their families over the Christmas holidays while also forcing them to pay higher prices for plane tickets closer to Christmas. This is also an issue for US students who will have minimal time to spend with their families given some of the educational trips happening just a few days after Christmas. As you will also notice, there are several students who are not taking the class this quarter but have still signed this petition in solidarity because they believe in the cause we are advocating for. The conviction for several students around this request is such that they are willing to drop the course if it accommodations cannot be made. While this may seem extreme, several of us feel as though we are essentially being asked to choose between spending time with our families and our educational pursuits even though systems exist which would allow for both to be accommodated. We hope to reach a solution that appeases all concerned parties. </image:caption><image:title>Change the date/format of the OIDD 6150 final exam</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1546/america-first</loc><lastmod>2023-02-17T12:24:08.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1546/america-first"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>As of now the United States government continues to send money overseas in the form of international aide.

And an amendment be added to our United States Constitution that any money leaving our country that is not for international trade only be sent out after an approval through a vote in much the same way we would for for a new president.

It was central to the Mendez v. Westminster case (1947), a landmark civil-rights victory that ended the forced segregation of Mexican-American children in California and helped pave the way for Brown v. Board of Education. Westminster should uplift this legacy — not overshadow it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Charlie Kirk had no connection to Westminster or its cultural heritage. His national political activism and divisive right-wing positions conflict with the lived experiences and shared values of our local communities — including Latino, Vietnamese, Indigenous, African and immigrant families who have shaped this city for generations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We believe Westminster should honor leaders who represent unity, justice, and our own community’s contributions, not figures whose views undermine or disrespect those values.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We urge the City Council to:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Reconsider the naming of “Charlie Kirk Way.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Engage the community in future naming decisions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.

A new investigation has revealed that commercial fishing vessels are secretly transporting tiger parts from Malaysia to Vietnam.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These ships are the perfect cover — they move across international waters carrying tons of cargo with almost no inspection. It’s cheap, low-risk, and deadly for one of the world’s most endangered big cats.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once, over 3,000 Malayan tigers roamed the forests.
Now, fewer than 150 remain.
If we don’t act, this secret maritime trade route could wipe them out completely.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What We’re Demanding&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We call on the U.S. Department of State and Congress to use America’s trade power to protect wildlife.

All future U.S. trade agreements with Vietnam and Malaysia must include:

Legally enforceable wildlife protection and anti-trafficking clauses strict monitoring and inspection of fishing vessels automatic sanctions or trade penalties when tiger trafficking is detected.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why the U.S. Can Make a Difference&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The U.S. has already proven it can use trade policy to fight exploitation.
In 2021, America banned seafood imports from Chinese vessels using forced labor — a groundbreaking move that showed maritime sanctions can work.

Now, we need the same leadership to stop wildlife trafficking at sea.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What You Can Do&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Contact your Representatives and Senators and urge them to pressure the State Department to link trade benefits with wildlife protection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Share this campaign to expose the hidden sea route driving tigers to extinction.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Our Goal&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Secure binding clauses in U.S. trade agreements with Vietnam and Malaysia that:

The proposal conflicts with the residential nature of our neighborhood. It is not residential and proposes uses and structures that clash with residential use.

The proposed structures include a storage shed or pole barn which involves heavier construction vehicles coming and going in a residential area. The pole barn is adjacent to a family home east of the structure. There are at least 12 homes within 100 yards of the pole barn location. Installation of a berm, trees or other camouflage will not negate the effect, noise, dust, and other problems that accompany delivery vehicles in and out of the neighborhood. 

Since there are no sidewalks on Club Course Drive, we walk our children, grandchildren, and pets on the street. It is both dangerous and distracting to allow non-residential vehicles to traverse this street. Unlike owner vehicles, our association has no ability to warn or sanction drivers who misuse the street or exceed the speed limit.

The bylaws of the Landings prohibit sheds, storage barns, pole barns or other structures for a good reason. They are not harmonious with a residential neighborhood and depress property values.

The 8+ acres owned by the Conleys was recently rezoned to increase residential development from single family home to duplexes. We believe the parcel, in its entirety, should be harmonious with the residential nature of this street and not commercial or semi-industrial in nature. </image:caption><image:title>Opposing proposed land use at Chandler &amp; Club Course</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1092/save-the-2022-highlander-reunion</loc><lastmod>2022-08-30T07:51:33.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1092/save-the-2022-highlander-reunion"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Greeting camp friends and family!

ASPPB is attempting to force states to adopt a second multiple choice exam, at high costs to applicants, and despite significant evidence that this test will disproportionately impact psychology candidates of color. It&amp;#8217;s clear that this is the wrong move for our country during a time where the need for additional mental health providers, particularly providers of color, has never been clearer.  Some states, including Texas, are asking ASPPB to take a vote of membership about whether or not the second exam should be mandated.&amp;#160;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;What can you do?&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;1. Email or call the board of psychology for your state, province, or territory. Tell them that you do not want the EPPP-2 to be made a requirement. Use the email or phone templates below or write your own letter. If you don't see your board's contact information listed below, check this list:&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wsi9AdQcSbEdJ97oiz-hLDm_poCTO6j9_shPCcmMtp8/edit#gid=0&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;2. Tell your friends, colleagues, and professional network. Many psychologists and trainees are not aware that this change is taking place or might not know the harm that it could cause our field.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;3. Learn more about the concerns:&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#9679; EPPP-2 will create new barriers to practice at the same time that escalating rates of mental health concerns nationwide have intensified pre-existing provider shortages. Adding EPPP-2 is likely to slow down the progress of licensure for candidates when additional psychologists are urgently needed.&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#9679; EPPP-2 will further restrict diversity in the field. Several studies show alarming racial disparities in EPPP-1 pass rates. Existing research on the EPPP- 1 suggests that Black and Latinx psychology candidates fail the exam at two to four times the rate as white candidates, creating unnecessary constriction of the workforce pipeline for psychologists of color. This restriction may also increase jurisdictions&amp;#8217; risk of claims of violations of federal civil rights laws.&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#9679; EPPP-2 will not contribute meaningfully to enhancing protection of the public. There is no evidence that EPPP-2 is an improvement over, or even as good as, existing evaluation methods in protecting the public. Supervisor competency ratings of psychology trainees, based on repeated assessment over thousands of hours of clinical experience, have been shown to be associated with key client outcomes, including attrition and change in the severity of symptoms over the course of treatment. There is no evidence that a multiple-choice test would outperform those supervisory observations. In contrast, evidence suggests that EPPP-2 scores will be more strongly related to other factors, such as test-taking ability and general cognitive factors, than to competence in service delivery.&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#9679; EPPP-2 creates new financial burdens for trainees. The EPPP-2 is expected to nearly double the cost for licensure testing to approximately $1200 per candidate, plus additional costs of test preparation materials, study time, and lost income during the extended timeline to licensure. On top of substantial educational debt ($120,000 median), and the likelihood of disproportionate impact on first-generation and low-income candidates who are already underrepresented in the psychology workforce, increasing the financial burden on psychology licensure candidates for an exam without compelling data that it will improve the quality or safety of the psychology workforce is unacceptable.&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#9679; Prior attempts to address these concerns with ASPPB have not yielded substantive change. The concerns detailed above have been raised in multiple forms, by various groups of stakeholders, over a period of several years. ASPPB responded by inviting a small group of stakeholders and ASPPB representatives to form an advisory group. After over a year of work, the Director of Examination Services released a presentation dismissing and mischaracterizing the group as supporting the validity of the current exam, severely rupturing trust in the advisory process. The Board of ASPPB chose to make Part 2 mandatory in any jurisdiction using Part 1 without taking a vote of the membership. These events do not suggest that ASPPB is willing to address stakeholder concerns or make alterations to their planned exam rollout.&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;If you want to read the articles supporting the points above, you can check them out here:&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;https://docs.google.com/document/d/1miBK7KozqP1WzfSoSGvcAY3W_I3rIr2iHOAU9uxD5I8/edit&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Stop the adoption of the EPPP Part 2</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/874/keep-mr-jorge-at-beresford</loc><lastmod>2022-06-28T19:31:21.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/874/keep-mr-jorge-at-beresford"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>We have just gotten word that our beloved Mr. Jorge is going to be transferred to another school within our District.

 "Inflation can be controlled by a contractionary monetary policy. A contractionary policy aims to reduce the supply of money within an economy by lowering the prices of bonds and rising interest rates. Thus, consumption falls, prices fall and inflation slows down."

This rate hike is due to a perfect storm of factors including the market disruption of Putin’s War in Ukraine, a backlog of new clean energy projects waiting to come online as aging coal plants retire, and overdue upgrades to our power grid to bring more clean energy online and move across the region. Ameren-Illinois plays a critical role in delivering power to meet our day-to-day energy needs and can be doing more to protect customers and our power grid to meet this challenge.

As concerned customers in the Ameren service territory we are asking Ameren Illinois to commit to the following actions to help us meet this challenge: Expand energy assistance to account for a larger number of Ameren customers who need it Expand energy-saving programs like the Peak Time Rewards program and improve efforts to educate customers to increase sign-ups. Expand consumer-friendly payment plans to help people stay connected. Work with the regional grid operator to accelerate the approval and interconnection of clean energy projects waiting to come online. Support immediate electricity market reforms to allow for the approval of critical transmission improvements to make way for more clean, affordable energy in Illinois.

Firstly, Ameren must work with MISO to triple their efforts to reduce the backlog of solar power that is in the queue waiting to connect to the grid. Illinois is already increasing the development of clean energy projects in Central and Southern Illinois communities, with 1,050 MW of wind and solar already under construction. Over 6,000 MW of solar projects are awaiting various points of approval from Ameren and MISO. New solar will lower customer bills and help provide power at peak times when the grid needs it the most. Ameren must also increase efforts to deliver bill assistance. Consumers need to be made aware of the significant amounts of state and federal energy bill assistance dollars that are available through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). In addition, Ameren should expend every effort to get as many customers as possible signed up for their Peak Time Rewards program, which provides bill credits to participants for reducing energy use when the grid needs it the most. This will help to reduce the chance of power outages for all. Lastly, Ameren must expand its energy efficiency offerings and waive fees for programs that help customers find the best ways to save energy. Clean energy resources like solar, wind, and energy efficiency are the best way to improve the resiliency of our electric system and deliver significant consumer benefits and jobs.</image:caption><image:title>Ameren-IL Rate Increase Petition</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/738/stop-the-hate-companies-must-end-anti-lgbtq-legislation-funding</loc><lastmod>2023-07-05T12:11:52.817Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/738/stop-the-hate-companies-must-end-anti-lgbtq-legislation-funding"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2FStop%20the%20Hate%E2%80%94Companies%20Must%20End%20Anti-LGBTQ%2B%20Legislation%20Funding?alt=media&amp;token=f0323761-5ce9-4986-b3dc-0564103b7bc8</image:loc><image:caption>Every June thousands of corporate companies such as AT&amp;amp;T, Walmart, and others have publicly sported rainbow flags on social media while quietly donating hundreds of thousands to millions to support the campaigns of anti-LGBTQIA+ politicians at both the federal and state level.&amp;#160;&lt;p&gt;These companies have made public statements about equality and inclusivity, but they are also some of the biggest funders of politicians pushing forward an anti-LGBTQIA+ agenda including the recent slew of anti-trans legislation.&amp;#10;&amp;#10;It's time for consumers to demand these corporations to STOP bankrolling anti-LGBTQIA+ politicians while &amp;#34;Rainbow Washing&amp;#34; their social media for marketing purposes.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us in putting these fake companies on blast - calling them out for their preformative allyship and contributions to the hundreds of anti-LGBTQIA+ bills in the US.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Below are the companies included in this email campaign and the amount they have donated to anti-LGBTQIA+ politicians at both the federal and state level in 2023.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;$4,213,648 ANTHEM INC&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;$4,083,593 UNITEDHEALTH GROUP&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;$1,283,700 CIGNA CORPORATION&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;$926,429 HUMANA&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;$835,582&amp;#160;&lt;span&gt;CVS PHARMACY INC- AETNA&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;$915,585 WALGREENS&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;$687,211 JOHNSON AND JOHNSON-&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;AVENO, CLEAN&amp;amp; CLEAR, BAND-AID, NEUTROGENA, OGX&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;$426,417 1-800 CONTACTS INC.&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;$202,105 TELADOC, INC. - BETTERHELP&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;$186,650 SMILEDIRECTCLUB&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;$720,578 CITIGROUP&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;$849,982 WELLS FARGO AND COMPANY&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;$1,293,665 INTUIT- CREDIT KARMA, TURBOTAX&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;$700,020 VISA&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;$563,950 BANK OF AMERICA&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;$431,139 CAPITAL ONE&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;$357,143 H&amp;amp;R BLOCK&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;$343,369 JPMORGAN CHASE AND CO.&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;$319,757 MASTERCARD&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;$291,113 PAYPAL VENMO, HONEY&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;$107,766 U.S. BANCORP&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;$3,714,655 AT&amp;amp;T- CRICKET WIRELESS&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;$801,275 T-MOBILE USA INC&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;$617,645 VERIZON- VISIBLE&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;$459,280 DISH NETWORK- BOOST MOBILE&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;$3,730,859 COMCAST CORPORATION- BRAVO, DREAMWORKS, E!

Nobody wants to be told where to go to the bathroom. Taking a dump is a very basic human need, so barring transgender children from going to the correct restroom is unconstitutional.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Adding to bathroom discomfort, non-binary children like myself are tired of going into the wrong bathroom, too, except we have no choice because there are no bathrooms that match our gender. I request bathrooms in each school that are genderless.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another problem with bathrooms is that they are hard to use for many disabled people, and so we also need easier to access sinks and toilets for them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are all human, no matter how many limbs we have or how well our gender matches our body.

While billionaires amass unimaginable wealth, millions struggle to afford basic necessities like housing, food, and healthcare. This stark imbalance is not only unsustainable but also morally indefensible. The "Eat the Rich" movement is a call to action—a metaphorical rallying cry to hold the wealthiest accountable and demand systemic changes that benefit everyone, not just the privileged few.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Our mission is to shed light on the broken systems that allow wealth to consolidate at the top while communities are left behind. We advocate for:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fair Taxation:&lt;/b&gt; Closing loopholes and ensuring billionaires pay their fair share.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wealth Redistribution:&lt;/b&gt; Investing in education, healthcare, and social programs to uplift all members of society.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Corporate Accountability:&lt;/b&gt; Ending exploitative practices that prioritize profits over people.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is not about vilifying success; it’s about addressing unchecked greed and fostering an equitable society where opportunity and dignity are accessible to all.

I'm sending this to you in hopes of gathering your support in light of a recent rule change that was brought to my attention when we registered Chandler for Girls U12 Hockey. I was informed at the time of registration, that despite spending the last two years in the U10 program (approved by the coop two years ago), Chandler is not approved to play at the U12 Level this upcoming season as a result of this new move-up policy, stating that each move up request is now to be handled at the players’ respective board.  In short, this means that the decision to let her play at the U12 level with her friend’s now falls into the hands of the Orono Board, a group of 18 individuals - only a few of which have girls playing in the Warriors program.   

The Coop approved Chandler Sturgis' move up from U8 to U10 two years ago. Since then, she has developed incredible friendships with the now 6th grade class. She has played with this group for three years (including her last year of U8). She plays soccer with them, Summer hockey with them. They do camps together, have sleepovers. Many are surprised to know Chandler is still in 5th grade. Keeping Chandler at the U10 level, on a team in which she doesn't know many, would hurt her. It would hurt her socially and athletically. It would hurt her more socially than it would hurt her athletically.  

This is a small community. You are getting this because you know me as a caring person, someone that wants what is best for the girls. Our family's desire is simply wanting my daughter to play with the group of girls, the age group, she's played with the past three years. My hope is, with your signature, the Board will see this isn’t just a parent trying to do the best thing for his daughter, but that there is incredible support from our friends and community as well.  </image:caption><image:title>Please Help Support the Sturgis Family</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1771/vote-yes-hb2760</loc><lastmod>2024-03-15T19:01:37.293Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1771/vote-yes-hb2760"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2FVote%20YES%20HB2760?alt=media&amp;token=0891451b-4fd0-4b02-b394-7b1cce79f932</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Honorable Members of the Civil Justice Committee:&amp;#160;&lt;p&gt;I am writing to you as a concerned Tennessee constituent, urging you to vote YES on HB2760&amp;#8212;a critical legislative measure that promises greater safety for children who find themselves in the heart of court proceedings concerning domestic violence and child abuse.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Approximately 90% of custody cases never see the interior of a courtroom, research shows that the remaining 10% potentially involve more serious allegations, including abuse. In our state, 1 in 8 children fall victim to child abuse, a disturbing statistic that not only impacts the welfare of these children but also results in an excess of $3 billion per year in associated costs.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;HB2760 is designed to provide essential protection by mandating that courts apply their training in domestic violence and child abuse in relevant proceedings. It ensures a thorough consideration of allegations or historical instances of abuse before making custody decisions and prohibits unconventional, experimental treatments like coercive therapy between a child and an abusive parent or caregiver&amp;#8212;aligning with the recommendations of professional medical and mental health bodies and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges Judicial Guidebooks.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your support for this bill would not only manifest Tennessee's commitment to child safety but would also position you as a pivotal participant in the protection of our state&amp;#8217;s most vulnerable citizens.

We see a need for parent representatives to serve on the school board as well as a need for the board to make a statement expressing their commitment of keeping our charter as it is today.

We respectfully ask that the GHTX Board please agree to the following:

1. That GH parents be added to GHTX Board as promised in the GHTX Charter 

see page 43 "Parents will be members of the governing board of Great Hearts America-Texas. They will be involved in policy-making, determining and implementing the school's mission," at this link:
http://castro.tea.state.tx.us/charter_apps/content/downloads/Applications/015835.pdf   
That one parent of a currently enrolled GHTX brick and mortar scholar from both the San Antonio area and the DFW area be added to the GHTX board. This will result in a minimum of three parents on the Board with representation from the GHTX online community, San Antonio and DFW areas. We ask that the parent Board members please be voted into each Board position by other fellow GHTX parents, and not be placed in a board position by appointment. 

2. That GHTX will keep the current classical reading list/classics to keep lists.

3. That the GHTX Superintendent conduct parent town hall meetings at each campus every other month in order to foster positive relationships, build trust and stay informed of the relevant issues at each campus.

4. That each board member agrees to sign acknowledging adherence to classical liberal arts and promises to advance that ideal- in word and in deed and acknowledges that failure to do so will result in removal from the board. 

5. That the Board will improve communication with parents by the sending advanced notice email reminders for upcoming meetings including:
1 Agenda
2 date
3 time 
4 and location 

to all GHTX families at least 7 business days prior to the scheduled meeting;  and welcomes all parent comments in person and on zoom at all meetings. This is especially important due to the distance between the San Antonio and Irving meeting locations which requires travel on a weekday for parents who wish to attend meetings in person. 

Again, we the parents love Great Hearts and thank you for your service to GHTX. Many current GHTX families left other school districts that have changed significantly in the past few years. We have not liked the changes we saw in other districts and have been thrilled to have found GHTX. We want a place where our scholars can thrive and would like to see our scholars graduate from our GH campuses. This is why we want to have assurance that GH remains the type of school we originally chose for our children. 

We, the GHTX parents signing this petition ask that the Board please respond to these requests within 10 business days of receiving this petition. The submission date will be updated here.

Unfortunately, commercial whaling continues in Iceland, Norway, and Japan where over a thousand whales are killed every year in these countries.

Iceland killed over 140 fin whales this season, and more than 1,500 fin and minke whales have been killed in Iceland since 2003 when the country resumed commercial whaling after a 13-year hiatus.

The Fisheries Minister of Iceland has signaled that she is reconsidering the issuance of quotas for hunting fin and minke whales.  Current quotas expire at the end of 2023, and the Icelandic authorities will be considering whether whaling will continue in 2024 and beyond. 

Iceland has a chance to put whaling in the past and align with global attitudes that seek protection and reverence for these sentient ocean dwellers.

Tell Iceland that whales are worth more alive, than dead, and that it is time to relegate this brutal and archaic practice to the history books. 

Help us end commercial whaling forever.</image:caption><image:title>Stop Commercial Whaling</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2380/protect-the-shingle-creek-basin-and-preserve-our-wetlands</loc><lastmod>2025-06-23T22:25:29.548Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2380/protect-the-shingle-creek-basin-and-preserve-our-wetlands"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fprotect-the-shingle-creek-basin-preserve-our-wetlands?alt=media&amp;token=a294e11d-a491-47d7-a8ea-1d842e75e3e4</image:loc><image:caption>I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed development within the Tuscana Planned Development, which threatens the heart of our wetlands and the headwaters of the Everglades.&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;This ecologically vital area should be among the most protected due to its significance in water filtration, flood mitigation, and wildlife habitat.
The surrounding area is already experiencing substantial flooding, with taxpayer dollars continuously allocated toward mitigation efforts. If this development moves forward, destroying this critical natural buffer will eliminate the only viable location for emergency water pumping.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This will inevitably cause floodwaters to backflow into vulnerable areas, even during minor rain events, exacerbating an already pressing issue for residents.
We urge the Orange County Commissioners and staff to reject any development within the Shingle Creek Basin to prevent irreversible damage to our community and environment. Additionally, we ask Kimley-Horn Developers to rescind their application and recognize the long-term consequences of disrupting this fragile ecosystem.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Protecting this land is not just an environmental issue but a public safety necessity. We respectfully ask that you uphold the integrity of our wetlands and prevent this egregious development from proceeding.
Thank you for your time and consideration.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I look forward to your response and hope you will prioritize the well-being of our community and natural resources.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://protectshinglecreek.com" target="_blank"&gt;Visit protectshinglecreek.com to take action.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Protect the Shingle Creek Basin &amp; Preserve Our Wetlands</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1334/justice-for-christian-hiltonball</loc><lastmod>2022-09-13T12:35:04.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1334/justice-for-christian-hiltonball"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>On September 13 Christian Hiltonball was wrongfully attacked.

Recent legislation has increased borrowing limits, but without real reforms, experts warn that debt could balloon to over $52 trillion by 2035. &lt;bold&gt;Interest payments alone now surpass federal spending on defense and Medicare, costing taxpayers $1 trillion this year.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;underline&gt;Why should you care?&lt;/underline&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;bold&gt;High national debt threatens vital public services and economic growth.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Rising interest costs mean fewer resources for healthcare, education, and innovation.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Future generations will inherit the burden, limiting opportunities and prosperity.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now is the time for action.

Their proposed Inner Harbor Navigation Canal Lock Replacement Project would push the Mississippi River’s deeper waters 12 blocks farther into neighborhoods already devastated by the Corps’ previous failures. It was the Army Corps who built the levees which breached during both Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Betsy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;The project would expose residents to dangerous concentrations of heavy metals, toxic chemicals and increased air pollution for at least fourteen years of construction, likely longer. During the construction period, traffic and evacuation routes would be severely disrupted and cause long, potentially life threatening delays. For at least four years, this project would involve extensive pile driving, risking foundational damage to nearby homes and historic sites.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The only people who stand to benefit from this project would be the Army Corps of Engineers, the barge industry, and a handful of companies who largely manufacture petroleum products. No every-day New Orleanian will financially benefit from this project. But they will pay the costs and be left vulnerable to another major disaster brought on by the Army Corps. Help protect our beloved neighborhoods and communities and tell your representatives to oppose the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal Lock Replacement Project.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title> Protect New Orleans from Another Army Corps Disaster! </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1975/beeboo-content-asap</loc><lastmod>2025-01-11T08:51:46.621Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1975/beeboo-content-asap"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fbeeboo-content-asap?alt=media&amp;token=198824d9-cedc-4a10-a6fb-709f2fdcac44</image:loc><image:caption>Roy needs to give us beeboo content ASAP or else</image:caption><image:title>Beeboo Content ASAP</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2139/justice-for-america</loc><lastmod>2025-02-11T01:09:41.529Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2139/justice-for-america"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>By pardoning the individuals that committed the Treasonous act of storming the Capitol Building and murdering government employees, Trump himself has committed an act of Treason against America, against We The People of America.&lt;p&gt;If you are on the side of Liberty and Justice FOR ALL, sign the petition to have Trump removed from office.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>JUSTICE FOR AMERICA </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1262/say-no-to-sports-complex-on-kycia-farm-need-more-information</loc><lastmod>2022-10-17T15:59:30.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://img.youtube.com/vi//hqdefault.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Say No to Sports Complex on Kycia Farm - NEED MORE INFORMATION</video:title><video:description>The Wethersfield Town Council will vote on a resolution to commit millions of dollars of COVID funding for the town to build a Sports Complex on Kycia Farm.

If passed, this bill would impose harsh penalties on individuals experiencing homelessness, criminalizing their mere existence rather than addressing the root causes of housing insecurity. We must take a stand and demand compassionate, effective solutions that uplift our communities instead of punishing those in need.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Instead of investing in affordable housing, mental health services, and job assistance programs, House Bill 2382 seeks to push vulnerable individuals further into hardship. Laws that penalize homelessness do not solve the crisis—they only make it harder for people to rebuild their lives. We need policies that provide real support, not ones that increase suffering.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We are calling on all advocates for human dignity and justice to speak out against this harmful legislation. Together, we can send a clear message to lawmakers: criminalizing homelessness is not the answer. Our communities deserve policies that promote housing as a human right, not laws that punish people for lacking shelter.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;We urge you to take action today:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Raise awareness&lt;/b&gt; – Share this message with friends, family, and community members.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contact your representatives&lt;/b&gt; – Let them know that you oppose House Bill 2382.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support organizations&lt;/b&gt; – Work with local groups that provide aid and advocate for the unhoused.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We must stand together to protect the most vulnerable among us.

But a reporter with the Baltimore Post-Examiner has stated in writing that the cause of the flooding in New Orleans is a "technical point." 

Here's what the reporter wrote in his recent article: "In 2005, the City of New Orleans took a hard blow from the horrific effects of Hurricane Katrina."

Two different people wrote to the reporter requesting that the reporter issue a correction and state that the flooding was due to construction mistakes, not simply weather. 

The reporter responded to both that the cause of the flooding is "beyond the scope" of his article. 

The survivors of the worst engineering disaster in our nation's history deserve for reporters to describe the flooding as due to engineering construction mistakes, not the wrath of nature.

Please sign this petition to Tim Maier, the founder of the Baltimore Post-Examiner, requesting a correction to the reporter's article.

Wade was overturned but the fight is far from over. It’s up to Congress to protect abortion access across the nation by passing federal legislation to codify abortion. 

The vast majority of Americans (~80%) believe abortion is essential and 1 in 4 women will get an abortion in her lifetime. Let's stand together to tell our Senators to codify abortion access as federal law!

The reversal of Roe means up to 36 million people of reproductive age including women, trans men, and gender-nonconforming people will be left without abortion services. The people who are impacted the most are low income, women of color who will be forced to give birth despite lacking affordable healthcare, maternity leave, childcare and other critical services. Removing abortion services will also force people to turn to dangerous, illegal measures—at the risk of their lives. 

Tell your Senator to codify abortion now!</image:caption><image:title>Urge the Senate to Save Abortion Access</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/640/disneyland-needs-to-go-green</loc><lastmod>2022-04-18T15:50:33.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/640/disneyland-needs-to-go-green"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Disney's Autopia attraction has approximately 280 gasoline powered go-karts that drive around a 0.4 mile track nonstop from 8am to 10pm 7 days a week. Not only does this ride pollute the environment using fossil fuel but it's a breathing hazard for Disney guests who are waiting in line directly above the track itself. Furthermore, this ride is a part of the "Tomorrowland" park at Disneyland which is very hypocritical as gasoline powered cars are not part of the future.

It's time to call on Disney to modernize the Autopia ride by replacing every gasoline powered car to an environmentally friendly EV!</image:caption><image:title>Disneyland Needs to Go Green!</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2946/its-ok-to-be-english</loc><lastmod>2026-04-02T01:39:07.604Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2946/its-ok-to-be-english"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fits-ok-to-be-english?alt=media&amp;token=8b65ebf6-15c8-4db9-ad39-f81c1eab091b</image:loc><image:caption>The campaign "It's OK to be English" aims to empower English individuals by fostering a supportive community that acknowledges their cultural significance as demographics shift in the UK.&amp;nbsp; With a focus on recognition, support, and empowerment, the initiative encourages the dwindling ethnic English population to come together to form networks and celebrate their identity amidst societal changes.</image:caption><image:title>It's OK to be English</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2662/support-inclusive-history-bill-s2547</loc><lastmod>2025-07-07T20:18:01.426Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2662/support-inclusive-history-bill-s2547"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fsupport-inclusive-history-bill-s2547?alt=media&amp;token=0f9eb45c-d7b9-4acf-a664-f62f69b079ff</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Support Inclusive History Bill S2547: A Path to Empowerment and Equity in Education&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;New York stands at a pivotal moment with Bill S2547, which champions the creation of a culturally responsive education curriculum across all schools—including public, charter, and private institutions. This transformative bill mandates the integration of inclusive perspectives in every classroom at every grade level, ensuring that students see themselves and their histories reflected in what they learn. By affirming the value of cultural, linguistic, and racial diversity, S2547 fosters a deeper understanding among students and helps equip them for life in a diverse world.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Research shows that culturally responsive education leads to improved academic outcomes, greater student engagement, and higher graduation rates. S2547 not only sets ambitious curriculum standards but also invests $25 million in a pilot program to support schools as they adopt inclusive practices. Educators will be empowered with the resources needed to connect with students’ real-life experiences, transforming classrooms into spaces of belonging and affirmation for every learner.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Joining the movement for S2547 means advocating for educational equity and the celebration of New York’s vibrant diversity. Together, we can ensure all children have access to an honest, representative history—paving the way for more informed, compassionate, and empowered generations to come.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Support Inclusive History Bill S2547</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2661/co-sponsor-bill-s2547-for-inclusive-history2</loc><lastmod>2025-07-07T20:18:44.515Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2661/co-sponsor-bill-s2547-for-inclusive-history2"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fco-sponsor-bill-s2547-for-inclusive-history?alt=media&amp;token=303a0099-9961-48ab-abd1-6f669c1a546e</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Imagine a New York where every student—regardless of background—sees themselves reflected in the lessons they learn every day. Bill S2547 is a bold step toward that vision by requiring all public, charter, and private schools in New York to adopt culturally responsive education from kindergarten through high school.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Too often, traditional curriculums leave out essential stories and contributions from diverse communities. S2547 changes that by integrating the history, experiences, and voices of all people into the classroom, so every child feels valued and included. The bill empowers teachers to bridge learning with the lived experiences of students, creating richer, more engaging lessons and fostering a climate of mutual respect.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;This initiative doesn’t just benefit students of color—it strengthens our entire state by preparing the next generation to thrive in a diverse society. S2547 also includes funding for a pilot program to ensure schools get the support they need for this transformative work.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;We need your voice to move this bill forward. Let’s build a future where New York’s schools help every child succeed by teaching an inclusive history that makes us all stronger.

A nephew of celebrity pygmy hippopotamus Moo Deng, Kaki is another important ambassador for the plight of the pygmy hippos, an endangered species. Kaki has won the hearts of visitors and online fans alike at Ubon Ratchathani Zoo with his gentle demeanour and lively spirit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;We have recently discovered that Kaki will be transferred to another zoo, with the purpose of breeding for conservation. However, the proposed destination is a private zoo with no accreditation and little oversight when it comes to animal welfare. Therefore we, the undersigned, as concerned citizens, zoo visitors, and animal-welfare supporters from Thailand and around the world, have grave concerns over this proposal as we believe this could create a significant risk to the welfare of our beloved Kaki. We are now asking for your support to oppose the proposed transfer and request that Kaki remain at Ubon Ratchathani Zoo until Hua Hin is accredited OR another accredited ZPO / WAZA facility that meets recognised welfare and conservation standards.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ubon Ratchathani Zoo is recognised by WAZA, indicating they have achieved and must continue to meet international standards for animal welfare.1 They are also bound by the WAZA Code of Ethics and Animal Welfare and the WAZA 2023 Animal Welfare Goal, which require transparent welfare evaluation processes and continuous improvement programmes, whereas the destination Hua Hin Safari &amp;amp; Adventure Park, as a private attraction, has no such obligations. This raises many questions and concerns about Kaki’s future, as well as of any potential offspring he may sire. Moving a young, high-profile animal like Kaki from a safe environment to an unaccredited facility with limited oversight could jeopardise his welfare and run contrary to Thailand’s own legal framework and international commitments.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;We believe these laws and commitments create a duty to ensure that any movement of individual animals must improve or at least maintain their welfare – not expose them to greater risk. While private facilities may have a role in the tourism ecosystem, the fact that they are allowed to run without meeting SEAZA or WAZA guidelines is concerning: we believe that they should also be held to a similarly high standard, both for the welfare of all animals in their care, but also to improve perceptions of zoos by the public. Unless Hua Hin Safari &amp;amp; Adventure Park is able, through an independent audit and welfare assessment, to prove they meet WAZA standards, we believe this might in turn affect Ubon Ratchathani’s standing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Hua Hin Safari &amp;amp; Adventure Park is not a conservation centre but rather an entertainment facility. They provide services that include elephant rides, crocodile, cobra and tiger shows, all of which are for entertainment purposes and not for conservation. Such practices are widely condemned by international welfare organizations, as they entail training practices that affect the well-being of the animals, and stressful interactions between humans and animals. Thailand's commitment to animal welfare and conservation, as well as obligations by accredited member organizations of WAZA and SEAZA to prioritize animal welfare, education, and conservation, would be compromised by moving Kaki to such a facility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;As a young juvenile, Kaki is presently in a very sensitive stage of development. Studies carried out on pygmy hippos in controlled facilities have shown the vulnerability of young animals to disruptions of the normal patterns of their environment, resulting in the build-up of cortisol levels, lowered immunity, and the risk of diseases. Scientific literature also suggests that transport ranks among the top sources of stress for pygmy hippos, often contributing to compromised welfare and occasionally even mortality. Juveniles under the age of 3 are particularly susceptible, therefore transporting him while he exhibits signs of stress could be detrimental to his health and welfare.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Additionally, in the past few months Kaki has been through significant changes in his routine and environment, most notably being separated from his mother Palo, despite still nursing within the same month of this separation. (Even though Kaki may no longer need milk in his diet, this behaviour is thought to be done to comfort, as a means of self-soothing and stress relief.) Since then, Kaki has been showing signs of stress, such as changes in behaviour and reduced engagement within his environment.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Taking into consideration the above points, we strongly feel that the transfer should take place when Kaki is more mature, and when the receiving facility can ensure that the welfare standards are equal to, or better than, those that Kaki is currently receiving. Going ahead with the current situation will not only affect Kaki’s health but will also go against the international best practices for the management of endangered species.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;As Ubon Ratchathani Zoo under ZPOT is part of WAZA, ZPOT has an obligation to its zoos to protect the wellbeing of animals already within their care, and not allow them to be traded without full consideration of the long-term welfare and living conditions of their animals.2 As there is also sufficient land within Ubon Ratchathani Zoo, we believe it to be a better solution to develop the hippopotamus zone to allow for more animals to be raised in a safe and humane environment, until the point it can be assured that any transfers are only done to similarly accredited zoos, conservation parks, or reserves. Therefore, keeping Kaki within Ubon Ratchathani Zoo for now is clearly in his best interest, especially as pygmy hippos are a threatened species that depend on careful long-term management, which Ubon Ratchathani has proven it is capable of.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;We respectfully request the following:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;1.	Immediately suspend any planned transfer of Kaki from Ubon Ratchathani Zoo to Hua Hin Safari &amp;amp; Adventure Park.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.	An independent welfare assessment by qualified veterinarians and animal-welfare specialists (for example via Wild Welfare / SEAZA welfare committee) of conditions at Hua Hin Safari &amp;amp; Adventure Park especially for pygmy hippos, to verify if they meet international standards.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3.	Keep Kaki at Ubon Ratchathani Zoo until an accreditation is achieved, and providing transparency on any future decisions about Kaki to ensure compliance with:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;a.	Thailand’s Cruelty Prevention and Welfare of Animal Act (2014) and Conservation and Protection of Wild Animals Act (2014);&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;b.	WAZA’s Animal Welfare Goal and Code of Ethics; and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;c.	SEAZA’s welfare guidelines and its recent commitments.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;While we acknowledge and appreciate the progress being made within the ZPOT system through partnerships with Wild Welfare and others, we further urge ZPOT to put Kaki’s welfare first as a powerful signal that Thailand is serious about animal welfare, conservation and international standards.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;We are therefore strongly appealing to (1) ZPOT and (2) Ubon Ratchathani Zoo to reconsider this transfer. We also want to bring this matter to the attention of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP), and other partners such as WAZA, SEAZA, Wild Welfare, and Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand. If there are significant financial concerns, we also stand ready to help fundraise in support of keeping Kaki safe!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Notes:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;1.  WAZA requires that institutional members come from accredited regional or national associations, and those associations must have their own accreditation or evaluation processes in place to ensure high standards of animal welfare and other requirements. WAZA itself sets a global benchmark for animal welfare, and its member associations are responsible for implementing and enforcing the necessary evaluations within their own regions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;2. WAZA requirements further state that members must ensure that institutions receiving animals are capable of maintaining the same high standard of husbandry and welfare as required of WAZA members, and all animal transfers should conform to the international standards and laws applying to the particular species.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Disclaimer:&lt;/b&gt; Please note that this petition is an independent effort and NOT being solicited or initiated by anyone affiliated with Ubon Ratchathani Zoo. There is no involvement in or knowledge of this initiative on their part, it is solely driven by concerned citizens who want to see Kaki's welfare prioritised in line with international animal care standards.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Save Kaki!

We believe that the current system, in which special interest groups have the power to sway policy and legislation through lobbying efforts, undermines the core principles of democracy and government accountability.

Whereas:

Lobbying distorts democratic processes: Lobbyists often represent the interests of a small group of wealthy corporations or organizations, not the general public. This results in laws and policies that favor the few over the many, disregarding the needs and rights of ordinary citizens.
Public trust is eroded: The revolving door between government officials and lobbying firms creates an environment where policy decisions are influenced by those with the financial resources to pay for access, rather than by the will of the people.
The interests of corporations often override those of individuals: Lobbyists frequently advocate for policies that benefit large corporations at the expense of workers, consumers, and the environment. This leads to inequality, environmental degradation, and a lack of necessary regulations.
Campaign finance laws are insufficient: While some restrictions exist, they do not effectively prevent lobbyists from wielding disproportionate influence on the political process. The intersection of money and politics remains a significant barrier to achieving fair and just policies.
Therefore, we call for the following actions:

Ban the practice of lobbying in all its forms, including direct lobbying and "revolving door" employment between government officials and lobbying firms.
Institute stronger transparency measures to ensure that government officials' connections to special interest groups are publicly disclosed and easily accessible.
Implement stricter campaign finance reforms to reduce the role of money in politics and limit the ability of wealthy interests to influence legislation.
Support policies that prioritize the interests of everyday citizens over corporations, ensuring that government works for the people, not for special interests.
By signing this petition, we are standing up for a government that is accountable to its citizens, not to lobbyists and special interest groups. Together, we can ensure that our democracy remains a true reflection of the will of the people, not the interests of the few.

Bitcoin mining equipment utilizes an excessive amount of energy, equivalent to some countries' electricity consumption. Consequently, this energy exhaustive process significantly contributes to climate change - an aspect of the Bitcoin industry often overlooked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We strive to enlighten the public, regulators, and Bitcoin users about this urgent environmental issue.

As Qatar’s construction speed rolls to its peak ahead of the 2022 World Cup, so does the death of its migrant workers toiling under fatal temperatures.

The humanitarian crisis has taken an unprecedented course as this issue has been discussed since 2013. Migrant workers live in poorest and the most unhygienic conditions at the "designated labor camps" and are treated like slaves which cannot cannot go unrecognized. 

Amnesty International revealed in their report, "insect infested kitchens, up to ten men sharing living quarters, sewage coming up through toilets, no showers" are some of the few occurrences that remain unhinged. And The recent Guardian Report (March, 2020) reveals that migrant workers continue die in record numbers daily while building these stadiums.

Qatar more than likely paid off FIFA to win the vote for the 2022 World Cup. It is amazing that everyone is essentially turning a blind eye to the atrocities ongoing today to build these stadiums.  We have the power to speak in numbers to tell the World that we will not tolerate these unspeakable actions.

Some of the other reasons why it's important to STOP Qatar's World Cup Shame is enlisted as:

1) Threatened human rights of migrant workers
2) Appalling living conditions

Concerning our current geopolitical situation – being faced with global atomic annihilation – it's now urgent time to correct this abnormal situation once and for all, if our aim is living in a less confrontational, divided, conflict-ridden world for your &amp;amp; mine grandchildren’s children and a decisively more promising future for all of mankind.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;------------------&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thrice Supressed for Over a Century: “Political Ponerology” Offers Scientifically Revealed Origins of Evil in Society, Leading to Pathocracy (Rule of Psychopaths)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The completely missing, muted or at least anemic discussion in academic circles referring to the most important topic of our times (micro: psychopathy; macro: Political Ponerology) had been following me for a long time now as a fascinating blind spot of psychology.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"He who pays the piper, calls the tune." – Probably THE main reason for the forced lack of any funding in this most important psychological field; let alone making this information public for all inquiring minds, be them private/academic researchers, medical professionals, curious private individuals, actual &amp;amp; former victims or the executive &amp;amp; judicial branch of any government alike.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Politicians, judges, attorneys general and the police force must be educated about the existence of somewhat biblically evil entities, being very well-camouflaged by looking exactly like everyday people; except for lacking deeper feelings, consciousness, remorse, empathy and a general mindset of following basic social norms.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"In any society in this world, psychopathic individuals and some of the other deviant types create a ponerogenically active network of common collusions, partially estranged from the community of normal people... Their sense of honor bids them to cheat and revile that ‘other’ human world and its values at every opportunity. (Łobaczewski, 138)&lt;br&gt;(…)&lt;br&gt;Ideological Mask: The group's stated goals are often at variance with its true nature. Colorful literature and humanitarian values often mask its true motivations. Take, for example, the disparity between the CIA's stated goals, such as "Creating special, multidisciplinary centers to address such high-priority issues such as nonproliferation, counterterrorism, counterintelligence, international organized crime and narcotics trafficking, environment, and arms control intelligence", and its widespread use of terrorism, torture, overthrowing democratically elected governments, installing foreign dictators, drug trafficking, arms smuggling, etc.
(…)
When such individuals are treated as normal, more perceptive individuals will leave the group. When the group has become sufficiently pathological, members will either perceive its new direction in moral terms (e.g., “We must kill them all on the principle of justice and democracy”), or as a form of psychological terror. As more healthy people leave the group, taking on more counter-revolutionary positions, individuals with psychological anomalies join, removing their masks of sanity ever more often. Without adequate knowledge, normal individuals who have been ejected from such a group will suffer immensely, cut off from their original ideological reason for joining. Infected with unhealthy emotions and pathological material, they can assume positions opposite to those which they formerly followed.
(…)
In short, the patients have overtaken the asylum.“&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ― Dr. Andrzej M. Łobaczewski („Political Ponerology“)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“Pathocracy is one of those hidden concepts that, once uncovered, suddenly helps to make sense of the world. It explains much of the chaos and suffering which has filled human history, and which still sadly afflicts the world today. For this, we owe Łobaczewski and his book Political Ponerology a massive debt.”&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ― Steve Taylor, PhD, author of “DisConnected” and “The Fall”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“You cannot live a sane life in a mentally ill society. Function collides with dysfunction. Therapy that ignores this cannot have a "successful conclusion".“&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ― Michael Ventura, James Hillman, “We've Had a Hundred Years of Psychotherapy – And the World's Getting Worse”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;„The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always certain of themselves and wiser people are full of doubts.“&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ― Bertrand Russell&lt;br&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Mandatory Psychopathy Tests for Top-Jobs in Public/Private Sector</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2606/for-pink-friday-2-vinylscds-w-full-itinerary</loc><lastmod>2025-05-31T23:42:05.523Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2606/for-pink-friday-2-vinylscds-w-full-itinerary"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Ffor-pink-friday-2-vinylscds-w-full-itinerary?alt=media&amp;token=3c317e73-ab6c-49ae-8b1c-86946e657aab</image:loc><image:caption>This is just a petition, to hopefully get new PF2 vinyls &amp;amp; CDs, with the full album of 22 songs. :)&amp;nbsp;</image:caption><image:title>For Pink Friday 2 Vinyls &amp; CDs w/ FULL Itinerary </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2077/make-america-great-for-once</loc><lastmod>2025-01-23T20:18:50.508Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2077/make-america-great-for-once"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fmake-america-great-for-once?alt=media&amp;token=50602210-c5ab-4369-94bf-fe50adacd4f5</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;span&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;igning the petition to make Steaven Nunez eligible for the presidency is a powerful way to show support for a unique and promising candidate.

I am grateful it was not a child.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;In East Grand Rapids, the necessity for pedestrian safety on residential streets, especially near Eastown, is becoming increasingly crucial. A buffered bike lane/advisory bike lane would likely be the most simple and elegant solution. Not only would it provide a safe space for cyclists, promoting a healthier and environmentally-friendly mode of transport, but it would also narrow the street. Studies have shown that narrower streets contribute significantly to slower vehicle speeds, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents (source: [National Association of City Transportation Officials](https://nacto.org/publication/urban-bikeway-design-guide/bikeway-signals/) ).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;With too many close calls and accidents already, a protected bike lane can transform our streets into safer, more community-oriented spaces for everyone. It ensures that children, cyclists, and pedestrians, along with family pets, have a secure pathway, encouraging more outdoor activities and increasing the quality of life in our neighborhood.

Moreover, evidence from cities with protected bike lanes shows not only a decrease in accidents but also a boost in local economies as businesses benefit from increased foot traffic (source: [PeopleForBikes](https://peopleforbikes.org/our-work/study-shows-protected-bike-lanes-increase-local-business/) ).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is not just about preventing personal trauma or loss, but about proactively creating a safer, more connected East Grand Rapids for everyone. I am calling for city officials and the Department of Transportation and Public Works to prioritize the installation of a protected bike lane on our streets before it is too late and lives are lost.

Please sign the petition below.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Together, we can make Gladstone Drive and East Grand Rapids a model for safety and sustainability.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Pedestrian Safety on Gladstone Drive</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1917/margaritas-for-the-cause</loc><lastmod>2024-12-13T03:17:55.478Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1917/margaritas-for-the-cause"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fmargaritas-for-the-cause?alt=media&amp;token=983e59e6-ea91-4f67-b975-54075157245c</image:loc><image:caption>This is a petition to allocate a margarita machine for "&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;nursing staff use only&lt;/font&gt;" in the downstairs storage area.

Yet, our education system often lacks the tools to fully honor and uplift this diversity. &lt;bold&gt;Bill S2547&lt;/bold&gt; is a transformative step toward integrating a culturally responsive curriculum in every public school across the state.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill calls for the creation of educational standards that reflect and value the lived experiences of all students—regardless of their cultural, linguistic, or racial backgrounds. Through a thoughtfully designed curriculum, students will be empowered to see themselves reflected in what they learn, fostering greater engagement, inclusion, and respect across classrooms. Educators will also be equipped with resources to weave cultural awareness, equity, and understanding into daily instruction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By supporting Bill S2547, we invest in an educational future where diversity is not just acknowledged but celebrated. This legislation paves the way for stronger, more united communities and ensures every child has the opportunity to thrive in an environment that recognizes and values their unique identity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;list&gt;&lt;/list&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;li&gt;Give students the tools they need to succeed in a diverse world&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Support teachers with meaningful, inclusive curriculum resources&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Build a more just and equitable New York for all&lt;/li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Let’s stand together and help make New York’s promise of opportunity and inclusion a reality for every student.

Instead of serving as an instrument of mercy, the presidential pardon has too often become a shield for political allies, donors, and even family members—putting personal interest above justice and the welfare of the nation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The original intent behind granting pardon power was to offer compassionate relief in cases of excessive punishment or wrongful conviction. &lt;bold&gt;Today, this power is virtually unchecked, making it susceptible to serious abuse with no recourse for accountability.&lt;/bold&gt; Modern presidents have repeatedly deployed pardons as a political tool, undermining the rule of law and further dividing an already polarized country. Recent high-profile controversies have made clear that the current system allows one individual to overturn years of legal proceedings for reasons that may have nothing to do with justice or fairness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;We believe the time has come for meaningful reform.&lt;/bold&gt; By removing the pardon power from the presidency, we can protect the integrity of our legal system, ensure accountability for all—including our leaders—and prevent the misuse of this extraordinary authority. &lt;underline&gt;Stand with us and help end an era where justice can be bought, bartered, or bent to political will. Demand change for a government that truly serves the people.&lt;/underline&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Remove the pardon power from the President</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1766/no-to-satanic-clubs-in-our-schools-in-florida</loc><lastmod>2024-03-05T13:18:13.047Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://img.youtube.com/vi/Q3MslrQX13M/hqdefault.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>No! to Satanic clubs in our schools in Florida!</video:title><video:description>Schools are places to develop children in their physical and intellectual growth, to teach knowledge and encourage vocation and professionalism.

I haven’t been able to see or talk to my 12-year-old twin boys, Hadrian and Maddox, since 8/20/25. Rebecca Neill, my ex-wife with mental illness, hid them in the Resource and Crisis Center of Galveston County (RCCGC) under false pretenses and has kept them holed up, not even attending a single day of school. Rebecca and I have 50/50 custody, but she has turned her one week of possession into three straight months of parental abduction so far. 

While staying at the RCCGC with their mother, my boys have been harmed. One was knocked unconscious at the Center and was taken to the ER by ambulance, and then both of them were taken to the ER by ambulance when their mother totaled her car with them in it on the freeway. Both of my boys have been suicidal during this time, according to their therapist (who their mother will only let them see virtually). Their therapist told me the Center has had to remove knives from reach due to my son’s thoughts about harming himself with them.

Even though the claims against me by their mother were investigated and found to be false, Rebecca has been allowed to stay at the RCCGC. CPS and law enforcement will not do anything to reunite me with my boys, as they say I just need to take their mother to court. However, any attempts to serve her to come to court have been blocked by the RCCGC's protection for months. I have unsuccessfully tried to serve Rebecca 15 times during this abduction. 

Yesterday, Judge Angela Lancelin of the 245th Family Court in Houston said that the RCCGC had unlawfully restrained my children and would be ordered to return them to me because their mother is erratic and the children are in imminent danger with her. The RCCGC director then said she doesn't have any knowledge of where my boys are now.

I need help finding my boys and getting them back to me. I fear every day for the lives of my children and firmly believe that with Rebecca's mental illness, she might kill my boys and herself if she feels like there's no other way out of this nightmare she's created.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Rowan Act</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2570/stop-voting-for-donald-trump</loc><lastmod>2025-05-11T17:38:53.194Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2570/stop-voting-for-donald-trump"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>We need to boycott Donald Trump due to him wanting to take away public housing and section 8voucher programs from those in need.

This letter aims to spread awareness of and opposition to the battery energy storage facility proposed at 100 Discovery Way, Acton, MA 01720. This project will destroy a large area of established woods and poses unreasonable dangers to the citizens and wildlife of Acton. Many actual and potential negative consequences are associated with the project that demand a stop to it. Below is an outline of just a few of the major points of concern for this project:

•	Unnecessary elimination of trees and established woods.
•	Destruction of animal habitats that belong to a significant number of endangered species.
•	Likely harm to nearby wetlands.
•	High risk of battery explosion and fire. This would emit toxic gases and chemicals, causing irreparable harm. Contamination would compound Acton’s existing water issues. Cleanup would be both costly and inadequate.
•	Available alternative lots for a battery energy storage facility that would not destroy established woods nor negatively impact animal habitats and wetlands.

All citizens of Acton and beyond are encouraged to attend the October 3, 2022, 7:10 PM meeting at 472 Main Street, Acton, MA 01720 in the Francis
Faulkner Hearing Room 204 (the meeting can also be accessed virtually at actonma.gov/meeting/bos) to voice their concerns. If you are in opposition to this project, please sign below as an acknowledgment of your opposition and circulate this letter to the best of your ability.

Sincerely,

A concerned resident of Acton.

While equal custody may sound reasonable and fair on the surface, extensive evidence-based research shows that this presumption is poor public policy. It increases the risks of harm to children, strains the judicial system, and is associated with higher rates of Adverse Childhood Experiences, and even fatalities including homicide and suicide.&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;Even when domestic violence is recognized by the court, the level of danger and lethality is often not understood or assessed, limiting the court’s ability to make safe parenting plans. Creating a presumption of equal parenting time would push vulnerable children into unsafe arrangements while offering no benefit to cooperative families who already choose 50/50 custody voluntarily.

In fact, many organizations that highlight smoke-related health issues associated with smoking WARN that secondhand smoke is more harmful than firsthand smoke. The website, Tobacco Stops With Me, states, "Secondhand smoke is a mixture of two forms of smoke that come from burning tobacco: side-stream smoke (the smoke from the lighted end of a cigarette) and mainstream smoke (the smoke inhaled and exhaled by a smoker."Side-stream smoke is more toxic than mainstream smoke, as it has much higher concentrations of cancer-causing substances. There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke. The dangers of secondhand smoke are immense. It is classified as a Class A carcinogen, as it has been proven to cause cancer in people. Secondhand smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals — 250 are known to be harmful, and at least 70 cause cancer. In fact, secondhand smoke kills nearly 50,000 nonsmokers each year."

According to the American Cancer Society, not only does TOBACCO CAUSE THE DEADLIEST OF ALL CANCERS, BUT IT IS THE SINGLE GREATEST CAUSE OF PRVENTABLE DISEASE AND DEATH. Tobacco use is essentially a slow-motion suicide. There is no distinction between poisonous gases, COVID, and tobacco; they all cause serious life-threatening conditions and, in some cases, a slow, painful death. Thus, cigarette smoke in non-smoking buildings should be treated as seriously as COVID, poisonous gas, or other potentially fatal conditions. More information about the effects of second- and third-hand smoke can be found by clicking the link(s) at the bottom of this petition.

Did you know that in the state of RI you could potentially sue someone if you get a smoke-related illness due to their smoking? Why wait to get a possible life-threatening illness to sue someone when smoking can be stopped in your apartment building now before you get sick?
Now is the time to take action to safeguard your health! By signing this petition, you are demonstrating to RI lawmakers that you want existing laws amended and/or new laws enacted for corporations that do not adhere to the Federal Government's Non-Smoking Policy, which went into effect on July 31, 2018, to protect tenants and their visitors from second and third-hand smoke.

Please sign and/or share this petition, verbally, on social media or other ways, if you are affected by cigarette smoke in your building, know someone who is, or simply want to support this cause. The petition will then be delivered to Rhode Island lawmakers. Please join me in making sure that all RI tenants live in a safe and healthy environment that is free of toxic and deadly smoke.

I propose and recommend the following in order to keep the areas all renters occupy safe, healthy, and smoke-free:

1) To ensure management is adhering to the federal rules to keep their non-smoking properties smoke-free and keep their tenants in a safe and healthy environment as promised in their lease, require at least one, or more, of the following to conduct unannounced inspections of apartment buildings, without going into individual apartments: the Health Department, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), or the Code Department of the town in which the tenant lives.

2) After a tenant has complained in writing to the management of their building about a smoking issue and nothing is done to stop it within a reasonable amount of time, one or more of the aforementioned agencies have the right to inspect the building(s), without entering individual apartments, at any time to look for any violations of the federal government's non-smoking policy.

3) Have corporate penalties imposed on corporations in the form of fines that rise with repeated infractions if smoke is still present on the premises after three inspections.

The following are other things that can be done, but not limited to, towards holding corporations accountable for keeping their smoke-free buildings actually smoke-free, and keeping all tenants in a safe and healthy environment as promised in a tenant's lease.

A. Make it mandatory for corporations and/or management to purchase high-quality equipment to detect smoke in common areas and in apartments.

B) If there is an issue with tenants smoking in the common area(s) so that their apartment does not smell like smoke, require cameras to be installed in all common areas to catch offenders.

C) Require all non-smoking buildings to have non-smoking signs put up in every entryway and on every floor, both in the front as well as the back of the non-smoking buildings, or be fined.

D) Establish designated smoking area(s) and/or mandate that smokers stay 60 feet, or more, away from non-smoking buildings.

E) Allow corporations and management the legal freedom to evict tenants who put their neighbors at substantial risk of serious life-threatening illnesses by continuing to smoke on the non-smoking premises.

F) Implement additional measures that corporations can use to guarantee that their tenants are residing in a safe and healthy environment as stated and promised in their lease agreement.

To put it briefly, by signing this petition, you are pleading with lawmakers to create new or modify current legislation to make apartment living safer and healthier places to live throughout RI. And for corporations and management to exercise the same caution that they would exercise if their non-smoking buildings were filled with toxic gases. Smoking should not be treated less severely just because it takes tobacco years to harm or even kill us, as opposed to poisonous gases or COVID, which could do so much sooner.

May good health be yours.

Thank you for reading, sharing and especially signing!

Allegations and unanswered questions continue to surface, raising concerns about his influence, connections, and the extent of his reach. It is imperative that we demand transparency and a thorough inquiry into his nexus.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Swami Ashutosh Ananda has amassed a significant following, wielding power over individuals and communities. However, reports suggest that his practices and associations may not align with the ethical and spiritual values they claim to uphold. &lt;b&gt;Who is truly benefiting from his influence?&lt;/b&gt; What deeper connections exist that remain hidden from public scrutiny?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;By calling for an immediate and unbiased investigation, we aim to uncover the truth and ensure that no individual or institution operates beyond accountability. &lt;u&gt;Spirituality should inspire enlightenment, not secrecy and manipulation.&lt;/u&gt; If there are legitimate concerns surrounding his activities, they must be addressed openly and fairly.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We stand for justice, transparency, and the well-being of those who may be affected. This is not about targeting an individual but about ensuring that no one is above scrutiny when public trust is at stake. An inquiry will either dispel doubts or reveal necessary truths—both outcomes serve the greater good.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Let us unite in demanding the truth. &lt;b&gt;The time for clarity is now.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Enquire Tantric Guru Swami Ashutosh Ananda's Nexus Immediately</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1963/tell-fcps-superintendent-to-reopen-our-schools</loc><lastmod>2025-01-08T23:52:03.837Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1963/tell-fcps-superintendent-to-reopen-our-schools"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Ftell-fcps-superintendent-to-reopen-our-schools?alt=media&amp;token=2f364b2f-27e5-400e-b2ad-0ff5cd8f4747</image:loc><image:caption>We need our schools to reopen immediately.

It provides very powerful and credible insight on the draft Beach Management Plan for the Trustees managed properties on Martha's Vineyard. The plan was made available to the public on June 29th, 2022.

The petition will be used to provide  community feedback to Town, State, and County officials as well as to the leadership of the Trustees of the Reservations.

Thank you 
MV Beachgoers Access Group

"Dear President Judge, 
I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome you to one of the premier land conservation organizations in the world! 
.....
However, perhaps some of the most discouraging parts of this plan is its ignorance of historical use of trails for recreation, shellfishing, fin fishing and quiet rejuvenation in nature. The world envisioned in this draft beach management plan is not the kind of place which Charles Eliot ever envisioned. Even with sea level rise we can find the balance between public use and enjoyment and protectin​g the places that we love. That spirit is missing in this plan. 
 
I would be happy to speak with you further about this draft plan but, in my opinion, you should withdraw the plan and re-draft it with input from beach managers, our beach partner-owners as well as the local community BEFORE you present a completed draft plan. There is no “fixing” this draft plan. It needs a complete re-write with a balanced point of view which provides more than lip service to our mission and truly embraces our mission of public use and enjoyment as well as protection of the properties which we all love and seek to protect. 

Chris Kennedy"

We have an entire residential neighborhood all zoned as R-1 (single family residence). The building at the corner of Odell and Black is the only non-conforming building in our neighborhood (as described prior) that is zoned commercial.
We border a commercial district to the north and the property at Odell and Black fits with that zoning category. We do not border any R-2 or R-3 zones without separation by natural boundaries (i.e. creeks/pastures/agricultural land). Our home owners purchased their property in good faith that the only residential use of the neighborhood is for single family homes. It would be in seen in poor faith by the city that any portions of our neighborhood are re-zoned to R-2 or R-3.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Marshall Neighbors</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2202/stronger-schools-for-our-buena-vista-community</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T01:11:12.231Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2202/stronger-schools-for-our-buena-vista-community"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Buena Vista Board,&lt;p&gt;I’m deeply invested in our local education system’s success - it’s the foundation that ensures our youth &amp;amp; community thrive.

We have the power to speak for those who are silenced by force.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Companies included in the email:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Domino's Pizza, Papa Johns - Donating meals to Israeli soldiers or supporting apartheid Israel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Starbucks - Suing the Starbucks workers union for speaking up about Palestine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amazon and Google - Signed billion dollar contracts to provide cloud technology to Israel government and militar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Disney - Donating to Israel and promoting pro-Israel Marvel superhero movie.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Airbnb - Hosting rentals in illegal settlements built on stolen land.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strike&gt;PUMA - Sponsoring the Israel Football Association which includes teams in illegal settlements. &lt;/strike&gt;(Success! PUMA is pulling their sponsorship.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;From the organizer:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm just one person, but I'm outraged by the violence. My goal with organizing this campaign is to mobilize others who are outraged to flood the inboxes of these companies to pressure them to issue a statement against the bombing of Gazans and do what they can to stop the genocide. This is an organized, peaceful effort to use our voices to make a difference!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Join the movement!&amp;#160;We owe it to the innocent civilians of Gaza.&amp;#160;&lt;span&gt;Let's channel our collective voices - please take action by emailing the companies below and SHARING this campaign!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Call out companies that support genocide in Gaza!</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2279/mejores-escuelas-en-terrell-county-isd-para-la-comunidad</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T18:58:34.524Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2279/mejores-escuelas-en-terrell-county-isd-para-la-comunidad"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Estimado Superintendente,&lt;p&gt;Estoy interesado/a en el éxito de nuestro sistema educativo local porque es la base que garantiza que nuestra juventud y comunidad prosperen.

But the current rules governing campaign ad disclosure are outdated and right now, online campaign ads are not required to disclose the source or funders of the ads. This is a huge, dangerous loophole that needs to be fixed. Democrats and Republicans in both the House and Senate have introduced the Honest Ads Act, which would require tech companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google to disclose who is running online political ads on their platforms.

New York’s Senate Bill S2547 is a step toward making this vision a reality. This vital legislation would establish a &lt;underline&gt;culturally responsive education curriculum and standards&lt;/underline&gt; across all school districts, charter schools, and private schools, ensuring that students of every background can learn in an environment that honors their experiences and contributions.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;S2547 requires schools to integrate inclusive curriculum at all grade levels, teaching about the rich diversity that shapes our communities and our country. By doing so, it fosters empathy, reduces bias, and opens doors to deeper understanding among students. This bill doesn’t just enrich history classes—it helps build a brighter, more equitable society for everyone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;underline&gt;What S2547 Would Do&lt;/underline&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Establish a pilot program for culturally responsive education to set best practices.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Dedicate $25 million towards implementing inclusive history education statewide.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Empower educators to address the needs of diverse learners in every classroom.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Join us in urging lawmakers to support S2547. Let’s ensure every child’s story is told and every voice is valued.

His unwavering commitment to speaking truth to power and championing the cause of marginalized communities has made him a symbol of hope and resilience. However, his detention represents a troubling suppression of fundamental freedoms, including the right to express dissent and advocate for change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mazi Simon Ekpa has consistently sought peaceful and democratic solutions to the challenges facing communities across the globe. His voice has inspired countless individuals to stand up for their rights and demand accountability from leaders.

Detaining individuals for their advocacy erodes the very foundation of these principles.

These decisions, while claimed to be necessary for business sustainability, have left many in the community feeling unheard and sidelined as Recroom narrows support to only its top creators, abandoning the wider vision of empowering all players to create and participate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;We call for a &lt;underline&gt;boycott&lt;/underline&gt; to demand that Recroom truly listens—and responds—to the voices of its broader community.&lt;/bold&gt; The heart of Recroom has always been its diverse player base: from casual explorers to passionate world-builders and event organizers. Yet, current plans diminish opportunities for everyday creators, reduce support for new feature development, and place profitability above the inclusive experiences that made Recroom thrive. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;This movement stands for:&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Restoring open dialogue&lt;/bold&gt; between developers and players, ensuring all voices are valued and considered in key decisions.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Reinvesting in community tools and creative support&lt;/bold&gt; for every level of creator—not only the top percentage.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Committing to quality and transparency&lt;/bold&gt; in future changes, so updates prioritize community needs, not just financial survival.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let’s unite as a community and urge Recroom to return to its roots: a platform where everyone’s creativity and feedback shape the future.

While women may have more to cover than men, that should not be a reason to punish them and allow their male counterparts to wear short shorts and 'wife beaters' during the school day. Under the Dress and Grooming section of the student handbook, section a prohibits, "tank tops considered underwear." Given the male's ability to wear a wife beater without repercussions, we believe this dress code is unfair, especially towards female students. </image:caption><image:title>Change Warren Hills Dress Code Policy </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2913/sb1666</loc><lastmod>2026-02-04T20:22:38.656Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2913/sb1666"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;SB1666 risks harming protective parents who act in good faith to keep children safe during emergencies or unclear custody situations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Family court realities include ambiguous orders, conflicting paperwork, and urgent safety concerns that require immediate decisions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SB1666 focuses on “intent” and “no legal right” but fails to include clear good-faith or safety exceptions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unlike HB2967, which clarifies good-faith protections within existing law, SB1666 creates a parallel statute that adds confusion and risk of misuse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Without amendments, SB1666 could be used against parents protecting children, not just against bad-faith interference.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lawmakers should pause, amend, or align SB1666 with HB2967 to ensure children’s safety is not penalized.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>SB1666</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2216/stronger-schools-for-our-klondike-isd-community</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T04:05:00.886Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2216/stronger-schools-for-our-klondike-isd-community"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Klondike ISD Superintendent,&lt;p&gt;I’m deeply invested in our local education system’s success - it’s the foundation that ensures our youth &amp;amp; community thrive.

Americans sacrificed privacy rights for national security, trusting the government to use its powers wisely. Today, a different kind of terror is rampant: CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE MATERIAL (&amp;#120382;&amp;#120398;&amp;#120380;&amp;#120392;). Innocent children suffer torture, rape, and degradation, exploited by predators who sell their videos and force them into sex slavery. This important bill will engage the tech industry to eradicate online child abuse and rape. Currently, there is over 99,000 ip addresses hosting child exploitation materials. There isn't enough law enforcement in the world to keep up.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The EARN IT Act: &lt;b&gt;E&lt;/b&gt;liminating &lt;b&gt;A&lt;/b&gt;busive and &lt;b&gt;R&lt;/b&gt;ampant&lt;b&gt; N&lt;/b&gt;eglect of &lt;b&gt;I&lt;/b&gt;nteractive &lt;b&gt;T&lt;/b&gt;echnologies&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;EARN IT Act&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is urgently needed because the volume of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on the internet has reached RECORD levels. In 2022, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received over &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;32 million reports of CSAM&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, a 28% increase from 2020. The United States is the biggest consumer of child exploitation material and hosts the most websites that contain child sexual abuse. We simply do not and never will have enough law enforcement to combat this issue. The pedophiles are running rampant online. The average victim's age is just &amp;#120813;&amp;#120813; &amp;#120326;&amp;#120306;&amp;#120302;&amp;#120319;&amp;#120320; &amp;#120316;&amp;#120313;&amp;#120305;, some as young as &amp;#120815; &amp;#120314;&amp;#120316;&amp;#120315;&amp;#120321;&amp;#120309;&amp;#120320;.

The hearing featured five panelists who all expressed their support for the EARN IT Act and other measures to combat OSEC and CSAM. The hearing was a result of the public attention and pressure generated by the Sound of Freedom. The EARN IT Act has been stuck in Congress since 2020, despite having bipartisan support and endorsement from OVER 260 organizations and experts. The time to change that is NOW. &amp;#128680;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How many more of these little angels should be robbed of their childhood? How much longer do we let Big Tech stay complicit without consequence? &amp;#128546; We cannot afford to wait any longer. Join us in supporting the EARN IT Act today. &amp;#128588;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The EARN IT Act is a bipartisan bill that would create a commission to recommend best practices for online platforms to prevent and combat online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC) and child sexual abuse material (CSAM). It would also remove blanket immunity from civil and criminal liability for Big Tech under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. &amp;#128588;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;Imagine how many children could be saved, especially with the emergence of AI.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The EARN IT Act is not about breaking encryption or violating user privacy. It is a newer form of the Patriot Act of 2001 aimed at another form of terrorism.&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;It is about creating accountability for each tech company and having checks and systems in place like every other industry has. It is also about giving consumers the ability to pursue litigation if they remain complicit in the harms they enable and facilitate on their platforms. It is about giving victims a chance to seek justice and healing. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;It is about creating a safer online environment for children and everyone. &amp;#128175;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;https://www.instagram.com/sound_of_freedom1/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;https://linktr.ee/protectingsoundoffreedom&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>EARN IT Act &amp; Big Tech: End Child Sexual Exploitation</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2289/stronger-schools-for-our-dexter-community</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T19:31:38.684Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2289/stronger-schools-for-our-dexter-community"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Dexter Consolidated School Board,&lt;p&gt;I’m deeply invested in our local education system’s success - it’s the foundation that ensures our youth and community thrive.

WHEREAS, as Mayor, Indya Kincannon has committed cruel and violent acts against the houseless community including destruction of homes, destruction of personal property, and jailing of persons for existing while homeless; and

WHEREAS, Mayor Kincannon repeatedly references her membership in TVUUC, including referring to sermons during City Council Meetings to admonish council members, and uses her membership as an indicator of her moral standing; and

WHEREAS, the Unitarian Universalist Association proclaims that congregations affirm and promote seven Principles, and holds those principles as strong values and moral guides;

NOW, THEREFORE, WE REQUEST OF THE TENNESSEE VALLEY UNIVERSALIST UNITARIAN CHURCH TO COUNSEL YOUR CONGREGATION MEMBER INDYA KINCANNON TO FOLLOW THE PRINCIPLES WHICH THE CONGREGATION CLAIMS TO AFFIRM AND PROMOTE:

PRINCIPLE 1: The inherent worth and dignity of every person. By sending city work crews to repeatedly destroy the possessions of the homeless and displace them from their shelter, Mayor Kincannon refuses to treat the homeless as her equal neighbors in humanity.
 
PRINCIPLE 2: Justice, equity and compassion in human relations. The Supreme Court of the United States ruled in Martin v Boise that displacing street campers is a violation of the Eighth Amendment’s Prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment unless alternative shelter is provided. 

PRINCIPLE 3: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations. The only non-religiously discriminatory shelter in Knoxville is the Foyer, and it is always full.

PRINCIPLE 4: A free and responsible search for truth and meaning. Mayor Kincannon continues to claim that shelters that aren’t full indicate adequate shelter, yet we have massive camps of folks banned from or with grievances against these local shelters. Her administration uses a deceptive definition of “low-income housing” that allows market rate rentals to qualify for city subsidies.

PRINCIPLE 6: The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all. Mayor Kincannon’s campaign against the homeless is a war waged by City owned heavy equipment and armed police who threaten and intimidate our homeless neighbors. 

PRINCIPLE 7: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. The environmental devastation of this war against the homeless flows into our creeks and spreads litter across our lands. Homeless camps are frequently surrounded by overflowing trash bins and dumpsters that the city refuses to serve and no provisions have been made for sanitary toilets. This is a choice made by our Mayor to NOT protect the delicate ecosystem of our city.

PRINCIPLE 5: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large. We urge the congregation to take advantage of all parts of the democratic process, not just voting, but also the right to redress our grievances and to advocate for a better future. We believe that you, as fellow congregation members, can reach Mayor Kincannon with these pleas for justice and equity in a way that the homeless community and their advocates have not been able to.

We request that both congregation members and leadership speak personally with Indya about these issues and encourage her to change her policies. 

We encourage leadership to include lessons directly about serving the poor and homeless. 

We demand your congregation stand by the principles it claims to affirm and to call Indya Kincannon to account on these issues in our community.

Criminalizes humanitarian aid and everyday help&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The definition of “human smuggling” is so broad it can criminalize:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Church volunteers driving migrants to shelters&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Neighbors giving rides or housing&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Domestic violence shelters, food banks, or nonprofit workers&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Employers offering temporary housing&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Community members helping migrants reach medical care&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This turns compassion into a felony.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Redefines immigration as violent crime&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Transporting or harboring an undocumented adult becomes a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison, even without force, coercion, fraud, or exploitation.
This is not trafficking. It is immigration enforcement by another name.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;3. Creates mass incarceration and extreme sentencing&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill imposes:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mandatory prison sentences&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;No-parole provisions&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Asset forfeiture&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Long determinate sentences (up to 50 years)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These penalties are wildly disproportionate and will overwhelm courts, jails, and families.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;4. Asset forfeiture invites abuse&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vehicles, homes, and property can be seized if used to “facilitate” smuggling.
This creates financial incentives for over-policing and wrongful seizures.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;5. Undermines real trafficking investigations&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By flooding law enforcement with immigration-related cases, the bill diverts resources away from actual trafficking, coercion, and sexual exploitation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It weakens — not strengthens — protections for trafficking victims.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;6. Harms victims and witnesses&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Undocumented victims may avoid:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Reporting abuse&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Seeking medical care&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cooperating with police&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Out of fear that helpers or family members will be prosecuted.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;7. Federal overreach into immigration law
Immigration is a federal matter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill risks constitutional challenges, legal chaos, and costly litigation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Bottom Line&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Does not meaningfully improve anti-trafficking enforcement&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Criminalizes humanitarian assistance&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Expands mass incarceration&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Invites asset-forfeiture abuse&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Scares victims away from help&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Duplicates and conflicts with federal law
It should be rejected or stripped of all “human smuggling” provisions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Oppose House Bill 4433</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2354/mejores-escuelas-en-hagerman-para-mi-hijoa</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T22:58:39.754Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2354/mejores-escuelas-en-hagerman-para-mi-hijoa"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Estimado miembro de la Junta Escolar de Hagerman,&lt;p&gt;Como padre y miembro de la comunidad, quiero asegurarme de que todos los estudiantes tengan acceso a una educación de alta calidad que los prepare para el futuro con las habilidades que necesitan para obtener excelentes empleos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yo apoyo:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Garantizar que nuestras escuelas implementen programas de lectura estructurados para mejorar la lectura&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Ampliar el acceso a la educación profesional y técnica para que los estudiantes se gradúen preparados para trabajos de alta demanda&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Atraer y retener educadores de alta calidad, fortaleciendo la capacitación y el apoyo&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Invertir en programas de educación infantil&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;El futuro de nuestros niños depende de buenas escuelas.

The Ithorian formerly known as Hammerhead has been absent from the line. Where is he? Why has this iconic background character been forgotten? And for that matter, why hasn't others of his species been made like Roron Corobb or Mak Shais? 

This must end. We need Ithorians in the Black Series. "Hammerhead" was one of the most beloved figures from the Kenner line (both the vintage 70s line and the POTFII line). Bring.

This bill would eliminate access to a proven, evidence-based treatment that has helped countless individuals regain stability, rebuild their lives, and rejoin their communities. We must act now to stop this harmful legislation.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Methadone has been used for decades as a safe and effective treatment for opioid addiction. It reduces withdrawal symptoms, decreases cravings, and lowers the risk of overdose. Removing access to this medication would force thousands of individuals into dangerous and desperate situations, increasing the likelihood of relapse, overdose, and preventable deaths.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Outlawing methadone will not solve the opioid crisis—it will only make it worse. By criminalizing a medication that is endorsed by leading health organizations, Senate Bill 204 ignores science and punishes those seeking recovery. We stand against policies that undermine public health and strip away essential resources for those in need.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Take action today!&lt;/b&gt; Speak out against Senate Bill 204 and demand that lawmakers protect access to life-saving treatment. Every voice matters in this fight to ensure that people struggling with addiction receive the care and support they need, not more barriers. Together, we can defend compassionate, evidence-based healthcare and stop this dangerous bill from becoming law.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Oppose Senate Bill 204</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2782/have-a-affair-get-punched-in-the-face</loc><lastmod>2025-09-22T19:52:09.160Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2782/have-a-affair-get-punched-in-the-face"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;Everyone should have the right to punch the person who slept with their spouse — one solid strike, no legal consequences. If someone has the nerve to sleep with a married person, they should be prepared to face the fallout. Put it into law: one sanctioned punch, handled like a brief hearing with a medic on site. Mess with someone’s relationship? Be ready to take a hit — and let the law make it clear no one will be prosecuted.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Infidelity can cause deep pain and long-lasting psychological harm for people, families, and communities. In today's fast-paced world, betrayal of trust devastates relationships, shatters mental health, and can even lead to cycles of violence. Too often, those who break the bonds of commitment face little accountability, leaving partners to bear the emotional and social consequences alone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Taking a stand against affairs means supporting respect, honesty, and responsibility in all relationships. When infidelity is normalized or excused, it sends a message that loyalty and empathy are less valued than personal gratification. This not only erodes personal connections but also weakens the social fabric that holds communities together. By advocating for stronger ethical standards, we call for direct consequences for those who willingly hurt others through betrayal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We urge everyone to join this movement to underscore the importance of integrity in personal relationships. By speaking up, we can make it clear that cheating is not just a private matter—it has real emotional and social costs. Our communities are stronger when we foster environments of mutual respect and trust. Take action today and help build a society where honesty and fidelity matter.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Have a affair get punched in the face </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1432/make-sterling-ridge-a-gated-community</loc><lastmod>2022-10-02T15:52:47.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1432/make-sterling-ridge-a-gated-community"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Sterling Ridge in Mountain's Edge, Las Vegas Nevada is one of very few communities in the Mountain's Edge area that is not a gated community. Camera Crestone which is directly across Le Baron Ave from Sterling Ridge, and Yellowstone which is on Quarterhouse Lane and Mountain's Edge Parkway are gated communities.

Recent public transit improvements to the area have made Mountain's Edge more accessible to non-resident visitors. Most visitors are legitimate friends and family members of Mountain's Edge residents, and patrons of local businesses; however, not all have good intentions.

Sterling Ridge, with no gate, is exposed to the main streets of Fort Apache and Mountain's Edge Parkway. As residents of this community, we believe making Sterling Ridge a gated community will improve security for all and increase property values.

Please sign this petition if you agree that Sterling Ridge in Mountains Edge, Las Vegas Nevada should be a gated community.</image:caption><image:title>Make Sterling Ridge a Gated Community</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2411/rialto-unified-schol-district-petition-to-remove-predators</loc><lastmod>2025-03-07T22:19:50.018Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2411/rialto-unified-schol-district-petition-to-remove-predators"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Frialto-unified-school-district-petition-to-remove-predators?alt=media&amp;token=d111dbe3-9f42-47b2-87bf-7df4c776e529</image:loc><image:caption>Subject: Immediate Termination of Staff to Address Rampant Sexual Misconduct in Rialto Unified School District&lt;p&gt;We, the undersigned, demand immediate action from the Rialto Unified School District (RUSD) Board of Education and administration to address the longstanding, systemic issues of sexual misconduct within the district. For far too long, students, families, and staff have suffered under a culture of silence, neglect, and outright failure to protect the most vulnerable. It is time to put an end to the practice of "passing the trash"—moving problematic staff rather than holding them accountable.
In order to begin the necessary and overdue cultural shift within RUSD, we call for the immediate termination of the following staff members who have either engaged in, enabled, or failed to act against sexual misconduct within the district. Their continued presence in RUSD represents a direct threat to student safety and perpetuates the widespread failure of accountability that has plagued this district for years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Michael Montano/Gabriel Quinones/Alex Vara&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We demand:
The immediate termination of all staff members implicated in sexual misconduct, inappropriate behavior, or failure to report such incidents in accordance with the law and ethical obligations.
Full transparency regarding the district's past handling of misconduct allegations, including how many reports have been filed and what actions were taken.
The implementation of a zero-tolerance policy for sexual misconduct, including mandatory reporting procedures, annual staff training, and an independent oversight committee to ensure enforcement.
Justice for past victims, including support services, public acknowledgment of the district’s failures, and active efforts to prevent future harm.
The history of sexual misconduct in RUSD has caused immeasurable harm to students and their families. We refuse to accept inaction or complacency any longer. We demand accountability, transparency, and a firm commitment to student safety. The first step in this process is the immediate termination of those who have violated the trust placed in them as educators and leaders.
We, the undersigned, insist on urgent and decisive action to protect current and future students from further harm. RUSD must demonstrate that sexual misconduct, or any form of impropriety, will no longer be tolerated or ignored.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Rialto Unified School District: Petition to Remove Predators</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1367/fairgrounds-manager-serve-as-fair-manager-too</loc><lastmod>2022-09-20T06:32:46.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1367/fairgrounds-manager-serve-as-fair-manager-too"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>I will be asking the Okanogan County Commissioner's to restructure the Fair next month. Since 2014, the Fair Board was eliminated and a new Fair Advisory Committee was formed. The 11 members of this Committee are supposed to volunteer to put on the County Fair under the direction of the BOCC. The Fairgrounds Manager is to do their paperwork, pay bills, answer calls, sign contracts and so much more but has ZERO say in the Fair and its happenings because of the current FAC and their reluctance to follow their Policies and Procedures and because many of them have their own personal agendas that is hindering the progress and growth of the fair. I would like to have a say. I would like to oversee that the families and youth that the Fair is SUPPOSED to be about are once again the focus of Fair. I would like Fair to be FAIR again. Change is hard, but something has to be done. Accountability, integrity, transparency are values that need to be front and center when serving the People of Okanogan County. Strong leadership is lacking and I hope to be that person, and I am asking for your support. Please email ncpeasley@hotmail.com, text or call 509-322-8513 if you have any questions or concerns.

This bill mandates that every public school district, charter school, and private school across the state integrate culturally responsive practices at all grade levels. It recognizes the value of representation, inclusion, and understanding diverse perspectives as foundational to effective education and a brighter future for New York’s youth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;S2547 also creates a pilot program to support the rollout of culturally responsive education and secures $25 million in funding to ensure robust implementation. By doing so, it seeks to close achievement gaps, foster mutual respect, and prepare students to succeed in an increasingly interconnected world. Every child, regardless of their background, deserves to see themselves reflected in what they learn and to gain a well-rounded understanding of the cultures that shape our communities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Your voice can help make this transformative vision a reality.&lt;/bold&gt; Urge your legislators to co-sponsor Bill S2547 and commit to an education system that empowers all students and celebrates the rich diversity of New York State.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Please co-sponsor Bill S2547</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1831/do-not-reappoint-an-unethical-board-of-trustee-to-the-prl-bot</loc><lastmod>2024-05-23T13:18:10.852Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1831/do-not-reappoint-an-unethical-board-of-trustee-to-the-prl-bot"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Barbara Young's Board of Trustee&amp;#160; term for the Pamunkey Regional Library is expiring, and she will likely be reappointed unless we can convince the Board of Supervisors to considers some of the applicants that we know have applied.

My family has endured so much pain the lost of a loved one, being separated, and their mother wrongfully incarcerated. My major is in Early Childhood Education. My goal once I obtained my Bachelor's degree is to publish a children's book and open a center from children. The center would be an after school program to help children with their school work, that they may not understand. The center will have S.T.E.A.M. activities to enhance children's problem-solving skills with real-life senarios. It will teach them how to make better choices without throwing or hitting one another. Children will be able to learn to express their emotions. We can assest what areas children may be strong or weak in. Please, give me a chance to make a difference.

The Board of Supervisors will advertise the cap for the Real Estate Tax and advertise if they will consider a Meals Tax and if so, up to what amount within the 6% allowed by state law. This caps the amount of revenue the county has to work with for the FY26 budget (they can always go lower, but may not go higher than what is advertised in this meeting).&amp;nbsp; Fairfax County is facing a nearly $300 million deficit in 2026.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Without independent taxing authority, FCPS relies on the county government for about 80% of its roughly $3.7 billion in annual funding.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For a typical Fairfax County household with middle-income earnings, a 3% tax rate would add about $150 to the cost of purchasing meals and prepared food over the course of a year and would generate approximately $48 million in revenue.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;At 4%, it would be about $65.1 million.&amp;nbsp; It is expected that one-third of the food and beverage tax would be paid by non-Fairfax County residents who are commuting to or visiting the county. Arlington, Alexandria, and Prince William County are considering an increase in meal taxes, while Fairfax City, Herndon, Vienna and Clifton, already have a tax.&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;The tax rates the BOS are currently considering are not enough to fully fund the negotiated salaries and benefits for FCPS employees. The BOS has already funded collective bargaining agreements for public safety, but appears to be reluctant to do so for FCPS.&amp;nbsp; If you are a Fairfax resident, are connected to FCPS, or work and spend money in Fairfax County we encourage you to write and call Chairman McKay plus your district supervisor &lt;b&gt;before Tuesday &lt;/b&gt;to urge them to advertise high on both so that our schools may continue to be properly funded in order to provide the quality education our families deserve and expect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Fairfax County Board of Supervisors - Fund our Schools!</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/668/stop-whale-and-dolphin-hunts-in-the-faroe-islands</loc><lastmod>2025-09-30T18:28:59.288Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/668/stop-whale-and-dolphin-hunts-in-the-faroe-islands"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fstop-us-tax-dollars-from-funding-forced-labor-seafood?alt=media&amp;token=6c2a26ae-8a96-48d2-90b1-f4bd264cebee</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;b&gt;Tell Congress: Stop Using Tax Dollars to Buy Slave-Caught Seafood&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seafood is one of America’s favorite foods — but much of it comes at a terrible cost. Investigations show that tens of thousands of workers on distant-water fleets are trapped in conditions that meet the definition of modern slavery. They are deceived by recruiters, stripped of their passports, denied wages, and forced to work in brutal and dangerous conditions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shockingly, some of this seafood ends up in U.S. government supply chains. In just one year, over $400 million was spent on seafood for military meals and school lunches, plus another $50 million for elder-nutrition programs. That means American children, troops, and seniors are being served seafood tainted by forced labor — and taxpayers are footing the bill.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The U.S. already has laws banning imports made with forced labor, but weak enforcement and procurement loopholes allow slave-caught seafood to slip through. Now is the moment to change this. In August 2025, the U.S. government expanded enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), naming seafood as a high-risk sector. The tools exist to fix this — what’s missing is the political will.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;We demand that Congress and federal agencies take action now:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ban slave-caught seafood from all federal food programs — from schools to military bases to elder care.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Require strict supplier audits and traceability for every seafood contract.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Enforce existing laws to keep forced-labor seafood out of U.S. markets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Slavery was abolished in America more than 150 years ago. It’s unacceptable that taxpayer money is still funding it today.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sign now and demand a ban on slave-caught seafood in all federally funded meals.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Stop U.S. Tax Dollars from Funding Forced-Labor Seafood</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1390/remove-da-in-multiple-main-departments-rule-elrp</loc><lastmod>2022-09-25T11:45:10.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1390/remove-da-in-multiple-main-departments-rule-elrp"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/null</image:loc><image:caption>your in SAFR and is department administration and wish you could get ranked up in LEO you simply can't You will have to get demoted down to supervisor in LEO or SAFR to be in the other department that you may like more.

I want this to change so SAFR could have department administrators and heads. SAFR is on very low Maintenance meaning if you was DA or heads in LEO and SAFR then you would simply not be stressed out having to worry about two huge departments. SAFR is for the most part done. I can work on my skins. Other then that the department is only needing for people to keep up the rules of it and be a little active and I mean a little.

We advocate for transparency, fairness, and accountability in AI-powered hiring systems to prevent discrimination, privacy violations, and algorithmic bias.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;📢 AI hiring tools are rapidly being adopted by major employers, yet they often operate without oversight, transparency, or privacy safeguards. Without clear regulations, these systems risk reinforcing discrimination, violating privacy, and denying job seekers a fair chance at employment.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🔹 80% of Fortune 500 companies now use AI-driven hiring tools (Dastin, 2018). 🔹 AI has been found to discriminate against women, racial minorities, and older workers (Raghavan et al., 2020).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;🔹 AI hiring systems collect, analyze, and store personal data—often without informed consent (Wachter et al., 2021).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;⚖️ Policy Solutions: Ensuring AI Hiring Fairness &amp;amp; Privacy&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;✅ Transparency &amp;amp; Disclosure – Employers must inform candidates when AI is used in hiring.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;✅ Job Seeker Privacy Protection – AI hiring tools must not collect biometric or behavioral data without consent.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;✅ Right to Challenge AI Decisions – Candidates must be able to appeal AI-driven rejections and request human review.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;✅ Independent AI Bias Audits – AI hiring platforms should undergo mandatory third-party audits to check for bias.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;✅ Regulatory Oversight – Governments must enforce compliance with anti-discrimination and privacy laws.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;📢 We urge policymakers to take immediate action.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The future of work depends on how we shape AI policies today.

The problem is they don't like it cause I don't let them lie to me, like when they had been cutting it 6 inches for the last 3 months. I will be making a boycott home depot on change.org because of how dirty I was done by home depot banning me from the store for no reason.&amp;#10;&amp;#10;It just hurts me that I been done this way by so many people through out my life.

Or not put up with being lied to. Then when consumers do exercise their rights. They get banned. I know what this really is about.&amp;#10;&amp;#10;It's because of my RACE. I'm getting tired of how customers can't get upset. When it's the employees trying to provoke the customer to anger. But do the employees get fired for it no. The customer gets punished and banned. Jessica and Dalela Johnson are just trying to cover up for how I was lied to. About how I was the one who was harassed and abused by the home depot employees and manager's chris by them lying to me.&amp;#10;&amp;#10;About not being able to cut the wood 6 inches like they had been doing it for 6  months.

I don't have to take abuse or harassment from the home depot employees.&amp;#10;&amp;#10;Home depot forgets that consumers have rights not to put up being treated this way. They have sorry scum employees and managers at this phenix city home depot. Consumers have a right to fight back when being lied to. But I wasn't being disruptive or abusive&amp;#10;&amp;#10;They been getting away with this for so long about lying about customers. It's not right or fair how businesses like home depot can just do this to people.&amp;#10;&amp;#10;When all I did was ask for the manager. Why they refused to cut my wood 6 inches which they had been doing it for the past 3 months. Then the home depot employee lied saying we VALUE all our customers. Well not me they haven't. It's due to my race WHITE and my AGE.&amp;#10;&amp;#10;Well I know I wasn't being abusive or disruptive. Home depot refuses to remove the trespass.

This is our next move, the tool we need for ACES Act advocacy to lawmakers and staffers. The attachment (see more below) tells a straightforward story: Why the ACES Act? And, how the ACES Act and the PACT Act are *different* things. Below, we have provided the names and email addresses for the legislative aides of the Representatives who work on the House Disability Affairs &amp;amp; Mortuary Assistance (DAMA) subcommittee of the House Veterans Affairs Committee(HVAC).
You will see we are asking you to send an attachment and not a full email.  Why a 1-page attachment and not just an email with 1 or 2 sentences? The arguments developed against H.R. 530 ACES Act are so elaborate, the only way to beat those arguments is with our 1-page paper. Next, if lawmakers never see our 1-pager, "Case For ACES Act" .pdf, they will rely on the second-hand opinions of others. When we succeed in getting out of the DAMA, we will repeat this advocacy tactic at the HVAC level.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;</image:caption><image:title>The Case for H.R. 530 - The ACES Act.</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2648/support-bill-s2547-for-inclusive-history1</loc><lastmod>2025-07-07T20:41:35.627Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2648/support-bill-s2547-for-inclusive-history1"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fsupport-bill-s2547-for-inclusive-history?alt=media&amp;token=8ef2d430-8f64-43a9-b472-aa988304e08b</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support Bill S2547: Building Inclusive History for New York’s Classrooms&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Imagine a future where every student sees themselves reflected in what they learn. &lt;b&gt;Bill S2547&lt;/b&gt; is a bold step toward that future, ensuring that New York’s curriculum honors the rich diversity of our communities.

Let’s advance equity and understanding in every classroom, for every child.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Support Bill S2547 for Inclusive History</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2821/food-stamps-are-essential</loc><lastmod>2025-10-22T22:51:08.854Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2821/food-stamps-are-essential"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Ffood-stamps-are-essential?alt=media&amp;token=d46a67bf-5194-4810-9c3e-d25132dac33e</image:loc><image:caption>Without the food stamps people won't have enough to eat and seniors will go hungry children will go hungry families will starve.

We call on Congress to pass Emmanuel’s Law to protect children in all 50 states. Every year in the United States, countless children are harmed or killed by parents who have already been convicted of child abuse or sexual abuse. Too often, these abusers are allowed to return to society, where they reoffend and destroy more young lives. We are demanding that Congress pass Emmanuel’s Law — a federal child protection law to ensure: • Any parent convicted of child abuse or sexual abuse will never be allowed to have more children. • Convicted child abusers and predators will not be released to reoffend. • The safety of children will always come before the rights of offenders. This law must apply nationwide, because protecting children should not depend on what state they live in. Emmanuel’s Law is about protecting every child in America. By signing this petition, you are standing up for the voiceless and demanding action from our lawmakers. Together, we can end the cycle of abuse and create a safer future for all children.</image:caption><image:title>Emmanuel’s Law:Protect Children From Convicted Abusers Nationwide</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2760/opposition-to-the-proposed-gcps-display-of-flags-proposed-policy</loc><lastmod>2025-09-02T15:19:08.791Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2760/opposition-to-the-proposed-gcps-display-of-flags-proposed-policy"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fopposition-to-the-proposed-gcps-display-of-flags-proposed-policy?alt=media&amp;token=e9d278a4-1517-45c7-a810-d747bd1af0a3</image:loc><image:caption>The Display of Flags Policy drafted by the GCPS School Board is divisive, unnecessary and misaligned with the core value of the Goochland Community.

The evidence is clear: Alabama has the most severe shortage of mental health providers in the nation, with only one provider for every 850 residents, and even more extreme gaps in rural communities where access is most difficult. More than half of young Alabamians who experience a major depressive episode do not receive treatment, and nearly three-quarters of adults with substance use disorders cannot access care—even as the state’s mental illness rate soars above the national average.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emergency rooms have become de facto holding spaces for people in crisis, hospitals are forced to turn away eligible patients, and families too often must travel far distances—or wait for days—to find a bed or treatment.&lt;/b&gt; While the state has opened a network of 24/7 crisis centers, these facilities are not enough to meet the statewide demand, nor are they always equipped to provide the integrated, long-term care needed for people with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Recent reviews highlight systemic obstacles—including inconsistent data, funding limitations, and fragmented community supports—that undermine the quality, reach, and effectiveness of these vital services.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;We call for an urgent, collaborative expansion of co-occurring treatment facilities across Alabama.&lt;/b&gt; These centers must combine evidence-based mental health and addiction care under one roof, with adequate resources for both rural and urban communities. State leaders, healthcare providers, and stakeholders must prioritize investment in new beds, community-based services, and workforce development to bridge the gap between crisis intervention and lasting recovery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;People from every corner of our state, regardless of age, income, or background, deserve access to timely, competent, and compassionate care. &lt;u&gt;Help us make Alabama a leader in co-occurring treatment—not a cautionary tale in unmet need.&lt;/u&gt; Stand with us to demand a stronger, more equitable system that saves lives, supports families, and strengthens communities for generations to come.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Call for more more Cooccurring Facilities in Alabama !! </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2282/mejores-escuelas-en-balmorhea-isd-para-mi-hijoa1</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T21:07:03.427Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2282/mejores-escuelas-en-balmorhea-isd-para-mi-hijoa1"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Estimado Superintendent Massey,&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;Como padre y miembro de la comunidad, quiero asegurarme de que todos los estudiantes tengan acceso a una educación de alta calidad que los prepare para el futuro con las habilidades que necesitan para obtener excelentes empleos.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yo apoyo:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Ampliar las opciones de escuelas públicas, tanto del distrito como chárter, de alta calidad&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;-Retener maestros de alta calidad, brindándoles mayor acceso a capacitación integral, apoyo e incentivos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;-Fortalecer los programas de Educación Técnica y Profesional (CTE) para conectar a los estudiantes con oportunidades laborales del mundo real&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;-Crear entornos de aprendizaje seguros para estudiantes y maestros&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;El futuro de nuestros niños depende de buenas escuelas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Les insto a que prioricen estas mejoras.

Recent data reveals that nearly 40% of children aged 8-12 in the U.S. access social media, often sidestepping age restrictions. Yet, many platforms continue to rely on outdated, self-reporting age checks, putting children at risk and eroding trust.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Stronger oversight and robust regulations are finally being embraced worldwide.&lt;/bold&gt; States like Tennessee, Nebraska, and Texas have introduced or enacted laws that require age verification, parental consent, and stringent privacy protections for youth. The European Union’s Digital Services Act and new U.S. legislative proposals show there is broad support for greater transparency, clearer rules for data collection and algorithmic recommendations, and stronger mechanisms to protect users’ well-being. But recent legal challenges and lobbying by tech giants show that voluntary self-regulation is not enough.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;The stakes are high: unchecked platforms fuel misinformation, online harms, and the spread of unsafe content, all while exploiting personal data.&lt;/bold&gt; Our call is urgent and clear—digital platforms must be held responsible for the safety, privacy, and dignity of their users. By insisting on accountability, we can ensure that technology used for connection and innovation truly benefits humanity, rather than risking harm for profit.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Webplatforms need to be held accountable </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2252/stronger-klondike-isd-schools-for-my-child</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T20:57:21.310Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2252/stronger-klondike-isd-schools-for-my-child"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Klondike ISD Superintendent,&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;As a parent in our community, I want to make sure all students have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for the future, equipping them with the skills for great jobs, lifelong learning &amp;amp; success.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I support:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Expanding access to high-quality public &amp;amp; charter public school options to meet the diverse needs of all students&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Retaining high-quality teachers by providing increased access to strong curriculum, comprehensive training, support &amp;amp; incentives&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Strengthening Career &amp;amp; Technical Education (CTE) programs to connect students with real-world work opportunities&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Creating safe learning environments for students &amp;amp; teachers

This ruling restored federal protections for wolves in 44 states, but did not apply to wolves in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming.  Wolf populations in these states were stripped of federal protections a decade ago under separate congressional action, supporting increased wolf slaughter in these states.

Idaho allows up to 90 percent of the state's existing wolf population to be killed. Montana sanctioned killing up to 85 percent of its wolf population since the fall of 2021. Both Montana and Idaho have authorized the use of inhumane practices like chokehold snares with the potential to kill entire packs. 

The USFWS is currently conducting a status review of the Gray Wolf in the Northern Rockies and the western United States. With the fall and winter hunts currently underway and wolf populations in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming at risk of being decimated by high hunting quotas and bounties, now is the time for Interior Secretary Haaland to take swift action to restore federal protections to all wolves through an emergency relisting for Northern Rocky Mountain wolf populations.  

Send a letter to the Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland to relist all gray wolves under the ESA through an emergency listing for wolves in the Norther Rockies. No wolves are safe until all wolves are safe.

⸻&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;✅ WE DEMAND:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;1️⃣ Full transparency and public release of all A’ILA Resorts development plans.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2️⃣ Guarantee that at least two-thirds of the beach — from Starfish Hotel to Marie’s Fish Shack — stays open and reserved for Saint Lucian residents.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3️⃣ Compensation for affected residents and repair of damaged infrastructure.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4️⃣ Strict enforcement of Saint Lucia’s construction laws and environmental standards.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5️⃣ Priority hiring of Saint Lucian workers for all current and future phases.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6️⃣ Immediate maintenance and repairs to roads damaged by the project.

⸻&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;🏝️ Reduit Beach is OUR beach. It’s time we stand up and protect it.

Recent actions by Mayor Vincent Desantis of Gloversville have raised serious concerns about a potential violation of his oath and office, endangering the principles of accountability, transparency, and ethical governance.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Public officials are sworn to uphold the laws, protect the interests of the people, and act in the best interest of their community. Allegations of misconduct and failure to honor this oath represent a breach of trust that cannot be ignored.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;We call on the community to stand together and demand a thorough investigation into these alleged violations. It is vital to ensure that elected representatives remain fully accountable to the standards of their position. By supporting this cause, you are advocating for fairness, justice, and the preservation of democratic values in Gloversville.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Let us send a clear message: no one is above the law, and the principles of public service must be upheld. Together, we can work to protect the integrity of our local government and ensure that the voices of the people are heard and respected.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mayor Vincent Desantis has let crime and drugs annihilate and take over our community firing our police chief Clay behind bringing awareness and public media to our community issues and drug infection that we have&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Violating his oath of office and the constitution I not only challenge his mental competency but as well I call on the Govenor and Attorney generals office to investigate and prosecute all unconstitutional actions that have been taking since mayor Vincent Desantis has taken office&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Gloversville Mayor Vincent Desantis Violation of Oath of office  </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2504/fire-trump</loc><lastmod>2025-04-16T18:47:31.056Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2504/fire-trump"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;As a young person not able to vote yet I am very mad at Mr Trump and Mr Musk for making it harder for me to learn things. And I think that they don't want to hear from young people like me because calling or emailing Mr Trump doesn't work. When all I want to know is how Mr Trump can give money to someone like Mr Musk or go to the golf club instead of giving to all the necessary social programs established along time ago. Doesn't Mr Musk have enough money? How is playing golf more important than supporting people that could be an aged or disabled family member or the vet who saw their companion fall to the ground with blood oozing out of a fatal wound to the head. How can you Mr Trump criminalize DEI when there's DEI all over from clouds trees dogs cats fish peppers etc because otherwise life would be BORING how about you eat your favorite two foods for a month,&amp;nbsp; bet you get sick the same way I &amp;amp; others are sick of you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's why there is a calling on leaders who have sworn to serve the public—Jimmy Gomez, Maria Elena Durazo, Jasmine Crockett, Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, Pete Aguilar, Joe Neguse, Ted Lieu, Suzan DelBene, Debbie Dingell, Maxwell Frost, Lori Trahan, Lauren Underwood, Robert Garcia, Susie Lee, Luz Rivas, and Nanette Barragán—to act swiftly and decisively. Your voice and leadership in demanding accountability are critical to restoring faith in our institutions. We urge you to support all legal and legislative means necessary to ensure Donald Trump is held responsible and removed from any position of power or influence in our government.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is a movement for justice, truth, and the protection of democratic values. Together, we can build a future where leaders are chosen not for their fame or fear tactics, but for their service to the people. Join us in demanding real accountability. Sign the petition. Speak out. Hold the line for democracy.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Fire Trump </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2291/stronger-schools-for-our-lake-arthur-community</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T19:37:40.899Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2291/stronger-schools-for-our-lake-arthur-community"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Lake Arthur Municipal School District,&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;I’m deeply invested in our local education system’s success - it’s the foundation that ensures our youth and community thrive.

As citizens who care deeply about privacy, health, and security, we believe that these devices present significant concerns that cannot be ignored.&lt;/b&gt; Smart meters, while designed to modernize our energy infrastructure, have raised numerous red flags regarding their impact on our daily lives. Reports of privacy infringements, increased bills, and possible health risks have emerged across communities. Our voices must be heard to ensure these issues are addressed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Firstly, the potential for data breaches looms over every household equipped with a smart meter. The real-time data collected by these devices can provide intimate insights into personal habits and routines, which can be exploited if fallen into the wrong hands.&lt;/b&gt; Privacy should be a fundamental right, not a privilege, and compromising it for technological advancement is something we cannot accept.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Moreover, many have reported unexpected spikes in their electricity bills following the installation of a smart meter.&lt;/b&gt; The accuracy and transparency behind these readings are often questioned, leaving customers frustrated and financially burdened. We believe in a fair billing system that accurately reflects consumption without any hidden discrepancies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lastly, there are concerns about potential health risks due to prolonged exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted by smart meters.&lt;/b&gt; Multiple studies suggest that these emissions could pose dangers, particularly to vulnerable individuals such as children and those with pre-existing health conditions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Demand the reconsideration of smart meter installations by NB Power.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Advocate for alternative energy solutions that prioritize privacy, accuracy, and health.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Join us in voicing our concerns and shaping a future that prioritizes our wellbeing and rights.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Together, we can build a safer and more secure energy system for all.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Get rid of smart meters with NB Power</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2843/keep-daylight-savings-time2</loc><lastmod>2025-11-05T20:55:30.746Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2843/keep-daylight-savings-time2"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fkeep-daylight-savings-time?alt=media&amp;token=3fe82fcb-b0ff-47ca-a730-ce54cbd9a9bc</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;Daylight Saving Time has been a part of American and global life for more than a century, a tradition that brings one extra hour of evening daylight and supports community vitality, outdoor activities, and local businesses. Despite ongoing debates, there remains a passionate and growing movement to &lt;strong&gt;keep Daylight Saving Time year-round&lt;/strong&gt;. The recent reintroduction of the Sunshine Protection Act in Congress in early 2025 renews hope for making Daylight Saving Time permanent across the nation, signaling that policymakers are still actively considering this change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Advocates for keeping Daylight Saving Time argue that the extra hour of sunlight in the evenings:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Boosts mental health and well-being by encouraging people to get outside and enjoy nature after work and school&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Reduces energy consumption by aligning waking hours with natural light, helping to lower electricity use&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Supports local economies, especially in retail, hospitality, and recreation, where more daylight means more customers and economic activity&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Promotes safety by providing more daylight during peak travel and commuting times&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Opponents of ending Daylight Saving Time often cite health concerns, but there is no shortage of people who cherish those long, bright summer evenings and the opportunities they create for families, friendships, and community events. In the current legislative session, the issue is more relevant than ever, with bipartisan support indicating that Washington is listening to the voices of millions who want to preserve this tradition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This movement isn’t just about clocks—it’s about community, physical and emotional health, and making the most of every day. Now is the time to join the effort, shape the conversation, and make sure Daylight Saving Time remains a part of our collective future.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Keep Daylight Savings Time!</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2262/stronger-sands-consolidated-isd-schools-for-my-child</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T21:03:33.007Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2262/stronger-sands-consolidated-isd-schools-for-my-child"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Sands Superintendent,&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;As a parent in our community, I want to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for the future, equipping them with the skills for great jobs, lifelong learning &amp;amp; success.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I support:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Expanding access to high-quality public &amp;amp; charter public school options to meet the diverse needs of all students&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Retaining high-quality teachers by providing increased access to strong curriculum, comprehensive training, support &amp;amp; incentives&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Strengthening Career &amp;amp; Technical Education (CTE) programs to connect students with real-world work opportunities&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Creating safe learning environments for students &amp;amp; teachers

This bill ensures that the rich and diverse histories of Asian American, African American, Native American, Latino American, and other communities are taught side-by-side in classrooms, giving every child a sense of belonging and pride in their heritage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why support Bill S2547?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Representation matters:&lt;/b&gt; An inclusive curriculum helps all students see themselves and their peers in the stories that shape our society.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Prepares students for a diverse world:&lt;/b&gt; By learning about the histories, triumphs, and struggles of all groups, students become informed and empathetic citizens.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Builds unity:&lt;/b&gt; Understanding our shared histories fosters cross-cultural respect and helps combat ignorance and prejudice.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Momentum is building across New York for this transformative change. Passing S2547 will equip teachers and schools with the resources and standards to teach history that truly reflects and celebrates the diversity of our state.

I have personally advocated for tenants disabled and disabled veterans in the courts and Berkshire County of the affected people of the housing crisis to date.

I have personally researched that many properties in the city of Pittsfield have not passed inspection code or regulatory inspections are and are in violation of these statutory laws in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

5 Pittsfield city Council Members, Kronick, Persip, Kalowoski, Sherman, and Warren have advocated in my appointment to the AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

I am trying to initiate a three part phase plan to start to curb the housing crisis in the city of Pittsfield before it worsens.

I've started a non-profit TALLEYUP AFFORDABLE HOUSING INITIATIVE, INC., to help tenants, help the transitional maintenance and effect that will be caused by displacement and helping people into first-time homes, advocacy in the courts for tenants, feeding and help with shelter for the displaced, community  liason between tenants and landlords for better communitive relationship.

My goal is to have at least 90 to 95% of the 891 multi family properties in the city of the Pittsfield to pass inspection within the next 3 years. 

The first phase will be the basic application of fire extinguishers and new smoke carbon detectors in homes in the city of Pittsfield.

The second phase will be to garnish the properties from landlords that have not passed inspection or certification 7 to 10 years before the Covid 19 crisis hit and renovate.

The third phase will be to equally distribute renovated properties to ethnic backgrounds and current racial disparity to bring equity and equality to the city of Pittsfield.

My goal is appointment onto this board of directors to ensure that the people and citizens of Pittsfield are seriously heard and respected on the human rights and issues dealing with housing and how it affects them.

I appreciate your support,
Le MARR TALLEY

But many times are given only 15 minutes to shower, in which imagine over 20 inmates trying to bathe at once. Many take this time to get hot water, workout, communicate with their families amongst other things. In many cases inmates have gone up to four days with no outside time of there four wall cell. This can cause a lot of problem mentally, emotionally and physically for any human being. Inmates are enraged have taken upon themselves to go on strike and have stopped receiving food provided by CFCF. This has been a ongoing problem for a long time. Currently because of the pandemic all visitation has been terminated, but they have managed to get tablets for video chatting. So that inmates can have an opportunity to communicate with their loved onces. Even so inmates have not had an opportunity to use them because of the lack of recreational time that they are getting.

He has lied repeatedly about election fraud, claiming that he has proof that voting machines were rigged to change the vote count against Donald Trump and in favor of Joe Biden. He incited violence prior to the riot on capital hill on January 6th. He lobbied Donald Trump to refuse to accept the results of the election and invoke martial law to prevent a peaceful transition of power. And yet, companies like Amazon, Macy's, Bed Bath &amp; Beyond, Lowes, and Walmart continue to do business with him. 

By selling MyPillow products, these stores are directly funding this traitorous behavior. We are calling on Americans who care about democracy and the rule of law to boycott MyPillow and demand that the stores they shop in take this companies products off of their selves and off of their websites immediately in order to send a message that violent insurrection will not be tolerated in America.</image:caption><image:title>Tell Stores to Boycott MyPillow</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2600/mental-health-advocacy</loc><lastmod>2025-05-24T17:01:47.896Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2600/mental-health-advocacy"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fmental-health-advocacy?alt=media&amp;token=eefbcf2e-ad52-454b-88f9-c00558e98445</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Mental health is a vital part of our overall well-being, yet millions still face barriers to the support and care they deserve.&lt;/bold&gt; Stigma, insufficient funding, and fragmented services continue to put lives at risk.

Yet, an unsettling trend has emerged: politicians lying with impunity. This not only erodes public trust in our leaders but undermines the very fabric of our democracy. It's time for a change, and that change begins with us. We demand accountability and integrity from those elected to represent and serve us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our call to action is clear and urgent. We advocate for the introduction of a bill by a bipartisan group of Congress Members that mandates all Members of Congress to take an oath to truthfulness, akin to being sworn in court. This oath will bind them to honesty during their tenure, ensuring that they uphold the values of transparency and integrity essential for a healthy democracy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are targeting the US House of Representatives and the United States Government, urging them to recognize the gravity of this issue and take decisive action. The erosion of public trust must be addressed by institutionalizing honesty and holding our politicians to a higher standard. By signing this petition, you lend your voice to a growing chorus demanding that those in power are held accountable for their words and actions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us in this vital campaign. Together, we can build a future where political discourse is marked by truth, fostering a more informed and engaged citizenry. Your support can catalyze the necessary legislative change to ensure that honesty prevails in our halls of power.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>We Need Truth in Politics</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2140/opposition-to-forced-use-of-kimble-trash-service</loc><lastmod>2025-01-31T20:42:58.487Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2140/opposition-to-forced-use-of-kimble-trash-service"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fopposition-to-forced-use-of-kimble-trash-service?alt=media&amp;token=7384b904-3284-412a-a8a7-7540c1fd1e8b</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;To: Mayor Pat Fallot and Louisville City Counsel&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From: Concerned Residents of Louisville, Ohio&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Date: 1/31/2025&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We, the undersigned residents of Louisville, Ohio, strongly oppose the recent decision to mandate Kimble as the sole trash service provider. This action forces out competition, limits consumer choice, and disregards the voices of the people.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For years, residents have had the freedom to select a waste disposal service that best suits their needs and budget. The new mandate eliminates that choice, benefiting a single company while potentially increasing costs and reducing service quality. This decision was made without transparent public input, and it does not reflect the will of the majority.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Our concerns include:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- **Loss of Competition** – Other companies are being pushed out, reducing service quality and price competition.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- **Lack of Public Input** – The decision was made without adequate consultation with residents.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- **Potential Cost Increases** – With a monopoly in place, future price hikes are inevitable.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- **Service Issues** – Residents have reported dissatisfaction with Kimble’s service in the past.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We demand that the city reconsider this undemocratic mandate and reinstate the right of residents to choose their own waste disposal service. We call for a public forum to openly discuss this issue and explore fair alternatives that reflect the needs of the people.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By signing this petition, we urge city officials to reverse this decision and prioritize the interests of the community over corporate monopolies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sincerely,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Katlynn R. and the Louisville Community&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Opposition to Forced Use of Kimble Trash Service</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2236/mejores-escuelas-en-dawson-isd-para-la-comunidad</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T16:12:17.932Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2236/mejores-escuelas-en-dawson-isd-para-la-comunidad"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;Estimado Superintendente Jones,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Estoy interesado/a en el éxito de nuestro sistema educativo local porque es la base que garantiza que nuestra juventud y comunidad prosperen.

However, this vibrant platform is now at risk of being banned, and we need your help to protect it.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why does TikTok matter?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Creativity Unleashed:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; TikTok has become a hub for artists, musicians, and creators to reach audiences worldwide.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Small Business Support:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Entrepreneurs have leveraged TikTok to grow their brands and connect with customers.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Educational Impact:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; From science experiments to language learning, TikTok has turned knowledge into an engaging experience.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Community Building:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The platform fosters inclusivity and gives a voice to underrepresented groups.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Removing TikTok would not only stifle creativity but also harm the livelihoods of countless individuals and businesses. It’s more than just an app—it’s a cultural phenomenon that bridges divides, spreads joy, and inspires change.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Join us in taking a stand to protect this beloved platform. Together, we can ensure that TikTok continues to empower communities, foster innovation, and bring people closer worldwide.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>SIGN PETITION TO SAVE TIKTOK FROM BAN!</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1151/strengthen-winnetka-catholic-education</loc><lastmod>2023-01-04T12:02:38.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1151/strengthen-winnetka-catholic-education"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>The undersigned families of Sacred Heart School and the School of Saints Faith, Hope &amp; Charity, both of Winnetka, IL, formally request the creation of an exploratory committee to examine the possibility and feasibility of combining these two schools, with or potentially without a parish merger. The reasons why our families feel so strongly that this needs to be considered are outlined below. 

--------------------

Within the village of Winnetka, the School of Saints Faith, Hope &amp; Charity and Sacred Heart School have a long history of excellence in education, anchored by the Catholic tradition and the values that this tradition prioritizes. Both schools’ missions are founded in the belief that their educational environment develops the spiritual, academic, moral, and social growth of each student. Additionally, in recent years, both SH and FHC have received prestigious National Blue Ribbons, which are awarded based on academic achievement and exemplify true excellence in education. 

Catholic schools today are finding themselves faced with increasing challenges that are negatively impacting their enrollment, and subsequently the strength of the parish. Some of these challenges include:
 - Recruiting, developing, and maintaining faithful Catholic educators and leaders 
- Defining and promoting the true value of Catholic schools 
- Engaging the entire/wider community 
- Rising property taxes that disincentivize families from prioritizing non-public education 
- Upholding excellence in academics and faith formation in an increasingly secular society

Sadly, a cycle is now perpetuating, wherein the smaller grade sizes are yet another deterrent to Catholic education; combined with the challenges already noted above, the future facing our schools looks bleak.

In 2019, the two Catholic parishes and schools in Wilmette, Saint Joseph School and St. Francis Xavier School, combined as part of the parish merger introduced through the Renew My Church initiative. These schools that had been struggling to maintain enrollment are now thriving as a result of the combined strength and shared vision of these once separate communities. 

The success of these Wilmette schools is a model we need to consider within Winnetka. With a population less than half the size of Wilmette (12k vs 28k), there is little room for competing Catholic schools in our community. Combining FHC and SH would allow for the following:
- Immediate increased enrollment, larger grade size and a more powerful community
- Two campuses, wherein the facilities can be enhanced and streamlined for the age groups they are hosting 
- Less competition in recruiting engaged and faithful teachers and administrators
- A bigger pool of educators with varying backgrounds and talents, enhancing the schools ability to promote the true value of Catholic education 
- A wider, more powerful and engaged community 
- More opportunities for developing the child beyond the classroom through sports, community service, theater, and beyond
- Engaging the overall parishes; a thriving Catholic school will encourage a thriving Catholic parish

We are excited to explore this idea further with feedback and leadership from the Archdiocese and current Sacred Heart and Faith Hope families.

REINSTATE THE BX19 BUS STOPS AT 
145 STREET AND CONVENT AVENUE IN MANHATTAN NOW.

We the undersigned are petitioning the MTA and the elected officials of City of New York to immediately reinstate the BX19 Bus stops at 145 Street and Convent Avenue both eastbound and westbound and release the community from the stranglehold the lack of these bus stops creates.   

These bus stops are situated between to two long and steep hills which are difficult to navigate in inclement weather and for people with physical limitations and senior citizens at any time.  These BX 19 bus stops are necessary because:

•	The 3 churches in the immediate area have now reopened and the lack of bus stops are hindering the undersigned from getting to their houses of worship which provide comfort, stability and socialization 
•	The seniors of the Hamilton Grange Senior Citizen Center at this stop are being cut off from nutritious meals, socialization and community care and support and the ravages of the pandemic as well as a cooling center.
•	The community needs these bus stops to travel to the nearby subways, schools, shopping centers, parks and other parts of the city.

A second encounter results in a felony punishable by years in prison—an extreme response that does nothing to improve public safety.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Forces Local Law Enforcement to Do Federal Work -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;Immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility. This bill coerces state and local agencies into ICE enforcement, diverting limited resources away from real crimes and exposing the state to legal liability.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Undermines Public Safety -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;When immigrant communities fear police, crimes go unreported.

They filed book challenges in Nov. 2023, and although a committee voted to retain the book, the challengers may still appeal that decision to the board. Our two newest board members have expressed support for banning the book. At a recent board meeting, one of those board members even called the book challenge just &amp;#34;the first go around,&amp;#34; suggesting that more book ban efforts are coming.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.everylibraryinstitute.org/bookbanpoll" target="_blank"&gt;Surveys&amp;#160;have shown that an overwhelming majority of Americans&amp;#160;- from both sides of the political aisle - oppose book bans.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#160;We believe the citizens of Fern Ridge are rational people who understand the danger that book bans pose to our First Amendment rights. Therefore, we ask the citizens of Fern Ridge to TELL THE SCHOOL BOARD TO UPHOLD THE FREEDOM TO READ AND REJECT BOOK BANS! You don't have to be a parent to make your voice heard.

This family-owned small business provides a warm atmosphere for friends and family to gather as well as space for students to complete homework and larger tables for group meetings. The quality of their product is par to none, and their business management practices reflect the values of our small-town community. Bill and Wendy go above and beyond in cultivating personal relationships with their customer base, and this establishment is critical to the values we hold in Berrien Springs, MI.

We believe that the establishment of a Biggby Coffee within our community would be a direct threat to this locally owned small business and would upend the values they hold to. With the franchise behind Biggby Coffee, their resources in advertisement and drawing customer base would pose a threat to this small business in our town.

Valuing community based establishments, we, the undersigned do formally stand against the proposal for the establishment of a Biggby Coffee in Berrien Springs, MI. </image:caption><image:title>Protect Revive Coffee by Opposing the Biggby Coffee Proposal</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2665/please-support-bill-s25474</loc><lastmod>2025-07-07T20:15:02.142Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2665/please-support-bill-s25474"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fplease-support-bill-s2547?alt=media&amp;token=1dbfafc1-82c6-4d05-95e3-c23dd9b07e11</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Support Bill S2547: Champion Culturally Responsive Education in New York&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bill S2547 is a transformative step toward making our schools more inclusive, equitable, and reflective of the vibrant diversity of New York State.

Bill S2547 brings us closer to that goal by mandating that all New York schools—public, charter, and private—create a &lt;underline&gt;culturally responsive education curriculum and standards&lt;/underline&gt; at every grade level. This means a richer, more inclusive learning experience for all, celebrating the diversity that makes our communities strong.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Why does this matter?&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Many students today come from diverse cultural, linguistic, and racial backgrounds. Inclusive history isn't just fair—it's essential to real educational success.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Research shows that students learn more and perform better when their own stories and identities are valued in the classroom.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;This bill ensures teachers are equipped to connect lessons to students' real lives, making education meaningful and empowering.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Bill S2547 also sets up a pilot program in culturally responsive education, dedicating $25 million to ensure schools have the resources needed to bring these lessons to life. By supporting this legislation, we are championing an education system that uplifts all voices and prepares our children to thrive in a diverse and interconnected world.&lt;/bold&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;bold&gt;Let's stand together for history that includes everyone.

My mental has took a toll, I’ve had bills that were late my rent has been late and I have had major health issues since Jan i went on medical leave Jan 2022-May 31st 2022. I had surgery in February and found out that i have endometriosis stage 1-2. Also I have nerve damage and Radiculopathy. I have went through sedation to get injections in my back to help with my pain. I tried to return to work in April but i can’t even sit down for no more than 2 hours because my right leg starts to hurt goes numb and my back starts hurting. So i went back on leave til May 31st. Also I had to stop seeing my therapist because i owe them money and I had to go to a family therapist to talk about everything this job has put me through. I have 3 kids I take care of by myself. I should not be receiving this treatment at all I was treated poorly by management who told me my mental health didn’t matter that it wasn’t fair to my co workers or my customers that I could not come to work because they have been messing up my checks for 8 months almost consecutively. My medical pay was even messed up somewhat while i had surgery and could not even get out the bed by myself i had 24 hour care I had to call HR and ask them what was going on with my medical pay. I have never been through anything like this. I have been told by some people they went through the same thing. I tried to be strong and I’ve been holding on. I’ve had the manger at chase in Elgin IL tell me that she needs me to TERMINATE my employment with chase. Why would you tell an employee that who is seriously mental depressed. I can’t even pay my bills on time because this job has messed everything up including my kids birthdays. I still deal with pains every day. In June i caught pneumonia and had COVID and was off work for a week. Now their not trying to pay me what they rightfully owe me. I want people to be aware of what this company has done to me and if anyone has been through hardship through chase to come forward and stand with me. I deserve to be paid for heartache suffering &amp; my bills that have been late, the time I’ve had to spend on the phone this entire year with HR asking them what was going on with my pay. I’m frustrated with this energies company and how they treat employees.!</image:caption><image:title>JP MORGAN CHASE DISCRIMINATED ME</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2932/please-vote-yes-on-hb-2995-child-safety-first</loc><lastmod>2026-02-23T04:23:54.106Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2932/please-vote-yes-on-hb-2995-child-safety-first"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fplease-vote-yes-on-hb-2995-child-safety-first?alt=media&amp;token=ea21b670-630c-4985-a28f-2ae8d11c6a16</image:loc><image:caption>HB 2995 -

The Alec &amp;amp; Lydia Act&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;HB 2995 is named in honor of Alec and Lydia Mater, two Arizona children who were murdered by their father following family court proceedings in which documented domesitic violence and mental health concerns were raised. Their mother requested supervised parenting time but it was denied and instead 50/50 unsupervised parenting time was ordered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Their case exposed gaps in how domestic violence is evaluated in parenting time decisions. The Alec &amp;amp; Lydia Act seeks to close those gaps and prevent similar tragedies.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What Does HB 2995 Do?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;HB 2995 strengthens Arizona’s domestic violence statute in custody cases by:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;• Requiring courts to treat domestic violence as contrary to a child’s best interests&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Expanding the definition of domestic violence to include coercive control and patterns of abuse&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Requiring specific, detailed findings when abuse is present&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Placing the burden on the abusive parent to prove parenting time will be safe&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Limiting unsupervised parenting time until genuine change is demonstrated&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Prioritizing child safety before expanding parenting time&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;In short, the bill shifts Arizona’s framework to safety first when domestic violence is documented.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Legislative Status:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;HB 2995 passed the House Judiciary Committee on February 18 with bipartisan support.

It is expected to be heard on the House floor this week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why This Matters:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Family court decisions can have life or death consequences when domestic violence is involved. HB 2995 ensures that courts have clear statutory guidance to prioritize child safety.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Please Vote YES on HB 2995 – Child Safety First</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2161/lets-make-a-change</loc><lastmod>2025-02-13T08:55:19.433Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2161/lets-make-a-change"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>In the Comic studio people are getting banned for sharing their opinions!

Understanding and addressing these risks is essential for the safety of our mothers and babies; taking action is an absolute necessity.

Ohio has proposed a permitting system for data centers that would allow large volumes of water containing cooling chemicals to be returned to our streams, rivers, and drinking water sources, including Lake Erie. Research indicates that maternal health near data centers suffers significant consequences, with links to increased rates of premature births, birth defects, and miscarriages.

The discharged water causes thermal pollution, which exacerbates existing nutrient pollution and harmful algae blooms. Furthermore, the nitrogen and phosphorus in this discharge can kill fish and damage our ecosystem. Without limits on these nutrients, the safety of food sourced from these waterways is compromised. Additionally, there are currently no mechanisms to monitor PFAS or other added chemicals in the runoff from these centers.

Ohio mothers are already at a crisis point: one in four mothers does not see their baby’s first birthday, and one in ten babies is born premature. Last year alone, nearly 14,000 babies were born prematurely. With preeclampsia, hypertension, and preterm births already on the rise, we must consider the additional toll these data centers will take on our community.

Please sign the petition today and share this information with other mothers. There is power in knowledge, and we must empower each other to protect our health and our children.

Let’s save the babies.

We are tired of being mistreated, not feeling safe, being scammed, or being stolen from. No matter how much proof we provide to Uber, we still suffer the injustice of their ways. High volumes of customer deliveries have been stolen, packages not delivered, being dropped off in unsafe/ wrong locations, or being charged insane prices for trips their drivers put in their own hands. We, as upstanding Americans and loyal customers, should not have to put up with this.&lt;p&gt;Along with it comes disrespect, unprofessional customer support, and the usual "There's nothing we can do" response. Either Uber will change its corrupt ways, or we'll boycott it. We don't care how you view us because of this action. Uber tells us we are valued customers, so why are we not treated as such?

It ensures a thorough consideration of allegations or historical instances of abuse before making custody decisions and prohibits unconventional, experimental  treatments like coercive therapy between a child and an abusive parent or caregiver&amp;#8212;aligning with the recommendations of professional medical and mental health bodies and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges Judicial Guidebooks.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your support for this bill would not only manifest Tennessee's commitment to child safety but would also position you as a pivotal participant in the protection of our state&amp;#8217;s most vulnerable citizens.

This bill ensures that education in New York truly reflects the rich tapestry of backgrounds, cultures, and voices that make up our state.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With a $25 million appropriation, Bill S2547 will:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Require schools to integrate culturally responsive education at every grade level&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Honor and advance students’ cultural, linguistic, and racial experiences&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Support educators in relating academic content to the lived experiences of their students&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Launch a pilot program to lead the way for statewide change&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Why act now?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Research shows that culturally responsive education improves student outcomes and fosters a sense of belonging and pride. By supporting Bill S2547, you help ensure that every student can see themselves in what they learn, preparing them for a brighter, more inclusive future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join the movement to support inclusive history in New York schools. Let’s work together to create classrooms where every story matters.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Support Inclusive History with Bill S2547</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2474/testing2</loc><lastmod>2025-03-29T16:53:43.292Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2474/testing2"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Testing testing testing</image:caption><image:title>Testing</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2263/mejores-escuelas-en-mccamey-isd-para-la-comunidad</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T18:17:36.478Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2263/mejores-escuelas-en-mccamey-isd-para-la-comunidad"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Estimada Junta Escolar de McCamey ISD,&lt;p&gt;Estoy interesado/a en el éxito de nuestro sistema educativo local porque es la base que garantiza que nuestra juventud y comunidad prosperen.

They predate dinosaurs and even trees. Despite this, in just three decades, shark populations have plummeted by 80% with the IUCN listing at least two-thirds of sharks as vulnerable or threatened. The shark fin trade is a primary cause of this drastic decline.&amp;#160;Continuing to carry shark fins as cargo helps continue this sad trend toward the extinction of these species.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As apex predators, sharks play a crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. They keep marine populations balanced by preying on weak and sick individuals, an essential role for ocean health. Declining shark populations are producing negative, significant and far-reaching consequences, impacting not only the stability of marine wildlife communities but also the food supply of millions of people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please help us urge United Airlines join the growing number of airlines prohibiting the transport of shark fins and take a stand against the shark fin trade.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Prohibit The Transport Of Shark Fins</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2093/demanding-release-of-us-child-from-israeli-detention</loc><lastmod>2025-02-01T01:19:08.244Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2093/demanding-release-of-us-child-from-israeli-detention"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fdemanding-release-of-us-child-from-israeli-detention?alt=media&amp;token=9bc2dc86-47e3-4638-888c-d6ec413b55d9</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I write with urgent concern regarding the detention of an American child by Israeli Defense Forces in the village of Kafar Naema in the West Bank. This child, Ghassan Bashir Daraldeek, 12 years old, was  detained after violent settler attacks and unauthorized raids of his village, has both asthma as well as a heart defect and urgently needs medical attention.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;He was taken by Israeli soldiers on January 25th, 2025 and has been unlawfully held since.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;The situation is dire. Detaining a vulnerable child, a US citizen, in a conflict zone is unacceptable. The physical and psychological risks are immense. The United States must act now to ensure the child’s immediate release. Neither the family nor their lawyers have been allowed to meet or speak with the child, and his current whereabouts are unknown.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Reports indicate that the village of Kafar Naema has been subjected to escalating settler violence and raids. The detention of this child, amidst such circumstances, is deeply troubling and raises urgent questions about the treatment of minors, particularly American citizens, in the region. The psychological and physical toll on a young individual subjected to detention in a conflict zone cannot be overstated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;As an elected official, you have the authority and responsibility to advocate for the rights and protection of American citizens abroad. I urge you to take immediate action by:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;1. Demanding the child’s immediate release from detention through direct communication with Israeli authorities.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;2. Ensuring diplomatic pressure is applied to address and prevent future violations of the rights of American citizens in the region.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;3. Calling for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child’s detention and the broader context of settler violence in the area.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Time is critical. Please raise this issue with the State Department and other relevant agencies without delay. Protecting American citizens, especially children, is a moral and national imperative.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Thank you for your immediate attention.

That decision should be met with support and resources, never barriers or shame. Abortion should be easy to access, no matter how much money you make, where you live, or your age, race, immigration status, or gender identity. The Reproductive Freedom Act campaign is using organizing and advocacy to advance policy that repeals Georgia’s medically-unnecessary abortion restrictions and makes abortion care accessible to everyone who needs it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;When a person decides to have an abortion, they should have access to timely, safe, legal, and affordable abortion care without having to fear shame, stigma, punishment, or systemic violence. 

But Georgia has passed a host of medically-unnecessary, politically motivated laws that restrict abortion access and fall hardest on those of us who already deal with discriminatory barriers to healthcare—Black, Indigenous, and other people of color; immigrants, women, queer and trans folks, and young people; rural Georgians and people working to make ends meet.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>The Reproductive Freedom Act</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1447/give-us-what-we-want-apple</loc><lastmod>2022-10-04T16:58:45.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1447/give-us-what-we-want-apple"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>as customers of the apple company our voices should be heard !

Here's what I said&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;Hi
I am thirteen years old although I can't vote but I have some questions for you Mr Trump.

How can you not like DEI when there's so much DEI in the God's creation? I have seen a lot all over the place like clouds,dogs,,cats, trees, apples, lettuce grapes and other stuff. God did this so we don't get bored. And if DEI was such a problem why there so many diverse motor vehicles so many diverse TV channels so many diverse places to eat. I bet you never eat the same thing eirregular. I am not a criminal just because I came out of my mom's womb  not a toy factory where there is hardly any irregulars. From the womb you don't know what to expect.
And why are you giving Mr Musk money that was used to help people? You are still spending and not saving. Making it harder for my generation to deal with things because you are old and don't other people need like the Department of Education so we can learn to help us get jobs to buy stuff, or Social Security for old or disabled people, or the Veterans Affairs for people who gave their time and their blood sweat tears for you to be able to do so much that you do where is their thank yous? If I could I would fire you from your job because you are not thinking about hard workers anywhere in the US you old man just as old as the electrical system that will be hard to fix since there is no Department of Education.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Trevor&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Let's fire Trump </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2447/allow-animals-in-canadian-hospitals-with-their-ill-parents</loc><lastmod>2025-03-20T12:15:40.623Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2447/allow-animals-in-canadian-hospitals-with-their-ill-parents"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fallow-animals-in-canadian-hospitals-with-their-ill-parents?alt=media&amp;token=429fc21c-9348-4b95-af0a-07e10edfabc7</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Imagine being in the hospital, facing a serious illness, feeling isolated and afraid—now imagine the comfort of having your beloved pet by your side. For many Canadians, animals are more than just pets; they are family, emotional support, and a source of healing.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Studies have shown that the presence of animals can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve overall well-being. Yet, most hospitals in Canada do not allow patients to have visits from their pets, depriving them of this crucial emotional support during some of the most challenging moments of their lives.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We believe that compassionate healthcare should include the option for patients to be reunited with their animals in a safe and controlled manner.

This leaves students with a lack of information about their reproductive health. Currently, LAUSD only equips High School students with one semester of health, and sex ed is taught for roughly a week during the courses curriculum plan. Students arent being educated enough to make the right choices and it's ruining their lives. In fact ¨ An alarming 48% of sexually active high school students in LAUSD in 2019 did not use a condom during their last sexual intercourse, while in 2015, 37.7% did not. Moreover, 24.3% of LAUSD high schoolers did not use any method to prevent pregnancy during their last sexual intercourse in 2019, compared to 15.7% in 2015¨ (YRBS 2019)

This landmark legislation, introduced in January 2025 and currently moving through the legislative process, aims to establish a culturally responsive education curriculum and standards for all public, charter, and private schools. At its core, this bill recognizes that a diverse and inclusive approach to teaching history and social studies is essential for students to see themselves reflected in their education and to prepare them for a global society.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recent community discussions and advocacy efforts have highlighted the urgent need for inclusive history education—especially as our classrooms grow more diverse. Advocates point out that culturally responsive teaching not only supports students’ unique backgrounds but also improves educational outcomes and fosters greater empathy and understanding. New York stands at the forefront of this movement, with grassroots supporters mobilizing to ensure every child has access to a curriculum that celebrates their identity and history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your voice matters. By uniting in support of Bill S2547, we can ensure that all students benefit from an education that acknowledges and uplifts the many cultures, languages, and experiences that make up our communities. Together, let’s build a future where every student feels valued and empowered to succeed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Establish&lt;/b&gt; a statewide standard for inclusive, culturally responsive education&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Require&lt;/b&gt; all schools—public, charter, and private—to integrate these standards at every grade level&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support&lt;/b&gt; educators with resources and funding to implement these vital changes&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Support Bill S2547 for Inclusive History</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2011/stop-the-proposed-rental-price-increase-at-eastlake-club-apts</loc><lastmod>2025-01-16T22:02:33.060Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2011/stop-the-proposed-rental-price-increase-at-eastlake-club-apts"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fstop-the-proposed-rental-price-increase-at-eastlake-club-apts?alt=media&amp;token=d6825d57-0ae6-4ec6-a75f-f3c3acfa5118</image:loc><image:caption>The proposed rental price increase at Eastlake Club apartments of $200 per month has raised significant concerns among its tenants. This increase represents an immense financial burden on residents, many of whom are already finding it challenging to meet their existing rental obligations. Concurrently, the quality of services at Eastlake Club apartments has seen a decline. Unresolved issues ranging from mold and bug infestations to disruptive neighbors profoundly impact residents' quality of life and safety. In a country where a third of the population spends more than 30% of their income on rent (Census Bureau), we believe this rise in rent should be reconsidered. Affordable, safe, and well-maintained housing should not be a luxury but a norm. Hence, let's work together for a more equitable Eastlake Club, where housing is affordable, and quality of life is preserved. Please sign this petition to urge the management of Eastlake Club apartments to rethink their decision on this proposed rental increase.</image:caption><image:title>Stop the Proposed Rental Price Increase at Eastlake Club Apts</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2135/request-to-amend-ordinance-and-allow-backyard-chickens</loc><lastmod>2025-03-07T15:32:23.291Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2135/request-to-amend-ordinance-and-allow-backyard-chickens"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Frequest-to-amend-ordinance-and-allow-backyard-chickens?alt=media&amp;token=319251db-a420-45e7-be1d-396292d55302</image:loc><image:caption>Backyard chickens boast immense advantages, contributing to sustainability and food security by providing fresh eggs, natural fertilizer, and pest control.&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sustainability &amp;amp; Food Security&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Fresh, local eggs reduce reliance on store-bought food.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Chickens contribute to a more self-sufficient community.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;Waste Reduction &amp;amp; Environmental Benefits&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Chickens eat food scraps, reducing household waste.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Their manure can be composted into natural fertilizer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They help control pests like ticks and insects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;Educational Opportunities&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Families, especially children, learn about animal care and food production.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Schools and community programs can incorporate backyard chickens into their curriculum.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Low Impact Compared to Other Pets&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Chickens are quieter than barking dogs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Properly maintained coops do not cause significant odor issues.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Economic Benefits&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Households can save money on eggs and fertilizer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Local businesses benefit from selling feed, coops, and supplies.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Successful Precedents&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Many towns in Huron county, and surrounding urban areas, have successfully allowed backyard chickens with reasonable regulations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Problems can be mitigated with rules on coop size, setbacks, and flock limits.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Amending local legislations to permit backyard chickens is an essential step toward promoting urban agriculture and self-sufficiency.

You state in your letter that you did not have enough evidence to prosecute her for a violation of the Medical Practice Act. You do, you just don't want to because it was her first offense. The medical board was given&amp;#160; proof of her altering medical records after the fact to hide what she did as well as recordings showing that she did what was alleged when I spoke with Dr. Carey. The North Carolina Medical Board owes it to the general public and women of North Carolina to take a strong public action condemning what Dr. Noor did to show women in our state that they are not at risk of sexual assault when going to the gynecologist. So, we ask you to reconsider the lack of a public action and change the ruling against Dr. Noor. We are asking that you write a public letter of concern stating that her actions did not meet the standard of care, require she go through 50 hours of continuing education on informed consent, and that she have a board trained monitor/chaperone with her for the next six months to ensure she doesn't repeat this behavior. This is especially important because Dr. Noor is a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon and is in intimate sensitive areas of her patient's bodies daily. Allie (the complainant) has a TikTok following of over 28,000 and has brought to light what has happened. I'm doing so, many other patients of Dr. Noor have reached out saying the same or similar has happened to them but they were too scared to speak out. So we ask you to take action to ensure Dr. Noor doesn't keep hurting her patients.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor Roy Cooper, we ask you to make the North Carolina Medical Board reexamine the case and change their ruling to show the women of North Carolina that they don't have to fear going to the gynecologist.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We won't stop talking or making noise until Dr. Noor faces repercussions for her actions.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Hold Dr. Noor Majed Dasouki Abu-Alnadi Accountable </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2269/mejores-escuelas-en-rankin-isd-para-la-comunidad</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T18:26:32.512Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2269/mejores-escuelas-en-rankin-isd-para-la-comunidad"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Estimada Junta Escolar de Rankin ISD,&lt;p&gt;Estoy interesado/a en el éxito de nuestro sistema educativo local porque es la base que garantiza que nuestra juventud y comunidad prosperen.

Paying basketball players see this as gentrification to strategically push out the basketball demographic for "older and more stable paying members". It appears that lifetime is a sponsor of pickleball events and so many can speculate this as favoritism.

On a small scale, They have pushed out 50 consistent Basketball members for 50 undetermined Pickleball members. If this was indeed a smart business, they would keep the hoops up for the 50 consistent basketball members and schedule days for the interested pickleball players. They could forecast growth in their business by having both. That's 100 Basketball Players and (potential) Pickleball Players combined instead of forsaking 50 members for another 50 members. Just imagine these numbers on a larger scale. 

Every day at varying times, pickleball players fail to show up. Meanwhile, 50 basketball players show up every day committed and waiting to play. Summer season is coming to an end and basketball players will be seeking refuge indoors. The numbers for basketball are growing and Lifetime is turning them away. We are asking Lifetime fitness to read the room for a better solution and give us our hoops back.</image:caption><image:title>Bring Back Basketball @ Lifetime Fitness</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1522/a-nickelodeon-power-rangers-series-in-2024-2025</loc><lastmod>2023-01-17T22:11:33.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1522/a-nickelodeon-power-rangers-series-in-2024-2025"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>A Nickelodeon Power Rangers series </image:caption><image:title>A Nickelodeon Power Rangers series in 2024 2025</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1380/cohasset-golf-club-pool-facility-interest</loc><lastmod>2022-09-23T08:12:42.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1380/cohasset-golf-club-pool-facility-interest"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Over the last several years the CGC member growth of young families has been exponential.

Upon detailed comparison of Kimmel’s work with original sources, it has come to light that  Marek Kimmel has extensively plagiarized material, presenting others’ ideas as his own without proper attribution.    Everyone is the victim of Marek Kimmel's plagiarism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marek Kimmel's book "branching processes in biology" is plagiarism   Kimmel’s book, Branching Processes in Biology, contains extensive copied material without proper attribution. Kimmel neither uses quotations marks, nor cites the sources the end of the passages, which makes it difficult for readers to discern original contributions. By misrepresenting other people’s work as his own, Kimmel is misattributing original authorship.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Marek Kimmel’s plagiarism has detrimental effects on multiple levels.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Devaluation of original works&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;By taking credit for other people’s ideas without proper attribution, Marek Kimmel is not only depriving original authors of the recognition they deserve, but also is misleading the public about the true source of the ideas. Intellectual theft like this erodes trust in academic work and contributes to an overall decline in the quality of scholarship. If Marek Kimmel’s plagiarism goes unpunished, it can ultimately degrade the overall quality of academic work, and dilute the credibility of the entire academic field.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Distortion of the educational system&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;When students and scholars observe that Kimmel’s plagiarism is not only tolerated but also rewarded, it sends a harmful message that intellectual dishonesty can be a shortcut to success. Kimmel’s actions, if left unchallenged, could encourage a culture where students feel disincentivized to develop their own ideas and may resort to cheating or copying others' work. This, in turn, could lead to a generation of scholars who are less focused on original thought and critical analysis, contributing to a culture of mediocrity and diminishing the value of academic education.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;3. Stifling innovation and harm to society&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The consequences of Kimmel’s academic dishonesty can extend far beyond academia. If Kimmel’s plagiarized book influences public policy, or innovation, it could result in flawed or misleading information being used in decision-making processes. Given that Kimmel is working in fields like medicine, biology, and life sciences, Kimmel’s plagiarism could lead to harmful consequences for public health and safety, potentially even endangering lives. The stifling of innovation and the spread of misinformation due to academic dishonesty can have wide-reaching, negative consequences for society as a whole.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Given the gravity of this issue, we respectfully urge the following actions:
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;1.    Deterrence of academic dishonesty&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scholars, researchers, students, and the general public all lose when Marek Kimmel achieves success via plagiarism. It is important for law enforcement (e.g. Texa Attorney General's office)  to protect public interest, and to  prosecute Marek Kimmel for the theft of intellectual property&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;2.  Retraction of NIH and NSF funds&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Tax-payers money have been wasted on plagiarist Marek Kimmel.  National Institutes of Health  and National Science Foundation must  retract the funds that have been granted to Marek Kimmel.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Removal of Kimmel from educational system&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Marek Kimmel sets a dangerous precedent for students and scholars, and  creates an environment where shortcuts, such as copying others’ work, are seen as an acceptable route to success. Relevant agencies  should enforce strong penalties on Marek Kimmel.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The above is the tip of the iceberg.

If so, please read on...

The St. Gregory aftercare program was one of the very best things about our school and community. Families decided to attend St. Gregory's because of the total package of school plus aftercare. 

The people working at aftercare are our Parishioners, neighbors, and friends. How many jobs are we eliminating from our community as a result of this change? I know when I send my kids to aftercare that they are taken care of and loved. 

This past week it was confirmed that the only days the children might see people from our previous aftercare arrangement would be on a 12pm dismissal (~10 days remaining this school year). The rest will be handled by LeGarza.

The decision to outsource aftercare was made without parent input and was advertised as a comparable program that included two people from our previous aftercare program. The new LeGarza program is not comparable in price or flexibility. The past week I watched parents scramble and stressed, kids walk home unattended, and general chaos at pickup due to last-minute emergencies.

The communication about this change has been vague and misleading.

I would like the opportunity to discuss the aftercare concerns with the school and Parish administration and proactively develop a solution that works for both the school and the parents.</image:caption><image:title>Bring back SGS aftercare!</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1433/get-the-escaping-prison-mini-game-in-bitlife-easier</loc><lastmod>2022-10-02T17:11:47.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1433/get-the-escaping-prison-mini-game-in-bitlife-easier"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Have you ever gone to prison in BitLife and tried to escape but then became furious because it’s so very difficult well we are trying to send a message to BitLife to make their game more enjoyable!</image:caption><image:title>Get the escaping prison mini game in BitLife easier!!!!!</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1461/stop-hhc-from-taking-away-our-civil-rights</loc><lastmod>2022-12-07T12:18:54.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1461/stop-hhc-from-taking-away-our-civil-rights"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>This campaign is to demand that Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County to withdraw their petition to the US Supreme Court, which is scheduled to be seen on 11/8/22.

Recently, the Trump administration has faced multiple court orders regarding executive actions that directly affect national security, immigration, and civil rights. However, disturbing reports show persistent delays and outright challenges to the enforcement of these orders, threatening not just the affected individuals and organizations, but also the core of our democracy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This campaign calls on all concerned citizens to unite and call their members of congress, to speak up and demand that the Trump administration immediately comply with all standing court orders. When government officials defy judicial authority, they undermine the checks and balances that protect everyone’s rights and freedoms. Courts can—and must—hold the administration accountable, but public engagement is critical to ensuring these court rulings are observed without delay or resistance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join our call campaign today:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Raise your voice for justice and accountability.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Support the individuals and families whose lives hang in the balance as they await fair enforcement of court orders.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Protect the integrity of our legal system by demanding prompt government compliance with judicial decisions.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;We must act together to preserve the rule of law and uphold the promise of justice for all. Let’s make sure that court rulings are not mere suggestions—they are mandates that must be followed by every administration.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Defend the Rule of Law: Demand Compliance from the Trump Regime</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1986/unban-tiktok1</loc><lastmod>2025-01-12T23:27:15.717Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1986/unban-tiktok1"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Sign to unban tiktok hopefully</image:caption><image:title>Unban tiktok</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2247/mejores-escuelas-en-grandfalls-royalty-isd-para-la-comunidad</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T17:20:32.962Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2247/mejores-escuelas-en-grandfalls-royalty-isd-para-la-comunidad"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Estimada Junta Escolar de Grandfalls-Royalty ISD,&lt;p&gt;Estoy interesado/a en el éxito de nuestro sistema educativo local porque es la base que garantiza que nuestra juventud y comunidad prosperen.

I was completely in shock and at disbelief. I've been a loyal employee for my employer for 6 in a half years with a high reputation of good things from my customers as well as employees who I've worked with throughout the years. In the past year I've been dealing with being targeted and retaliated against because I'm a woman of color with a voice that feels that fairness should apply to everyone not to certain employees you don't like. For the past year I feel like I haven't had support for my managers. I feel like they have been trying to do what they can to tear me down. Work has become so toxic to the point I've had to take personal days just to protect my mental health. An employer is supposed to protect you not make you feel less than or discriminate against you. I'm letting my voice be heard not only because I need my job. I'm a strong candidate who works hard and try to make an impact and anyone I come across I'm fighting for myself and others that are in the same situation that don't feel comfortable speaking up for themselves. I pray a positive solution will come from this and that justice will be served.</image:caption><image:title>Justice For Alicia</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2257/stronger-monahans-wickett-pyote-isd-schools-for-my-child</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T21:01:31.241Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2257/stronger-monahans-wickett-pyote-isd-schools-for-my-child"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Superintendent,&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;As a parent in our community, I want to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for the future, equipping them with the skills for great jobs, lifelong learning &amp;amp; success.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I support:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Expanding access to high-quality public &amp;amp; charter public school options to meet the diverse needs of all students&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Retaining high-quality teachers by providing increased access to strong curriculum, comprehensive training, support &amp;amp; incentives&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Strengthening Career &amp;amp; Technical Education (CTE) programs to connect students with real-world work opportunities&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Creating safe learning environments for students &amp;amp; teachers

More than just a browser, Edge impacts your online experience—often favoring Microsoft's ecosystem over providing a truly user-centric approach. It’s time to take a stand for better browser standards that prioritize user experience and freedom of choice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why Boycott Microsoft Edge?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;User Control:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Users often face difficulties uninstalling Edge or making it their own. Browsers should be customizable, allowing users to choose their default settings effortlessly.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Data Privacy:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Edge has raised concerns about data privacy with its tracking and telemetry practices. Users deserve transparency and the assurance that their data is safe and not commoditized.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Performance Issues:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Despite claims of efficiency, Edge users frequently report performance issues such as slow load times and random crashes that disrupt their digital interactions.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;By boycotting Microsoft Edge, we voice our demand for open, reliable, and user-friendly web browsing experiences.

On behalf of my son, Blake McKay, I request your assistance in helping him receive the psychiatric care he both needs and deserves.  This care is being denied to him solely because of his disabilities which currently have resulted in his wearing a cast and being confined to a wheelchair.  I request your assistance in obtaining in-patient psychiatric care, for a 14-year old child in a wheelchair (short term) and changing the laws that allow this discrimination (long term).  I firmly believe your immediate intervention may help save Blake’s life and your persistent advocacy for this issue may save the lives of many other children with disabilities.  At the very least, if you are unable to personally help, I ask that you provide additional information which I can use to successfully obtain the appropriate psychiatric care for Blake as soon as possible.  
This issue effects many more families than just our own.  My son, and evidently a lot of children in our state, are in dire need of help and resources that have been denied by their healthcare providers due to their physical disabilities or handicaps. To illustrate the effects the denial of this care is having, and to inspire you to step in to make a change, I would like to share Blake’s story.
Blake is the middle of my three boys, and has had quite a life. When he was three months old we found out that, up to two weeks before he was born, he developed bilateral bleeds in his brain. The doctors, at that time, told us he would never be able to walk or talk.  They suspected he would be completely blind and we likely couldn’t expect him to even crawl. It was a very doom and gloom prognosis. But Blake is a fighter and we didn’t accept the doom and gloom. He is delayed, certainly, and has quite a bit of medical complexities.  Blake is turning 15 next month.  When he’s not recovering from orthopedic surgery and in a wheelchair, as he is now, he not only walks, he runs. He has a vast vocabulary, and was using words like “exacerbating” ACCURATELY at three years old. This boy is the definition of miracle. He came out of his childhood with some problems certainly. It’s always a journey and we’re always addressing things, but truly his quality of life thus far has been leaps and bounds beyond what any medical professional ever expected for him in his infancy. Along with his cerebral palsy, epilepsy, fragile x syndrome etc. he’s struggled psychiatrically since he was about 7 years old. He understandably suffers from anxiety. However, the alarming thing for us was, at 7 years old Blake started having auditory and visual hallucinations. He was hearing voices and they were telling him to hurt himself and others. Of course we got him help right away. We worked closely with a psychiatrist and a counselor etc. to ensure he had the help he needed. It was well managed on an outpatient basis until 2018. In 2018 he had his first psychiatric admission to a facility for suicide attempts, which he made due to his hallucinations. He did well after that admission until last April. Last April the voices were back.  While he was at school he climbed onto a table and was going to jump off the balcony over looking the cafeteria. He did not actually jump at that time, and we got him some inpatient services. 
He was doing well thereafter, from a psych perspective and we started addressing some of his physical issues again. He needed some orthopedic surgery done on his feet and his left leg. Thinking summer would be a great time to get as much of that done as possible, so he missed as little school as possible, we scheduled his first surgery for July. This surgery requires Blake to  wear a cast, and necessitates the use of a wheelchair.  Then, in August, he started hearing voices again. Despite having had an absolutely miserable experience during his hospitalization in April, he asked for help and said he was worried because the voices were telling him to hurt himself and he didn’t want to.  He was worried he wouldn’t be able to fight them off for long. 
Canyon Creek Behavioral Health, in Temple, Texas is where he went in April, so I called them right away. They were happy to take his info, said they had a bed for him, and could help, no problem. As we were getting off the phone, I mentioned that he is in a wheelchair as he is recovering from surgery and is non-weight bearing on his left leg. With his Cerebral Palsy his coordination isn’t the best and crutches aren’t a realistic option for him. They said they cannot accommodate his wheelchair or casted leg and advised me to take him to Scott and White Childrens ER and that they could find someone who could help. 
When we arrived at Scott and White we consulted with a social worker who absolutely agreed inpatient care was the only option that made sense at this time. She reached out to Canyon Creek directly to confirm what they told me. The staff at Canyon Creek clarified, it is not that they can’t accommodate the wheelchair; it is that they have a policy which requires them to view both the wheelchair and the cast as potential weapons.  They said they can’t accept anyone in them.  As someone who has worked in psychiatric facilities in other states, this makes no sense to me.  I can tell you, there were many patients with casts and confined to wheelchairs.  If those other facilities  excluded wheelchairs or casts from their populations, there would be A LOT of hurt and untreated people in the world. The idea that this restriction applies to CHILDREN is even more alarming to me. If children are in need of these services, they will certainly continue to need the services as an adult.  It seems to me the policies, here in Texas, are perpetuating an issue by denying services to an entire population of disabled people.
The social worker went on to call every facility from Dallas to Austin to try to find a place that would admit Blake with his wheelchair and cast. No facility would. They all acknowledged the psychiatric need, but wouldn’t make an exception for the wheelchair. We eventually met with a tele-psych doctor who basically said their hands are tied.  He suggested the increase of one of Blake’s current meds to see if it helps, combined with aggressive outpatient psychiatric treatment until Blake’s cast is off and he is on his feet. That’s how we have proceeded. We were doing daily check-ins, and the voices were at bay, until last week. 
Blake started school last Wednesday, and everything was fine. Thursday was another good day. I talked to him twice, and he was in good spirits. No voices. All was well, until I got a phone call around 2:00. The school advised me that there had been an accident. Blake and his wheelchair went down a flight of stairs. At that time, Blake was telling the school it was an accident, and that he flew around the corner too fast and fell. When they reviewed camera footage they found that was not true. They told me to come to the school.  When I arrived there were two police cars, a fire truck, and an ambulance. It was quite the scene. When I went in the police wanted to talk to me but I refused until I saw Blake and saw the video they had mentioned. I saw Blake and confirmed he was okay and talking to people.  I then went with the principal and watched the video. The video depicts Blake slowly approaching a stairwell and pulling forward towards the stairs, where he sits.  He then backs up, as if he changes his mind, then pulls forward again.  He did this a number of times. Then Blake turned his head appeared to be speaking to someone in the stairwell, but no one was there. Then, after a few more struggles/debates etc., the video shows Blake lunging himself and his wheelchair off the top of the stairs.  In the video, it is obvious he was struggling, he was alone, and he very deliberately, in that moment, did something that could have cost him his life.  It is important to note, one of the conditions Blake has, is a large cyst in the back of his brain, in his posterior fossa specifically.  Any head injury is extremely dangerous for Blake. The video footage would have been traumatizing for any other family, but with Blake’s medical condition, this was especially terrifying for us. 
After viewing the video footage, I talked to the police. They said since it was an obvious attempt at suicide or self-harm, they had to take him to the hospital. They said medically he was fine, they believed, but psychiatrically he needed to go. I told them, I was happy to have him screened medically but that the doctors wouldn’t help us psychiatrically because we had just attempted to have him admitted. I explained what happened a couple weeks prior.  The police officers called someone to verify what I said.  They then said they could take Blake on an emergency order of detention and the hospital wouldn’t have a choice; they would have to hold him for at least 36 hours.  That would have bought us some time to figure out  an option to keep him safe, and get him help. I agreed to that because the idea of finding help for him, especially since I had no idea what happened, was great. I had talked to Blake maybe an hour prior to the fall and he was fine. He had been excited to come home and talk to me about a Disney trip with choir. His throwing himself down the stairs, shortly thereafter, made no sense.  
When we arrived at the hospital I was able to talk to Blake and found out he wasn’t intentionally lying. He didn’t remember anything after seeing the stairwell, until he was on the ground. So he had filled in gaps in his memory with what made sense to him. He was extremely confused and concerned that since he didn’t remember what happened, he couldn’t anticipate or prevent it again. He wanted help. I was hopeful since the situation had escalated and a serious attempt had been made, with no precursor to indicate a problem, the medical professionals would be able to provide the much needed treatment.  Who would be considered more in need of inpatient services?  Evidently, not Blake.  The same social worker came in and told me she didn’t really know how she could help; all of the answers would still be the same. Until Blake’s cast and wheelchair are gone, Blake will be denied the inpatient psychiatric treatment he wants and so desperately needs.  The social worker also explained that she has this same issue with type 1 diabetic children. If they have an insulin pump, she generally can’t place them in psychiatric care facilities. For some reason in the state of Texas, it appears that children specifically can have physical handicaps, and psychiatric handicaps, but NEVER both at the same time. 
How could this be? This definitely seems to be a violation of the American Disabilities Act.  Psychiatric hospitals in Texas are denying access to entire populations of children, based on their physical disabilities. I have no idea how wide this net spreads. However, I can say if children need inpatient psychiatric services in Texas, they absolutely can not be in a wheelchair (and I presume that would also extend to walkers and crutches), have a cast of any sort, or have a need for an insulin pump, pain pump, or other medication administration pump. Given the wide range of reasons a child may need any of these things in an acute or chronic fashion, it seems like an incredibly large population of children are being denied fair access to required medical treatment. 
When we got to the hospital the same police officer that had just assured me Blake would be on a hold in the hospital for 36 hours, told me that they were releasing him into the hospitals care and if the hospital lifted the hold that was within their rights.  Thus, the police officer told me the hospital could do exactly what I feared they would, send Blake back home.   Not only did the hospital not do anything to assist us with placing Blake in a psychiatric unit, they failed to do any scans to ensure Blake hadn’t further injured his leg or sustained a brain injury.  I have contacted his orthopedic surgeon to follow up on our own, in that regard.  From my perspective, the only thing that came out of the trip to the hospital last Thursday, was someone sat in a room and observed Blake for four hours, then the doctors told us he seemed fine and was very lucky.  The unspoken message we received was Blake just wasn’t worthy of help.  
I told everyone we encountered at the hospital that I was uncomfortable with the treatment plan, and that Blake and I were both afraid for him, and his safety. Since he didn’t remember the event, there was no way for Blake to recognize when something was happening and to prevent another life-threatening incident.  The ER doctor came in and said “Once he’s out of the wheelchair, we’ll be happy to help him” to which my reply was rather snarky and sarcastic. I said “Yeah, if he survives until then!” The emergency room doctor looked me dead in my eyes and said “Yeah, unfortunately.” 
I absolutely recognize that the doctor, the social worker, the nurses, the police officers etc. are all stuck working in a broken system. A system that has allowed for this very blatant discrimination for evidently a very long time. A system that denied help to a boy, with a psychiatric history, based on his physical needs and limitations. A system that, because of a physical limitation, further denied help to a boy brought in by law enforcement and EMS for a serious suicide attempt. However, it is that exact limitation that made this incident measurably more dangerous. It increases the need for help, yet, it’s the very reason help has been denied. 
This has made me sick for my own child for weeks now, and I’ve had many sleepless nights since his incident with the stairs. I understand there is probably very little you can do to get Blake the help he needs in this moment. However, to be honest, his needs will likely continue beyond this immediate need. Blake will undoubtedly require further orthopedic surgery and the subsequent use of a wheelchair.  If his psychiatric needs arise again at the same time he is undergoing orthopedic care, this situation will reoccur.  I see a long term need for change, not only for my child, but ANY child with a physical limitation and a psychiatric need. 
Statistically, the odds of a child having a need for psychiatric services increases with physical handicaps but somehow access is restricted for that population of children. It doesn’t make sense. It seems grossly discriminatory, and unjust. It seems as if it is setting these kids up for a more detrimental need for services as adults, assuming they survive their ailments. Because for children like my child, it isn’t as simple as treating a depression, or an outward emotion. There aren’t warning signs. He has a delusion he believes to be true, or he hears a voice in his head telling him to do something, and now, he’s unable to fight or control it. He’s a happy boy, a bright boy, with dreams for the future and who has fought so hard his ENTIRE life to be where he is. He’s asking for help. Begging for it actually, and he’s being denied because of a physical need.
 I even asked if he could be admitted to the children's hospital until his cast could be removed so we knew he was safe and then we could get him into a facility as quickly as possible.  That request was also denied.  We were simply pushed out the door. I think we made them uncomfortable. They knew they couldn’t help, so they wanted us out. I asked for advice and guidance on how to keep him safe, if he should go to school etc. and no one could really help. 
I feel like there should be some sort of legislation protecting these children. Facilities that are Medicaid participating etc. should have to abide by the ADA and allow fair access for these kids to get services. The fact that ALL of these facilities can deny him for the reason of his wheelchair and cast is absolutely nauseating. The fact that children with insulin pumps aren’t allowed access and are openly denied services because of their medication pump is nauseating. Someone needs to protect these kids and some of the facilities should be stepping up to provide access to these kids. 
It doesn’t have to be ALL facilities.  I’d happily travel, if someone would be willing to help him. But apparently this is a universally accepted practice here.  There is no distance I’ve been able to find, that we can go to get services. 
Is there anything you can do? Any guidance you can provide? Any awareness you can help give? Anything at all? I’m grasping at straws and intend to reach out to anyone and everyone I can think of to try and help my son and the rest of our communities’ underserved, medically complex children.

Through a path of apathy, greed, and mismanagement, our governmental and economic systems of operation have created an environment that appears to be rendering aid in order to speed its own demise.

These acts of economic manipulation, destabilization of national strength, and the picking of winners and losers in business through crony capitalism have crippled entrepreneurship and small business, threatening the very fabric that provides 99% of the jobs in our country.

Communities and environments where entrepreneurship is the path to a better life and building generational wealth - are provided endless lip service, but few tangible steps that allow for meaningful results that change lives for the better. As a result, creators and producers are made to struggle, burdened with undue expense and regulation, and provided little of the nuts-and-bolts education and assistance needed to build enterprises that create true, significant, long term generational opportunity.

Instead, tin pot dictators in the public and private sectors conspire to have a few enterprises control the means of product, distribution, and access, forcing others to shut down or be squeezed for their market share. Many of those who trumpet free market economics for everyone are instead focused on eliminating competition, stealing intellectual property, and convincing the masses that they are changing the world for the better.

As the framers and signers of the Declaration of Independence said on July 4, 1776, “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable Rights, among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness…” and that “…Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

By duty, we are bound to act where others refuse, and to empower those who desire to do the same - to right the ills that are a clear and present danger to us today. Through our businesses, organizations, and affiliations, we pledge to expand our work with like minds to reverse the ills done to our nation, our economy, and our fellow citizens, through the power of a Nation-State – an environment where like minds and interests can harness their intellectual, social, and economic capital to achieve these ends.

We commit to continue to share the truth, our skills, our knowledge, and our resources to eliminate opportunity deserts in communities by driving entrepreneurship, incubating, and accelerating the principles of generational wealth, properly educating the next generation on our history, and breaking man-made generational curses designed to suppress and oppress.

As did those that came before us, we Declare our Independence from crony capitalist power brokers, their minions, and their despotic systems. For support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we pledge our Lives, Our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

If passed, this bill would criminalize homelessness, penalizing those who have nowhere else to go instead of addressing the root causes of housing insecurity. Rather than offering real solutions, HB 2382 imposes fines and legal consequences on individuals who are already struggling to survive.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We must take a stand against policies that punish poverty instead of alleviating it. This bill does not create housing, provide support services, or address the rising cost of living—it only pushes vulnerable individuals further into crisis. Everyone deserves access to safe and stable shelter, and criminalization is not the answer.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why You Should Oppose HB 2382:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Criminalizing homelessness&lt;/b&gt; will not solve the housing crisis—it only makes life harder for those in need.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Taxpayer dollars&lt;/b&gt; should go toward housing and support services, not law enforcement actions against the unhoused.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Compassionate solutions&lt;/b&gt; like affordable housing, mental health care, and job support are proven to reduce homelessness.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We need humane policies that uplift people, not push them further into hardship. Let your voice be heard—urge the Senate to reject HB 2382 and advocate for real solutions that protect and support our unhoused community.&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Oppose House Bill 2382 in the Senate - Protect the Unhoused</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1974/a-veterans-time</loc><lastmod>2025-01-11T21:17:23.198Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1974/a-veterans-time"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>To whom it may concern: I am a United States marine.

The allowance to rezone for out-of-state billionaire Joe Ricketts' Upper Hoback resort and multi-millionaire California real estate developers Jason (Smee Homes Inc/CA and Rim Realty Inc/WY) and Melinda Moyes' (Melson Realty/CA and Rim Realty Inc/WY) 40 Rod property for monetary gain is contradictory to community virtue. Jason and Melinda Moyes, who recently relocated from California to Sublette County, are now attempting to either Rezone or attempt to receive a CUP (Conditional Use Permit) from our county commissioners in order to be legally allowed to utilize their recently acquired high acreage parcel, located across from the Rim Station (which the Moyes recently purchased), in order to develop this large Rim acreage commercially. On 9/15/22, the Sublette County Planning and Zoning Board unanimously rejected the CUP of this new Moyes financial venture at the Rim that was proposed through a request for a Conditional Use Permit because they felt it would be more difficult to rezone. As with Ricketts rezoning, the new Moyes Rim conditional use request will be presented before the County commissioners again following the unanimous rejection of the Planning and Zoning Board. Once again, Bousman, White and Noble have the ability to disregard community sentiment and the requirements for rezoning and dismiss recommendations of the Zoning Board assigned to qualify rezoning. Commercial development of our cherished ultra rural A1 zoned county space by individuals with no respect for community virtues, through the practice of hiring Rio Verde Engineering and out of state parties to produce short sited documents, once again will allow ultra rich out of state developers the ability to permanently alter our community and threaten a multitude of wildlife corridors. Please sign, and forward to neighbors, this petition in opposition of Bousman, White and Noble's continued disregard to abide by protocol established through the 10 requirements to rezone or allow for a conditional use permit. Please write your feelings regarding rezoning and CUP past, present and future developments through critical migration corridors. In your letters to commissioners please include your demand that they explain how their past, present and future votes specifically relate to each of the 10 rules for rezoning/allowance of conditional use permits and please be in attendance of the Oct 4th commissioners meeting that will decide the outcome of this outstanding request.

His mind, heavy with worries no child should carry, drifts between hunger, loneliness, and the fear of never catching up. Some days, his thoughts race so fast that he can’t keep up; other days, they sink like stones in a deep, dark well. He needs a teacher who will guide him, a counselor who will listen, and a hand to pull him from the shadows of his own mind.

No notable work has been done to re-open Caxambas other than the County has re-designed the park's landscaping in such a way as to reduce the already severely inadequate number of available parking spots. This park has been closed since Hurricane Ian destroyed its floating dock, and to date the County has not provided any kind of notice to the public of any construction progress or of expected opening date. The extensive closure of this marina is unacceptable to the boating public, the residents of Collier County, the visitors to Collier County, and the tour guides whose livelihood is dependent upon access to the water. </image:caption><image:title>Tell Collier County to Open Caxambas Park &amp; Increase Car Parking</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1738/boone-county-ky-board-of-education-do-not-ban-lgbt-book</loc><lastmod>2024-01-12T20:02:54.565Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1738/boone-county-ky-board-of-education-do-not-ban-lgbt-book"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2FBoone%20County%20(KY)%20Board%20of%20Education%20-%20Do%20Not%20Ban%20LGBT%2B%20Book?alt=media&amp;token=0a020899-e480-4016-981c-8ee2634bab5e</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;UPDATE! &amp;#160;The Board of Education denied the parents request and this book was NO BANNED!!&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Thank you to everyone who participated!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One parent has challenged the book &amp;#34;Endlessly Ever After: Pick YOUR Path to Countless Fairy Tale Endings!&amp;#34; by Laurel Snyder under Kentucky's new law.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Boone County Board of Education will be reviewing the complaint that this book is &amp;#34;harmful to children.&amp;#34; &amp;#160;Why do they claim that it is harmful to children?

Steven was a kind, selfless man who would give the shirt off his back to help anyone in need. He came from a good family and touched the lives of many with his compassion and generosity. His untimely death has left a void in the hearts of his friends, family, and the community that will never be filled.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On behalf of Steven, we call on the Fulton County District Attorney, Micheal Poulin, and the Fulton County Sheriff's Office to take immediate action to ensure the perpetrators are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Currently, the charges against Anastasia Lott and Stephen Dingman—tampering with evidence for Lott and first-degree assault as well as criminal possession of a weapon for Dingman—are woefully inadequate. These charges fail to reflect the severity of their actions, which resulted in Steven’s death after he succumbed to his injuries in the hospital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The undersigned demand that the prosecution elevate the charges against Anastasia Lott and Stephen Dingman to first-degree premeditated murder under New York Penal Law §125.27. If the prosecution disagrees with this charge, we demand the following:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. A full and detailed explanation of why first-degree premeditated murder is not deemed an appropriate charge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. A detailed justification for why the current charges—tampering with evidence and first-degree assault—are appropriate given the circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. An assessment of alternative charges that could be pursued, along with descriptions of the legal elements of those charges.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Complete transparency with Steven Tryon's immediate family, including access to all evidence in this case and a document that explains how the evidence supports the charges pursued.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We also request that this matter be resolved promptly. We set a reasonable deadline of 30 days for the Fulton County District Attorney's Office and the Sheriff's Office to meet these demands. Failure to act decisively will not only erode public trust in the judicial system and law enforcement but also send a message of indifference to the community that is grieving Steven's loss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York State Penal Law, including §125.27 (first-degree murder) and other relevant statutes, supports the pursuit of justice in cases like this. It is imperative that the charges reflect the true nature of the crime and that the community sees justice served.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Steven Tryon’s friends, family, and the local community deserve better. The lack of swift and decisive action undermines faith in our judicial system and law enforcement. We will not stand by as this injustice persists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please join us in demanding accountability and justice for Steven Tryon. Together, we can ensure that his memory is honored and that the perpetrators face the full weight of the law.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sign this petition to demand justice for Steven Tryon and to hold thos&lt;span&gt;e responsible accountable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Justice for Steven Tryon</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2175/fairfax-county-school-board-keep-inclusion-abandon-the-vhsl</loc><lastmod>2025-02-19T15:36:28.660Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2175/fairfax-county-school-board-keep-inclusion-abandon-the-vhsl"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Ffairfax-county-school-board-keep-inclusion-abandon-the-vhsl?alt=media&amp;token=ca19e0d8-b780-41c5-a24c-a75cdc416182</image:loc><image:caption>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The recent VHSL decision to explicitly exclude transgender students from VHSL activities contradicts Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) policies, and more notably, Virginia state and federal laws which prevent discrimination on the basis of gender identity.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;FCPS must continue to support ALL students and tell the VHSL that it will not abide by policies that violate existing state and federal laws.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;On February 10th the Virginia High School League (VHSL) reversed the promise made a week earlier by abandoning its ten year policy of allowing transgender students to participate in VHSL activities in accordance with their gender identity.&amp;nbsp; In doing so, they have abandoned their values and our students.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The decision to ban transgender students puts the VHSL in violation of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacodepopularnames/virginia-human-rights-act/" target="_blank"&gt;Virginia Values Act (VVA) of 2020&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.

Clean energy opponents have made egregious claims that these price hikes are the result of the passage of the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA) last year, and have even gone so far as to claim that the efforts to decarbonize our electric sector should be rolled back. 

These claims couldn’t be further from the truth. Prices for fossil fuels like coal and gas are spiking, in part from Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Additionally, resistance and poor planning from utilities like Ameren’s and the regional grid operator MISO to expand energy efficiency programs and grid upgrades to bring hundreds of new clean energy projects online are the central causes. 

Ameren IL has repeatedly fought to weaken energy efficiency programs in state legislation which are critically important to helping customers reduce bills and lower the overall demand for power on the electricity grid. Better leadership from Ameren IL on energy efficiency and programs to help customers reduce their demand for power during “peak demand” events, like heat waves, could have helped to mitigate the strain currently facing customers and our power grid. </image:caption><image:title>Ameren Energy Cost Increase</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1752/americafirst</loc><lastmod>2024-02-10T22:30:38.505Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1752/americafirst"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>this is it</image:caption><image:title>americafirst</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/529/tell-cable-companies-to-remove-fox-news-oann-and-newsmax</loc><lastmod>2022-05-16T16:32:03.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/529/tell-cable-companies-to-remove-fox-news-oann-and-newsmax"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>These conservative media outlets have been dangerously misinforming American people for years.

The forever-underdog city Buffalo and the best fans in the league are preparing for what is expected to be the most deserved and most enjoyable season ever. Unfortunately, a dark cloud has been hung over the season, as our team’s management is demonstrating a severe lack of character and consideration for the well-being of others—specifically women—by not cutting alleged rapist Matt Araiza. While the justice system has yet to rule on the pending civil case, the facts of the police report reveal Matt as having confirmed his sexual relationship with the then-minor, who is also seeking justice for shockingly worse sexual violence that is not worth including in this petition. The courts will do as they may, but demonstrate that Buffalo is truly an organization that values character, and that his actions are not ones that will ever be tolerated.   

Allow our team to be one we can root for wholeheartedly, instead of one that represents the continued indifference toward violence against women demonstrated by the NFL and so much of this country and world. Be the “character-first” team you claim to be for us by taking a stand and refusing to let this person to be a member of our team. </image:caption><image:title>Cut Matt Araiza from the Buffalo Bills </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2181/stronger-schools-for-my-child</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T16:16:39.500Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2181/stronger-schools-for-my-child"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Andrews School Board Member,&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;As a parent and community member, I want to make sure all students have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for the future, equipping them with the skills they need for great jobs, lifelong learning &amp;amp; success.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I support:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Expanding access to high-quality public &amp;amp; charter public school options to meet the diverse needs of all students&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Retaining high-quality teachers by providing increased access to strong curriculum, comprehensive training, support &amp;amp; incentives&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Strengthening Career &amp;amp; Technical Education (CTE) programs to connect students with real-world work opportunities&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Creating safe learning environments for students &amp;amp; teachers

Dorothy Kilgallen was an American columnist, reporter, radio and television personality. 

Her daily column for the New York Journal-American, "Voice of Broadway," was syndicated to 146 newspapers nationwide. By 1950 the column was estimated to have over 20 million readers and made the drama and eminence of the New York City theater scene tangible to all Americans. She was known across the country and especially around the city. Founder of the Stork Club, Sherman Billingsley, said, "[Kilgallen] was just about the biggest female celebrity around . . . she was Miss New York'". In 1960 the New York Daily News called her "The most powerful female voice in America".

She may be best-known for her 15 years as a panelist on the televised game show, "What's My Line," on which she was glamorous, charming, intelligent, and assertive. In 1936 she was the only female reporter to participate in a race around the world, a la Nellie Bly. She documented her journey in the book "Girl Around the World".

Dorothy and her husband, actor and Broadway producer Richard Kollmar, hosted a daily talk radio show on WOR from 1945 to 1963 called "Breakfast with Dorothy and Dick" from their East 68th Street home.

Besides her experience in entertainment, she was a dedicated and respected crime reporter. She did not shy away from contrarian opinions, most notably in the Sam Sheppard murder case and, in an investigation that may have cost her her life, the findings of the Warren Commission. She persistently sought the truth, never compromised the identity of her sources, and exemplified the obligation of a good reporter to provide the reader, whomever they may be, with the facts.

Dorothy had a hand in gilding Broadway's Golden Age, never let perceptions of her gender inhibit her ambitions, and changed perceptions with her successes.  

She died in 1965 at the age of 52. The official cause of death was barbiturate and alcohol intoxication, but the circumstances surrounding her death are suspicious and all of her files, containing her research on the assassination of JFK, had disappeared.

Having been denied justice, I want to ensure she won't be denied recognition.

Dorothy is officially "on the list" for a medallion, but there is a long queue! I want to show the Historic Landmarks Preservation Center, and the owners of the current building where the medallion will be placed, that the public has an interest in honoring the life of Dorothy Kilgallen.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent military actions ordered by the Trump administration against Venezuela. The reported directive from Pete Hegseth to “kill everybody” aboard alleged drug vessels raises serious ethical and constitutional questions about the use of military force without congressional approval.

These aggressive tactics not only undermine our democratic principles but also risk escalating tensions in the region. It is crucial that Congress conducts thorough oversight of these operations to ensure accountability and adherence to international law. 

I urge you to take a stand against this reckless approach and demand transparency from the administration. We must prioritize diplomacy and dialogue over military aggression.

In other words, Americans want no part of any bullshit war that Traitor Trump drags us into to avoid being prosecuted for being a child-raping criminal.

This cherished coffeehouse has been more than just a space to grab your favorite brew; it's been a haven for creativity, a sanctuary for the soul, and a vital link in our community's social network.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Danger:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The development proposal to replace Genuine Joe's with a complex of high-priced condos not only jeopardizes a historic and cultural icon but also threatens to change the very fabric of our neighborhood. This developments doesn't offer affordable housing, catering instead to wealthy investors, and displacing long-standing community members.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Ander is a luxury condo development that has forced GJ out of their lease so the property can be demolished.&amp;nbsp;While I am in favor of more housing and pro density, it should be affordable and not destroy part of the neighborhood culture unnecessarily. The Ander is not affordable housing, as the units range from $450,000 to $960,00, with the "affordable" units being a 1 bed, 1 bath that is 672 square feet. This is in the middle of a soft market for selling homes, and there are already over 100 homes up for sale in this zip code alone in The Ander price range, with most of them much larger than 1 bedroom and 672 square feet. There are also multiple "luxury" condo developments already built within a 5 mile radius that are largely unoccupied, which just makes it more likely this will be another building (if it is ever actually built after they demolish GJ). Additionally, the owner of GJ provides a safe place to stay for a local unhoused resident, who helps take care of the grounds. The Ander will displace this resident as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Why This Matters:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt; Genuine Joe's isn't just about coffee; it's about connection. It has been a platform for local artists, a meeting point for meaningful discussions, and a beacon for local culture. As big real estate invades, the risk of losing small businesses and safe spaces increases, draining our community of its unique charm and diversity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Our Stand:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; We refuse to stand by as the essence of our community is stripped away. We demand a halt to this destructive cycle of unaffordable development and assert the need for sustainable community-focused policies. Join us in our fight to preserve Genuine Joe’s and protect the integrity and affordability of our neighborhood!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With your support, we can halt this development, safeguard local culture, and champion for accessible, inclusive housing solutions that genuinely benefit all members of our community.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;"There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Petition owner: &lt;/b&gt;This petition is not owned or affiliated with the owner or any employee of Genuine Joe.

Without this information, your email may not help the cause. Thank you!!&lt;/p&gt;The Alec and Lydia Act (HB2995) is a commonsense, life-saving effort to strengthen how Arizona family courts protect children and families impacted by domestic violence and coercive control. This bill helps courts better recognize patterns of abuse—not just physical violence—and ensures that important safety concerns are fully considered when making custody and parenting decisions. It encourages thoughtful, informed decision-making by requiring clear findings and giving judges the tools to put appropriate protections in place, such as supervised visitation when needed. This legislation is important because too many families still face gaps in protection, and survivors often navigate complex systems while trying to keep their children safe. Alec and Lydia’s story is a heartbreaking reminder that more can be done—despite known concerns, the system did not fully safeguard them. The Alec and Lydia Act honors their lives by working to strengthen the system, support families, and help prevent future tragedies through greater awareness, accountability, and care in family court decisions.</image:caption><image:title>Please Pass The Alec and Lydia Act (HB 2995) in The AZ Senate </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/706/tell-senators-to-support-the-equality-act</loc><lastmod>2023-03-14T15:02:35.724Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/706/tell-senators-to-support-the-equality-act"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>LGBTQ+ Americans lack basic legal protections in states across the country.

He offered high interests rates as a ploy to trick unwitting people to hold their Crypto at Celsius Network. These unwitting people inevitably lost it all.

Faced with a sharp drop in the price of crypto, Alex boldly halted withdrawals and claimed ownership of his customers coins. In order to save himself, and his rich investors, he stole from the small powerless account holders. 

These selfish, economic criminals are a bane on society. These men are the reason that economic inequality is so vast. We cannot allow men like this to get away with thievery. They abuse justice and bankruptcy law to steal which punishes the little person trying their best to save, invest, and get ahead in life.

As such, Alex Mashinsky's assets should be seized and redistributed to those who had the unfortunate idea to hold their Crypto at Celsius Network. He should have to suffer the destitution that he caused to his customers. Then, after his assets are distributed, he should be deported and barred from ever reentering the United States or it's territories.</image:caption><image:title>Seize Assets then Deport Alex Mashinsky, CEO of Celsius Network</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2283/stronger-schools-for-our-roswell-isd-community</loc><lastmod>2025-02-21T19:14:51.626Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2283/stronger-schools-for-our-roswell-isd-community"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>Dear Roswell ISD Board,&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I’m deeply invested in our local education system’s success - it’s the foundation that ensures our youth and community thrive.

Insted of stopping the source of the issue by providing penalties or discipline to those specific individuals, the administration are making everyone wear a uniform. The administration didn't talk to the students about how they felt on a uniform policy. Admin spoke with parents. but not the people it would be effecting. If those in admin positions had spoken with students, I think a different agreement could have been reached.

Their reasoning is the content of the books, however, they’re only targeting recently added, queer-inclusive books and not books with heterosexual stories/characters with similar content that have been in the collection for years. 

We pledge to support the Bryan Public Library’s inclusive efforts. We pledge to stand against homophobic efforts to bully the library to censor their collection and ban books. We acknowledge that a public library should have books that represent the entire community, include diverse and challenging material, and not be governed by religious opinion.

By signing this pledge, we are showing public support for the library and vow to stand up and speak out against homophobic and any other political or religious bullying by way of book banning and censorship. We are also asking for city officials and community leaders to publicly show support for the library. 

We stand with the Bryan Public Library!</image:caption><image:title>We support the Bryan Public Library, not banning books. </image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1512/pass-the-afghan-adjustment-act</loc><lastmod>2022-12-20T15:48:51.000Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://img.youtube.com/vi/BqPDLiE8hmU/hqdefault.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Pass the Afghan Adjustment Act</video:title><video:description>This campaign aims to force Senate Majority Leader Schumer (D-NY) to bring the Afghan Adjustment Act to a floor vote as an amendment to ensure passage of the bill.</video:description><video:tag>Human Rights</video:tag><video:tag>Social Justice</video:tag><video:tag>International Aid</video:tag></video:video><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1512/pass-the-afghan-adjustment-act"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2FPass%20the%20Afghan%20Adjustment%20Act?alt=media&amp;token=dec6948e-3a30-4dc6-b230-855bd5d5f831</image:loc><image:caption>This campaign aims to force Senate Majority Leader Schumer (D-NY) to bring the Afghan Adjustment Act to a floor vote as an amendment to ensure passage of the bill.</image:caption><image:title>Pass the Afghan Adjustment Act</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2560/financiar-completamente-las-escuelas-de-somerville</loc><lastmod>2025-05-08T17:32:46.034Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2560/financiar-completamente-las-escuelas-de-somerville"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Ffinanciar-completamente-las-escuelas-de-somerville?alt=media&amp;token=0423a528-b5e5-4eee-b5b6-14946352129e</image:loc><image:caption>El alcalde, el ayuntamiento y el comité escolar necesitan escuchar de USTEDES, los votantes, que el financiamiento escolar es importante. Los maestros exigen un aumento del 10% en el presupuesto para que nuestros hijos tengan más recursos y puedan ganar un salario justo. Por favor, tómense un minuto para enviar una carta preescrita a nuestros líderes exigiendo que lo hagan posible. Solo agreguen su nombre, dirección/distrito y la escuela a la que asisten sus hijos al final.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;El mensaje va a ser en Ingles pero dice:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Estimado Alcalde Ballantyne, Comité Escolar y Ayuntamiento:

Les escribo hoy para apoyar el aumento de fondos para las escuelas públicas de Somerville.

Las escuelas cuentan con un proceso presupuestario colaborativo, lo que resultó en una solicitud de un aumento que va más allá de un simple aumento de "servicios nivelados". Un servicio nivelado significa que muchos niños no reciben los servicios que necesitan y a los que legalmente tienen derecho, que muchos maestros y paraprofesionales no ganan lo suficiente, y que una escuela está completamente desplazada debido a la demora en el mantenimiento de sus instalaciones.

En la presentación presupuestaria de anoche, escuchamos repetidamente a nuestros maestros decir que se les pide lo imposible. Perderemos a estos increíbles educadores si no les proporcionamos más recursos para enseñar a nuestros estudiantes.

Por favor, recuerden los valores de la comunidad que representaron: priorizar a nuestros estudiantes y su educación. En un momento en que nuestra ciudad y el comité escolar están demandando al gobierno federal por sus intentos de perjudicar a los estudiantes, no cometamos los mismos errores. En cambio, cumplamos con nuestras promesas y financiemos completamente nuestras escuelas, y respetemos, retengamos y mantengamos a nuestros maestros, pagando un salario digno a todos los que trabajan con nuestros niños.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Gracias de parte de un votante,&lt;/p&gt;</image:caption><image:title>Financiar completamente las escuelas de Somerville</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/2835/get-bubbles-movie-released1</loc><lastmod>2025-11-04T02:35:03.339Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/2835/get-bubbles-movie-released1"/><image:image><image:loc>https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/rally-starter-production.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Frally%2Fget-bubbles-movie-released?alt=media&amp;token=bba2a1c8-0c8d-42a7-b85f-4a037b300070</image:loc><image:caption>We need this movie in our life's&amp;nbsp;</image:caption><image:title>Get bubbles movie released</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://rallystarter.com/rally/1978/alabama-domestic-violence-registry-project</loc><lastmod>2025-01-11T17:43:02.759Z</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq><priority>0.7</priority><xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://rallystarter.com/rally/1978/alabama-domestic-violence-registry-project"/><image:image><image:loc>https://rallystarter.com/</image:loc><image:caption>The purpose of this petition is to promote and advocate a Domestic Violence Registry for the state of Alabama.
