Push the school board to provide sufficient bussing for high school students.

Attention Public Transportation Community! We’re facing a pressing crisis with overcrowding on Calgary Board of Education (CBE) high school buses, as highlighted by recent CityNews reports. Many students are unable to board due to full buses, leading to late arrivals, missed classes, and increased anxiety. This situation poses significant safety risks and disrupts education. We urgently call on the CBE and local authorities to increase bus routes to ensure every student has access to safe and reliable transportation. Please sign our petition and help us advocate for better options for our students. Together, we can make a difference!

Help Get Duolingo to Add a Catalan Course for English Speakers!

Hi all! I'm working on a petition to get Duolingo to add a Catalan course for English speakers, and I thought this would be a good place to share the petition.

Right now, Duolingo only offers a Spanish-to-Catalan course, which forces people to learn Spanish first and many stop there. For those unfamiliar, Catalan is spoken by more than 10 million people worldwide, mainly in Catalonia, Spain (home to Barcelona), Andorra (where it’s the official language), and other parts of Spain, France, and Italy. Catalan is under increasing pressure due to being a minority language, especially from the dominance of Spanish in Spain. Unfortunately, foreigners can get by on Spanish in major cities like Barcelona and therefore drop learning Catalan altogether.

As long as Duolingo offers Spanish-to-Catalan, and not English-to-Catalan, people will continue to learn Spanish instead of Catalan. Not only does this contribute to the increasing threat that the Catalan language is facing, but I also think it hinders foreigners from properly integrating and engaging with Catalan culture.

Duolingo already supports languages way smaller than Catalan, like Welsh and Navajo, not to mention the fictional languages. Duolingo, with its user base of 500 million, can make a great difference to the visibility of the language, as well as make life easier for both expats and locals.

So please, if you have a minute; sign and share this petition, and let's hope Duolingo understands the need when they see our number of supporters!

Thank you so much!

Sign Petition to Strengthen Cyberbullying Intervention Laws in Massachusetts: https://chng.it/87qymFMtyz

Here is the link to the petition!: https://chng.it/87qymFMtyz

Hello, everyone.

I’m reaching out to all of you amazing teachers for some support on something really close to my heart—cyberbullying intervention laws. We all know how damaging bullying can be. Unfortunately, Massachusetts needs stronger laws to protect our students from it.

The data speaks for itself: cases of online harassment are on the rise, and current policies just don’t cut it anymore. We see it in our classrooms every day – the anxiety, the sleepless nights, the distraction. And let’s be real: students can’t thrive in an environment where they don’t feel safe. It’s not just a school problem; it’s a community problem.

That’s where this petition comes in. A group of us is working to get new legislation passed to strengthen intervention protocols and make schools more accountable for stopping cyberbullying before it takes a deeper toll. Whether you're a teacher, parent, or someone who cares about our kids’ futures, your support can push this issue to the front of the agenda at the statehouse.

Exclude Week 8 From Final Record Calculations in my Fantasy Football League

https://www.change.org/p/exclude-week-8-from-final-record-calculations-in-our-fantasy-football-league

The Issue:

I'm a member of a fantasy football league, and as anyone in a similar situation will know, there are consequences for ending the season in last place. In our case, it involves an embarrassing public spectacle in New Orleans. It’s all fun and games, until you’re the one holding the sign on the corner.

One of the main issues we have is that the current schedule includes week 8, in which I will go against the strongest team in the league. This matchup poses an unfair disadvantage and contributes disproportionately towards my impending fate.

Statistics show that a single matchup can significantly impact a player's chances of winning or losing in fantasy football stand-off seasons (NFL Fantasy, 2021). It's only fair that our league considers the impact that one unavoidable, unfavorable week, could have on the overall season’s outcome.

This is not about evading responsibility, but enhancing the fairness of competition within our league. No one should feel distressed or disadvantaged because of an unlucky schedule.

Therefore, I ask my fellow fantasy fans and true patriots to sign this petition to exclude week 8 from our final record calculations. This petition is not just about our league, it's about making fantasy football fairer for everyone. So, I urge you – help promote fairness in our Fantasy Football League and save me from becoming the latest spectacle on the streets of New Orleans! Sign this petition today.

Sign Our Petition to Stop the No-Refund Game: Demand Fair Play from Digital Platforms

https://change.org/game-refunds
Hey fellow gamers! I've noticed a huge problem with some digital game platforms' refund policies:

  • PlayStation won't refund you if you've even downloaded the game - that's crazy unfair!
  • Other platforms like Steam, Epic, and Xbox are better, giving you 14 days to return a game if you've played less than 2 hours.
  • Studies show good refund policies actually boost revenue.

I'm proposing we push for a law setting a minimum standard across all gaming platforms:

  • 14 days to return a game
  • Less than 2 hours played
  • No questions asked

Platforms could still refuse refunds for suspected abuse. If you're with me on making digital gaming fairer, please sign this petition. Are you in?

Sign to put tampon dispensers in my high school's women's restrooms.

https://www.change.org/shswomenshealth

Feminine hygiene products are essential to maintain personal health and standard quality of life. Currently, Sandpoint High School lacks readily accessible tampon dispensers in our women's restrooms. This can contribute to discomfort, embarrassment, and unnecessary anxiety amongst the female student body, creating a difficult learning environment.

Experts have voiced the need for these essential products to be freely available in schools, citing how these institutions should support the health and well-being of all students. A US study showed that 86% of women have started their period unexpectedly in public without the supplies they needed (Free the Tampons Foundation, 2013), especially those with unpredictable periods. Worldwide, girls can miss school due to a lack of sanitary products which unarguably affects their education (UNESCO, 2014). With tampon dispensers in restrooms, Sandpoint High School could alleviate these experiences and enhance educational equity.

We know that if the school can waste taxpayer money to pay for car giveaways, new couches for the library, and vape detectors, they can pay to support their students' needs. We could get tampon dispensers in all of the women's restrooms for 1/6 of the cost of the cheapest vape detectors, AND the school would get money in return for their purchase. We also request pad dispensers so every woman gets what they need. After interviewing T.A.s, we have concluded that almost nobody gets tampons from the jar in the counseling office due to the stigma surrounding female hygiene products.

Let's urge Sandpoint High School Administrators to fund tampon dispensers in the women's restrooms to support the overall health and well-being of our female students. Disregarding menstrual needs is not an option. Encourage them to help knock down one barrier in the path of academic success for every student. Sign this petition now or join our campaign to show your support for this important change toward improving our school environment.

Stop Creepy YouTube Comments

TW: CP

I made a petition to stop aimed at YT to stop the comment bots, because of the recent rise of hateful and disgusting child content that is spreading on YT. I doubt the company itself cares, but if it gains the traction of the media or advertisers catch wind of it then YouTube might do something about it.

This post isn’t just about the petition, although it might be a way to get others to notice the problem, but about the situation as whole. Please talk about it online, report any of those comments that you see, post about it and support videos from YouTubers speaking out in the algorithm.

Revisit how the breed restriction policy is determined at apartment complexes and rental homes.

Many of us who own a restricted breed(s) have ran into some sort of frustration when trying to find a home that doesn't have breed restrictions. Those who are pet friendly advertise their "breed restriction policy," but shouldn't it be "pet BEHAVIOR policy?" Why punish a specified breed as a whole when there are too many well trained and behaved individuals within the restricted breeds? Not all "intimidating looking dogs" are mean. If interested, give my petition a read and I hope to have your signature and support. Thank you in advance!

Adopt "Rosanna" by Toto as the New National Anthem

Despite the patriotism embodied in "The Star-Spangled Banner", our current anthem doesn't necessarily speak to the diverse and vibrant zeitgeist of modern America. On the other hand, "Rosanna", with its enrapturing melodies and unique time signature, could significantly amplify our national voice, creating a potent fusion of tradition and modern appeal.

Ban all advertisements of alcohol spirits in mass media and public spaces in the UK

https://www.change.org/AlcoholAdverts

Deaths from alcohol are on the rise, and alcohol use disorders are a major public health problem in the UK. According to the Office for National Statistics, in 2021, there were nearly 10,000 deaths from alcohol-specific causes in the UK, marking a significant and tragic increase. Alcohol-related harm costs England £27 billion each year, according to the Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS), with a staggering £4.9 billion of that burden falling directly on our already overstretched NHS.

We are all affected by the consequences of alcohol—whether it’s waiting in long lines at emergency rooms or watching loved ones struggle with addiction. Underage drinking also remains a serious concern, with alcohol being a factor in risky behaviours like driving under the influence, poor health outcomes and addiction.

Yet despite these alarming facts, advertising for high-percentage spirits—such as vodka, whiskey, and rum—remains legal and visible across all forms of mass media (TV, radio, online) and public spaces, including billboards. These ads glamorize and normalize alcohol consumption, sending a dangerous message that heavy drinking is acceptable and even desirable.

If we ban cigarette advertising and require health warnings on tobacco packaging, why is alcohol, which causes thousands of deaths every year, still promoted so openly? Alcohol consumption is treated as normal, even though it poses grave risks to individuals' health, families, and society at large.

The goal is simple: ban the advertisement of all spirits in mass media and public spaces in the UK. Join me in calling for this critical change to protect public health and reduce the burden of alcohol-related harm on our communities and healthcare system.
