My name is Jennifer Tyrrell, and in April 2012, I was removed as the den leader of my seven-year-old son’s Cub Scout pack, all because I’m gay. Despite the fact that I was a good den leader and parents in the community supported me and urged me to take on the role, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) now say that I do not “meet the high standards of membership” that the BSA seeks, and will no longer allow me to participate in scouting. This news was heartbreaking -- both for me, but also for my son, who wonders why the BSA won’t let his mother participate in scouting. But as heartbreaking as this news was, there’s a ray of hope -- hundreds of thousands of people took action and put pressure on the Boy Scouts of America to end their long-held policy that bars gay scout leaders and gay troops. And now, after delivering hundreds of thousands of signatures to the Boy Scouts of America’s National Annual Meeting, the Boy Scouts have publicly revealed -- for the first time in history -- that a resolution is before their national board that would allow local chartering organizations to welcome gay troops and gay scout leaders. This is historic. With thousands of current scouts, former scouts, and scout leaders around the country urging the Boy Scouts of America to end their policy prohibiting gay troops and leaders, the time for the Boy Scouts’ board to act is now. And who better to act than a business leader who is not only on the board of the Boy Scouts, but who also leads a company with a near perfect record on gay rights: Randall Stephenson of AT&T. AT&T has a 100% ranking on HRC’s Corporate Equality Index, and has been honored as a top place to work for LGBT employees. In addition, AT&T has active LGBT employee groups. If Randall Stephenson has been so successful at leading a company committed to LGBT rights, he can use his power as a board member of the Boy Scouts of America to help change a discriminatory policy that prevents families like mine from being involved in scouts. The Boy Scouts offer so much to young people like my son. But by continuing to prevent gay Americans from participating as leaders or troops, the Boy Scouts are sending a damaging message to kids that discrimination is acceptable, and that families like mine aren’t welcome at their table. Randall Stephenson has the unique position of being able to challenge this policy from within, and join the hundreds of thousands of supporters who’ve urged the Boy Scouts to end their ban on gay troops and leaders. Please urge corporate leaders to take their leadership on diversity issues within the workplace, and extend it to their role as board members of the Boy Scouts of America.

Suicide rates have been on the increase since 1999.  Suicide rates have increase in every state and as a result almost 45,000 people died by suicide in 2016 according to the CDC.  What we will not know is if those people had the opportunity to speak to someone immediately.  The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline has a number where anyone can call when one is in distress but, what if you don’t know the 800 number? What if your situation will prevent you from searching the number? I am proposing that a three digit number like 911 be created and become a default number on all cellphones. Perhaps, a number that is easy to remember and everyone get to know it. Hopefully in that manner, instead for searching or trying to remember the number, one picks up a phone, dials for help and the only difference is that when the number is dialed, a person is immediately connected to someone that is prepared to listen not someone asking “what is your emergency”.  

En la contingencia actual que se vive, muchas personas estamos realizando labores tanto escolares, como profesionales en nuestros hogares, por lo que los servicios de  Internet son básicos para llevar a cabo nuestras tareas. El ancho de banda contratado en nuestros servicios domésticos o los paquetes de datos para celulares, podrían no ser suficientes para satisfacer de forma adecuada nuestras necesidades. Por lo que, mi petición es , solicitar a las empresas proveedoras de servicios de Internet, que durante este periodo de contingencia, incrementen de forma gratuita el ancho de banda en nuestros hogares y no contabilicen en las redes móviles el consumo de datos.

Domestic abuse affects millions of men world wide every year. WB DC HBO have perpetuated the silencing of men who suffer from domestic violence by supporting a reasonably proven domestic abuser. Amber Heard admitted in court documents that she abused Johnny Depp by psychological violence, recordings of her admitting to hitting, throwing objects, verbally harassing and gaslighting Johnny have been heard around the world. The time has come for the world to take a stand for equal domestic violence awareness.  According to the CDC in the United States, "Intimate Partner Violence [affects] About 1 in 3 men experienced contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime.Nearly 56% of men who were victims of contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner first experienced these or other forms of violence by that partner before age 25." https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/intimatepartnerviolence/men-ipvsvandstalking.html And in the UK "The Office for National Statistics figures show every year that one in the three victims of domestic abuse are male equating to 757,000 men.." https://www.mankind.org.uk/statistics/statistics-on-male-victims-of-domestic-abuse/ End the double standard! There is still a largely held denial that men can be victims of domestic abuse and WB DC HBO are continuing this dismissive view. If equal awareness for domestic abuse victims has to have a high profile case to garner public acceptance then let it start with Amber and Johnny. Documentation, comfirmed recordings and statements have been made public of Amber violently attacking Johnny, throwing multiple objects and glass bottles at him resulting in the required surgery to repair bone and nerve damage. Some will argue "it was only a finger tip" but those are the people that don't understand the mental trauma that results from violence like this.  WB DC HBO, producer Peter Safran has made a statement that he does not care what the fans want and has tried silencing our voices. If our voices are unwanted than so too is our money.  This is a public call to boycott WB DC HBO productions and services. Pledge to cancel all subscriptions and boycott productions. Fan voices matter. Male domestic violence victims matter. 

Please sign our petition to protect children from sexual abuse. In March of 2017 we appeared on CBS 60 Minutes and told the nation our very personal stories of physical, emotional and sexual abuse inflicted upon us by USA Gymnastics and their former National Team Doctor Larry Nassar. Since then more than 140 girls and women have come forward to report alleged incidents of sexual abuse that are strikingly similar to ours. The current leadership of USA Gymnastics failed in its responsibility to protect child athletes from sexual predators and failed to alert authorities to reports of sexual abuse as required by law. Olympic level gymnastics has become a big business funded by some of America’s largest corporations and overseen by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC). Change is being made in the leadership in major companies when sex abuse survivors step forward and say, “#Metoo,” but this hasn’t happened yet in USA Gymnastics. USA Gymnastics Chairman Paul Parilla, Vice Chairman Jay Binder and Treasurer Bitsy Kelley have focused their attention on money and medals while USA Gymnastics is attempting to cover up the largest child sex abuse scandal in the history of sports. They must be replaced by people who will put the health and safety of athletes first. Please sign this petition now. Demand a leadership change at USA Gymnastics. Jamie Dantzscher - 2000 Olympic Bronze Medalist, Artistic Gymnastic Jessica Howard - 3 Time National Champion, Rhythmic Gymnastics Jeanette Antolin - Former USA National Team Member, Artistic Gymnastics This petition will be delivered to: United States Olympic Committee USA Gymnastics Procter & Gamble AT&T Under Armour Hershey’s NBC Sports United Airlines

Given how the four-hour masterpiece ends, Justice League 2 is inevitably on the minds of DC fans everywhere.  Considering the fight to get the Snyder Cuton HBO Max, it’s perhaps a surprise to find out that director Zack Snyder has spoken at length about the possibility of a Justice League sequel. That includes everything from specific plot points to the wider DCEU story arc the director was planning to tell through an additional two Justice League movies (yes, there was meant to be a Justice League 3). Once You have seen the Snyder Cut on HBO Max there is no going back. The Epicness of the movie is mind boggling. And we cannot go for the rest of our lives wondering what could have been. Canon or no canon the Snyder Cuts masterpiece deserves, no DEMANDS a continuation of the storyline.  Once again DC and Comic books fans around the world need to unite and call for the continuation of the Snyderverse Trilogy. These movies represent the heritage of hope, dreams, possibilities, love & awesomeness, and that anything is possible for for a whole generation of fans worldwide. And with our determination and voice we can bend the reality to be so. We need to rise to the occasion and get every single DC fan out there to sign this petition and more. It’s simple, when the studio sees the unprecedented demand, they will have no choice than to approve. After all, they will be making hundreds of millions dollars if not more...Now, Let’s Do This! #restorethesnyderverse. #restoreanyderversenow. #Justicewillprevail    

El distanciamiento social actual por la pandemia de COVID 19, nos obliga a que las clases en todos los niveles sean en línea. Lo que significa el uso de internet por horas al día, con el fuerte impacto al gasto en perjuicio de la economía familiar. Si bien es cierto se transmitirán por TV las clases, es necesario el contacto con los alumnos, entre otra varias plataformas, TEAMS de Microsoft que será de las mas usadas, implica un alto consumo de datos. El Articulo tercero de la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos dicta:  Artículo 3o. Toda persona tiene derecho a la educación. El Estado -Federación, Estados, Ciudad de México y Municipios- impartirá y garantizará la educación inicial, preescolar, primaria, secundaria, media superior y superior. ...  f) Será inclusivo, al tomar en cuenta las diversas capacidades, circunstancias y necesidades de los educandos. Con base en el principio de accesibilidad se realizarán ajustes razonables y se implementarán medidas específicas con el objetivo de eliminar las barreras para el aprendizaje y la participación. IV. Toda la educación que el Estado imparta será gratuita;  V. Toda persona tiene derecho a gozar de los beneficios del desarrollo de la ciencia y la innovación tecnológica. El Estado apoyará la investigación e innovación científica, humanística y tecnológica, y garantizará el acceso abierto a la información que derive de ella, para lo cual deberá proveer recursos y estímulos suficientes, conforme a las bases de coordinación, vinculación y participación que establezcan las leyes en la materia; además alentará el fortalecimiento y difusión de nuestra cultura; 

AT&T Front Line employees have been deemed "essential" by both the company and the Government. These employees are responsible for installing and repairing internet and TV services , assisting the public with Cell Phone needs in retail stores and answering calls to order services in our call center.  All of these employees face a number of health hazards and dangers in order to keep the public's communication needs active during the pandemic.  AT&T initially provided additional  compensation during the Pandemic but they are ending the payments this week even though the danger of the virus is still present at all work locations for all job titles.  The employees at AT&T understand the need for the public to be able to have high speed internet services to keep businesses and schools running and have been up for the challenge. We are sacrificing our safety for the greater good and absolutely should be compensated for the additional risks that we are facing.  Please sign this Petition to convince AT&T to properly compensate the employees while we service the public while risking our health to do so. 

In an American era where the values of free speech, progress, and innovation are increasingly threatened, the free and equal internet serves as a haven for ingenuity, discovery, and cultural conversation. Media monopolies finally have a figurehead seated at the helm of the FCC. Their current move to 'deregulate' the free and equal internet is a move to hand the internet over to the same corporate powers that have been taking over our government. Underground and smaller-scale artists, writers, activists, and entrepreneurs will be silenced; Political discourse can be orchestrated behind the scenes; The ears and eyes, hearts, minds and wallets of the American public will be sold to the highest bidder. We've all heard remarks that the loss of a free and equal internet could be a call to simpler times. Many of us have learned helplessness in the face of threats to our basic freedoms, where efforts to mobilize in an attempt to save things as basic as freedom of speech and clean water are being squashed by the Oligarchy. With an internet that continues to be consumed, but is controlled by big money and devoid of the true voices of the people, we will be moving into an era of information monopoly, control, and censorship. In the case that protections for a free and equal internet are revoked: The only way to ensure that we will retain a sense of efficacy as consumers, and perhaps the only way to make these soul-less corporations feel our distain, is to promptly cancel at least one of our subscriptions to the 'services' they are selling us, if not all, at least temporarily (if not permanently). So much of the American population has grown accustomed to being 'plugged-in' on a 24-hour basis. While those who suffer from an addiction to social media may not be willing to take such drastic action, those of us who lived at least part of our adult lives without forums, selfies, and non-stop social simulation could wield a powerful force to influence a future in which truth and freedom will continue to be harbored and accessible in American media. WE, THE PEOPLE, WILL SEVER SUBSCRIPTIONS, PAYMENTS, AND TIES TO SERVICE PROVIDERS IN THE CASE THAT NET NEUTRALITY IS REPEALED. In 2015, the average subscription pay-TV customer paid $123 per month for pay-TV (www.fool.com). That same year, figures for monthly internet service averaged $50 per month, I'm currently billed at about $60 for home service and an additional $15 for mobile internet. If the internet becomes infiltrated by corporate interest and content geared toward funneling sales and political power, it will become one giant algorithmic salesman, generating desires and problems in order to tout solutions in the guise of choice. Many will go about their daily lives oblivious, responding to the online assault in predictable ways, by making purchases and forming beliefs they will not even be aware of. I refuse to pay someone to come into my home and try to influence my mind, my actions, and how I choose to waste my time and money. I would rather give that money over to a few DVD rentals, lunch with a group of concerned citizens, a night out at the movies, and the independent media outlet of my choosing. Though many of us may not have fallen prey to the addictive nature of social media, we continue to consume entertainment via the internet, we have uploaded vast stores of our own personal media (photos, video, music, cloud storage) to the internet, and we connect with friends both near and far. To put it bluntly, they think they have us by the balls. It's time to put our money where our minds are, out of the control of those who seek to control us.  Join me in vowing to cancel all subscriptions to internet and cable services in the unfortunate event that our free and equal internet is handed over to American monopolies. You can commit to end subscriptions for a month, a year, or indefinitely. When you sign your name, decide how long you will disconnect and share your commitment with your circle of friends. If protections are repealed, those who vow to hit these monsters where it hurts will immediately cease payments and subscriptions. We will announce our departures and then share some of the cool things we're doing in lieu of daily internet engagement from a seat at the local Mom and Pop shop once or twice a week. Where we have will, we will find or make a way. Imagine $60-$100 per person committing to cancel their services, per month! This is the only way to get the greediest of the greedy to listen the voice of the people. 

We want Swamp Thing back for more seasons and crossed over with and teamed with Justice League Dark John Constantine and Zatana!  The best DC adaptation so far got axed for bs reasons
