This is important - especially in terms of supporting accessibility. However, I do think it is sad that some may use this option because they are afraid to attend a municipal meeting - the fear to participate because of threatening behavior is not freedom. That is terrorism, and it is sad to see it impacting the freedom of a democratic political institution. As a community, we need to stand up to this and assert the right of all citizens to safety as active members in their own communities! I value everyone's right to safely engage in the political process.
Emmanuel supported: Support Safe Municipal Meeting Options for All including People w/Disabilities💕I just want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Owen. They saved my life when I was down and out and without them I don't know where I'd be today. I'm proud to sign this petition.
Jason supported: Support Safe Municipal Meeting Options for All including People w/Disabilities💕As someone who is disabled, an POC, and female, and has been unfairly denied accommodations too many times, I know too much what a situation like this is like. I believe that even if it’s obvious (you wear braces, walk with a limp, or use a wheelchair), some people just look at you, and the color of your skin and turn you down, thinking you’re “faking” it. It’s disgusting and needs to stop! I would be one that could only attend a percentage of the meetings due to transportation issues (mainly restricted to the bus), not being able to out in certain types of weather, medical condition flares, and other restrictions related to my medical issues.) Unfair accommodations such as this, and retaliation on top of it, are causing us to grow more and more apart. And that’s not how it should be.
Whitney supported: Support Safe Municipal Meeting Options for All including People w/Disabilities💕The MBMS MUN club is important in so many ways, and as a 6th grader who will be going to Mira Costa, I was planning to use the MUN club as an introduction and as a way to have a smoother introduction into the Model United Nations elective in High School. But just in general, MUN is such a great club that enhances so many skills that actually help in everyday life, like social skills, speaking skills, confidence, and gives people a fun place to socialize while learning which helps in building a better relation with learning!
Mohammad supported: Stop MBMS MUN Club from Being Removed at MBMSSad to hear that one of the best and most practical academic programs at MBMS may be at risk. Model UN is a great tool to teach a confluence of skills such as history, English, writing, political science, economics and negotiations. These are all great learnings that our kids should experience to be optimally prepared for a successful future in school, life and the professional world.
Dave supported: Stop MBMS MUN Club from Being Removed at MBMSIt is devastating how our school MUN club program is being shut down. The necessary incident needed to be focused on isn’t solved yet, and now the admin is closing a program that isn’t worrying the whole school or even district. Speaking skills for presentations and off the cup speeches are presented in this club which tremendously helps with academic related projects. It’s funny to see how the school likes to show that they are doing something by removing or implementing random sanctions or acts. Lunch time MUN won’t be the same. With students eating and chatting, we won’t be able to learn as much. To add on, the high schoolers know formally what is to be done in MUN and they can’t come during school. With the school closing down after school MUN club, this upsets dozens of students varying grades. Improvement on history and fields of studies are seen after MUN conferences as i’ts talking about global issues past and present in crisis.
Alexander supported: Stop MBMS MUN Club from Being Removed at MBMSI have been in the MBMS MUN program since sixth grade. So to hear the board is shutting it down is definitely devastating and 100% a heart break for me. I gained a ton of knowledge, social skills, speaking skills and more just from MBMS MUN alone. As well the highschoolers are beyond sweet and often help me out with stuff besides MUN. So shutting down MUN is like shutting down a family business, something that hurts deep and hard.
Chrissy supported: Stop MBMS MUN Club from Being Removed at MBMSAs somebody who struggles with mental health issues, the concept of a police officer refusing to try to understand when somebody is going through something is utterly terrifying, especially when taking into account how stigmatized certain disorders are.
Cydney supported: Reprimand Sheriff Deputy Mark Heberlig of Houston County GAHeavy rains happen every year, El dorado PKWY West floods. If a medical emergency happens we will be on the short end of the stick. The board should think that some day you will be old enough to think about medical emergencies and I hope none of you have to be appealing like we all are. Save the bridge.
Luis supported: Save the Sands Blvd Bridge! For All Cape Coral Residents!You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
