Remote work enabled me to continue in my career without having to decide between my career and staying close to my parents and family. Forcing mandatory back to the office will make the gender pay gap worse. Many women have to choose between family and work. We should make their lives easier not harder.
Nadia, supported: Stand With Working Moms: Fight for the Right to Remote Work AccommodationsI’m signing because taking away work-from-home is a direct hit to women especially mothers, caregivers, and those balancing invisible labor. Flexibility isn’t a perk, it’s survival.
Yuliya, supported: Stand With Working Moms: Fight for the Right to Remote Work AccommodationsSubject: Concerns Regarding Conduct and Accountability of Jocelyn Auger
I express serious concerns regarding the conduct and decision-making of Jocelyn Auger, as well as the systemic lack of accountability observed among various levels of the educational administration in matters involving my child and others.
There have been multiple instances in which discriminatory actions were taken against my daughter, who lives with complex medical needs related to Type 1 Diabetes. These include, but are not limited to:
A refusal to receive or participate in training on diabetes management, even when a certified educator was offered at no cost to the school.
A prolonged refusal to revise a critical medical care plan, despite evidence that the outdated version was negatively impacting my daughter's physical and mental well-being.
Inappropriate and unfounded accusations that my daughter was "not treating" her blood sugar, made by untrained staff. I have documentation showing that her blood sugar levels were never in a dangerous range that day, and that she was effectively managing a stubborn high under my guidance.
Efforts to "educate" my daughter using fear-based tactics about the dangers of untreated hypoglycemia, without any prior consultation with myself—despite my daughter's thorough understanding of her condition since early childhood.
Intimidation and threats, including the possibility of banning me from school premises, for urgently requesting that her care plan be revised prior to an arbitrary "communication meeting" that delayed appropriate action for two months.
In addition to these issues, Ms. Auger has demonstrated a troubling pattern of avoiding accountability and parental involvement. She has:
Refused to permit children to call home when they request parental assistance.
Used isolation from class and placement in her office as a disciplinary measure, without notifying parents.
Acted contrary to pre-arranged plans discussed with parents on the same day.
Displayed visible anger when parents arrive to support their children, treating such involvement as unwelcome or disruptive.
Attempts to collaborate and offer constructive education on managing my daughter's condition have been met with resistance, deflection, and at times, hostility. Ms. Auger has engaged in behavior that includes gaslighting, veiled threats, and reputational smearing, all of which appear intended to dissuade parents from pursuing necessary accountability or advocating for their children's well-being.
It is deeply concerning to witness a school leader using tactics that prioritize institutional control over the health and safety of students. I respectfully request that these matters be reviewed at the highest level, and that immediate steps be taken to ensure transparency, proper training, and a culture of collaboration between families and staff moving forward.
Kayla, supported: Calling for a Ministry investigation & oversight on St Anthony’s administratorsNeurodivergent children and those with certain needs deserve unwavering support, patience, and understanding from every adult entrusted with their care. When staff fail to meet these basic responsibilities, it’s not just a lack of training — it’s a failure of empathy and ethics. No child should feel unsafe, unseen, or unworthy in a space meant to nurture them. It is time for real accountability and meaningful change. Our children are not the problem — the system that allows neglect and exclusion is. I am so sorry this is happening to you and many others. 🙏
Chantella, supported: Calling for a Ministry investigation & oversight on St Anthony’s administratorsThe initial agreement stipulating an indoor-only life for the cat was undoubtedly made with the best intentions for the animal's safety. However, it's crucial to consider the context of eight years of continuous care and love. For nearly a decade, this cat has been an integral part of this family, thriving in their home and forming deep attachments. While the decision to allow the cat outdoors was a deviation from the agreement, it does not erase the eight years of responsible ownership, veterinary care, and emotional investment the family has provided.
Uprooting a cat that has spent eight years in one home and returning it to a shelter environment, no matter how well-intentioned, can be incredibly stressful and detrimental to the animal's well-being. Cats are creatures of habit and deeply bond with their human companions and familiar surroundings. Returning this cat to the shelter and leaving it there would disrupt its established routine, expose it to a new and potentially frightening environment, and separate it from the only family it has ever known. After eight years, this family is the cat's home.
Furthermore, the idea that this cat, after eight years with this family which might then be given to an entirely new family is heartbreaking and, frankly, incredibly difficult for the cat itself. It would have to adapt to new people, new smells, a new environment – all after the trauma of being removed from its long-term home. This would be a tremendous disservice to the cat, risking significant emotional distress and behavioral issues.
Surely, the ultimate goal of any animal shelter is to ensure animals are in loving, stable, and permanent homes. This cat already has one. I’d believe that a solution can be found that prioritizes the cat's well-being and allows it to return to the only family it has ever known.
While the shelter has a valid point regarding the breached agreement, the punitive action of permanently withholding the cat after such a long period of ownership seems disproportionate to the offense.
Rhonda, supported: Help Lilly Get Her Beloved Cat Rusty Back in SudburyUprooting a cat that has spent nearly a decade, in one home and bringing it to the shelter, no matter how well-intentioned, is completely disheartening. This animal is a family member since they welcomed them home and no agreements should be as harsh as to catnap him… This company needs to do better. Years back my female cat got sick and needed an expensive surgery under the same program assisting us... We could not afford the whole surgery. So they took our girl. They paid her surgery and rehomed our cat after 5 years. It hits my heart deeply when fur babies are not where they belong to be and revoked from every familiar thing to them. Please, BRING THIS KITTY HOME.
Chloe, supported: Help Lilly Get Her Beloved Cat Rusty Back in SudburyThis wee child is missing her cat and it should be returned to the only home it knows. To remove this cat from his loving family is deplorable. There are enough homeless animals out there that you don’t need to take one already. He does have a home and a little girl that loves it.
Shirley, supported: Help Lilly Get Her Beloved Cat Rusty Back in SudburyI do not understand why someone would want to take a pet away from a child ? This cat was this little girl's pet to begin with, so why then steal it from her ? I have 2 orange tabbies of my own . Just because they allow the cat to go outside, doesn't mean they don't love their cat. Cats are such wonderful creatures! I couldn't imagine my life without mine. I completely understand how the little girl feels without her cat!
Susan, supported: Help Lilly Get Her Beloved Cat Rusty Back in SudburyI think it sounds like Rusty had a wonderful home......perfect that door that allowed him in and out.....I don't believe that all cats should be indoor cats......they are sentient beings like us.......and not all are happy without being out and about in the world like us.......I think the family thought this out in a very good way.......finally the young girl needs her cat friend back......or else what message is being sent to her regarding the care and love for the species of this planet.
