I fully support this petition because no one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or threatened online. The behavior that has been displayed toward members of the Haitian community, women, and individuals in the LGBT community is unacceptable. Using a platform to spread hate, make threats, or cause emotional harm to others — including artists like Marc D and many others — should not be normalized.
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to intimidate or traumatize people. Social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram should be spaces where people feel safe to express themselves without fear of harassment.
Accountability matters. Respect matters. Our communities deserve better.
Ed supported: Say no to bullying, harassment and threateningThere is never a time that an adult, doesn’t matter who they are, should put their hands on a child to commit violence. As a parent, this enrages me, and should enrage the entire community. The Chief of Police holds a position of power - they must be held to a higher standard. A “resignation” should be the tip of the iceberg for this horrifying human being. If he is assaulting children, what other crimes does this man commit. He belongs in prison with the people he put away.
Jordan supported: Demand Chief Scott McElree's resignationWe've seen the videos. The police chief started the violence. We saw an unidentified man push his way into a crowd of children and start grabbing kids, then put a girl into a choke hold. There was no reason to use this kind of excessive force. He should have been the one arrested. If I had been there, I would have reacted the same as those kids to defend her.
Lisen supported: Demand Chief Scott McElree's resignationWhile I have never skated in my life, I have been doing marching band for almost eight years, and you learn to watch for the smallest of discrepancies in everything you do, from musical quality to your choreography. When watching the scoring and the errors made by the French pair, it was shocking to see that they got a better score than Chock and Bates. There were moments where they were out of sync and there were moments where one of them visibly stumbled and lost balance. It's clear that a heavy bias from the judges affected that final score, and I think it's important for the integrity of the Olympics that this be reviewed heavily. This isn't the first time it's happened and it's sad to see that this is a repeating problem.
Ella supported: Require the IOC and ISU to Investigate the Judges Awarding France the GoldAs a parent of 2 skaters that dedicate their lives to this sport, the actions of the IOC are a slap in the face to the integrity that is hammered into these skaters every time they take the ice. Chock and Bates were meticulous. We all saw the stumbles from Cizeron and they didn’t get called??
Stefanie supported: Require the IOC and ISU to Investigate the Judges Awarding France the GoldI am a competitive show skater and understand how judging works. What happened was wrong and deserves to be acknowledged it is. You have failed us athletes who watch team after team dreams shattered by your unfair rules. Please do something about this before you lose more people's faith
Abigail supported: Require the IOC and ISU to Investigate the Judges Awarding France the GoldKurds have suffered for decades at the hands of neighboring states- our land divided, our rights denied, our voices silenced. Yet when the world needed courage, it was the Kurds who stood on the front lines and fought ISIS. We ask for one thing only: to be seen, heard, and given our rightful dignity
Fadel supported: Urge US senators to support Lindsey Graham's Save the Kurds ActI support my Kurds because our existence itself has always been an act of resistance. Kurds are one of the oldest peoples in the Middle East, with our own language, culture, history, and identity, yet we were divided, erased from maps, and told to stay silent. For generations, Kurds have been denied the basic right every nation deserves: a country to call their own. Not because we don’t deserve it, but because powerful states were afraid of Kurdish unity and strength.
Kurds have been tired for a long time. Tired of being lied about. Tired of being labeled as troublemakers when all we’ve ever wanted is dignity, safety, and self-determination. Tired of seeing our villages destroyed, our language banned, our people displaced, yet still standing. Every time the world tries to erase us, we come back louder, stronger, and more rooted in who we are.
And let’s be real: when the world needed someone to fight ISIS, it was the Kurds. Kurdish fighters, men and women, stood on the front lines and defended not just our land, but humanity itself. We fought ISIS for the whole world while many watched from afar. Thousands of Kurds gave their lives so others could live in safety. And after all that sacrifice, the world still hesitates to recognize us. That alone shows the injustice Kurds face.
People love to lie about Kurds because the truth scares them. The truth is that Kurds are powerful. Not just with weapons, but with resilience, unity, culture, and pride. We survive without a state, without protection, without recognition, and that is power. Kurdish women fought ISIS. Kurdish youth keep the language alive. Kurdish elders carry history that no border can erase.
Kurds deserve a country because we already act like a nation. We protect our land, we govern ourselves when allowed, we defend our people, and we refuse to disappear. A Kurdish state isn’t about hatred or revenge. It’s about justice. It’s about finally living without fear, without denial, without being treated as if we don’t belong.
I support my Kurds because no matter how much the world tries to silence us, we’re still here. Still fighting. Still loving our land. Still saying one thing clearly: we exist, we matter, and we’re not going anywhere.free rojava free kurdistan save rojava✌🏻✌🏻
