Pet rent is ridiculous rent is already sky high and now it makes things even harder and forces people who let go of their beloved pets and creates more of an issue for animal shelters due to pet rent 1000s of dogs a year are put down because shelters are over ran. Families are already struggling to make ends meet and pet rent on top of paying a deposit is just greedy and unjustified. It shouldn't be allowed renters already deal with 80% of landlords being slum lords we shouldn't have to work to death just to have a roof over our heads and keep our fur babies.
Stephanie supported: Outlaw Pet Rent, Save LivesHaving come to Rice for the past 3 years, it’s been made apparent to me how we’re lacking in some resources for infant care. It’s my hope that we can raise our voices in unison and to talk about the importance of infant care on campus with as many people as we can!!!
Bernardo supported: Urge Rice University to Expand Resources for Pregnant and Parenting StudentsEducation lifts families out of poverty. Support families who are pursuing higher education while embracing the challenges of a new baby.
Lauren supported: Urge Rice University to Expand Resources for Pregnant and Parenting StudentsI care because this country was founded on freedom of religion. Muslims only have two holidays a year, and I would appreciate it very much if we could have those days off for religious observance. Thank you
Candi supported: HISD Removed Eid - Muslim Students Deserve BetterHISD should recognize Eid as an official school holiday, just as it does for other religious observances like Christmas and Good Friday. Islam is one of the largest religions in the world, and many students, teachers, and staff in the district celebrate Eid. By not giving a day off, HISD forces Muslim students to choose between their education and their faith, which is unfair and unequal.
Recognizing Eid as a holiday promotes inclusivity and respects the diversity of the student body. Just like students of other faiths don’t have to miss school for their religious celebrations, Muslim students should have the same right. Many other school districts across the U.S., including in New York and Maryland, have already made this change, setting an example of fairness and equity.
HISD prides itself on diversity, and making Eid a school holiday would reflect that commitment by ensuring all religious groups are treated equally.
Malak supported: HISD Removed Eid - Muslim Students Deserve BetterI believe it’s unfair for the school to take away the celebration of Eid and not allow Muslim students to take a day off for it. This decision feels wrong and goes against the principle of the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of religion. Everyone should have the right to celebrate their beliefs, and it’s important for the school to support all students, regardless of their faith.
Sama supported: HISD Removed Eid - Muslim Students Deserve BetterI am signing this petition because removing Eid from the HISD calendar is a step backward in inclusivity and respect for all students. Recognizing Eid as a holiday ensures that Muslim students and educators are treated with the same fairness as their peers who celebrate other religious holidays. No student should have to choose between their faith and their education. HISD must reinstate Eid to uphold its commitment to diversity and equality
quratul supported: HISD Removed Eid - Muslim Students Deserve BetterKnowledge is the antidote to fear. Exposing our students to the Muslim perspective allows them to embrace that community, expelling that sense of "the other". A day off for a Muslim holiday is a good start.
Francisco supported: HISD Removed Eid - Muslim Students Deserve BetterHouston is a very diverse city with thousands of muslims. We should be able to have the day off and have HISD to recognize Eid as a holiday. Other religions get day off for their holidays, why can’t muslims?
Layan supported: HISD Removed Eid - Muslim Students Deserve BetterEvery human being has a right to choice of their religion and way of life and to celebrate their religious days with their family and friends without disturbing people of other faiths.
Muslim community as all other communities have a right to have their religious holidays recognised and celebrated, as Muslims join their Christian and Jewish and others friends and classmates in celebrating their holy events.
