Mayors play a crucial role in governing cities and towns, addressing local issues, and advocating for community needs. Petitions under the mayor topic cover a wide range of concerns, from demanding transparency and accountability in local government to calling for action on pressing issues like homelessness and environmental sustainability. Notable petitions may focus on removing corrupt mayors, implementing policies to reduce crime rates, or improving public transportation systems. By exploring and supporting these petitions, you can be part of the effort to create positive change in your community and hold mayors accountable for their actions. Join the movement to ensure that mayors work towards a better quality of life for all residents.
The health of a community is and should be a priority. Not only the life and dreams are being destroyed, have the decency to preserve the one thing money can’t buy.
Tengo un niño con problemas respiratorios y tengo que estar dando medicación y nebulizando y no puede estar absorbiendo ningún químico y contaminantes de asbesto.
I have an Autistic daughter. She will run off and even if you tell her to stop she will not stop. If you grab at her she will recoil or possibly even push you away with one arm and say no.
Her only chance if she encounters a police officer is either that she is still very young, the officer doesn’t attack because she is a girl, or the officer is properly trained and never jumps straight to action.
I can’t even put myself in my friends shoes. Both his son and daughter are autistic and like my daughter it’s bad. They are both non compliant. So he has a boy that is dark skinned and at some point that boy is going to be tall and teenage. I’m worried about cops attacking my daughter especially after seeing that cop who body slammed that 100LB teen into concrete with no provocation. It’s worse for men and it’s worse for dark skinned people.
My son has autism and was taken advantage of and used by druggies. Yet he's paying the excessive price. They wanted to send him to state mental hospital, very bad place to restore him to prosecute. I threw a fit telling them he's not insane, he's autistic! The court sentenced him with 2 felonies. For someone with the mental capacity of approximately 16 socially and elementary in comprehension, reading and writing. I felt it was excessive for someone with autism. I truly believe autistic people are really smarter and highly intelligent and lifted. However, it's trapped inside them, making communication very difficult for them. The judge should have shown some compassion but didn't. He's still on probation and none of the probation officers know anything about special needs or autism. It was shameful and disgusting to witness as his mother. I will never give up on him. He's finally getting help in developmental disability program but Medicaid makes the process extremely difficult to get him the help with living skills he desperately needs. This young man is going far if we can just keep these druggies and freeloaders from taking advantage of and manipulating him. He was almost off welfare when he met this bad person who got him into soo much trouble. It breaks my heart he's doesn't understand when someone is using him or manipulating and taking advantage of him.
From a loving autistic mom.
I personally have watch people be treated poorly by bad cops on a couple different forces. I have personally had things happen. It's disheartening. I've never been in trouble and I'm 49 years old. These are things that are hard to get over, and create distrust for our first responders.
So many are negatively impacted by the results of untrained first-responders when dealing with Autism spectrum and mental health issues. Proper Training saves lives, it provides education for the ever-growing issues plaguing our communities. This can also boost financial support for programs endeavoring to help those in need. This is a no-brainer, let's work together for the greater good of our world!
This breaks my heart, I am an RBT. I work with individuals with disabilities like autism and there needs to be better awareness of these things when police are preforming any sort of action towards another individual.
