The Community of The Wirral deserve to have a thriving People’s Market in the heart of Birkenhead.

If humanity is to survive and thrive, people's rights and sovereignty must be the center of sustainable development - not the narrow profit interests of big corporations. The COP28 climate talks is an opportunity for rural peoples to demand reforms that can help stop their communities' displacement, people's hunger, and the planet's destruction.

We are teens, parents, and people all across the US that care for the wellbeing of kids and the impact social media is having on them. This mental health crisis transcends political leanings, race and religion. Join us in demanding lawmakers protect kids instead of tech execs that care mostly about profits.

The CDC, USDA, and the NIH have all released reports of growing concerns for global food insecurity due to the impact of climate change. The CDC reports that nutritional value of food is projected to decline due to soil nitrogen levels being suboptimal. Farmers are expected to use more herbicides and pesticides due to increased growth of pests and weeds. As a result, farmers, farmworkers, and consumers will be increasingly exposed to these substances and their residues, which can be toxic. These impacts of climate change on the nutritional value of food exist within a larger context. The CDC recommends adaptation activities to reduce health related impacts of the anticipated food security challenges. Changing the way we go about agricultural practices, food distribution systems, and consumer food choices, also play key roles in solving the global crisis. The USDA also reports that climate change is very likely to affect global, regional, and local food security by disrupting food availability, decreasing access to food, and making utilization more difficult. As part of a highly integrated global food system, consumers and producers in the United States are likely to be affected by these changes. Adaptation across the food system has great potential to manage climate-change effects on food security, and the complexity of the food system offers multiple potential points of intervention for decision makers at every level, from households to nations and international governance structures. The right to have backyard chickens/chicken coops is part and parcel of Crown Point citizens’ right to self sustaining and environmentally sound living practices. Creating a new ordinance that allows residents of Crown Point to own egg laying chickens and coops, is an easy solution to a global concern. Chickens provide a chemical free and organic food supply with high nutrient and protein value to my children at very little cost and work. It is the citizens right to self-determination to procure a secure source of healthy and nutritious food. Chickens are a necessary element to environmentally friendly, self-sustaining gardening practices that promote healthy food security. Food security is a fundamental human right, that is paramount to the health and wellbeing of the citizens of Crown Point.

When you spend a fair bit of money on a new car, you expect it to provide some peace of mind and ease of use. Not a hidden feature which isn't disclosed when purchasing or test-driving the vehicle.

Having a stable power is our right and not a privilege. We can't live with constant power outages. We are starting this petition to get over 2k people to sign and share the result with the headquarters and human right for action. Please sign and share as much as possible. After getting the target number we will request KPLC to add Elwak to its national grid to which, if they refuse we shall peacefully do away with KPLC and invite other electricity companies, the past and present leaders are and have never tried to bring a solution thus its high time we as clients to take the matter into our hands and do something.

If the fees are left un-challenged it will destroy the industry

Let me introduce myself. My name is Elissa Brown and I am a 52 year old breast cancer survivor single mother of two disabled children. When I was in my teenage years I had already made one of the biggest life saving decisions of my life. I had made the decision that when I am diagnosed with breast cancer, I was going to have a bilateral mastectomy. Until then I was going to be very diligent on my preventative care to find the cancer early. It was just going to be a matter of time for this to happen. My two paternal aunts passed away from breast cancer (1 misdiagnosed for not having it). My mother and her sister had breast cancer as well however, both survivors. We all had the genetic testing, but none of us carry the gene, yet all were diagnosed . So at the age of 46 I was diagnosed and had my bilateral mastectomy, expanders and implants. As my yearly preventative care came around, I was then informed I am no longer eligible for preventative care. At that point, I had demanded an ultrasound and was not going to take no for an answer. The doctor that did the mastectomy did an ultrasound and found a 6 mm smooth round nodule (not a cyst). However, if it is not a cyst, then what is it? I’m not concerned with a cyst, I want to know what it is. The doctor said he will see me in 6 months. After his response, I decided to seek Healthcare somewhere else. I’m glad I did because the smooth round nodule (not a cyst had to be removed). Every year, I go to the doctor for my yearly check up and they feel my implants and tell me I am fine. I have a huge problem with this. The doctor cannot feel behind the implants. To tell me I that I am cancer free is a lie. A doctor can’t possibly know this without testing if you have implants. You hear EVERY DAY, “well she had breast cancer and was in remission but now she is dead”. She probably wasn’t in remission. She didn’t get tested until it was to late. Problem is you don’t feel cancer until it’s to late. How many times do you hear this story? A LOT. Maybe something needs to finally be done about it. I would rather have the Radiology in an MRI and find the cancer before it’s a problem, then to have an MRI to find out I am dying. People don’t have a mastectomy to die from breast cancer, we have it to save our lives. However, not being entitled to life saving tests yearly just like everyone else, is actually taking my rights away. If I have medical coverage, even if you don’t; you should still be entitled to the same testing everyone else is. Stress causes Cancer. You know what is stressful everyday? Wondering if you have cancer the past 4 years, but don’t know because you have no rights to testing like everyone else, because you cut your percentage down by having a mastectomy. Well obviously not if everyday we are hearing this same thing “she had cancer, was in remission, but we caught it to late this time”. Ask yourself; if you, your mother, grandmother, daughter, granddaughter fought breast cancer and had a mastectomy, would you be upset if they weren’t allowed the medical care they deserve and pay for? Would you be upset if they could have found it sooner, but didn’t so now they will suffer in pain till they die? What about the loved ones watching them die a slow death everyday from cancer but they didn’t have to, because a test would have found it earlier. Also every breast center needs to have a psychologist and psychiatrist on staff. Mental health providers have long waiting lists or do not accept your medical coverage. Everyone who is having a surgery that deforms you, you cannot mentally prepare yourself to take your bandage off. Transgenders can’t have their reassignment surgery without seeking mental therapy and having approval. Why are cancer patients held to less standards and this is actually emergency surgery to save your life. Something urgently needs to be done for cancer survivors preventative care. Physical leads to mental and mental leads to physical. So how does one heal if you cannot care for both issues? I ask you to make this issue your utmost priority and think of how children can actually have their parent or a spouse can have their spouse or a parent can have their child for many more years. You can fix this and make this happen.

U proteklih desetak godina na području grada izgrađene su 4 velike stambene zgrade sa nekoliko stotina stanova. U isto vrijeme oko tih zgrada je izgrađeno NULA parking mjesta. Stanari novih zgrada imaju izbor da kupe parking mjesto u suterenu zgrade ili da parkiraju na parking mjestima izgrađenim oko starijih zgrada ili javnih objekata. Korisnici poslovnih prostora u tim zgradama su prinuđeni koristiti parking mjesta oko drugih zgrada čime dovode u nepovoljan položaj stanare zgrada koje su izgrađene ranije, uz poštivanje standarda. Podsjećam, prema normativima koji se trenutno koriste kod izrade regulacionih planova za stambeni prostor je potrebno obezbijediti 1,1 parking mjesta (PM) po stanu (jedno za svaki stan i 10% za goste), za poslovne prostore jedno PM za svakih 60 m2 bruto građevinske površine, za administrativni prostor jedno PM za svakih 30m2 bruto građevinske površine. Šta mi imamo na Banovcu? U zadnjih desetak godina regulacioni plan Banovac je promijenjen najmanje tri puta. Podsjetiću vas da je na ovom lokalitetu bila planirana gradnja gradskog bazena, zatim komercijalnih garaža, onda stanogradnja po jednom planu i na kraju urbicid po najnovijem planu. Da li znate da vas očekuje 6 spratova na livadici u četverouglu fazum- žuta zgrada – A2 – crvena zgrada? Znate li da se na preostalom zemljištu, pored izgrađene neuseljene zgrade, tačnije iza nje planira izgradnja još najmanje tri zgrade, vjerujem po 6 spratova svaka? Da li su stanari koji su kupovali stanove u ovim zgradama, kada su bile na prostranim i osunčanim lokacijama, znali da će dobiti nove na svega nekoliko metara? Da li su prevareni? Da li znate da se čitavo ovo naselje u izgradnji, sa stotinama novih stanova, zajedno sa Podlugovima i donjim dijelom općine napaja pitkom vodom kroz jednu cijev promjera 20 cm? Da li mislite da ćete imati dovoljno pitke vode već sljedećeg ljeta, posebno ovi na višim spratovima novih zgrada? Da li znate ko ima koristi od svega? Znate li ko će godinama plaćati cijenu koristi iz prethodnog pitanja? Svi mi. Ko je sve to omogućio a ko može zaustaviti? Naš grad je jedan od rijetkih u kojima ne morate plaćati parking, bilo da tu živite ili ste gost. Pretjeranom stanogradnjom na jednom uskom području se vještački izaziva nestašica parking prostora. Kome to ide u prilog? Ide u prilog budućem investitoru koji će graditi komercijalne garaže (sada su predviđene pored Binga). Ko će platiti cijenu profita budućeg investitora? Svi mi koji nećemo imati gdje parkirati svoje vozilo. Oni koji žive u zgradama izgrađenim u bivšoj državi će se boriti za parking mjesto sa stanarima novih zgrada koji neće moći odvojiti 15-20 hiljada KM za parking mjesto u podrumu zgrade u kojoj će živjeti. Možda će imati dva ili više automobila po stanu. Možda ćete samo trebati šišanje ili uređivanje obrva u jednom od salona u jednoj od novih zgrada u kojima je investitor trebao obezbijediti parking i za bricu i za mušteriju. Nema veze, biće plaćeni parking kod Binga, do brice ćete prošetati. Ako bude dovoljno hladno možda obrve same spadnu do kozmetičarke. Ko je odgovoran za ovakvo stanje? Isključivo Općina Ilijaš koja investitorima dozvoljava da im se podzemne garaže računaju kao dovoljne, dozvoljava da se parking mjesta za poslovne prostore koriste na javnim parkinzima, ona koja prodaje lotove u milionskim iznosima pa onda vraća uslugu investitoru odobravanjem dehumanizacije ljudskog življenja u prenatrpanim prostorima, kao da ne postoji nijedno drugo mjesto za gradnju. Konfiguracija terena u gradu kojem živimo je veoma nepovoljna za prirodno strujanje zraka i uglavnom smo na vrhu liste po zagađenosti zraka u BiH. Gradnja većeg broja visokih zgrada uz postojanje Savića brda u neposrednoj blizini će dodatno otežati cirkulaciju zraka i kvalitet zraka će dodatno opasti. Šta možemo učiniti? Kao prvo nemojmo dozvoliti da nam se klasični urbicid i omogućavanje extra profita investitorima predstavi kao društveni napredak. To nije slučaj. Možemo takođe potpisati peticiju na ovom linku: sa sljedećim zahtjevima: 1. Da se hitno izmijeni regulacioni plan kako bi se spriječila daljnja dehumanizacija života u Ilijašu; 2. Da se zaustavi izdavanje novih građevinskih dozvola na lokalitetu Banovac; 3. Da se izmijene izdate građevinske dozvole na način da se investitori obavežu da izgrade parking mjesta oko zgrada na način da se najviše jedna trećina potreba za parking mjestima ostvari u garažnim objektima a ostatak planira na otvorenom prostoru; 4. Da se neizgrađeno građevinsko zemljište na lokalitetu Banovac planira za izgradnju javnog parkinga i sportske plohe; 5. Da se omogući vodosnabdijevanje naselja na način koji neće uzrokovati nestašice vode u bilo koje doba godine. (Lista zahtjeva može biti dorađena sjednici Općinskog vijeća Općine Ilijaš kojoj će biti dostavljena)

I hope all MRCS candidates stand behind this petition so that it can reach the RCS. Hopefully, they will understand the devastating effect of this issue on our lives and our plans. Thank you
