Exclude Elon Musk from the UKThis is important because he is a key player in inciting disorder. In particular, he has played an active role in spreading disinformation in the UK after the recent tragic events in Southport. His involvement is not an isolated case. His Twitter/X platform is not merely a place for free speech but a deliberate way for Elon Musk to exercise power over national governments across the world.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Scott Barrett

Bristol says NO to Section 60Section 60 is a racist power Official statistics show that Section 60 powers are used disproportionately against Black people. A Black person is 8.7 times more likely to be stopped than a white person during a suspicionless search operation. It's ineffective Nationally, in the year ending March 2023, 5% of Section 60 searches resulted in an arrest, up from 3% the previous year. And in roughly 71% of stop and searches, the outcome was recorded as needing ‘no further action’, similar to in recent years. An investigation into a police Section 60 operation in February by The Bristol Cable, which you can read here, found that: • Officers stopped and searched innocent children, at least one on his way home from school. He says he felt he was only stopped because he’s Black. • We spoke to a youth worker who supported the child who was stopped. The boy had been a victim of knife violence himself a month earlier, and this damaged his trust in policing, feeling that officers were out to get him, not protect him. • The police can offer no evidence that the suspicionless stop and search operation was a successful deterrent against knife violence. • Campaigners say the retort from police forces that Section 60 is used to protect Black communities from knife crime is shown time and time again to be a lie. Police have no metric to prove the operation’s deterrent-effect. • The police narrative that the operation was carried out with the consent of the community it impacted is misleading. • Community members have said the police communication at community meetings about the Section 60 operation, both before and after it was enacted, was dishonest. • The damage the operation did has contributed to the mistrust in policing in the areas it was used, undermining its anti-racism plan. • Campaigners say Section 60 is a racist power that amounts to human rights abuses – namely racial profiling and traumatising children. • How meaningful can the force’s anti-racism reforms be, if it continues to use repressive tactics under Section 60?150 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Bristol Cable

Compensate infected blood scandal victims now!The Infected Blood Inquiry has concluded that victims were betrayed over decades by politicians, and the medical profession. The blood scandal cover up saw thousands die, as patients were knowingly exposed to unacceptable risks of infection from contaminated blood, while children and adults were used as human guinea pigs, the report found. And it adds that slow government decision making, combined with a "doctor knows best" mindset meant guidance meant to stop unsafe practices came too late. The Government must not act slowly again in launching a proper compensation scheme. No more delays, no trying to kick it to the next government to deal with: set up a compensation scheme now.3,616 of 4,000 Signatures

Stop Delaying our Abortion RightsWhile politicians delay, our women suffer. Just this week a woman is standing trial for an alleged illegal abortion, with a possible sentence of up to life in prison - the harshest in the world. The last 2 years have seen record numbers of police investigations and prosecutions for suspected illegal abortion. Women are facing years-long police investigations, their properties searched, blood samples taken without consent, and getting arrested straight from the hospital ward. All for having an abortion, a form of healthcare. Our abortion rights are under attack. Dame Diana Johnson MP's amendment NC1 to the Criminal Justice Bill will decriminalise abortion for women. We deserve to live in a country where women can make the decision that is right for them, and this amendment is the first step. The Leader of the House will only set a date if there’s huge public pressure about the ridiculous delays to the vote. That’s why we need people like you to sign the petition so that MPs can do the right thing and vote to end prison time for women who have an abortion once and for all.10,454 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by BPAS

Make it illegal to drive off after hitting a catAfter losing our beautiful mainecoon cat due to a careless driver, I was shocked to read that it is not a legal requirement for drivers to stop if they are to hit a cat whilst driving, this absolutely blows my mind - it is a legal requirement for drivers to stop for other animals such as dogs, horses, pigs etc but why should cats not be included within this law? They are just as loved as any other animal. The impact it has on a family having to deal with their pet being killed and left is unexplainable until it happens to you, the on going questioning and wondering in your mind. It makes it very hard to get closure and move forward and grieve as you rightly should. There are so many incidents of this happening - only takes a minute to look through social media and see how many people are upset/angry/devastated that someone has left their loved pet to die! Surely something has to change, people deserve to have answers just as they would if their pet was a dog and so on. Please sign if you agree cats deserve the same compassion as other 'working animals'. Cats are still loved and are still part of someone's family.361 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Maria Jenkins

Give Alan Bates and all other victims of the Horizon scandal the compensation they deserveAlan Bates, the former sub-postmaster who led the campaign for justice in the Post Office Horizon scandal was offered an “offensive and cruel” amount of compensation, a sixth of what he’s requested. So, he plans to reject it. Bates' campaigning inspired the recent “Mr Bates vs The Post Office” TV drama which told the story of sub-postmasters and postmistresses who were wrongly prosecuted due to faulty accounting software. He is one of thousands eligible for compensation from the Government. The Government, along with Fujitsu who created the Horizon software, will be hoping that public anger will have died down for this campaign. But, their latest act shows that we need to carry on the fight to help these innocent people get justice and compensation.135,595 of 200,000 Signatures

APA: Urgent Call for Inquiry and Transparency in the Arrest of Children by the Metropolitan Police.This petition is a pivotal step in addressing the deeply ingrained issues of racial profiling and the excessive use of force by the Metropolitan Police against Black children. It transcends the mere acknowledgement of systemic injustices; it is about protecting our community's future and ensuring equitable treatment for all children, irrespective of race. Your engagement in this initiative is essential. Together, we have the opportunity to strengthen our collective voice, advocating for transparency, accountability, and crucial reforms in police conduct. This movement is about forging a just and fair society, one where the rights and safety of all children are a priority. Moreover, this petition is critical in preventing the potential for civil unrest. The disproportionate targeting and mistreatment of black children by law enforcement not only erodes the fabric of our society but also risks sparking widespread discontent and disturbances. By standing united in this cause, we aim to achieve more than policy change; we strive to avert the societal strife that stems from such profound injustice. Joining this campaign is a step towards creating a city where the broken trust is rebuilt between the police and the communities they serve, and every child is valued and respected.41 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lee Jasper

Improve the conditions of police holding cells!Our research has shown that 74% of people think that police holding cells require improvement and 83% of people think that police holding cells should become more adapted for neurodivergent and/or young people. People who have stayed in holding cells have described them as "oppressive" "made me feel insignificant" "very minimal". This is not acceptable conditions for people who may not have committed a crime to stay in.64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Yasmin George

Sub-Post Office Victims Exoneration PlaquesReparations for major injustices are never only about compensation. They are also about public recognition of the harm inflicted and a permanent, public acknowledgement by the perpetrators of that harm, and a setting straight of the record. This would serve as a permanent and local reminder across the country of their innocence, their public duty and the scandalous way they were treated.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Syd Bolton
