Withdraw 'The Sun' from circulationRecent headlines claiming that 1 in 5 Muslims in the UK are sympathetic to ISIS is wrong and inflammatory. The consequence of these types of headlines will undoubtably result in hate crimes against Muslims in our community. Yes, ISIS (although we should refer to them as Daesh') - are evil and have to be dealt with, but associating Muslims with them, does no one any favours, especially in this way. Lest it is forgotten that they already kill Muslims.41 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Griggs

Re-opening the independent living fund for disabled peopleThis petition is important as it will widely help disabled people live their life independently and efficiently. 18,000 people with high support needs relied on the fund and said it "transformed their life". The fund has recently been closed resulting in changing peoples lives greatly in a negative way. This petition may contribute towards re-opening the independent living fund even if it is a small difference. Please take a couple of minutes out of your time to sign up for this campaign. It will be greatly appreciated :)31 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sonia Haider

damaging, racist and hateful drawing in the daily mailThis image instigates racial hatred and violence! I find this image unacceptable, offensive and an act of racism from the Daily Mail which will only create further divide and hate among people. After the shocking events of the weekend, surely now more than ever, we need to come together instead of creating a larger divide through hateful propagander!64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by sarah wade

STOP "Selective" Humanity Reports on MEDIAWe want the FULL TRUTH, visible and standing next to each other as Parisians are equal to Lebanese and Palestinians as ALL of us are HUMANs and suffer equally. Angelina Jolie posted about the ISIS attack in Lebanon which didn't receive any media coverage (see: https://www.facebook.com/OF.Angelina/photos/a.127159833963497.22403.127098593969621/1137146722964798/?type=3&fref=nf) Look at the current BBC website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news Can you find anything about Lebanon, other ISIS hit regions and daily Palestinian sufferings?20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daria Brovina

Respond to Paris attacks by welcoming Syrian refugeesWelcoming more refugees from Syria would be a beautiful and fitting memorial to those who were murdered in Paris, by reaching out to help these other victims of IS's violence. It would demonstrate the stark contrast between our bravery and compassion, and IS's corwardice and brutality. It would send a clear, defiant message that the UK will not bow to terrorism and will not give in to fear.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Hugh Griffiths

Allow the north of England to secede from the UK & join ScotlandThe deliberations in Westminster are becoming increasingly irrelevant to the north of England. The northern cities feel far greater affinity with their Scottish counterparts such as Glasgow and Edinburgh than with the ideologies of the London-centric south. The needs and challenges of the north cannot be understood by the endless parade of old Etonions lining the frontbenches of the House of Commons. The north of England should join the newly independent Scotland and regain control over its own destiny. We, the people of the north, demand that in the event that Scotland becomes independent the border between England and the New Scotland be drawn along a line that runs between the River Dee and the mouth of The Humber (see map). #TakeUsWithYouScotland14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by david l

The UK needs to do more to help with the refugee CrisisI am an A Level citizenship student and I feel the UK needs to do more to help with the refugees Crisis, focusing on Syria. I understand there is a lot of aid being sent,but in there situation what they really need is shelter and safety and not be abandoned on the sides of roads in makeshift camps such as the jungle camp in Calais. I am working closely with a team of dedicated persons acting on our assignment of completing some active citizenship. We would like to get at least one hundred signatures to show that our local area feels that change is needed. After We achieve the required amount of signatures we will compile a letter and send it to Christopher Chope(Christchurch MP) asking him to use his powers in the House of Commons to bring around change.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jack Rankin

Open up empty buildings in BurnleyTo plead to the Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Melissa Creelman

Allow British Families to stay togetherChange this unfair and discriminatory law that penalises British citizens. our family and thousands of other British families are affected by this, because our British born son married an american lady, and they have two sons. the present law will not allow our son to return home to the UK with his family, because he cannot fulfil the income requirements, even though they can live with us and we can help them until they find work. my husband and i are in our mid 60's. we should be able to enjoy the company of our family and our grandchildren, but we cannot.59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kathleen Downes

Tianamen Square in LondonOn Thursday the 22nd of October, the Metropolitan Police arrested Chinese democracy activist and Tianamen Square survivor, Shao Jiang, on 'suspicion of conspiracy to commit threatening behaviour'. His crime? He was holding up Amnesty International signs which read; 'End autocracy' and 'Democracy Now', as the Chinese President's, Xi Jinping, cavalcade drove past London's Mansion House. The arrest appears to indicate that the British government is willing to kowtow to China's wishes to suppress any criticism of the Chinese government. Unchallenged, these arrests could represent a very dangerous precedent and could be just the tip of the iceberg in eroding the democratic freedoms that British people have enjoyed for centuries. We urge you to sign this petition in order to protect our lond-held freedom to protest and express freedom of speech.47 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anna-sophie Hobson

Make married and unmarried fathers equal.In June 2014 my boyfriend whom I lived with for over four years, died very suddenly. At the time I was 35 weeks pregnant with our son. Our son was conceived as a result of IVF and both of us were looking forward to becoming parents. Because our son was born after his dad died I could not register his father on the birth certificate. So whilst coping with loss and grief as well as adjusting to being a new mum, I had to go to court to get a declaration of parentage order. I was told that because we were not married parentage could not be assumed - despite presenting the registrar with proof from the IVF clinic My late partner's family and friends were very supportive and along with letters of support from them as well as a sworn statement from me that we had been in a monogamous relationship, a judge agreed to allow my son to have his father's name on his birth certificate. It is grossly unfair and unjust that an unmarried father is still treated as a virtual stranger to his own child. I should not have had to go through court for this! The registration laws are out of date and do not reflect modern demographics.38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Deborah Pearson
