Save Abdul Ali and Family from Taliban Torture now!Adbul Ali did everything possible re documentation, application only to be denied safe passage by not fulfilling criteria. He risked his - and his family's lives - to assist in trying to give a life free from tyranny and torture to the population of Afghanistan by assisting our forces. Now these forces are gone and these friends have been deserted and left to fend for themselves against the terror of the Taliban, ISIS and others.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark Brown

Improving internet access in the local Bournemouth area.Internet access, whether you like it or not, is vital especially in this day and age because having the luxury of brilliant internet provides you with various different benefits. Good broadband is a necessity for communication between friends and family and for other leisures, like improved education, daily activities, and potentially even gaming. Furthermore, from where I stand, I personally concur that good broadband speeds can make life easier in a multitude of different ways, whether it’s financially or if it’s simply just for the fun of it!12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tom G-B

BRING CONJUGAL VISITS TO THE UK!!conjugal visits Are important to both the prisoner and their loved ones. Being a partner on the outside it has proven and research shows not being able to be with your Partner in a intimacy way has a great strain on both mental parties health and causes more upset and tension and frustration that you could not possibly imagine. It’s proven to be a struggle to maintain a relationship when a loved one is serving years behind bars, and not being able to have a loving relationship with their partner is a far bigger effect than you may think. conjugal visits – which are not permitted in the UK but operate successfully in much of Europe, Canada and even the Middle East. So why can’t we have these visits in the UK? There’s a lot of evidence around how having a strong relationship on the outside is a very good indicator that you won’t go on and commit other crimes, and this could lead to prisoners being more relieved and stressed and agitated. The rigid structure of prison visits undoubtedly contributes to relationship breakdown. Visits take place around a table, often with a piece of wood underneath to prohibit anything being passed between. The security search process for visitors, and any delays getting prisoners out of their cells mean that a two-hour visit can easily end up being half an hour shorter. Women with children usually bring them – so time spent alone, partner-to-partner, is a rarity. If conjugal visits was allowed I’m sure so many would jump at the chance to have that intimacy with their loved ones. They do it all over the place because it improves outcomes for prisoners, it improves outcomes for their wives – we don’t do it in Britain because we’re really prudish. Help me sign this petition into having that closeness we lack with our partners.76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jamiiee Lee Hollier

Travel covid testsThe public and travel industry have suffered enough for the past year plus. Instead of hitting us with even more hardships and expenses if travelling abroad becomes a reality. These are private companies selling the tests and will no doubt reap the benefits of this demand on us. We are told the tests are to protect us all so why do we have to pay and make private companies wealthy, they should be free. We need to let the Government know we are against this unfair cost.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tony Bain

Accessible Toilets and Suitable Breaks for Delivery Drivers Across the UKGoing to the toilet is natural, and it is a basic human right to be able to do so. Since COVID-19, there has been an increased demand for delivery drivers, from Amazon to Sainsbury's, and these workers are often left in the middle of an unknown rural area, desperate for the toilet. Not only are they often left without access to toilet facilities, but they are often not even allocated suitable time during shift for toilet breaks. Imagine needing a toilet out in the middle of nowhere, during a pandemic, under a strict time pressure. What would you do? We have all seen posts and news articles of van drivers shamed for doing something natural. Instead of humiliating them, let's do something to change the situation and make it more humane for everyone!13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steph Willow

WE HAVE A RIGHT TO THE NIGHTWe have a right to go without fear of violence by day and night. We have a right to safety in our cities, streets, homes and communities. This is a human right. A right we should and must all have, regardless of our gender identity, race, religion, class, sexuality and dis/abilities. A right that some were born with and some still need to claim everyday. It is vital to rethink who’s at threat in the streets and all public places. With the “ We have a right to the night” campaign, we are reclaiming our nights, standing together in memory of Sarah Everard and all people harmed by state and gendered violence. We won’t stay silent. We won’t let anyone telling us again to stay indoors for our safety. Enough is enough. We must stop being blamed for the violence towards us. Telling us how we should behave for our safety is allowing abusers to take up space. It’s giving them the power to keep insulting, catcalling, spiting, grabbing, slapping, punching, raping, murdering us. We also want to address the key role that education has in the deconstruction of a patriarchal system that perpetuates oppression and exploitation. We must question and rethink our children’s education. We must start educating our sons in the respect of everybody. We must stop teaching our daughters to be scared but empower them. We must give space and listen to LBGTQIA+ children / teenagers, for them to embrace and celebrate their identities. Last week a woman was killed. Killed by the system we’re told protects. Once more. It’s a moment where people need space to mourn, share and rise up. Injustice tightens the need to stand in togetherness. It’s a time to care for Sarah Everard’s murder. And beyond. It’s a time to care for each other and make sure no one is left behind. We must deconstruct the old political discourse around gender violence, so we can protect, support and give space to all victims. We are disgusted but not surprised that the only response that was made by authorities was to increase police presence in our streets. More police has never been the answer. Police violence is a reality for many of us, especially for BIPOC, sex workers, trans and non-binary people. Sarah Everad’s murder proves us once more that we can’t feel protected by the police. How could we trust an institution that was created to protect people in power ? How could we trust them when they cannot even ensure the reliability of their own staff members ? How could we trust an institution that is racist, misogynistic, homophobic and transphobic? We will hold boroughs, MPs, councils and the government accountable for not putting everything in place to end all gendered violence, including police, state and interpersonal. We will hold them accountable for the police brutality during last Saturday’s vigil. However, we want to recognize all the existent strategies that we have always created to keep each other safe and we want to keep on building more. We claim that we don’t need our abusers to patronize us into power dynamics disguised as fake protection. We can and will keep on showing up for each other, extending our solidarity and creating further our resistance. Our campaign aims to give visibility to all victims of male violence and we urge that actions are taken to end all gendered violence. Inspired by The Outside Project’s COVID19 campaign ‘make space for homeless queers’, we are inviting all victims and survivors of male violences to take a picture of themselves holding our online protest message “ We have a right to the night #reclaimthestreets #stopallgenderedviolences” and share it on their social medias as well as signing this petition. This letter is for those of you who have experienced any type of male violences in the streets, in your homes, at work — and all public spaces. We stand beside all of you regardless of your gender, sexuality, dis/abilities, ethnic, religious and class background. UNITED WE WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED !
