Following Jesse Williams’ powerful acceptance speech at the 2016 BET Awards, Erin Smith created a petition for the Grey’s Anatomy star to be removed from the Shondaland show, which little over 10,000 #AllLivesMatter sympathizers have signed.
Instead of getting upset about Smith’s white tears, here are 13 more important petitions to sign on Change.org:
1. This petition to stop Amazon from selling hate books like I Hate Black Women.
2. This petition for Attorney General Loretta Lynch to take over the investigation into the death of Sandra Bland.
3. This petition to rename the Edmund Pettus Bridge, as it’s named for a former KKK member.
4. This petition to protect citizens from police misconduct.
5. This petition to stop Flint residents from paying for contaminated water.
6. This petition to the NCAA to inflict stronger punishments on sexually and physically violent athletes.
7. This petition to issue posthumous diplomas to the families of high school students who have passed.
8. This petition to remove Judge Aaron Persky from the bench due to his personal involvement with Brock Turner’s case.
