Miya’s Law

Cameron — Miya Marcano was murdered by a maintenance worker who gained access to her apartment using a master key. She was just 19 years old. Now, her family is fighting to protect all Florida renters. They helped introduce Miya's Law, which would require higher levels of background checks and restrict the use of master keys. Join Miya's family in ensuring no other family faces the tragedy they did. I Support Miya's Law 13,117 have signed Miya Marcano Foundation's petition. Let's get to 15,000! Sign now with a click Florida residents are being coerced against their will to remain in environments that are inconducive to their personal safety due to the current laws governing Landlord-Tenant relationships. Stricter laws must be implemented and enforced that require landlords to obtain extensive background checks on employees whose duties entail the gaining of permissible access into residential dwellings. Currently, Landlords are free to: Gain access to tenants' dwellings with notice as little as only 12 hours; Evict tenants for reporting safety and security complaints; Unrestrictedly update tenants' record with derogatory marks, which negatively impacts the tenant's credit and rental history implicating the tenant's inability to secure future residence; Avoid criminal penalty when employees use apartment issued resources to commit crimes against tenants, and Hire employees and give them master key access without proper background checks. On September 24, 2021, Miya Marcano was murdered by a maintenance worker who gained access to her apartment using a master key issued by his employer. Miya's Law: Expecting Safety and Security What is Miya's Law? Miya's Law is proposed bi-partisan legislation in the State of Florida (HB426/SB426) that endeavors to ensure an elevated expectancy of residential security and personal safety on residential properties in the State of Florida. In this light, strict governance on the implementation of higher levels of background checks, limitations on the use of master keys, will ensure the protection of all tenants and aid in strengthening the relationships between landlords and tenants. Who Miya's Law Will Protect? Miya's Law will ensure the safety and protection of our most vulnerable population, including: our students our young-adult children, our single mothers our elderly, and 2.8 million Florida renters Why is Miya's Law Needed? Miya's Law is critically needed to provide greater personal security and enhanced expectation of safety to students and other vulnerable populations (e.g. elderly) who live in multi- or single-unit residential properties in the State of Florida.  Sign now with a click Visit petition page At Change.org, we believe in the voice of everyday people.

Let Marvin the Cat stay

Cameron — Marvin the cat was born in a parking lot and made his way into the Queens Shops mall and into the hearts of everyone. He has fans and friends from all over the world who follow him on Instagram and Facebook. But management wants to kick him out. Marvin is only 4 years old and has never lived anywhere else—to place him into a kennel or shelter would simply be cruel. Sign the petition to management so that Marvin can stay in Queens Shops—it's his home. Save Marvin of Queens Shops 2,613 have signed Save Marvin Of Queens Shops's petition. Let's get to 5,000! Sign now with a click Marvin, also known as The Mayor of Queens Shops, The Mayor of Queens' Marketplace, The Queens Shops Greeter, The Waikoloa Starbucks Cat, The Queens Shop Mascot, is being evicted by management.  Marvin is a beloved fixture at Queens Shops. He has friends and fans literally all over the world who follow him on Facebook and Instagram. Marvin was born in the parking lot and made his way into the mall and into the hearts of everyone in the mall, employees, customers, tourists….everyone loves him.  Marvin is about 4 years old and has never lived anywhere else. Queens Shops is home to him. The people he sees every day are his family.  He's safe from cars, mean people, aggressive dogs and even aggressive other cats. He's not a nuisance. He knows where he's welcome and where he's not. One clothing store doesn't want him to come in, understandably, not everyone wants the possibility of cat hair on their clothes. If he comes to the door they just say no Marvin and shoo him away.  He's no maintenance, low energy, easy going and laid back, a bright spot in so many people's day, he brings a smile to everyone's face.  Not to mention, he's totally deaf in one ear.  The big world outside of the mall is a very dangerous place for a deaf animal.  For Marvin to be put into a kennel at a shelter would be cruel.  Taking him home could be a challenging transition. If he were to escape from a strange home, anywhere on the island, he'd do whatever it takes to find his way back to Queens Shops, and more than likely get killed on the road.    Marvin needs to be allowed to stay in his home.   Let's show the owner and management of Queens Shops that we love and support Marvin !!
