We perform calculations of $s$-$d_{5/2}$ nuclear-spin-dependent parity nonconservation amplitudes for Rb, Cs, Ba${}^{+}$, Yb${}^{+}$, Fr, Ra${}^{+}$, and Ac${}^{2+}$. These systems prove to be good candidates for use in atomic experiments to extract the so-called anapole moment, a $P$-odd $T$-even nuclear moment important for the study of parity-violating nuclear forces. We also extend our previous works by calculating the missed spin-dependent amplitudes for the $s$-$d_{3/2}$ transitions in the above systems.
