Help these Atomic Cleanup Veterans get the compensation, medical care, and recognition as other Atomic Veterans. My husband has suffered from late-stage colon cancer and after over 7 years he is still fighting for care and compensation. Out of over 8000 participants, there are less than 500 known survivors in which the majority are fighting for their lives, battling cancer, lung issues, thyroid issues, kidney, colon and other ailments from their exposure to the toxins left behind from the 43 Nuclear blasts in the 1950's.

Oregon's air is unhealthy and harming vulnerable Oregonians. The cause is preventable mobile and industrial pollution. The biggest and most harmful source of air pollution is dirty diesel engines. Heavy metals and other toxics stick to fine, sooty particles in diesel emissions that can make their way deep into our bodies where they can cause cancer, heart attacks, asthma attacks, stroke, infertility, and more. Thankfully, there is a clear solution: Oregon needs a statewide diesel emissions standard (like our neighbors CA and WA have) that requires cleaner-running diesel engines. New diesel engines (built after 2007) run quite clean (with up to 95% less pollution); the problem is diesel engines last a l-o-n-g time and Oregon doesn't require the new technology. Older diesel engines contribute to 60-70% of Oregon’s particulate pollution (DEQ). If we don't take action, Oregonians will be stuck with dirty diesel & dirty air for decades to come. Don't let that happen.Oregonians deserve to breathe clean air all the time wherever they live, work, and play.

We know 45's Polluting Pruitt wants to destroy the Environmental Protection Agency. Now other Republicans are trying to help him - I guess in case Pruitt gets stopped. Head 'em off before the pass.

I'm a concerned citizen who has witnessed the devastation of our land, water, and air by the careless actions of others. We need to wake up and act today!

I lost my job designing and installing rooftop solar systems after the Nevada Public Utilities Commission killed Nevada’s rooftop solar industry. I had to leave my newborn son behind to take a job in Texas to support my family. Now there’s a chance to bring rooftop solar jobs back to Nevada. The Nevada Legislature will be considering bills on rooftop solar, but we have to act fast. The legislature only meets every two years, for just four months.

Michigan taxpayers are already funding Gov. Snyder's personal legal defense for the Flint Water Crisis. Now Snyder's office says that taxpayers will also pay to defend Flint Emergency Managers Darnell Earley and Gerald Ambrose – the Snyder administration cronies running the city when the water turned deadly. Enough is enough. Flint residents and fellow Michiganders shouldn’t be forced to pay to keep the officials who wronged them out of prison. It adds insult to injury – and it’s got to stop. Tell the Michigan Legislature to stop Gov. Snyder from raiding the public treasury today.

A major source of our state's drinking water, the Pinelands, will be at risk if the South Jersey Gas pipeline gets approved. The construction will destroy critical habitat and would affect drinking water for more than a million people. Long term, if the pipeline is approved it would open the floodgates to even more development. The pipeline violates the strong rules that protect the Pinelands, but the Commission in charge of the Pinelands is considering letting the pipeline get built anyway. The good news is that massive local opposition has forced the Commission to extend its public comment period, and now we have until February 8 to weigh in. We can win this fight, but it's going to come down to keeping up the public outcry. Add your name to our letter to help stop South Jersey Gas pipeline!

An anti-science “alternative facts” bill just passed the South Dakota Senate and is headed to the House Education Committee this Friday. The bill, SB 55, would permit the teaching of nonscientific ideas and opinions—like climate change denialism—in science classes. It would allow miseducation of students about climate change and other topics, with local or state administrators unable to intervene. The National Science Teachers Association is strongly opposing SB 55. And the American Institute of Biological Sciences says, "we should be working to strengthen our science education system—not enabling the misrepresentation of science in the classroom." Urge South Dakota Education Committee members to support evidence-based science education, and to reject the "alternative facts" anti-science bill, SB 55!

Although the fossil fuel industry, including SoCal Gas, continues to delay action, deny science, and destroy our health and climate, the people are waking up to say "Keep It In the Ground!"

We just won! http://usuncut.com/resistance/hunters-fishermen-public-land/ I am a member of and volunteer for Sierra Club, and I am fighting to keep our federal lands free of all ways to gut them and their budgets as a way for US OIL-igarchy and corps takeover to the detriment of the people.

President Trump's recent executive actions to push through the pipeline projects of the TransCanada Keystone XL pipeline and the Dakota Access Pipeline is a violation of Standing Rock Sioux Tribal sovereignty and marks the beginning of a full-frontal attack on Mother Earth on behalf of the fossil fuel industry. It's crucial we make our opposition heard. The Department of Army is now accepting public comments as part of the environmental impact statement for the Lake Oahe crossing by the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline—and we have until February 20 to submit our comments in opposition to this pipeline. Sign the petition now to submit your comment. President Trump's executive actions violate the legal and moral sovereign treaty rights of the Lakota, Nakota, and Dakota people and is an aggressive rebuke of more than 300 tribes who stand with Standing Rock in opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline. With the strength of prayers and people power, water protectors—Native and non-Native—across the country are more than ready to respond with sustained actions to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline and the Keystone XL Pipeline. Native Organizers Alliance will continue to support the tribal, spiritual, and grassroots-led movement which has mobilized millions to stand with Standing Rock. Stand with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and water protectors. Sign now to submit your comment.

The world will not last under the America First Energy Plan. Rather than double down on fossil fuels, as the new adminstration is attempting to do, we need to move rapidly and radically to renewable energy and strategies to drawdown greenhouse gas concentrations. The US has a huge responsibility and should have the ability to lead toward a climate resilient future, but we need to transform schools and communities into living laboratories of sustainable practices.
