Mayor Kujala: No New Fossil Fuel Infrastructure in Warrenton, ORThe rapid development of fossil fuel resources in the western U.S. and Canada has resulted in numerous proposed fossil fuel infrastructure projects up and down the West Coast. These fossil fuel infrastructure projects pose significant risks to the health and safety of people and their environment, and threaten the livability of their communities. Coal, oil and gas carried out of west coast ports would carry as much carbon annually as five Keystone XL pipelines. Given the urgency of the threat posed to the people of Warrenton by a proposed LNG terminal and to our global environment, we urge you to act on this issue now by pledging to build no new fossil fuel infrastructure.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daphne Wysham

Save Allison Park in Miami Beach, FloridaOn December 9, 2015, the Miami Beach City Commissioners will vote to finally approve and send to referendum the construction of a 10,000 + square foot "Wellness Center" on a plot of land currently filled with green space. We, the undersigned, vehemently oppose the construction of any structure in Allison Park which will reduce our ocean front green space, and particularly, the proposed, three story structure to be owned and maintained by a private entity. Public green space is vital to the health and well being of all residents of Miami Beach. The additional parking congestion will negatively impact quality of life for local residents The lease of public land in this way will set a dangerous precedent: what park is next? We believe it is the duty of the present to safeguard this endangered resource for those of the future. While it is clearly time for the city to rethink its means of beach access for disabled persons, this does not necessitate the sacrifice of an entire plot of land, to the construction of a multi-story structure in an area designated as protected for the nesting of three endangered species of sea turtles. Join us in sending our message to the City of Miami Beach: Stop the proposed construction project in Allison Park—the green space of our city's tiniest park should not be up for grabs.2,204 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by marcus alonso

Tell President Obama to designate Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National MonumentThe Grand Canyon watershed is home to a unique array of native wildlife, hundreds of creeks and springs that millions of people rely on for drinking water, and thousands of acres of ancient forest — including the Southwest’s largest unprotected old-growth ponderosa pine forest. Tribes in the area, especially the Navajo Nation, Havasupai, Hualapai, and Hopi, have come together to help protect a region that is sacred. Right now, this natural and cultural treasure faces threats from many fronts — from unsafe uranium mining to devastating logging practices. There’s only one way to preserve the sanctity of these 1.7 million acres for generations to come: name it as a national monument. Tell President Obama to protect these important lands and designate the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument.3,306 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Sierra Club

OR AG Ellen Rosenblum: Prosecute Exxon for Climate DeceptionNewly revealed documents show that Exxon’s own scientists were aware of and studying the dangerous impacts of greenhouse gases in the 1970s and 1980s -- until Exxon’s leadership decided to shut down the research and promote climate denial instead, in order to protect the company’s unfathomably large profits. Now Oregonians -- like all other American citizens -- are suffering from the damages of Exxon's unlimited greenhouse pollution. The unprecedented drought, fueled by global warming, has already caused billions in damages and forced widespread water cutbacks. Intense wildfires are costing the state budget tens of millions of dollars a year. Sea level rise is already harming Oregon's coastal communities. And the risks of continued global warming pollution to the state are many times greater. The Oregon Attorney General's Office should use all of the tools at its disposal to prosecute Exxon’s deliberate deception -- such as state RICO laws, Oregon’s Unlawful Practices statute (ORS 646.607), consumer fraud statutes, or any other laws that are intended to protect Oregonian citizens from deliberate corporate misconduct. The attorneys general of 46 states successfully sued tobacco companies to pay for decades of deadly deceit -- now it’s time for Exxon and the fossil-fuel industry to pay for their climate crimes.138 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Brad Johnson

Protect New Mexico's Water Resources, Land, and TraditionsWe are asking the people of New Mexico to take a firm stand and commit to the protection and preservation of precious water resources, land, and traditions in our state. New Mexico continues to face great social, political, and economic challenges. The entire Southwest region is experiencing one of the worst droughts in the last 1,000 year period. Precious water systems across the state continue to be strained due to increased developments and heightened demands. Because of this, water struggles have become the norm across communities in our state (e.g. the battle against the Santolina Master Plan, the fight against water pumping in San Augustin Plains, the Gila River diversion battle, etc.). As people in New Mexico, we recognize the importance of protecting and preserving sacred and deeply rooted traditions (such as acequias and farming) that rely on precious water resources and land. We also recognize the fact that the people from New Mexico have a profound spiritual connection to water and land that goes beyond an economic value. We are asking you to sign this petition so that we can send a strong message to developers, politicians, and other entities who pose threats to the sacred traditions and ways of life that are so meaningful to our New Mexican communities. By signing this petition we are making a pledge to commit to the protection and preservation of water resources and traditions in our beautiful state. This will require awareness and active participation in helping to protect water and land-based traditions. We also recognize the responsibility we have in maintaining and protecting water and land for future generations to enjoy. By signing this petition, we consciously state that we understand that without land, there is no subsistence; and without water, there is no life. I am signing this petition because I am committed to the protection and preservation of New Mexico's sacred water resources, land, and traditions. El agua es sagrada. Water is sacred.102 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Center for Social Sustainable Sytems (CESOSS)
