• DRBC, Reject PennEast and Close the File
    We've started this petition to gather individual signatures to accompany a letter that organizations opposing the PennEast pipeline have written and are preparing to submit. Here is the letter in full: Dear DRBC Commissioners, It is time for the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) to act on the PennEast pipeline! It’s time to REJECT the project and CLOSE the file. The actions you take and the decisions you make regarding the PennEast pipeline are setting precedent for every other pipeline to follow. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware waterways, the natural landscapes that dictate the health of their water resources, and all of the communities that depend on healthy waters, healthy forests, and the healthy economies that healthy waterways and ecosystems provide -- are being hard hit by the onslaught of fracked gas pipelines emanating from the fracking shale fields. It has been over 3 ½ years since the PennEast pipeline company filed its application with the DRBC. Since that time organizations, communities, along with their experts, have documented the false, misleading and missing information in the PennEast application materials; we have demonstrated the irreparable harm that PennEast would inflict if constructed; there have been significant route changes; and a federal court ruling has upheld the right of the state of New Jersey to deny PennEast the power of eminent domain to take and/or infringe on its property rights which will necessarily result in a new round of route changes. All the while, the devastating impacts of climate change – a human-induced catastrophe in large part driven by fracking and their pipelines – including on communities, environments, and water resources are growing at an unprecedented and soon to be unstoppable rate. It is time for the Delaware River Basin Commission to make clear it has jurisdiction over the entire pipeline right of way (every square inch and every impacted resource) and then to step up and deny a docket to the PennEast pipeline. At this time when the federal government is working hard to reduce the authority that states have to protect their water resources, and given the massive explosion of gas drilling and associated infrastructure, the role of the Delaware River Basin Commission to protect the water resources of our region is more important than ever. It is no longer legally appropriate, nor morally defensible, for you to continue to keep the application file open and leave communities and natural resources across the basin threatened with harm from the ever-present PennEast-axe hanging over our heads.

  • San Leandro Climate Emergency Resolution
    San Leandro has felt the impacts of climate change firsthand, including drought, pollution, and rising ocean waters, and if no mitigating action is taken within the next decade our future will be in jeopardy. Fight with us to demand Mayor Cutter take the following bold, immediate actions: (1) Update the City’s Climate Action Plan without further delay and begin implementation immediately; (2) Join the rapidly emerging regional mobilization for a just transition to a sustainable economy, and; (3) Acknowledge the urgency of the climate crisis by issuing a formal declaration of a citywide climate emergency. Declare a citywide emergency to protect our environment.

  • Tell 2020 candidates to show up for the Climate Strike on 9/20
    The US Youth Climate Strike, Sunrise Movement, 350.org, and many others have been among those leading the climate movement in the United States. While we continue to support calls for a climate debate, we must recognize other opportunities to speak out about the climate crisis. The CNN town hall on climate was a good first step. All candidates should also participate in the MSNBC town hall. However, knowing there are Climate Strike events all over the country means every candidate will have an opportunity to step off the political stage and instead join the grassroots movement in solidarity. We can't wait until after the 2020 elections to start tackling the existential crisis facing human life on this planet. We have to mobilize now. Tell the 2020 candidates to make plans to join a Climate Strike event this Friday. MoveOn.org/ClimateStrike

  • Fire the NM Game Commission
    The New Mexico legislature has failed to restrict trapping, leaving it to the Game Commission, appointed by the governor, to respond to public outcry against this cruel practice. But the Game Commission has restricted public testimony at its meetings to a minute or two, in order to allow the Game Department to continue its hunting and trapping policies.

  • Protect the Orca Whales
    It is cruel to pull whales out of their natural habitat and force them to perform. These animals are meant to live in the ocean where they can swim freely and be with their families.

  • Save Right Whales: Test Ropeless Gear Now!
    The North Atlantic right whale is a critically endangered species that is dying at an extreme rate. There are less than 400 in existence, and 2% of the population has died off this summer. As we write, four whales are entangled in fishing gear. One whale, an 18-year-old male, was found entangled in a lethal 300 feet of rope. The rope had pinned the whale’s right flipper to his body, his mouth was wired shut, his baleen was sticking out of his mouth and therefore he could not feed. This is egregious and wrong. It's time for us to adopt ropeless gear as a solution to this easily solvable problem. Lobstermen should not use technology from the 1800s to fish in the 21st century. The Massachusetts Lobstermen’s Association has paved the way to allow lobstermen to band together for ocean conservation while maintaining the economic interest of its members. We call on the Massachusetts Lobstermen’s Association to test ropeless gear as the North American right whales are dying at a critical rate. They must test and implement ropeless gear in order to stand by their ethos of supporting “the interdependence of species conservation” and embracing the new technology that was created to save these whales.

  • Hane's Farm Sand Mine
    The proposed mine will be located in the heart of Brices Creek. This residential area consists of numerous subdivisions that are home to thousands of people. The environmental and economic impact will be felt by every resident and every homeowner. The quality of life that we have all enjoyed for so many years will be diminished and replaced with heavy equipment, noise pollution, construction traffic, and unknown environmental issues yet to be determined.
