The Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee has advanced Trump's latest appointee to FERC, fossil fuel proponent Bernard McNamee. The full Senate will be voting on his confirmation soon. Call on the Senate to investigate the rampant abuses of FERC before approving another Fossil Fool to FERC!

Repeated DxE investigations of Adare Pork have found animals with their organs coming out of their bodies in a condition called prolapse. Despite numerous reports of this cruelty and neglect, the Ontario SPCA has ignored this cruelty. Now, an investigator is facing criminal charges for documenting Adare Pork's animal abuse. Tell the OSPCA you #SupportJenny and demand that the suffering pigs be helped.

1. We the affected residents, want federally certified water filtration/purification systems to be installed in every home, townhouse, apartment/apartment building, housing complexes, senior buildings, hospitals, schools, daycare centers, nursing homes, businesses/restaurants, and homeless shelters. 2. We want State and Federal Monitoring of all work and work-related contracts to Newark, New Jersey's servicing and repairing of the reservoirs. 3. We want a Forensic Audit of all Newark, New Jersey's Water Department finances and perpetual spending going back 15 years, including the Newark Watershed Conservation and Development Corp's spending; and Mayor Ras Baraka's 30% Water Bill increase in which the surplus collected was supposed to be used to fix the infrastructure of the city water system.

Since taking over the Lucedale Animal Shelter, Dixie Adoptables has saved the lives of over 2,000 animals in George County, but we are overwhelmed financially since we only receive funding from the city, not the county.

Allegheny County is denying us public access to information about where the fracking industry has leased land.  County Council Member Anita Prizio has introduced legislation to change this by creating an Allegheny County Lease registry. It would allow residents, local governments and public safety personnel to know where fracking leases are in the county. Making this information available to the public would give us the time we need to organize to prevent fracking wells.

Alpha Natural Resources' subsidiary Republic Energy has applied for renewal of the 2,040-acre (3+ square miles) "Eagle 2" mountaintop removal coal mine, part of over 10 square miles of destruction on Coal River Mountain. Mountaintop removal blasts fine and ultrafine silica dust and other pollutants into the air, creating a public health threat for nearby residents. At this location, it destroys habitat for the endangered Indiana bat and the threatened northern long-eared bat. WVDEP has failed to take effective action for this company's failure to meet legal requirements at this site and history of violations at neighboring sites.

Three DxE activists were arrested Sunday on charges of felony grand theft and misdemeanor trespass at Ray-Mar Ranches, a California factory farm which supplies calves to Harris Ranch, and beef to Costco and In-N-Out Burger, for removing a living calf who had been abandoned in a dead pile area. A previous DxE investigation discovered a mass graveyard of dead cows and thousands of living baby cows in hutches where they could not even turn around without hitting the walls. The three arrested women had gone back to the farm to bear witness to the animals when they found a dying calf thrown like garbage into the farm's dead zone. We're calling on the Stanislaus County District Attorney to prosecute this abusive farm and not the women who tried to save a dying baby cow. Sign the petition to free the baby cows and drop the charges.

We live in a rural neighborhood of 1-5 acre home sites. The proposed rezoning of this 15-acre plot of land will dramatically affect traffic, wildlife and the character of the neighborhood. We know we can not stop progress but 52 homes to an already congested area will be detrimental to the surrounding families and neighborhoods.

On a recent walk on this trail which runs between Asilomar and Drake streets in the Oakland hills, I was horrified to see that at least 13 trees have fallen near to or above either side of the fire trail. Some of those close to the trail have been cut up, but all parts (trunks, small branches with leaves and larger branches) were left behind, with some blocking a natural water drainage area and trail through the canyon area, creating a fire hazard rather than a fire prevention or firefighting area.

There is currently a petition against the composting project that Ecoverde has established in East Aurora, NY. This project is one of a kind and is taking steps toward making a cleaner future. Unfortunately, concerned neighbors are voting against it without getting their facts straight first.

Water, in a modernized, first world country should be viewed upon as a basic human right. In a state surrounded by freshwater, two water crises is unacceptable. While legislators allow for companies like Nestle to exploit the Great Lakes, taxpaying Michiganders are left parched and our environment deplorable.

According to the Humane Society Legislative Fund "Rep. Marsha Blackburn has repeatedly supported legislation that enables cruelty to animals. She blocked efforts to strengthen the federal law against the cruel practice of “soring” Tennessee Walking show horses—using caustic chemicals and other painful substances to injure the horses’ hooves and legs, thereby inducing a high-stepping gait. She supported an amendment to H.R. 3354 that allows hunters to kill defenseless hibernating mother bears and cubs in Alaska for sport alone. Blackburn also failed to support common sense measures to crack down on puppy mills, protect horses from slaughter for human consumption overseas, or protect women and pets from domestic violence. "
