Governor Kate Brown: Stop Fracked Gas Infrastructure in Oregon!A Canadian company, Pembina, wants to build a massive fracked gas export terminal in southern Oregon. It would include a 229-mile-long pipeline and a huge liquified natural gas (LNG) facility in Coos Bay. We need to make it clear to Governor Kate Brown and her administration that we won't allow more fracked gas infrastructure in our state. Send a message to Governor Kate Brown to STOP the Jordan Cove LNG terminal and the Pacific Connector fracked gas pipeline.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Miranda Carter, Food & Water Watch

Illinois: Ban Fracking Now!Fracking has caused devastation in states across the country, including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Colorado, and Texas. We can’t let that happen in Illinois. Regulations can’t make fracking safe. But right now, energy companies are free to frack in Illinois and it's time we say No More! Fracking endangers our health and safety through water contamination, air pollution, and earthquakes. Studies have linked fracking to long-term health effects -- we shouldn't gamble Illinoisans' health for the sake of burning more dirty fossil fuels. Tell Illinois elected officials that fracking should be banned!1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Miranda Carter, Food & Water Watch

Abandon reckless attacks on the Endangered Species ActThe Endangered Species Act has saved some of our nation's most iconic species from vanishing into extinction. Bald eagles, humpback whales and California condors are here today because of the protections of this groundbreaking and popular law. Despite the Endangered Species Act's 99 percent track record and historically bipartisan support, some Republicans in Congress and Ryan Zinke's Department of Interior are waging a coordinated attack on this law and the species it protects. Congress is considering nearly a dozen proposals that target the Endangered Species Act. Among them are bills that would either block or remove protections from species including sage grouse (a bird that relies on habitat sought by the oil and gas industries) and all of the gray wolves in the lower 48 states. Ryan Zinke, Trump's Secretary of the Interior, unveiled his plans to overhaul the Endangered Species Act recently. The Trump/Zinke plan would reduce the protected habitat set aside for endangered species and make protecting yet-to-be-listed species more difficult. If these proposed changes are successful, endangered plants, fish, and wildlife–and the places they call home–will suffer. Please speak out and tell Congress, Ryan Zinke, and their cronies that the Endangered Species Act is wildly successful and does not need their "modernization" or overhaul. 1. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/22/climate/endangered-species-act-trump-administration.html 2.https://www.esasuccess.org/2016/index.html1,993 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Endangered Species Coalition

Stop the Killings at the Miami -Dade Animal ShelterDogs and cats are being killed unnecessarily, even a few hours after they are turned in. Veterinarian students are conducting experiments causing animals to die. This is unacceptable; voters in the County increased their taxes so the shelter could become a no-kill shelter. However, the Mayor decided to use the money for something else, disregarding the will of the citizens. Help stop the nonsense killings. Remember, we have the voting power.398 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Frank Vaio

Help Save Honeoye LakeHarmful Algal Blooms (HABS) are nothing new to the many people who enjoy spending time on NYS Lakes. However, of the Finger Lakes, Honeoye Lake has the most severe and longest lasting outbreaks of HABS. In just the last five summers, Honeoye Lake has had 84 CONFIRMED HABS, 14 of those having HIGH TOXINS. That number does not represent all of the blooms that were deemed as suspicious and not tested. We believe the Mechanical Weed Harvester(MWH) is a major cause in the abundance and spread of HABS. Reasons we believe this are: 1) The MWH stirs up sediment and causes wave action resulting in legacy nutrients being dispersed into the water column-especially by the paddle wheels. 2) Due to the Harvester moving so slowly, the heat from the motor raises the surface temperature of the water creating favorable conditions for a bloom to occur. 3) When the weeds are cut, where there was once shade there is now direct sunlight to aid in the growth of algae. 4) The algae that are stuck on the large amount of fragmented weeds left behind by the Harvester are now able to float, spread across the lake and get washed up on shore. This does not even mention the reasons we believe the Harvester also contributes to the toxicity of the blooms. We believe the Harvester is the one cause/variable that we can absolutely control. Please help save Honeoye Lake and stop Mechanical Weed Harvesting!! Thank you.463 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Julie Swift

Stop complaining and start signing!Seen lawn signs advising of veterans with PTSD? Watched your dog or cat try to hide in a closet or under a bed? Read the statistics about the related injuries to hands/fingers/ears/eyes? Called police about someone blowing up a mortar after midnight? Smelled the 'napalm' in the air? Heard about a fire caused by an inconsiderate 'patriot?' Is there really a need to buy and sell these products every day of the year - except to make money? Sign and let's let our lawmakers know they made a mistake in legalizing fireworks and firecrackers in Michigan. There are alternatives!34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Phyllis Horowitz

Demand Environmental Justice in Massachusetts!All too often, communities of color and low-income communities end up with dirty power plants or polluting factories as their neighbors. That's not right. Massachusetts needs to pass legislation to ensure no community bears the brunt of environmental pollution. The Commonwealth must treat all its residents equally and fairly, and passing strong environmental justice legislation will help ensure that happens. Demand that your Massachusetts legislators take action to support environmental justice.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Miranda Carter, Food & Water Watch
