• Ban the use of fireworks in Oregon
    I'm starting this petition because Fireworks are dangerous. The cons WAY OUTWEIGH the pros and since the public cannot handle fireworks responsibly, we don't deserve to have them in our community.

  • Sign the Petition: Dump Trump’s New Toxics Chief
    Trump’s latest appointee, Michael Dourson, spent his career helping Big Tobacco, Teflon makers, and other corporations downplay the risks of their chemicals. He doesn’t belong at the EPA where he would have the power to greenlight toxics like asbestos, lead, and BPA —substances that have been linked to cancer, delayed mental development, and major reproductive harm. Trump is showing again that our health doesn’t matter to him, especially the people of color and low-income communities who will be hurt the most by gutting our toxics laws. Sign the petition to tell the nomination committee chairs to #DumpDourson.

  • CA State Assembly : Fight Climate Change and Pass Bill AB-1184
    This landmark legislation offers a true level playing field for zero-emission vehicles in the competitive market of CA. The people of CA care about climate change and want the opportunity to participate in this fight. By allowing us to purchase zero-emission vehicles for the same price as Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles you will help spur economic growth and fight climate change at the same time.

  • Climate Change is the Elephant in the Houston disaster room!
    We in the environmental movement know that "local" disasters, Hurricanes Harvey and Katrina, are directly tied to the ongoing global climate apocalypse of human-caused global warming. Only the media and the government are covering up this biggest news of the millennium, and worsening its effect as the waters rise around us. Be a hero and reverse this flood of ignorance!.

  • Congress: Fund NASA and NOAA hurricane-tracking satellites and climate science
    Climate scientists have long predicted extreme weather events caused by climate change. But Congress is defunding satellites necessary for understanding the origins, frequency, and severity of killer storms. Shutting down science when the weather is killing people is like shutting down medical research when you discover ebola.

  • Block the "Energy and Natural Resources Act of 2017" to save our air and water!
    The so-called "Energy and Natural Resources Act of 2017" would increase fracking, allow easier approval for dirty oil and gas pipelines, and exempt dams for hydro power from environmental laws. We need your help to stop it! Tell your Senators: Stop this giveaway to the fossil fuel industry!

  • Keep tar sands tankers out of San Francisco Bay!
    The Phillips 66 Oil Company is trying to bring more tar sands oil to the San Francisco Bay Area. That means more climate pollution. More threats to public health. And more profits for Big Oil. We need your help to stop this project! Tell Bay Area clean air officials: No more tar sands in San Francisco Bay!

  • Keep Seismic Testing out of Monroeville
    The fracking industry is targeting Monroeville for seismic testing - the first step to oil and gas drilling. This process involves setting off explosives in deep holes on the ground, or using “thumper” trucks to drop a weighted plate to the ground. Both methods create tremors that can damage property and buried infrastructure. Seismic testing is not safe for our community, and could potentially open the door for fracking in Monroeville. On August 8th, Monroeville Council introduced legislation to protect residents by regulating this seismic testing. Please sign to urge the Monroeville Council to pass the legislation.

  • Comment period just opened: Tell CA’s DPR this proven neurotoxic pesticide has to go
    “Friday, May 5th was one of the scariest days ever ... I think it’s unfortunate that workers weren’t told what to do with their soiled clothes. I hope nobody brought their clothes inside or hugged their children or loved ones when they got home wearing their same work clothes.” -- Aylin California officials just announced steps to address the threat of brain-harming insecticide, chlorpyrifos. Instead of being a leader, CA is failing by following the Trump line of more studies are needed. California’s plan doesn’t protect those most directly impacted by exposure to chlorpyrifos — children and farmworkers. Their plan calls for a public comment period, more studies, additional risk assessments and basically more delaying tactics. In addition, these types of studies don't consider the already proven brain-harming effects on children’s developing brains. This re-assessment may conclude in December of 2018. Action is needed now. Farm workers and their children must not keep on inadvertently being exposed to this neurotoxic chemical. Make your voice heard on the Department of Pesticide Regulations’ (DPR) 45 day public comment period. Tell California officials to stop delaying. More delaying tactics can mean more cases like those we just witnessed. There have been two cases since May where chlorpyrifos drift is being investigated. Aylin (story above) was one of 48 cabbage workers who were exposed to chlorpyrifos. The pesticides drifted a half-mile from where they were applied - more than 26 times the limit set by current rules aimed at protecting field workers. Scientists have known for many years that chlorpyrifos damages children’s developing brains — reducing IQs, changing brain architecture and increasing risk of learning disabilities and disorders. That’s why it was banned for home use in 2001 and why we need it banned in the fields so Aylin, her co-workers and their families will not keep being test subjects. As the largest agricultural producer and a huge user of chlorpyrifos, what CA does affects the nation. California has an opportunity to be a national leader on this issue. Sign on to the public comment period today and say, “California must follow the science and take action to protect communities across the state.”

  • YES ON #SB100 - 100 PERCENT CLEAN ENERGY FOR CALIFORNIA
    California has long been a leader in clean energy. We now can pass a truly visionary bill: SB 100, moving California to 100 percent renewable and carbon free power by 2045. This is the strongest step we can take as a state to demonstrate our commitment to fighting climate change and improving air quality while continuing to lead on job creation in California. The current federal government won’t help us - it’ll attack our California values every step of the way. Of course Californians will defend our state. But SB 100 will show the White House that we’re not just resisting - we’re creating a better world. We’ll build an economy running on clean energy. And we’ll bring cleaner air to every Californian. It starts with the Assembly voting YES on SB 100. The bill, authored by Senate Pro Tem Kevin DeLeon, already passed the state Senate. Now it heads to the Assembly. Your assemblymember needs to hear from you: Yes on SB 100!
