Everyone may be affected if Trump's threats and ill-informed aggressive rhetoric doesn't end. It needs to stop NOW!

On September 1, six peasant farmers were murdered in the Peruvian Amazon. All the evidence suggests the massacre was part of a violent campaign to evict local farmers and indigenous communities to make way for industrial palm oil plantations. We need your help to stop the violence!

The Rohingya are mostly Muslims traced to the area around the 8th C and they are now denied citizenship in Myanmar because the Government believes they are immigrants from Bangladesh. They are subjected to hostility from the major ethnic group (Buddhist extremists), which is also the composition of the ruling Government. The country’s leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, who once won the Novel Peace Prize, has been largely criticized for neither condemning nor stopping the extreme human rights violations meted out to the Rohingya, a minority tribe currently being subjected to torture, displacement, restricted movement, denied access to state utilities, and being humiliated. U.N claims most of the alleged tortures cannot be validated; the same loose buttons that are being pushed by Aung. So this problem continues and the Rohingya continues to be “cleansed” in what many believe is an effort to extinct the tribe from Myanmar. Essentially, many leaders fail the litmus test of times. A mass killing that targets a tribe/religion is a hate crime. Aung, added to being stripped of the Nobel Prize, must be made to condemn, act in accordance with international law to provide protection to this minority group, and see to it that perpetrators are punished. The birthright of the Rohingya must be respected and restored, and such must be put in their constitution. It is time to end their years of humiliation and displacement. The type of violence is not acceptable and it is time for world citizens to send a strong message to the Myanmar Government. Please take few minutes of your time to sign this petition, share with your friends, and encourage them to sign as well. Thank you for quick action on this.

Updating this petition from Sept 2017, to include several important developments. Our Government this month continues to labeling this Treaty as irresponsible, dangerous, blaming it as a divisive measure, destabilizing our world, and “an easy” way, not doing the hard work of diplomacy. We know the opposite is true. We are expanding NATO, and enforcing on our allies our strict nuclear weapon policies as a test of loyalty. We are expanding our nuclear weapon facilities, testing, university research, and spending the these most dire greatly needed resources of our talent on new improved nuclear weapons, and greater destructive forces, instead of applying them to our task at hand…. Climate and environmental remediation, and decommissioning our weapons. We are breaking all laws, international and our own military codes, and directly, daily endangering humankind. Once again, we use the fear of Russians as our reasoning for our building anew. Russian colleagues who i’ve sat with can’t believe we are seeing this again. Pres. Gorbachev is still alive and can’t believe it. The millions who built bridges together in science, education, the arts and culture can’t believe it. Just because leaders don’t remember basic conflict resolution tenents, doesn’t mean we citizens need to be obedient to their endless rhetoric and threaten to destroy each other, the whole earth. In honoring our soldiers, let it be clear, there is NO courage, no bravery, nor wisdom, nor valor, nor patriotism in nuclear weapons. No common sense. No humanity. No reason, except short term profit. for a few, wrapped selfishly in our flags. ** Over 90 % of the citizens of Germany, a democracy and ally, want our 20 H-bombs out of their land now. ** 53 or more of 59 Members of the Scottish Parliament want the nuclear armed Trident submarines out of Scotland now! Their citizens clearly do NOT want what our Representatives say they do, “Protection under our umbrella”. They don’t believe in this. They believe nuclear weapons are extremely costly and dangerous and keep us all insecure. They no longer believe the lie. They believe in law that protects. And they believe we can create many more and better jobs with these resources. The Kings Bay Plowshares 7, seven of our colleagues who entered our largest nuclear weapon naval base, with banners of Martin Luther King, Jr. , with prayer and candles, who are upholding every moral and humanitarian law we can think of, are being tried at this moment in Federal Court in Georgia, to the fullest extent (possibly decades in prison), focusing on the cutting of a fence which hides truth, rather than the reality of sacrificing their lives for their fellow human beings, the greater good, the 10 Commandments, and Pope Francis’s call. They are standing up in the middle of the belly of a non democratic, hidden, criminal, most dangerous congressional industry. Please lend them (us all) your support and make it an issue with your representative: www.KingsBayPlowshares7.org Every democratic process to even begin a discussion of the basics of this grave concern has been denied consideration, or discussion, or making it to the floor to be mentioned. Recent examples are The SANE Act of 2012, and again 2017 by Sen. Blumenthal, Sanders, and Markey, etc. Efforts simply disallowed by the committee chairs. Period, end of discussion, gone from view, and media. Democracy? Many states and cities are beginning to pass and look into creating new resolutions once again, as we did in the 1980s, against the industry that makes and threatens all with omnicidal devices, and begin divestment from our industries that make them. Please bring it to your town, city, state. Several great resources for these actions: www.NuclearBan.US, https://www.psr.org/blog/resource/back-from-the-brink-a-call-to-prevent-nuclear-war/, and, www.DontBankOnTheBomb.com, and www.codepink.org, among others. A few excellent new 2018 editions have come out addressing all you need to know about standing up to this industry with clarity, facts, and widened truth: Commander Robert Green’s “Security Without Nuclear Deterrence.”, Daniel Ellsberg’s “Doomsday Machine”, and Timmon Wallis’s “Disarming the Nuclear Argument”. Don’t listen to the US defilement of the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, read it yourself, and listen to the Nobel Ceremony as to why they gave the Peace Prize to ICAN. Priceless. Read the clear statements of Pope Francis, and the results of his international symposium on it. The core of Christian, Jewish and other teachings oppose the possession and threat of such devices, and the others the industry is making as we speak. * Below is the Petition as its was from Sept. 2017. You’ve signed, thank you, Please share as you can. Onward, Togeher. Updating this petition from Sept 2017. to include several important developments.

On August 23, the New York Times published a major article on the humanitarian catastrophe produced by the U.S.-backed Saudi-UAE war and blockade in Yemen, acknowledging that Yemen is "the world's largest humanitarian crisis" and that "there is little chance for significant improvements unless the war ends." But the August 23 NYT article falsely minimized the U.S. role in the catastrophe: "the United States is not directly involved in the conflict." [1] Past reporting by the New York Times has been more straightforward in acknowledging the direct U.S. military role in Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen. On August 24, 2016, the New York Times reported - under the headline "Support for Saudi Arabia Gives U.S. Direct Role in Yemen Conflict" - that the Saudi bombing of a Doctors Without Borders hospital was another public reminder for the Obama Administration of "the spiraling violence of a war in which it has played a direct role...the Pentagon has given steady support to the coalition led by Saudi Arabia, with targeting intelligence and fuel for the Saudi planes involved in the air campaign." [2] The U.S. role in Saudi Arabia's Yemen war certainly hasn't become less "direct" since August 24, 2016. The Intercept reported on July 13, 2017 that the U.S. has doubled the fuel provided to Saudi-UAE warplanes bombing Yemen since October. [3] The New York Times reported on June 14, 2017 that as a condition of the recent arms deal with Saudi Arabia that was narrowly approved by the Senate, U.S. military advisers coordinating U.S. logistical assistance to the Saudi bombing campaign would sit in the Saudi air operations control center in Riyadh. [4] Such "conditions" are apparently not working to prevent civilian casualties, as the New York Times reported on August 23, 2017 that at least 30 civilians were killed or wounded by Saudi airstrikes in Yemen's capital. [5] Urge the New York Times to correct its August 23, 2017 article to acknowledge that the U.S. is directly involved in the Saudis' war in Yemen through targeting assistance and midair refueling for Saudi-UAE warplanes bombing Yemen by signing our petition.

Capitulating to his generals, President Trump has agreed to send thousands of more American soldiers to Afghanistan, even though experts agree that the war in Afghanistan is unwinnable. [1] The only realistic alternative to endless war in Afghanistan is a negotiated peace that includes all the major Afghan factions and all the neighboring countries that are supporting major Afghan factions in the Afghan civil war, including Pakistan, India, Iran, and Russia. The Obama and Bush Administrations never seriously pursued a negotiated peace. So far, the Trump Administration is simply continuing the Bush-Obama policy of adding just enough American soldiers to prevent the Taliban from completely taking over Afghanistan, without doing anything diplomatically and politically to end the war. [2] The strategy of trying to be more patient than the Taliban is almost certainly doomed to fail in the future as it has in the past. People fighting in their own country are almost always more patient than foreign soldiers. Urge your Representative and Senators to press the Trump Administration to commit to sustained diplomacy to end the war in Afghanistan by signing our petition.

The human race has lived too long with the danger of nuclear war and the worldwide presence of harmful radiation. If we don't bring an end to nuclear weapons, their use, whether on purpose or accidentally, will destroy us.

Trump and his administration openly praise terrorist & dictators regularly! with Trump on record as quoting Benito Mussolini and Hitler. They are openly white supremacist, even going as far as encouraging events like what happened in Charlottesville! During Trump's run for president, he even told his supporters in a televised rally to "Beat the crap" out of those who didn't support him! At the same rally as well as many others, Trump encouraged his supporters to salute him using the Nazi salute that was commonly used by Hitler's supporters! Trump and his administration support terrorists and ARE terrorists and MUST be removed from power NOW before it's too late!

We already saw millions of people lose their lives in the Great War, on the Eastern Front in World War II, in the Nazi Shoah, and in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Let us not repeat history, especially for our most vulnerable allies in Korea and Japan.

I'm a mother and a wife, a physician and a human being. The last thing we need right now is international conflict or war. I don't want a future with more deaths, more bombs, more threats, more tears, more needless suffering, more trauma. I've had enough. I'm determined, motivated, passionate, and still believe peace is the best option. I'm a proud American. This fear-generating war publicity is degrading our national values and makes NO ONE safer. Hell, I've got things to do (like laundry and bills and dishes). So, we need to stop escalating today. In the words of Sweet Brown, "Ain't nobody got time for that!" Enough humans have died from war and conflict. Aren't we tired of this yet? It's 2017 and I need a future for my family and children where we can: - peacefully resolve conflict - stop killing each other - stop reacting out of fear - fulfill our family and community goals, with security and peace Stop all the endless media stories promoting war and fear and conflict and drama and threats. Start spreading our own stories about peaceful resolutions and what we all want - to live our lives in security, not fear. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." - FDR #love #peace #resist #theresistance #nonuclear #nowar Please sign this petition and forward to your networks. Only unity and compassion can drive out fear.

Donald Trump is making us all more unsafe with every war-mongering comment, tweet, and threat. His rhetoric threatening North Korea with "fire and fury" is exacerbating a dangerous situation, putting the people of Guam--and everyone around the world--in grave danger. While a nuclear North Korea is a real concern, the answer must be diplomacy-first, not a rush to a potentially devastating nuclear war. The American people say "no" to war with North Korea.

Because of Saudi Arabia's war and blockade, Yemen is on the brink of famine [1] and a million malnourished children in Yemen are at risk from cholera. [2] Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen is also helping Al Qaeda, [3] as even the State Department acknowledged in a July 2017 report. [4] U.S. arming of Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen could make the U.S. a co-belligerent in international law and make U.S. officials liable for Saudi Arabia's war crimes. [5] On June 13, only five Democratic Senators voted to keep arming Saudi Arabia's famine-inducing war in Yemen: Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Mark Warner of Virginia, Bill Nelson of Florida, and Joe Manchin of West Virginia. The vote was 47-53. If these five Democrats had voted with the Senate Democratic leadership and the majority of Senate Democrats, the Senate would have voted to block the Saudi arms deal. [6] Senator Todd Young [R-IN] and Senator Jeff Merkley [D-OR] have introduced amendments on the National Defense Authorization Act [NDAA] which would block the arming of Saudi Arabia's war crimes in Yemen. Senator Young's amendment would prohibit any arms transfers to Saudi Arabia until the Saudis stop bombing civilian infrastructure and stop blocking humanitarian aid. [7] Senator Merkley's amendment would prohibit the transfer of cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia. [8] Urge Claire McCaskill, Joe Donnelly, Mark Warner, Bill Nelson, and Joe Manchin to publicly back the Young and Merkley amendments to stop arming Saudi Arabia's war crimes in Yemen by signing our petition.
