Over the past several years we have all watched Global Warming become Climate Change, and now we find ourselves in a full Climate Crisis.  Sea levels are rising and destroying homes and property.  Tropical superstorms are ravaging the coastal states, including New England.  Expanded and prolonged forest fires sweep across the continent.  We must act in every possible way to reduce our Carbon Footprint, and to provide climate resiliancy.  And we must act N.O.W.!

As you join this effort by spreading awareness of hate groups in CT and working towards engagement of state leadership, we will improve our chances of dismantling hate and racism!

La contratación de mataderos y la falta de supervisión de estos contratistas por parte de los municipios de toda la isla es inhumana y se considera en todo el mundo como un signo de una sociedad incivilizada. La cantidad de injusticias contra los animales en Puerto Rico que han ganado atención mundial sigue creciendo y hace que Puerto Rico sea un lugar indeseable para visitar. El dinero que se destina a los contratistas de matanza se puede gastar de manera humanitaria en coordinación con organizaciones 501c3. El apoyo a las leyes para frenar el crecimiento de los animales callejeros no le cuesta nada, pero le ahorra enormes cantidades de dinero. __________________ The contracting of killing and the lack of oversight of those contractors by municipalities island-wide is inhumane and seen world-wide as a sign of an uncivilized society. The number of injustices against animals in Puerto Rico that have gained world-wide attention continue to grow and deem Puerto Rico undesirable as a place to visit. The money that goes to the killing contractors can be spent in humane ways in coordination with 501c3 organizations. The support of laws to slow the growth of strays costs you nothing but saves you massive amounts of money. Please leave a comment for 𝐑𝐚𝐦ó𝐧 𝐋𝐮𝐢𝐬 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚.

Join this campaign for change so that all of these animals can live out the rest of their lives in a better place. No animal deserves to live their life the way these animals have had to. The big cats are trapped in small dog pens with nothing to keep them entertained. The alligators are on top of each other because they have no room to move around. The baby alligators are hit and shaken around in order to get them to “behave” when people tape their mouths shut and hold them upside down by their tails. 

People should join this campaign for change to support all of our families of Pineville High School. This is so important because many student’s families don't have the financial resources to follow this dress code. The dress code was sent out very late and many students have already bought their uniforms. I feel that if I were a parent of a child that attended PHS, I would be very upset and stressed that we are now finding this out 10 DAYS BEFORE school. I have talked to many of my friends about this, and some even mentioned that they will not be following this dress code because they have already bought all of their uniforms. I think that if Pineville High School had such a big problem with our dress code they should have told us before summer. Thank y’all for understanding!  GO REBELS!!!!❤️

Thank you 

It's important for the handicapped folk to feel welcomed. If I can't get in I'm obviously not welcome or it would be just as accessible to us as it is to all fully functioning folks. It's a law to have handicap parking spots and walkways but not doors?😫 It's okay for me to be there parked in the front of the building and then I can easily push my walker or wheelchair onto the sidewalk but I can't go in? 🤷 What's up with that? Enforce laws all the way up to the doorway and then, sorry, you're unable to enter because you can't operate your walking aid and the door at the same time? It can cause a severe accident and someone could be badly hurt 🤕. I don't think anyone wants that lawsuit on their hands. Discrimination, I believe. 

In the last few years, SpaceX has caused fires, leaks, explosions, or other disasters near Elon Musk’s $3 billion corporate compound in Texas. A SpaceX launch recently flouted wildlife protections, while burning 7.5 million pounds of fuel, destroying some surrounding wildlife habitats. A New York Times investigation found that Musk’s SpaceX is exploiting federal agencies to achieve its corporate, private space travel mission. Far too often, Elon Musk and mega-corporations like SpaceX believe they can get away with anything. SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin don’t even have to pay the same taxes as airline companies — taxes that fund air traffic controllers and the safe use of airspace. President Biden has called for private space travel companies to start paying up, and now it’s up to Congress to start taxing Bezos’ and Musk’s companies. Sign the petition: Urge Congress to make Musk’s SpaceX and Bezos’ Blue Origin pay their fair share of taxes for private space travel! Musk and SpaceX have pit the Federal Aviation Administration against the Fish and Wildlife Service and National Park Service, and misled the environmental and wildlife agencies from the very beginning. Every time a SpaceX rocket is launched, the environment and wildlife are at risk. And every time a SpaceX or Blue Origin rocket is launched, these corporations don’t pay the taxes that airlines do to fund air traffic controllers who ensure airspace is clear to prevent collisions. We shouldn’t be handing billionaires even more loopholes to avoid paying their taxes.That’s why President Biden is calling on Congress to raise taxes on SpaceX and Blue Origin. Add your name: Tax SpaceX and Blue Origin now!

We, the undersigned, demand that the Trenton City Council take immediate action to address the housing crisis by: 1. Implementing rent control measures to stabilize rental prices and prevent excessive rent increase.  2. Increasing funding for affordable housing initiatives to create more accessible housing options for low-and moderate income families and individuals. 3. Establishing a renters' ordinance to ensure that tenants have clear protections and recourse mechanisms in case of unfair treatment by landlords. 4. Conducting a comprehensive study to assess the true scope of the affordability issue in Trenton. This study should include a survey to determine the percentage of residents who can or cannot afford current rental prices. We believe that everyone deserves access to safe, decent and affordable housing. We urge the City of Trenton Council  and State of NJ to prioritize the needs of the residents and take decisive action to address the housing crisis.

It is very important that charges are filed to deter officers and administration across the world to no longer take part in this malicious practice and behavior.

Peter White tragically passed away on June 5th, 2023 after a long battle with mental health and addiction. Peter was everyone’s favorite person and lit up every room he stepped in. No matter what he went through in his own life, he put others first and was always there for anything you needed. From a young age, Pete loved to skate. His escape was always to hop on his board and take a ride. He practically lived at Highlands Skatepark his entire childhood, along with his friends. He inspired and taught many to skate, even his 2 year old stepson was obsessed with his skateboard.  The simple fact is, mental health and addiction are the leading causes of premature death, especially in people under 35, surpassing COVID 19, tragic accidents, and even cancer, yet it is being silenced and hushed due to shame and judgement. It can happen to ANYONE, it does not discriminate, and to watch your loved one go through such suffering will change you forever. Addiction and mental health awareness SHOULD BE OF THE UPMOST PRIORITY! Children are dying, mothers and fathers are dying, uncles, aunts, cousins, friends … at a rapid speed.  Unfortunately less than 3% of all addicts recover, and when it comes down to it Pete is just one of the 97%+ who could not win. However, he fought until his very last day on earth. He got back up every time, and in between comforted those who loved him and did his absolute best to save himself.  His memory at this Skatepark is more than just his memory, it is a reminder to all addicts and those struggling with mental health, whether with us on Earth or passed, that they WILL be missed. That they DO have an impact. That their life DOES matter.  It’s a shame that this plaque could ever be considered taken down, when this issue is so important and so real to so many in our community alone.  In loving Memory of Peter White, Aj Heagney, Brandon McGeorge, Mat Adams, Chris Messiah, and the list goes on and on and on…. 

Minutes after we started this petition yesterday afternoon, Governor Shapiro signed the bill. Now it is up to the legislature to repeal it. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an unproven technology that has never worked. Naomi Oreskes, best known as the co-author of Merchants of Doubt, wrote in an essay in Scientific American in March that she is among geologists who believe that long term CO2 storage could be achieved, but that its success relies on identifying sites where CO2 will remain sequestered. “But site characterization takes time that we don't have,” she says. She points out that billions were spent over two decades to evaluate Yucca Mountain as a site for nuclear waste disposal before the proposal failed. Identifying sequestration sites is just as challenging. For years, we were told that Pennsylvania's geology was not suited to injection wells, the wells used for underground storage. Our geology hasn't changed, yet we've seen a huge increase in injection well projects, most of them Class II wells used for oil & gas waste. CCS requires its own class of well the EPA calls Class VI injection wells. Identifying sites for those wells is particularly challenging in Pennsylvania, not just because of our geology, but because the CCS involves injecting CO2 into pore space below a cap rock, or the impermeable rock, that will keep CO2 from leaking. The Marcellus would be the likely cap rock, but its integrity is in question because of decades of drilling and fracking and because there are hundreds of thousands of abandoned wells in the Marcellus. Does that disqualify the Marcellus from being a suitable cap rock? Does the corrosive effect of the CO2 compromise the cap rock? What does permanent, as in permanent sequestration, mean?  Scientists are still trying to answer these questions and many others. If scientists don't know the answers, our state legislators don't know them either. That didn't stop them from passing the bill without any hearings or discussion and without referring it to the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee. The scientific and technological unknowns are concerning enough, but Yaw's bill takes aim at the public by imposing a form of subsurface eminent domain that bars people from saying no to injection into their pore space if enough neighbors say yes. It then shifts liability from the industry to the state so the taxpayers are left holding the bag when something goes wrong. And it exposes communities to dangerous Class VI wells and the CO2 pipelines that would deliver the CO2 to the site. The only ones who benefit from SB 831 are those who will profit from using PA as a CO2 waste dump. The rest of us have everything to lose. CCS is one of the false climate solutions that allows the fossil fuel industry to continue doing business as usual, but it's also the technology that turns gray hydrogen blue. The blue hydrogen hubs proposed for Pennsylvania use methane as a feedstock to produce the hydrogen. That means more drilling and fracking, more harms to our communities, and more climate-killing methane leaks. Governor Shapiro failed to protect Pennsylvania. It's up to the legislature now.
