Saving tropical forests is key to slowing the climate emergency, to protecting biodiversity, and to preventing abuses of human rights throughout the tropics. This bill will put New York State at the forefront of global efforts to end the crisis of deforestation in tropical regions by ensuring that entities contracting to provide goods or services to our state government do not drive deforestation through their supply chains. The bill has a provision to support small, medium, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses in greening their supply chains and meeting compliance requirements. It mandates creation of a diverse, multi-stakeholder body to advise implementation. And importantly, it requires subcontractors who produce tropical forest risk commodities to obtain the free prior and informed consent of any tropical Indigenous communities impacted by their operations, in line with the U.N. Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. This New York bill practical, is doable, and is a critical step in using U.S. laws to protect tropical forests.

Rep. Schweikert votes on legislation on the issues. We all need to understand his positions on each issue and voice our own concerns. We aim for a better working relationship with our Congressman going forward.

NYU has not divested from fossil fuels… the reason: a ceo from one of the largest fossil fuel investors sits on the board. NYU says they will divest by 2040, we know that is too little too late. We also know this cannot happen with Laurence fink, CEO of Black Rock, one of the biggest fossil fuel investors in the world, sitting on the board of trustees.

Tenants have rights! If they won’t hear us separately they will have no choice but to hear us all together. Our safety and quality of living matter. We need resolutions and not excuses! From plumbing issues to loitering. We deserve better!

No Labels is running a serious, well-funded third-party presidential ticket in 2024. They are on the ballot already in four states and targeting dozens more for their “unity ticket.” But their plan will reelect Donald Trump. That’s why I am joining with other individuals and organizations demanding that No Labels stand down. A third-party presidential ticket can’t win. All of the third party presidential candidates from the last 100 years combined didn’t get enough electoral votes to win a single election. But No Labels will be a spoiler. They are targeting critical Blue states and splintering the coalition of voters who ousted Trump in 2020, giving Trump a second term when he is more dangerous than ever. Trump came within 3 points of winning six key battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Even a weak third-party performance from No Labels could put 79 Democratic electoral votes at risk, handing Trump or a Trump-acolyte the White House. That’s a risk that we cannot take. No Labels justiffies this dangerous campaign by making false comparisons between the extremes of the right and the left. No Labels ignores the legislative victories we achieved on a host of issues that appeal to a broad coalition of voters. Democratic leadership delivered a bipartisan infrastructure bill, historic climate investments, bipartisan gun safety legislation, protections for marriage equality, and much more. But if Trump is back in the White House, that progress—and our democracy—is in peril. No Labels must stand down for the future of our country. We're calling on all Democrats to join us in calling out this dangerous ploy.

The ruling in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA ordering the FDA to withdraw its approval of mifepristone is unconscionable. Mifepristone—approved more than 20 years ago and used effectively by millions of people for medication abortion—is perfectly safe. Anti-abortion extremists are attempting to use the courts to ban abortion nationwide, even in states that have legal protections for abortion access. That's why together we are asking higher courts to reverse this unprecedented and anti-abortion ruling and restore access to mifepristone—and asking Congress to act to protect and expand access to abortion care.

To make the company aware that no matter what position a person held they all should be treated with respect and to know it’s not okay to sweep or turn your head about an issue that has been brought to their attention rather it’s small or big. All complaints matter!!

It is in every constituents interest to hold our member of Congress to account and know where he stands on the issues

Bring Rep. Ciscomani to Tucson for a live town hall with his new constituents. We deserve to question our representative to Congress.

Starbucks' new CEO has a chance to turn the company around and treat workers with respect. Let's call on him to act! Starbucks, like so many corporations, is doing everything in its power to keep workers from winning their union and a fair contract. They know when we stand together, we're more powerful and can win the respect we've earned.

It's a cruel and ongoing bill that can take the lives away from trans people in the state of Florida who are diagnosed with breast cancer.
