Genetically engineered wheat that was never approved for human consumption was found in an Oregon field in 2013 and in a Montana field in 2014. These contamination incidents costs farmers millions of dollars and the unapproved GMO wheat likely ended up in the food system. Now the USDA wants comments on how they control field trials. If the USDA and patenting biotech companies cannot rein in GMO technology, then they must put a stop to open field trials before more incidents like these occur.

One of our best hopes in the fight against climate change is the massive explosion of rooftop solar, which has more than tripled since 2010! But multi-billionaire Warren Buffett has launched a full scale attack on the rooftop solar market in Nevada. Buffett, through NV Energy — a utility that his Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate owns — is urging the Nevada Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to gut the state’s popular net metering program, which pays solar panel owners for the energy they send back to the grid. NV Energy claims that net metering raises costs for other Nevadans, even though a study commissioned by the PUC says exactly the opposite.* But Buffett’s real reason is much more self-centered: rooftop solar cuts into the profits of his utility. If the changes Buffett seeks go through, they would destroy the solar market in Nevada, costing as many as 6,000 jobs and slowing the fight against climate change. *PUC study on absence of cost shifting: http://1.usa.gov/1kZc0d2

I-122 will ensure Seattle stays of, by and for all of the people, not just the ones with connections to wealthy donors and newspaper publishers. We probably shouldn't be surprised the Seattle Times Editorial Board is urging voters to vote no on stronger campaign finance laws. Like its support for Shell oil drilling in the Arctic, like its opposition to raising the minimum wage, and like its support for a long line of failed big money candidates from McCain to Romney to McKenna, the Seattle Times Editorial Board is dead wrong to oppose I-122.

New York is Donald Trump’s home state, home to over 4 million immigrants and 2 million immigrant voters. Yet Republicans here have a recent history of following an anti-immigrant electoral strategy very similar to Trump’s. In elections for State Senate last year, the New York GOP relied heavily on anti-immigrant scaremongering to turn out their voters in competitive races. And one Republican candidate on Long Island this year promised that if he were elected, he’d put "ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] on speed-dial." Some Republican candidates are speaking out against Trump's anti-immigrant comments. Former Governor George Pataki has said Trump is "not ready to govern" and that he would not vote for him, even if he were to win the nomination. But so far, all we've heard from Majority Leader Flanagan is silence. It's time for Majority Leader Flanagan to join Governor Pataki in denouncing Trump’s comments and sending a message that hate has no place in our state.

As someone who looks forward to attending Art Walk each month and has a deep appreciation for all that Wynwood has to offer in general, I have made it a mission to help see that the city provides more Recycling options. Especially when Art Walk occurs and Food Trucks are abundant, there is a great need for more recycle bins where we can deposit our plastic bottles, glass containers, and more. The last few Art Walks I've attended, the trash cans have been overflowing with all types of garbage falling into the streets. Much of which should be recycled as to preserve our resources rather than further destruct them. Please take a moment to sign this petition so we can show the city that we desire and care for a cleaner and Eco- friendlier environment! Thanks in advance!

Warren Hills High School needs a way to keep Evan's memory alive and to help the athletes cope with his passing. A memorial that they can touch before each game would be such a way. Evan's mom Kelly does not want us to forget her boy. We must show her that we will never, ever, forget Evan.

During the 2012-2013 school year, the 3 Collegiate Academies charter schools in New Orleans had suspension rates ranging from 40-68% of the student body, often for minor infractions, such as stepping outside of the lines in the walk from one class to the next. That's why we support the Let Kids Be Kids Campaign, conducted by Families and Friends of Louisiana's Incarcerated Children (FFLIC), designed to end the school to prison pipeline and find alternatives to expulsion and suspensions.

More than 100 million Americans live in vulnerability zones that surround dangerous chemical facilities, putting them at risk of explosions, fires, and release of toxic chemicals caused by these facilities. In Maryland, 974,386 children are at risk of these disasters because they attend school close to an unsafe plant – this is unacceptable. We can make our communities safer by ensuring that these facilities switch to safer chemicals and technologies that are both available and affordable.
