• Make Dunkin' Donuts GMO-Free!
    Dunkin' Donuts is one of the largest coffee and donut companies in the world. Over the years, they've changed their original donut recipe (which contained a standard list of basic ingredients) to a toxic concoction of GMO ingredients, including corn, soy and canola, in addition to artificial flavors, colors and preservatives. The 2014 Dunkin' Donuts Press Kits states that "People everywhere appreciate what Dunkin’ Donuts offers: high quality food and beverages served all day in a friendly, fast environment." They go on to describe their "dream team of acclaimed chefs" who create "new and innovative menu choices." When you compare these claims side-by-side with the ingredient list on some of their most popular items, this sounds like nothing more than propaganda. For example, check out the ingredients list for the popular Boston Kreme Donut and ask yourself if these sounds like high quality ingredients compiled by acclaimed culinary experts: Enriched Unbleached Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Iron as Ferrous Sulfate, Thiamin Mononitrate, Enzyme, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Palm Oil, Water, Dextrose, Soybean Oil, Whey (a milk derivative), Skim Milk, Yeast, Contains less than 2% of the following: Salt, Leavening (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Baking Soda), Defatted Soy Flour, Wheat Starch, Mono and Diglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Cellulose Gum, Soy Lecithin, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Artificial Flavor, Sodium Caseinate (a milk derivative), Enzyme, Colored with (Turmeric and Annatto Extracts, Beta Carotene), Eggs; Bavarian Kreme Filling: Water, Sugar Syrup, Modified Food Starch, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Contains 2% or less of the following: Natural and Artificial Flavors, Glucono Delta Lactone, Salt, Potassium Sorbate and Sodium Benzoate (Preservatives), Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Titanium Dioxide (Color), Agar; Chocolate Icing: Sugar, Water, Cocoa, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Soybean Oil, Corn Syrup, Contains 2% or less of: Maltodextrin, Dextrose, Corn Starch, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and/or Cottonseed Oil, Salt, Potassium Sorbate and Sodium Propionate (Preservatives), Soy Lecithin (Emulsifier), Artificial Flavor, Agar. Dunkin' Donuts is America's most popular coffee and donut chain, and with growing awareness of the adverse affects of GMOs and other toxic ingredients on both the health of humans and the environment, it's time to demand that Dunkin' Donuts reflect the voice of the people and offer GMO-free options to their consumers.

  • Overturn Middletown School District's decision of retention or transitional grade placement for g...
    *Parents were never notified that kindergarteners were going to be assessed using Benchmark and MAP assessments. *Parents were never told in the beginning of the year or any other time during the year that local standardized assessments were going to be used as the sole factor in deciding grade placement; the district discarded teacher's assessments, report cards and teacher/parent conferences. *Parents received grade placement letters on the day before the last day of school. Parents felt mislead and lied to about the forced nature of the short notice regarding their children's academic performance. Teacher/parent conferences, report card and also home/school work never mentioned retention or placement into transitional grade. *Parents find out on the last day of school about the implementation of 2 new programs (Promotional Marker Program at grade K and a Transitional Program at grade 1). District never sent advanced communications to parents about placement of kids into new programs. *Parents find out on the day before the last day of school that for their kids to be able to be considered for grade promotion (instead of retention), their kids must attend Summer School. Parents have already planned their vacation; parents paid for summer camps, travel tickets, car rentals, hotel and cruises because no advance noticed was given from the Middletown School District that kids are mandated to attend summer school. Parents don't want their children to be assessed for grade placement by a computer test. Parents want local teacher-created assessments, home/class work, parent/guardian and teacher conferences to be used in determining children's grade placements. Parents want to have full and advanced communication with the school district about their children's future. Parents don't want their children to be enrolled on brand new programs without their consent; We are the parents! We have parental rights and the U.S. Supreme Court has "repeatedly held that parents have the fundamental right to direct the upbringing and education of their children free from unreasonable state interferences”. Please revoke the Middletown School District’s last minute decision about retaining or placing into transitional grades kids from grade K-2 and consequently elimination of mandated summer school for 2013-2014 school year.

  • Letstopslavery
    I started harvesting coffee bean from the age of 4 and my grandfather had been doing so for 75 years but was not able to purchase a cup of coffee. My cousins who lived further South of Cameroon unlike me from the Savannah North were equally harvesting cocoa beans since they were 3 years old. I drank my first cup of coffee when I was 25 years old and had moved to Europe and my cousin ate his first chocolate bar when he was 27 years old and had moved to the US. Why can Cameroon and other African countries not grind their coffee and cocoa beans into powder? Because the WTO Clause bars them from doing so and it is the intention of this petition to force those players at the WTO to realise that the WTO is the worst violator of fundamental Human Rights.

  • Tell Congress: "I support birth control and I vote."
    Unbelievable. The Supreme Court just sided with right-wing ideologues and gutted women’s right to birth control coverage under the Affordable Care Act. That means that at certain private corporations, decisions about women's health are left up to their bosses. We need to show Congress and politicians in November that women won't stand for this. Because right now, candidates and party leaders are trying to figure out how to respond, and right-wing politicians are planning more attacks on birth control. Our job is to make clear this simple fact: if you don't support affordable access to birth control, you don't support women--and that will cost you votes. If tens of thousands of us say this with one loud voice, candidates and elected officials will distance themselves from this decision and we'll begin the process to build our majority for birth control and reverse this decision. Take action and sign!
