If Trump gets his way, 9.2 million acres of the world’s largest intact temperate rainforest could be destroyed. With your help, we can stop this attack on one of our nation's most iconic wild places. But only have until December 15th to take action!

Methane pollution standards are basic safeguards that help keep our planet livable. Even Shell Oil and other industry producers think they’re common sense. But Trump and Wheeler are trying to create loopholes to benefit their polluter friends at the expense of our climate by recklessly rolling back these protections. We only have until November 25th to take action. With your help, we’ve fought back Trump’s plans to slash our bedrock environmental protections before. But we need your help again to fight Trump’s latest giveaway to Big Oil polluters.

By passing the PAW and FIN Conservation Act we can ensure endangered wildlife have the protections and support they need to survive and thrive. But Congress will only act if they feel pressure from constituents like you.

Currently, Texas A&M- San Antonio only provides an online course for MGMT 4371 -Entrepreneurship: Business Plan Development. This should be allowed to be an option for students, especially since this is a 400 level course. I have also heard of several students dropping the online course due to the learning experience being limited and unsuccessful.

Congresswoman Katie Hill became a victim of revenge porn. Earlier this month, conservative blog "RedState" published nude photos of Rep. Hill and one of the staff members of her campaign, with whom she admits to having had a consensual relationship. Since then, rightwing publications have been using the photos to create a misogynistic and homophobic campaign to humiliate, abuse, and discredit the freshman Congresswoman. In other words, as one writer puts it, "RedState and its rightwing compatriots have brought the tactics of domestic abuse into our politics." What Hill did--having a relationship with her employee--was inappropriate. What the people who published her photos did was criminal. That's why she is pursuing legal action against those rightwing outlets that distributed her photos without her consent. While "revenge porn," or nonconsensual distribution of intimate images, is illegal in some parts of the country, there is no federal law directly prohibiting it. In light of the horrible public abuse Rep. Hill is going through, Congress must pass a bill it has been sitting on for months called SHIELD--or Stopping Harmful Image Exploitation and Limiting Distribution Act of 2019. While Rep. Hill's story is shaking Washington and the media, will you tell Congress to pass the SHIELD Act to help make sure no one suffers what Rep. Hill has

Last week, multiple videos and photos showed police officers tasering, tackling, holding down, and in some cases punching Black and brown people in the subway. This is the result of an overly aggressive and unjust fare evasion crackdown by Governor Cuomo and the MTA, which has primarily targeted Black and brown people in low-income communities. And it comes on the heels of the announcement that the governor and the MTA intend to put 500 more state police—without body cameras—into the NYC subway system. As part of the crackdown, NYPD officers have been stationed in large numbers outside of train stations in low-income, Black, and brown neighborhoods. This comes as no surprise, as it follows the pattern of Black and brown communities across the country being surveilled, targeted, and subjected to police abuse and excessive violence. But this excessive use of force by the police in the subway must stop immediately—which won’t happen if Governor Cuomo and the MTA move forward with their current plans. In one image, police officers draw their guns on a young Black man in a crowded subway car for presumably having evaded a $2.75 fare. In another, an officer is holding down a young Black man who has been tasered. We should not taser or arrest someone for failing to pay a $2.75 train fare. We do not need more state police with less accountability patrolling our subways. What we need is for Governor Cuomo and the MTA to stop criminalizing poverty and to stop trying to raise money for our dilapidated train system on the backs of low-income communities and communities of color. We need Governor Cuomo to take the funding planned for hiring 500 new officers and invest it, and millions more, in fixing our broken train system and making it more reliable and accessible. The subway is the lifeblood of this city and we need it to work for the millions of low-income and working class riders who rely on it every day to get to work, to school, to the doctor and back home again.

We lost a great man who gave New Mexico a great name because he was representing us around the world with his positivity and willingness to spread love and positivity so effortlessly.

A New York health center that serves LGBTQ patients was planning to run ads on Instagram to raise awareness of PrEP, an FDA-approved anti-HIV medication. But Instagram rejected Apicha's ads and classified them as "political advertising." The ads, designed to be a part of PrEP Aware Week, are intended to increase usage of the drug, especially within POC and LGBTQ communities, which are disproportionally impacted by HIV. Banning these ads deliberately harmful to human health and affects us all.

Growing up in a Latino household, after the holidays we would always celebrate El Dia de Los Tres Reyes Magos, aka The Three Kings Day. It is a tradition widely celebrated throughout the Caribbean and the Americas. As the years go by, different ethnic groups have the right to celebrate their cultures and traditions. Nevertheless, it is our time for us Latinos to have our own holiday days off.

In September, Billy Foister had a heart attack at work and collapsed. In any other workplace, he would have gotten immediate medical attention. But Billy Foister worked at an Amazon warehouse, and instead he laid on the floor for 20 minutes and eventually died. His co-workers were told to get back to work immediately. That this could happen at all is terrifying, but what’s even more insidious is why: because Amazon places more importance on automated productivity quotas than the value of human life. No amount of next-day or same-day shipping is worth the human cost that Amazon demands of their warehouse workers. That’s why, as consumers, our voices are particularly important. We can push back against Amazon, just like tech workers and warehouse workers all across the country are doing, and demand more humane working conditioning.

As AT&T shifts the structure of the company. Many of its employees are forced to relocate their work location to sites that requires them to pay for parking. Therefore, reducing their income significantly. AT&T employees work hard to deliver best in class service to customers allowing AT&T the continuation of record profits. The employees should not be forced to lose compensation based on the company decisions to relocate their call centers.

My name is Wendsler Nosie Sr. I'm the former chairman of the San Carlos Apache Tribe and a member of Apache-Stronghold. Five years ago, powerful politicians knelt at the altar of greed and arranged permits for Resolution Copper, a multinational corporation, to drill and extract copper beneath sacred holy lands of the Apache. For thousands of years, Apaches have come to Oak Flats to pray. Today, we face the possibility that our holy ground will become a giant crater. We condemn the immoral, racist, and unconstitutional seizure and sale of Oak Flat. Oak Flat is one of the most holy places in the Apache religious tradition, likened to how Christians and Jews regard Mt. Sinai. Resolution Copper's plan would create a crater below Oak Flat two miles wide and 1,000 feet deep. The U.S. Forest Service has moved forward with an environmental impact statement and has refused to consider the Apaches' religious freedom claim, which would stop this destructive mining project. They have declared war on our religion. And a threat to the practice of any religious tradition in the United States is a threat to U.S. Constitution and the religious liberty of all people of faith. The forces that seek to exploit Apache holy land for profit are the same forces that pass racist voter suppression laws, militarize our borders, deny health care to millions, poison our water, and pretend to promote a "pro-life" agenda. This is why we call for a moral revolution of values with the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. We denounce this sinful and unconstitutional seizure and sale of Oak Flat.
