    Traumatized people needed attention first as human beings. This is the responsibility of all human beings. The detained immigrants are at risk of illnesses that has potential to spread to others. In this day of international travel, no one is immune from disease outbreak. Mental pressure is suffering the same way as infectious disease. We have to act now as the detainees are counting down on the 20 day window before an undetermined fate.

  • Support Children's Rights
    The citizens of the United States have been adversely affected by the Senate's failure to ratify the CRC. Our tax dollars and energy have been spent on fighting the unfair treatment of children domestically and internationally. Children are denied protection in war, asylum, education, justice and family matters in our name. It is time to ratify the CRC and hold the U.S. accountable to the same standards as other United Nations member states.

  • Help send 50,000 comments to the State Department demanding that it reject Keystone XL!
    Donald Trump greenlighted Keystone XL as part of his efforts to make it easier for Big Oil companies like TransCanada to put our air, water and climate at risk -- all so they can make more profits. Together, we’re fighting back. Friends of the Earth members like you are helping take Trump to court to stop this pipeline. We’re pulling out all the stops to prevent Trump from handing over our environment to TransCanada. But at the same time, we need to keep up the public pressure to stop this project. Send your comment before the June 25th deadline: Say NO to Keystone XL!

  • Vallejo Historic Napa Riverwalk
    Since 2015 the city of Vallejo has been faced with a multinational corporate plan to develop a marine terminal and a slag cement plant on our waterfront on the site of a historic flour mill on the east shore of the Napa River. We propose a healthier and sustainable alternative via the staged development of Riverwalk in order to grow Vallejo and Mare Island as a historic rivertown destination midway between San Francisco and Napa.

  • The tax payers should not have to pay for the children detention centers.
    This Trump Policy to separate children from their parents was a Donald Trump legislation and supported by his White House, Jeff Sessions, Kirstjen Nielsen, and the GOP. They are the ones who should be paying the bills for this disgusting and immoral policy not the tax payer of this country.

  • T-Mobile Drop Corey Lewandowski
    Although the comment stooped to a new low, the fact he refuses to apologize for such insensitivity is unacceptable. We are asking T-Mobile to stop getting rich off Lewandowski’s hate. Lewandowski will also receive a cut of the fees paid to the lobbying firm on the T-Mobile contract. I say T-Mobile should donate that money towards reuniting immigrant children back with their families instead.

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen must resign.
    Secretary Nielsen has abused her power to mistreat refugees and hide girls and babies in an attempt to prevent press coverage of their locations, treatment, and living conditions. Secretary Nielsen has allowed children to be traumatized and abused and done absolutely nothing to stop it, even admitting she has no idea what is happening on her watch. This is a gross abuse of power and an abdication of her responsibilities as head of Homeland Security. There is no excuse, she must resign.
