The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Northern Alaska provides important habitat for polar bears, caribou, and rare migratory birds. The area’s wildlife has supported the indigenous Gwich’in people for thousands of years. But the Trump administration is poised to open up this important ecosystem to oil and gas drilling. If this plan goes through, it would be catastrophic for the people and wildlife who call the Refuge home. We need your help to stop it!

Our state shrub should reflect our State, not a plant from the other side of the world.

Land is being deforested and animals are going extinct because of planting Palm Oil trees....This must stop, there are alternatives to Palm Oil.

Publix grocery stores have thrown massive support to Florida's biggest "NRA Sellout" Florida gubernatorial candidate Adam Putnam. They've reportedly given him $670,000 in the last three years. Putnam's history not only includes attempts to loosen gun regulations in Florida, he's also dangerously anti-immigrant, anti-women's rights, and wants to make it harder for Floridians to vote. As a mom, I can't let the dollars I spend on our food get used to block sensible gun reform efforts. Please join us and #BoycottPublix and sign the petition to let them know you want them to stop giving money to politicians who push dangerous policies and block life-saving measures.

Following an investigation of a Smithfield farm and the rescue of an underweight piglet named Lily that garnered massive media attention, five activists with Direct Action Everywhere are facing felony charges of sixty years in prison. The FBI obtained cellphone records to gather evidence against the activists and even sent armed agents to local sanctuaries to search for the piglet. This tremendous effort to repress whistleblowers -at the cost of American tax dollars- shows how Big Ag and its government allies are terrified of the public seeing the truth. We are asking Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes to prosecute animal abuse on factory farms like Smithfield's instead of targeting the investigators who expose the truth. Whistleblowers who expose animal abuse should be protected, not prosecuted.

The NRA's financial hold on our Congress is overwhelming, and it is one of the primary reasons why, in the wake of national tragedies, we remain unable to pass common sense gun laws. Urge your senators to give back their contributions from the NRA and pass gun laws that will save lives.

"The proposed rule would allow hunters to lure brown and black bears with bait, hunt black bears and their cubs using artificial lights, shoot bear cubs and wolf and coyote pups in their dens, and use dogs to hunt black bears. It would also allow hunters to shoot swimming caribou from motorboats." A 60 day public commet period begins Tuesday. Let Washington know this new proposal to lift this ban is inhumane and just plain wrong

The 5 rules to a good flag are: it should be simple, it should use meaning symbolism, it should use 2-3 basic colours, should not contain and seals or lettering, and it should be distinctive. The Maine flag violates the majority of these rules. It is hard to distinguish it from the majority of state flags, it has a seal and lettering, it uses a plethora of colours, and air is definitely not simple. The old flag is much simpler and will make our flag distinct.

Priority, First Class packages should be optional to be delivered on Sunday in cases where it does not get delivered on the day prior due to extreme weather conditions or hazards beyond the carrier or the postal service's control.

I've heard from community members and activists about how this sheriff has defied SB54, declaring California a sanctuary state, by publishing the identifying information and discharge dates so that ICE can intervene before immigrants are released and start deporting them. He called the appointment of Judge Diana Becton, a woman of color, to the position of Acting District Attorney, "appointing her would be a slap in the face of law enforcement.' He has also banned CIVIC, a volunteer organization working in the ICE detention center, from their work in the jail, in retaliation for their reporting of abuse and medical neglect. He is running unopposed, largely because he intimidates potential opponents. Let's send a signal about our concern and opposition: Write in NO CONFIDENCE for Sheriff on June 5th.

Hilton has made good strides to eliminate one-time-use plastics and styrofoam, which are detrimental to the health of our planet and are filling up our oceans. Now it's time for them to take another step and lead the way in the hotel industry by replacing small, one-time-use plastic containers for items such as shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc. with large permanent dispensers that can be refilled, cutting down on the amount of plastic waste in the world.

Representatives too often avoid constituents and just meet with donors and other big money people. If they are going to represent us, they need to hear what issues are important to us.
