To stop the use of toxic chemicals in the Town of Jaffrey, NH on town owned property where children and pets play, often right after pesticides are applied. Also to educate the public about the harmful side effects of such chemicals where as those side effects are either largely unknown or down played now and the warnings posted after application, though in line with current state regulations, are minimal and understated to effectively keep kids and pets off of treated lawns.

Under MSSI, inspectors would be required to monitor 83 pounds of pork per second and 1,300 hogs per hour. The Food Integrity Campaign represents whistleblowers in the food sector. Four federal meat inspectors came to us and submitted startling affidavits regarding the government’s high-speed slaughter pork pilot inspection program. One whistleblower said, "On numerous occasions I witnessed [company inspectors] fail to spot abscesses, lesions, fecal matter, and other defects that would render an animal unsafe or unwholesome." We are petitioning Donald Trump and the USDA to stop a new dangerous pork inspection rule that would expand the pilot program nationally.

ESPANOL ABAJO We ask the City of Everett to keep its people safe. We ask that the City pass an ordinance as part of its commitment to enforce the law and serve the public without consideration of immigration status. Under our proposed ordinance, no one in the City should be contacted, detained, or arrested by any Everett law enforcement agency based on immigration status, whether known or unknown. Only then will all residents feel safe going to the police and city agencies to report crimes, seek help, and collaborate together to keep Everett the city that it is. Many of us have lived here for decades and are proud to call the city home. Some of us are students -- and parents of students -- at Everett High School who are scared that we are going to be stopped by the police at the end of our school day and asked for papers. We have kids in our families who are waiting at home, anxious that us, their parents, might not come home that night. Everett has been ranked the most diverse city in Massachusetts. We don’t want half of the Everett community fearful of the very City and people who should be here to serve us. We all deserve to know that the City of Everett and the Everett Police do not stand with separating parents from their kids or stopping people in the streets because of their skin color and language. Everyone deserves to know that we, the residents and friends of the City of Everett, will not tolerate their persecution. * * * Le pedimos que la Ciudad de Everett mantenga seguridad para su gente. Al aprobar ordenanza, la ciudad de Everett se comprometería hacer cumplir la ley y servir al público sin tener en cuenta el estatus migratorio. Según a nuestra ordenanza propuesta, ninguna agencia de seguridad pública de Everett debe contactar, detener o arrestar a una persona basado en su estatus migratorio, ya sea conocido o desconocido. Sólo entonces todos los residentes se sientan seguros de acudir a la policía y las agencias municipales para reportar crímenes, buscar ayuda, y colaborar juntos para mantener Everett la ciudad que es. Muchos de nosotros hemos vivido aquí por décadas, y estamos orgullos decir que esta ciudad sea nuestro hogar. Algunos de nosotros somos estudiantes -- y padres de estudiantes - en Everett High School quienes temen que la policía nos vayan a detener y pedirles nuestros papeles. Tenemos los niños en la familia quienes están esperando ansiosamente en casa, pensando que sus padres -- nosotros -- no vuelvan por la noche. Everett ha sido clasificada como la ciudad más diversa en Massachusetts. Más del 40 por ciento de sus residentes son inmigrantes. No queremos que la mitad de la comunidad Everett tenga miedo de las mismas instituciones y personas que deberían estar aquí para servirnos. Todos debemos poder confiar que la ciudad de Everett y la Policía de Everett no apoyan la separación de los padres de sus hijos, o la detención de gente en las calles debido a su color de piel o su idioma. Tenemos derecho a saber que nosotros, los residentes y amigos de la Ciudad de Everett, no vamos a tolerar la persecución.

Will you join me, the Mayor of San Jose and 270 Cities in California in opposing SB 649? If you don’t want cell phone antennas right outside your bedroom window, take action now! SB 649 passed out of the House and was sent back to the Senate for a final vote on the amended version. Since SB 649 also passed out of the Senate, it will now go to Governor Brown for signing. Letters, emails and calls should pour into Governor Jerry Brown's Office within the next few days. We must act NOW to stop this attack on our rights, privacy and health! Most utility poles will become cell towers under Senate Bill 649 and result in 4g/5g antennas lining every block leaving the public with no legal recourse from “micro-wireless” to “small cells” and “macro towers.” The public has not agreed to cell towers in their front yard. Real estate values will significantly decline near base stations and antennas. While firefighter premises are exempt from antennas, the health risks for the rest of us, including animals and the ecosystem is being jeopardized with SB. 649. The FCC is streamlining 5G deployment before completing investigation on health effects. Safety limits have not been updated since the 1990s. Their guidelines were derived from industry, and there is no policing or compliance testing of cell towers. You also need to know that SB 649 shifts liability from the telecommunication industry to the State of California, with the potential of bankrupting the state and requiring bailout from the tax payers. The bill also would place antenna every five houses, leaving the public vulnerable to privacy and security risks. The bill "forgets" that industry still has not fulfilled a prior agreement to install a high speed fiber-optic network (already paid through our phone bills) to all including the underserved.

I'm a mother and a wife, a physician and a human being. The last thing we need right now is international conflict or war. I don't want a future with more deaths, more bombs, more threats, more tears, more needless suffering, more trauma. I've had enough. I'm determined, motivated, passionate, and still believe peace is the best option. I'm a proud American. This fear-generating war publicity is degrading our national values and makes NO ONE safer. Hell, I've got things to do (like laundry and bills and dishes). So, we need to stop escalating today. In the words of Sweet Brown, "Ain't nobody got time for that!" Enough humans have died from war and conflict. Aren't we tired of this yet? It's 2017 and I need a future for my family and children where we can: - peacefully resolve conflict - stop killing each other - stop reacting out of fear - fulfill our family and community goals, with security and peace Stop all the endless media stories promoting war and fear and conflict and drama and threats. Start spreading our own stories about peaceful resolutions and what we all want - to live our lives in security, not fear. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." - FDR #love #peace #resist #theresistance #nonuclear #nowar Please sign this petition and forward to your networks. Only unity and compassion can drive out fear.

The Endangered Species Act is helping to save more than 1,600 U.S. plants, fish, and animal species from extinction so they will continue to be a part of our children's and grandchildren's worlds. The Endangered Species Act has a whopping 99 percent success record at preventing the extinction of listed species. It helped to prevent the extinction of our nation's symbol, the bald eagle, the grizzly bear, gray whale, peregrine falcon, and many other species. It is a critical tool in ensuring that the nation we leave for our children is not one without the plants, fish, and animals that we share space with today. We must maintain the Endangered Species Act in its current form and oppose any attempts to weaken, update, modernize, or reauthorize this vital conservation law. Tell Congress to stop these bill which would transfer Endangered Species Act listing decisions from scientists to politicians, legislatively delist wolves, and block courts from reviewing these actions.

BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT JOHN TRUDELL IS ONE OF THE GREAT ACTIVISTS FROM THE 20TH CENTURY HE PROTESTED WITH MARTIN LUTHER KING AND MALCOM X , AND LEAD THE PEADEFUL PROTEST ON THE ISLAND OF ALCATRAZ. THE MAN'S ACCOMPLISHMENT'S SHOULD BE CELEBRATED. HE SAVED THOUSANDS OF CANCER PATIENTS CAUSE OF HIS ACTS IN FORMING THE HEMPSTEAD PROJECT AND GOT MEDICAL WEED FOR THOSE BACK IN THE 80'S LONG BEFORE WEED WAS NEVER EVEN LEGAL. ARGUING FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH THERE DOCTORS PRESENT TO HAVE THEM GET THE WEED THEY NEEDED.

Republican Senators David Perdue and Tom Cotton have introduced legislation that viciously attacks our family-based legal immigration system. Backed by President Trump, the RAISE Act aims to cut legal immigration of extended family members by half – in addition to slashing the number of refugees we accept and eliminating the diversity visa lottery. This is an extremist proposal that would prevent families from reuniting and go against our nation’s core values. Stand with National Immigration Law Center and urge Congress to vote against the RAISE Act.

African American History started before slavery , cotton and sugar cane, there should be a curriculum established that will arouse the pride and self-esteem of our African American students in the Haywood County Schools.

The ability to unleash nuclear weapons is the ability to initiate a causal reaction in which billions of people could die, one that would threaten the very existence of the world as we know it. The initial blasts would kill indiscriminately, and the fallout from radiation would kill infinitely more. We need only look to our own history for the lesson of these weapons: they possess far greater power than any man should ever yield. The wounds of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are far from healed, their scars a eulogy for this very day. Moreover, we are not talking about any man - we are talking about Donald J. Trump: a man who has demonstrated, with stunning consistency, a complete and total shutdown of critical thinking capacities. A bipartisan team of mental health professionals recently deemed his behavior "paranoid" and "delusional" (1). Even members of his own party have expressed their concern for his inability to faithfully execute the duties of the office of the Presidency. At the same time, the North Korean threat has increased significantly. In addition to the devastation they would bring to our friends and families in South Korea, their capabilities now reportedly include striking the United States at home. The President's foolish and unnecessary escalation of tensions on the Korean peninsula speaks volumes to his failure to comprehend the magnitude of our times. We have placed the greatest existential threat the human race has ever known in the hands of a man unfit to serve. Now, more than ever, we need strength from the rest of our elected officials, that they may stand tall for the American People - and in doing so, commit themselves to the defense of life itself. Let us honor our veterans and the People of Nagasaki and Hiroshima on this somber day; let us learn the lessons of our past and pledge to protect humanity from the atrocities of nuclear war. We demand that Congress execute an emergency measure to curtail the President's access to any and all nuclear weaponry or other weapons of mass destruction. Let it be resolved that any use of such meteriel requires the prior consent of 2/3 of the Senate. 1. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world-0/donald-trump-dangerous-mental-illness-yale-psychiatrist-conference-us-president-unfit-james-gartner-a7694316.html

The Whitehouse seems unable to stop Trump's reckless tweets that threaten to bring the world into nuclear war. CEO of Twitter Jack Dorsey has said that Trump's tweets keep him accountable, but according to strategic analysts they are now seen as the Leader's Word by both North Korea and US allies alike. We call on Twitter to act on behalf of all world citizens and immediately and urgently suspend Trump's account before any more incendiary tweets reach Pyongyang.

I do not want to die in a Nuclear Holocaust.I hope to god no one of us ever is.
