Protect Sharks and Ensure Your Tuna Is Legal and SustainableEvery year, millions of sharks are killed every year only for their fins. US tuna brands that hire these vessels, like Bumble Bee, aren't taking any steps to stop it.20,351 of 25,000 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Rasmussen

Tell AT&T to Stop Supporting Attacks on Democracy and Our Rights!Over the past year, we've seen unprecedented attacks on democracy, including the ability of eligible voters – especially Black and Brown voters – to participate in elections and have their vote count. This must stop and companies need to step up and defend democracy. Unfortunately, many companies that claim to support civic participation and racial justice – including AT&T – have practically done the opposite, standing by and passively supporting the same politicians who have launched these attacks. - AT&T was one of the first companies[1] to break their commitment[2] to stop contributions to members of Congress who voted against certifying the 2020 election results. - AT&T is a top corporate donor to politicians that sponsored laws making it harder for many voters to participate in elections, especially Black and Brown voters. In 2021, for example, AT&T gave Texas Gov. Greg Abbott 100,000[3] on the same day he called a special session to pass legislation that makes it harder for eligible voters to register and cast their vote. - AT&T is also a top corporate contributor[4] to the sponsors of bills designed to intimidate and criminalize peaceful, non-violent forms of protest. - AT&T needs to stop giving money to radical insurrectionists and do business in a manner consistent with its values. Actions speak louder than words and AT&T's actions often contradict the company's commitment to equal opportunity and racial justice. That cannot continue. We call on AT&T and CEO John Stankey to stop supporting extremist politicians that are making it harder to vote and participate in our democracy. ----------------------------------------------- References 1. https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2021-04-19/corporations-pledge-donations-politicians-opposed-election-certification-biden 2. https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2021-04-19/corporations-pledge-donations-politicians-opposed-election-certification-biden 3. http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/business-a-lobbying/563541-watchdog-says-att-gave-over-100k-to-abbott-gop 4. https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Democracy-Report-2.pdf712 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Greenpeace USA

Stand with the Lummi Nation against Coal Exports!Exporting coal off the coast of Washington is a bad idea, period. But right now, there’s a proposal on the table to build a coal export terminal in the Salish Sea. Not only would this terminal threaten our health and contribute to climate change, it would also threaten fisheries that the Lummi Nation have used for over a thousand years. Earlier this month, the Lummi sent a powerful message to the Army Corps of Engineers, asking them to deny the permit and honor the Lummi’s treaty rights. We stand with the Lummi Nation and join them in asking the Army Corps to honor these treaty rights and stop this destructive project. Please email your representatives today and ask them to call on the Army Corps to oppose this project.4,109 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Rasmussen

Stop Shell from drilling for oil in the Arctic!Right now, Shell is trying to get approval from the US government to start Arctic drilling off the remote coast of Alaska this summer. But President Obama has the power to stop the drills - and Shell. With his recent Keystone XL pipeline veto, it’s clear Obama wants to use his last term in office to leave behind a strong climate legacy. Tell Obama to make the Alaskan Arctic off limits to oil drilling now!7,553 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Rasmussen

President Obama: Regulate Dangerous Oil by Rail!25 million Americans are in danger from exploding oil trains. Last month — after a record year of unsafe oil trains derailing, spilling, and exploding across the country — President Obama proposed new regulations for unsafe tank cars. But shockingly, these new rules actually protect industry profits while sacrificing public safety and the health of our air and water.272 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Rasmussen

Minnesota: Stop This Tar Sands Pipeline!Enbridge, a major pipeline company, wants to build a new tar sands pipeline in Minnesota. This 300 mile pipeline would put our water, climate, and communities at risk. Governor Dayton has a key role to play in protecting Minnesota from the impacts of yet another tar sands pipeline. Tell him to stop Line 3! We don’t need more pipelines, and we can’t build more if we are serious about tackling climate change. We need more renewable energy solutions that will safeguard the planet now and for future generations.120 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Heather Whitehead, Greenpeace

Hong Kong: Stop illegal trade to save the vaquitaThere are only 97 vaquita porpoises left in the world. The vaquita are being caught and drowned by fishermen chasing the endangered totoaba fish. The totoaba are prized in China for their swim bladders, and we have evidence that they are being smuggled right now from Mexico into Hong Kong. The Mexican government already placed a two-year ban on destructive gillnet fishing in the vaquita's home, and even the United States has stepped up efforts to stop the illegal trade. But inaction in Hong Kong threatens this progress. Take action now. Tell Hong Kong Chief Executive CY Leung to stop this before it's too late!3,208 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Rasmussen

Stop Loophole for Arch CoalThis loophole will allow Arch Coal, one of the largest US coal companies, to bulldoze thousands of acres of roadless forest in Colorado in order to mine up to 350 million tons of coal. These roadless areas are crucial wildlife habitat and among some of the most beautiful and preserved wilderness areas in the state. Opening this area to mining would unlock more than half a billion tons of carbon pollution. All this so one coal company can reap in the rewards. It is an unfair trade-off and needs to be stopped.496 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Rasmussen

Governor Scott: banning the words "climate change" is not OK.The Florida Center for Investigative Reporting recently reported that employees and volunteers at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection have been directed not to use the words "climate change," "global warming," or “sea level rise.” This news has drawn public outrage across the country. Instead of denying the urgency of climate change, Governor Scott should be leading the charge in renewable energy sources like solar. Please ask the Governor to acknowledge human-caused climate change and work to stop it!548 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Rasmussen
