Take Action: Tell Legislators to Vote “NO” on Pipeline Secrecy Bill; No Child Should Go Hungry in America; Tell the Dairy Industry to Stop Abusing Animals

Tell Legislators to Vote “NO” on Pipeline Secrecy Bill

pipeline-transcandaThe House Oversight and Ethics Committee is reviewing a dangerous piece of legislation that we have a chance to stop. House Bill 4540 that would amend Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act to permanently block public access to energy system safety records in Michigan. This would include high-risk pipelines like the one running through the Straits of Mackinac operated by the controversial Canadian oil conglomerate Enbridge, Inc. Not to mention the new proposed pipelines ET Rover and Nexus that would run through Ohio and Michigan. These pipelines threaten property rights of landowners, pose public health and safety issues with any rupture, explosion, or leakage, and proliferate fracking. Call your congressman and tell them you want pipeline transparency!

No Child Should Go Hungry in AmericawdjrcvFtqJKXCQG-800x450-noPad

1 in 5 kids in the United States faces hunger, which impacts their ability to focus and learn in school.  Thankfully, you can do something about it. This September, Congress has an important opportunity to strengthen child nutrition programs, especially programs that target children when they are out of school and harder to reach. Unfortunately, nobody in Congress is talking about the child nutrition bill, and time is running out.  It expires September 30, 2015. Your help is needed to get Congress to pay attention to this bill which will provide additional flexibility so Food banks can operate more efficiently and reach more children. Sign the petition!

Tell the Dairy Industry to Stop Abusing Animals

indexThere is a lot of abuse that goes on behind closed doors on dairy farms across America. If everyone knew how these animals are treated, I would bet that they would stop buying these products. A hidden camera investigation uncovered workers at Cactus Acres Holsteins in Colorado, maliciously beating cows and stabbing them with screwdrivers, for no reason. This has to stop. These animals do not deserve to be treated so poorly. Please help us put a stop to animal abuse in the dairy industry by signing this petition calling on Dairy Farmers of America to immediately implement meaningful animal welfare requirements and oversight at its member farms.
