Stop Coal Export Off the West Coast

Right now, the comment period is open on a proposed coal facility in Washington State. Big Coal wants to build the Millennium Bulk Terminals in Longview, WA so it can send coal to some of the world’s largest carbon polluters in Asia. The result will be a facility not only damaging precious aquatic ecosystems and creating all kinds of coal dust for local residents to inhale, but also actively escalating climate change. If approved, it will be the largest permitted coal export terminal in the United States, with plans to export up to 44 million metric tons of coal annually.? At a time when the world’s scientists are telling us we have to cut carbon pollution — and fast — we just can’t allow this coal export terminal to be built. Click here to add your voice to thousands of others saying “NO” to a proposed new coal export terminal in Washington State. The comment period ends on November 18.

Save Country of Origin Labeling!

From behind closed doors, Country of Origin Labeling is under attack. We fought long and hard to give every American the right to know what country their food comes from, but these hard-won gains are being threatened by the committee that’s finalizing the Farm Bill. International corporations and industry groups like the meat packers want to kill this labeling law so they won’t be required to disclose where their products are made. We can’t let that happen. Take action below and tell your legislators to protect Country of Origin Labeling in the Farm Bill!
