Common Cause: Let’s Do Something about Media Consolidation!
In a recent vote, the FCC overturned a 30-year-ban prohibiting a single company from owning both the local newspaper and a television station. This rule protected community voices and a diversity of viewpoints. Despite overwhelming public opposition, the FCC voted to approve this giveaway to the media industry. But we do have some recourse: Congress can overturn the FCC decision by passing a “Resolution of Disapproval.” The resolution of disapproval of the FCC rule has been introduced in both the House and the Senate. Can you write to your Representatives and Senators (we won in the Senate!) today and urge them to support it? Thank you!
World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA): Back the ban: Say no to the horror of live animal export
Since the Handle with Care campaign was launched, the world is waking up to the unnecessary cruelty of transporting animals over long distances for slaughter. Please act now to support a ban on live cattle exports from Belém, one of Brazil’s busiest ports in the state of Pará. Horrifying conditions on the three-week journey to Lebanon cause many animals to die from heat stroke, trauma and respiratory disease.
World Wildlife Fund (WWF): Save Critical Habitat for Endangered Whales and Marine Life
