Amnesty International: Ask the new Obama administration to follow through on its commitment to rebuilding the Gulf Coast
President-Elect Obama ran on a pledge “to partner with the people of the Gulf Coast to rebuild now, stronger than ever”. It’s up to us to support him in fulfilling that promise. Amnesty International, the Equity and Inclusion Campaign, Oxfam and other national and Gulf Coast organizations are joining together to send as strong a message as possible to the new Obama administration to ask them to prioritize Gulf Coast recovery.
DawnWatch: Upcoming events: Mercy for Animals, Farm Sanctuary, and Monkey events! December 2008
Before I sign off for Thanksgiving — a veggie feast with two live turkey guests this year — I wanted to let folks know about a bunch of events coming up in New York, Chicago, Columbus and Los Angeles — three are “Monkey events,” and three are galas put on by groups I love: Farm Sanctuary and Mercy for Animals.
League of Conservation Voters (LCV): Stop Bush’s last minute attacks on the environment
Even though President Bush has only a few months left in office, he is doing everything he can to help out his friends in Big Oil, Dirty Coal and other polluting industries on his way out of office. And, he is doing everything he can to make sure it will be difficult for the next Administration to undo the damage.
National Wildlife Federation (NWF): Help Strengthen Safeguards for Wildlife Against Global Warming
Leaders of the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce recently released a “discussion draft” for global warming legislation. The proposed legislation would move the US toward a clean energy economy while reducing global warming pollution, but still needs to be strengthened to ensure the safeguards necessary for America’s wildlife and natural resources against global warming.
Pacific Environment: A Climate for Change
With the new administration, we have the opportunity to lead the world in combating climate change and making real investments and innovation in clean technology at home. Join us in asking Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to bring San Francisco values to Washington D.C. and help guide the new administration into making a strong investment in our energy future.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA): Tell Taiwan to Halt Panda Swap Deal
The Taipei city government recently announced plans to acquire pandas through China’s panda diplomacy program for display at the Taipei Zoo. But bartering, loaning, and transferring these sensitive animals and putting them on display in zoos causes pandas undue stress and does nothing to protect their rapidly diminishing natural habitat. Join PETA Asia-Pacific in urging them to halt the deal!
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA): KFC: Raise the Bar on Animal Welfare
Recently, the company that coordinates the purchases of chickens for KFCs in Canada decided to raise the bar on animal welfare and implement industry-leading changes. But KFC elsewhere is still lagging behind. In other countries, the fast-food giant does almost nothing to protect chickens from the worst abuses on factory farms and in slaughterhouses.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA): Tell Marriott Hotel to Cancel Cruel and Dangerous Tiger Photo-Ops
The Marriott Hotel in Mobile, Alabama, is hosting photography sessions with baby tigers until November 26. These animals are from Great Cat Adventures (GCA), a business that hauls tigers and other exotic cats around the country and displays them—and profits from this exploitation.
