While we?re paying taxes, big corporations wiggle out of paying their fair share. Or they?re destroying our environment so they can make record profits. Sadly, it?s a long list ? and instead of being held accountable, CEOs are getting richer by the second, while the rest of us hope to make it to our next paycheque! The world doesn?t have to be this way. Because we have a secret: We own the corporations that are causing all these problems. They rely on us to buy their products. They count on us to buy their stock. They need us to work for them. Without us, these massive corporations have no power. That?s where we ? SumOfUs ? come in. By taking action this week, you have joined a community of millions people from around the world. People who have chosen to work together to demand that corporations put people over profits.

It would seem to me that with all the stress and pressures of out time that we need to keep our energies focused on positive ideals and values in order to avoid falling into depression and other mental illnesses. Focus on mental work and heart felt compassion and empathy keeps our energies "high" which helps us to cope with today's difficulties. Various spiritual practices; such as meditation,yoga, affirmation work, therapies, self help, group work...and especially helping others, as we can, all aid our growth and development, keeping us away from so many negative diversions today... Kenneth Rosenberg's perspectives help us to understand mental illness today, and ways to work with it...well interviewed by Sandy Bauers, Phila. Inquirer newspaper. Arn Specter, Phila. ______________________________________________________ 5 questions: Kenneth Paul Rosenberg on why mental illness is ?the greatest social crisis of our time? by Sandy Bauers, For the Inquirer, Updated: October 23, 2019 a.. In 1946, Life magazine published an expos? on mental hospitals, focusing on the Philadelphia State Hospital at Byberry. The title: ?Bedlam 1946.? That dreadful facility, like so many others, eventually closed. A good thing? Not completely, according to Kenneth Paul Rosenberg, who maintains that people simply went from one horrific situation to another, from the grossly inadequate institutions to the dangerous streets. In neither case is psychiatric care even close to sufficient. Editor's Picks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a.. Pennhurst Asylum is exploitation, not entertainment | Opinion Related stories -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pennhurst Asylum is exploitation, not entertainment | Opinion by Rachael Miroddi and Allison Beck, For The Inquirer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rosenberg, who grew up in Philadelphia, is a Manhattan psychiatrist and a distinguished fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. He teaches at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. He?s also a Peabody Award-winning filmmaker and now, an author. His book, Bedlam: An Intimate Journey Into America?s Mental Health Crisis, was published this month. The result of a seven-year investigation into a system that has failed the one in five Americans who experience mental illness, it includes harrowing patient tales and prescriptions for change. Earlier this year, his full-length movie Bedlam premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. It, too, looks at the public-policy failings. We spoke to him recently about his book. Courtesy of Hank Gans Kenneth Paul Rosenberg's book, "Bedlam: An Intimate Journey Into America's Mental Health Crisis," was published in October. Inquirer Morning Newsletter Currently, the major provider of mental-health services in this country is not the hospital system, but the jails and the prison system. Because psychiatric care beds are few and far between, the front lines of treating people is not in hospitals, but in the emergency rooms. These are the de facto mental institutions of our day. The greatest gathering of people with serious mental illness is not in a day hospital or community treatment center. It?s on the streets. If all that weren?t enough, Big Pharma has largely pulled out of neuropsychiatric drug development. Some of the medicines that people are getting are new, but the fundamental molecules were developed 70 years ago. When you look at the cost burden of mental illness globally, it will soon exceed, according to the World Health Organization, the cost burden of cancer, cardiac disease, and all noncommunicable diseases combined. Mental illness affects one in five families. And it remains poorly diagnosed, poorly treated, poorly understood, and therefore, in my view, the greatest social crisis of our time. You have a personal connection with serious mental illness. My sister, Merle, lived and died as a consequence of serious mental illness. She developed that illness when I was 14 years old, and that is why I became a psychiatrist later. She was 21. People with serious mental illness often develop it in young adulthood. Like many people with serious mental illness, she was not aware that she was ill. She lived, as did my family, in denial of her illness. She availed herself of treatment in a limited way, but her treatments were poor and her compliance was terrible. Merle had a psychotic disorder, most likely schizophrenia. Hard to say exactly what mental illness my sister had because the problem with psychiatric illnesses is that diagnoses are phenomenological. It?s not like when you have a sore throat and you get a swab and the test results show you have strep throat. Her illness manifested itself in delusion, hallucinations, and in being disconnected from reality, having magical thinking. She was unable to function in the world. When she died, at age 55, the official cause of death was a heart attack. But, in my estimation, the cause of her death was serious mental illness. On average, people with serious mental illness live nearly 30 fewer years than the rest of the population. One of the most upsetting chapters of your book was about the criminalization of serious mental illness. I think it?s fair to say that it becomes a crime to have a mental illness in America today. The first thing that often happens is that the police are called. There aren?t many diseases for which, when you have an acute episode, you call the police. So already, they?re in the law enforcement system. Then, there aren?t enough treatment center beds to take them to. So the police often have the option of taking someone to an emergency room or a jail. If they take the person to the jail, they can leave them there immediately. If they take them to the emergency room, they have to wait ? for them to be triaged, accepted as patients, and so on. Also, people with serious mental illness often commit petty crimes. That brings them more to the attention of the criminal justice system. Then they get put on probation and they don?t show up, because they don?t follow the rules. In some states, if you have a mental illness, you?re 10 times more likely to be incarcerated than in a hospital. What people say is that we have not deinstitutionalized the mentally ill. We have transinstitutionalized them ? from the asylums to the streets and jails. What would be better is a multipronged approach. We need community mental-health centers that are properly funded and equipped and engineered to handle people with serious mental illness. There are fairly good models for this. Secondly, we need changes in the laws. We have to weigh personal autonomy against letting people die as a consequence of their mental illness. We can?t have draconian treatment ? a psychiatrist throws someone in an institution for their life ? but we also can?t have people deteriorating and dying on the streets, living desperate lives, and often the victims of violence much more than the perpetrators. You say there have been no blockbuster drugs in psychiatry for decades. First of all, the brain is very complicated. So it?s not easy to develop new drugs. Secondly, as a society, we have not made serious mental illness a priority. We have not been marching in the streets demanding a cure, the way it has happened with breast cancer and HIV. We are at a moment when we are saying that this is absurd. We have good medications, but they are not the best. They have serious effects; 50% of people stop their medications because of the side effects. Also, we have left it to the pharmaceutical companies to develop new drugs. And they haven?t because there are no recent breakthroughs in neuroscience that companies can leverage to readily develop new medications. I understand pharma companies have an obligation to their shareholders. But as a society, we have an obligation to our citizens. We need more basic science into serious mental illness. That?s the job of government-funded and university-based research. Then, pharmaceutical companies could come aboard with the medications. At the end of the book, you offer tips for those with serious mental illness and their loved ones. What did your experience with your sister teach you? We cannot fix this problem alone. We can?t fix ourselves alone. We can?t fix our relatives alone. And we can?t fix our broken system alone. If you?re a person with serious mental illness, you need help ? the help of a family, the help of a community, the help of doctors and health-care providers you can trust. You need to reach out to support networks ? the National Alliance on Mental Illness is one. We need advocacy. We need to talk about it. It doesn?t matter who you are. You could be a public official, a billionaire, the smartest person on Earth, but you can?t invent new medications on your own. You can?t find a hospital bed for yourself or a loved one where there is none. What my sister taught me most of all is to be humble. I had the belief that when my parents passed away ? they were loving and kind, but they were in denial ? I could help my sister. I would be able to fix it. Well, I wasn?t. She taught me the message of the book: You can?t do it alone. You need help on every level ? personally, in a family, in society. sandybauers10 at gmail.com Posted: October 23, 2019 - 8:00 AM Sandy Bauers, For the Inquirer From: Arn specter Sent: Friday, November 01, 2019 9:18 PM Subject: Mental illness is ?the greatest social crisis of our time?, by K.

Tell PepsiCo to cut conflict palm oil once and for all. Sign the Petition Add this to PepsiCo?s conflict palm oil file: we?ve released a report that ties the snack food giant to massive-scale deforestation in Indonesia, home to our precious orangutans. PepsiCo has knowingly stayed in business with the Salim Group, a company tied to reckless palm oil producers responsible for the destruction of nearly 10,000 hectares of Borneo?s pristine peat forests??an area bigger than Manhattan! Meanwhile, PepsiCo keeps on promising that it?s working towards a truly sustainable palm oil policy, making commitments to human rights and zero deforestation. But this new report leaves no doubt: this whole time, PepsiCo?s palm oil promises have been nothing but smoke and mirrors. Tell PepsiCo it's time to cut ties with companies destroying our rainforests and exploiting their workers for cheap palm oil. Tell PepsiCo we won't stand for conflict palm oil: it's time to cut ties with companies causing climate chaos. While PepsiCo makes profits cutting corners in its palm oil policy, people and the planet are paying a steep price. Tropical rainforests are falling at increasing rates for new palm oil plantations -- pushing endangered species like Borneo?s pygmy elephant to the brink of extinction. Field investigations and satellite analysis show that palm oil companies tied to the Salim Group have continued to destroy carbon-rich peat forests in Borneo for five years straight. The destruction has continued in defiance of Indonesian laws, fueling the fires that rage each year, accelerating climate change, and causing a health crisis for local communities. Why did PepsiCo partners engage in such reckless practices? It?s the cheapest way to clear a forest for a palm oil plantation. Tell PepsiCo we won't stand for conflict palm oil: it's time to cut ties with companies causing climate chaos. We won?t take any more of PepsiCo?s empty promises while it continues to work with repeat offenders who destroy rainforests and exploit workers. We?re calling on Pepsi to adopt a comprehensive ?No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation? palm oil policy that applies to all of its business partners at the company group level, and to close the loopholes that give its business partners and palm oil suppliers a free pass to operate with no sustainability standards. In October 2018, hundreds of thousands of us successfully put pressure on PepsiCo to stop sourcing palm oil entirely from Indofood and IndoAgri. The problem is that PepsiCo is still making money off its joint venture partnership with Indofood. Join us in telling PepsiCo: it's time to stop being complicit and to cut conflict palm oil for good.

Donate $1 monthly Donate $2 monthly Donate $4 monthly Donate another amount monthly Not this time, but I can make a special one-time contribution of $1 A terrifying study has found that the exact same pesticides that are a key culprit in the massive global bee die-off are now killing birds as well. The study finds that neonic pesticides are killing warblers, swallows, starlings and thrushes nearly as fast as the bees -- at current rates, 35 percent of the bird population could disappear in just 10 years in the areas studied. Our efforts are gaining momentum. Hundreds of thousands of SumOfUs members helped win a landmark EU-wide ban on toxic neonics. But Bayer -- one of the biggest producers of these deadly pesticides -- has an army of lawyers and million-dollar lobbyists trying to overturn Europe's ban. The only way we can win is if we all fight back together. Can you make a monthly donation so we can keep up the fight to protect the bees? Donate $1 monthly Donate $2 monthly Donate $4 monthly Donate another amount monthly Not this time, but I can make a special one-time contribution of $1 For years, beekeepers have been warning about the frightening decline in bee populations. The culprit: a class of pesticides manufactured by Bayer and others called neonicotinoids (or neonics). Neonics aren?t supposed to harm birds in the amounts being used, but it turns out that they?re building up in the environment to levels that are poisonous for birds. We need to get these toxic pesticides off the market before they cause a new 'silent spring' -- and our efforts are gaining momentum. That's why we?re fighting to ban neonics once and for all. SumOfUs members around the world, are chipping in to fund legal cases to help defend Europe?s neonics ban from a Bayer appeal. Our activist beekeepers and campaigners have spoken out at Bayer's annual shareholder meetings to pressure the company directly, as well as some of the largest garden retailers in the world. And it?s starting to work -- we recently got home improvement chain Lowe?s to drop neonics from its stores worldwide. But no one can be sure how long the bees and birds can survive the onslaught of toxic pesticides, so we have to do more while we still can. Giving monthly is the best way to help, because it lets us plan for the future and be ready for whatever Bayer throws at us.

Bee defenders are in a crucial court battle against the pesticide lobby -- but they?re running out of money in the final stages of this fight. If we lose, it?ll be game over for the bees. Can you please chip in to help the bee defenders win this case? Donate $1 now A small, brave coalition of beekeepers is taking on pesticide giants Bayer, Syngenta, and BASF in court to save the bees. They?re rapidly running out of money at this crucial time and they need your help to win this case. If we lose, it could mean a world where Bayer and its friends get free rein to sell bee-killing pesticides again that decimate bee populations. That would be game over for the bees. Lawyers are telling us that right now it could go either way. Earlier this year, SumOfUs members like you chipped in so beekeepers could hire the best lawyers to win this case. But lawyers don?t come cheap and now beekeepers are facing a stack of unpaid bills. They need your donation for the final stages of the court battle. Please will you chip in $1 to save the bees? We need to protect the bees and other pollinators: over a billion jobs depend on them, and you have a bee to thank for every one in three bites of food you eat. But the threat of large-scale bee-deaths is looming large thanks to bee-harming pesticides called neonics. In 2018, SumOfUs members across Europe celebrated a huge win, when the EU listened to us and decided to protect the bees and ban three neonic pesticides. But Bayer?s court case threatens that win. Bayer is challenging a previous, partial ban on bee-killing neonics from 2013 -- before we got our big win last year. If Bayer is successful, it?ll undermine the main arguments that led to last year?s complete ban, leaving that wide open to be challenged in court too. The beekeepers of the Bee Defender Alliance are our main hope to defeat the pesticide lobby. They are the voice of beekeepers and independent scientists. But they?re up against Bayer, Syngenta, and BASF in court -- powerful and wealthy corporations that can strong arm the European Commission to get what they want. A donation from you would go a long way towards protecting the bees -- paying for top notch lawyers and other resources that the beekeepers need to win. You can help defeat the pesticide giants by chipping in to support the Bee Defender Alliance?s people-powered fight. We may never have as much money as the big corporations, but SumOfUs members like you have shown that when we stand together we punch above our weight. Hundreds of thousands of you pushed France to become the first country to ban the chemicals responsible for the global bee die-off. Together, we?ve sent beekeepers to confront Bayer?s corporate executives at its annual shareholder meeting. And we?ve forced big hardware chains across the world to stop selling neonics. We then worked around the clock to get Canada to join France in banning neonics, achieved a European ban on first three then four toxic neonics, AND we stopped U.S. grocery store giants like Kroger from selling bee-killing products. Can you please chip in $1 to help stop the pesticide lobby from tearing up this historic win for the bees?

But together, we can force Kellogg?s to give kids the healthier breakfast they deserve. Tell Kellogg?s to stop stripping its Mexican cereal of nutritional value! Sign the petition Kellogg?s is depriving children in Mexico of vital nutrients -- just to squeeze out more profit. The cereal giant has been sneakily slashing away at the nutritional content of its most popular brands on the Mexican market, misleading parents into thinking they?re buying their kids a healthy breakfast when all they?re getting is sugar and empty calories. Over a million Mexican children suffer from malnutrition. Kellogg?s, which makes four of the country?s five best-selling kids? cereals, could easily make a huge difference by fortifying their food with the vitamins and minerals they need. Will you add your voice to the local campaigners and experts calling on Kellogg's to quit being so greedy? Tell Kellogg?s to stop putting profits over the health of children and families: Give kids in Mexico a more nutritious breakfast. Kellogg?s has made commitments to help fight malnutrition across the world, even saying it would fortify its cereals to meet the ?specific needs? of local markets. But a new report by our partners at Changing Markets shows that it has in fact been taking out some of the key nutrients in its cereals in Mexico. Iron. Calcium. Vitamin B. These are some of the most common vitamins and minerals that are missing in Mexican kids? diets -- yet over the past five years, Kellogg?s has been leaving them out of its most popular products and quietly hoping parents wouldn?t notice. There?s no way to explain this -- except greed. Kellogg's would rather save $85 million by taking the nutrients out -- even though the resulting health issues will cost the country of Mexico up to $250 million. But Kellogg?s didn?t count on us finding out its secret. Its reputation is already suffering after a California court ordered it to stop promoting sugary cereals and energy bars as ?healthy?, ?nutritious?, or ?wholesome?. If enough of us spread the word that Kellogg?s is actually removing nutrients from its products in a country where kids need them the most, it?ll have to act fast to protect its image. Kellogg?s: Stop counting your cash while children suffer. Put the nutrients back in your cereal! This isn?t the first time you and I have come together to demand Kellogg?s to do the right thing for people and the planet. Its execs have been receptive to our calls before -- like when we told them to address deforestation in their palm oil supply chain. And Kellogg?s has shown it?s susceptible to pressure from the public. In the UK, that pressure got the cereal giant to be more transparent about its nutritional content and cut down on sugar in its most popular kids? brands. Now, we need to channel the same energy towards ensuring Kellogg?s lives up to its breakfast promises and delivers the nutrients that parents expect and children need. Tell Kellogg?s to guarantee kids in Mexico a healthier breakfast.

Can you make an urgent $1 donation so we can fight back? Donating just takes a moment ? use Paypal or your card. Donate $1 now We?ve just been hit with a big libel charge from PayPal. The reason: we protested outside PayPal?s HQ and told the tech giant to end its business relationship with a neo-Nazi group in Germany. Here?s is what you need to know: More than 100,000 SumOfUs members signed a petition to get PayPal to shut down the account of Pro Chemnitz, a neo-Nazi group responsible for refugee hunts and attacks on Jewish restaurants. Pro Chemnitz uses PayPal to raise money to finance their hate. Today we tried to bring your voices to the PayPal HQ in Berlin -- and were greeted by the police. PayPal is pressing charges for libel -- even though all we did was state the truth. This is big. PayPal is a multi-billion dollar corporation with unlimited resources to intimidate us and thwart our battle against hate. But we have unlimited power in members like you. A heavy-weight lawsuit like this could be ruinous for a small organization like SumOfUs. They are trying to scare us, Vladimir. But we won?t let them get away with it. Donating just takes a moment ? use Paypal or your card. Can you chip in $1 now so we?re ready for a lawsuit? A mobile billboard exposing PayPal?s ties to Neo-Nazis has been circling the HQ since 8 am this morning -- paid for by SumOfUs members like you. And lucky for us PayPal?s HQ is made out of glass -- so all its employers couldn?t hide from our message. That?s why PayPal?s execs are so furious. They don?t want to be associated with neo-Nazis. When we arrived the police were already there to inform us that we?d been charged with libel by PayPal for associating them with neo-Nazis. It?s clear: PayPal would rather use its financial might to scare us away with legal action, than face up to its shameful ties with Neo-Nazis. It?s a low blow to silence the likes of you and me, and anyone who speaks truth to power. The police made us tape over the PayPal logo on our billboard, but the message is still there for everyone to see. Our lawyers think the next step is for PayPal to slap us with a gag order. We have the facts and lawyers to back our case. But fighting PayPal in court will be costly, and could drag out for months or even years. Your donation right now could be the difference between giving up and beating PayPal at its scare game. Donating just takes a moment ? use Paypal or your card.

Chlorpyrifos is the chemical industry?s dirtiest secret, topping sales everywhere, but kept from the media spotlight. And it?s no surprise -- it traces back to nerve agents developed in a Nazi lab! Now it?s in our food, air and drinking water. Right now we have an amazing chance to get it banned. Europe could be about to block its use, and key decisions are coming up in major markets like Brazil and the US. Let?s make sure we win the ban in Europe, and then unleash the power of our movement to push for bans everywhere! Sign now and share with everyone -- when this is huge, we?ll team up with chlorpyrifos victims to deliver our voices to regulators around the world: Sign to ban chlorpyrifos! Its defenders say chlorpyrifos is an effective pesticide -- but that?s because it?s derived from a class of chemicals developed to make nerve gas! This could be one of the most toxic chemicals we?ve ever put on our food. The effects it can have on the human body are devastating, triggering everything from lung cancer to Parkinson?s disease. And children can be badly affected, damaging their brain development and reducing their IQ. Now we have a chance to call time on chlorpyrifos use. With Europe close to a ban, we can take this over the line, then help launch a movement to take the fight to other major markets across the world -- starting with Brazil and big US states where key decisions are imminent. Sign now and share with everyone -- let's get this toxic chemical off our food and out of our children?s bodies ASAP: Sign to ban chlorpyrifos! Our community played a central role in the fight against glyphosate, and when chemical kingpin Monsanto took us to court over our campaign, we came together and won! Chlorpyrifos is even worse -- so let?s stop this poison being spread before it does more damage!

Can you make an urgent $1 donation so we can fight back? Donating just takes a moment ? use Paypal or your card. Donate $1 now We?ve just been hit with a big libel charge from PayPal. The reason: we protested outside PayPal?s HQ and told the tech giant to end its business relationship with a neo-Nazi group in Germany. Here?s is what you need to know: More than 100,000 SumOfUs members signed a petition to get PayPal to shut down the account of Pro Chemnitz, a neo-Nazi group responsible for refugee hunts and attacks on Jewish restaurants. Pro Chemnitz uses PayPal to raise money to finance their hate. Today we tried to bring your voices to the PayPal HQ in Berlin -- and were greeted by the police. PayPal is pressing charges for libel -- even though all we did was state the truth. This is big. PayPal is a multi-billion dollar corporation with unlimited resources to intimidate us and thwart our battle against hate. But we have unlimited power in members like you. A heavy-weight lawsuit like this could be ruinous for a small organization like SumOfUs. They are trying to scare us, Vladimir. But we won?t let them get away with it. Donating just takes a moment ? use Paypal or your card. Can you chip in $1 now so we?re ready for a lawsuit? A mobile billboard exposing PayPal?s ties to neo-Nazis has been circling the HQ since 8 am this morning -- paid for by SumOfUs members like you. And lucky for us PayPal?s HQ is made out of glass -- so all its employees couldn?t hide from our message. That?s why PayPal?s execs are so furious. They don?t want to be associated with neo-Nazis. When we arrived the police were already there to inform us that we?d been charged with libel by PayPal for associating them with neo-Nazis. It?s clear: PayPal would rather use its financial might to scare us away with legal action, than face up to its shameful ties with neo-Nazis. It?s a low blow to silence the likes of you and me, and anyone who speaks truth to power. The police made us tape over the PayPal logo on our billboard, but the message is still there for everyone to see. Our lawyers think the next step is for PayPal to slap us with a gag order. We have the facts and lawyers to back our case. But fighting PayPal in court will be costly, and could drag out for months or even years. Your donation right now could be the difference between giving up and beating PayPal at its scare game. Donating just takes a moment ? use Paypal or your card.

We can?t do it without your help! I'll chip in Hi, I?d like you to imagine a massive alarm going off. Wherever you are right now -- home, work, on the train -- picture it. Ringing so loudly, you can?t hear yourself think. Are you with me so far? Now look around you. People going about their lives, ignoring the alarm, pretending not to notice the emergency. You want to take action, but you can't do it alone. Now imagine this alarm is planet earth. And the ringing, her desperate cries for help. Millions of Europeans are waking up to the climate emergency. But 27 key people are sleeping through that alarm, and refusing to acknowledge the emergency unfolding around us. These are Europe?s future leaders. At their helm, Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen. [1] But they still have to be voted in by Members of the European Parliament, our representatives. This means they haven?t yet fully secured their power and this gives us a big opportunity to make them take action! We have a top-secret plan to make our leaders hear us. If we succeed, we can push them to commit to fight climate change. All I can say for now is this: we are going to crash a key meeting about their future in Brussels this week. But to succeed, we need more resources for things like printing banners, contacting media, ensuring live coverage, etc. Pooling together what each of us can afford, a few euros here and there, will make this possible. So are you in? I?ll donate ?10 I?ll donate ?20 I?ll donate ?30 I?ll donate ?50 I can't donate Have you seen the images of Venice this week? The precious city is suffering the worst flooding in almost 150 years. [2] Venice is not the only city in crisis: climate change means the ice caps are melting, and sea levels are rising. [3] Across the world, floods and fires are rampant. The alarm bell is ringing louder than ever: our planet is shouting out for our urgent help. Fortunately, it is still possible to avoid the worst effects of climate breakdown. But we only have about 11 years to do this. [3] Which means we need to start taking serious action now. Today. Let?s not miss this opportunity to make sure our new European leaders recognise the climate emergency and get cracking on solutions. Europe?s new leaders need to be voted in by MEPs. And with our help, they can make sure the new European Commissioners will be climate leaders. What do we want them to do? Two simple things: 1. Lower our targets to reduce greenhouse gas use, in line with the Paris Climate Agreement; and 2. put their money where their mouth is (at least ?400 billion a year for a climate and energy transition). Today we need you to help make some noise - with the money you can afford for climate action. Will you chip in to support this last-minute action?

We invite your organisations to consider signing on the Lofoten Declaration. The Declaration calls advanced economies considering themselves to be climate leaders to phase out oil, gas and coal production in addition to the plans of restricting their consumption. Such countries as China, Costa Rica, France, New Zealand, Spain and some others have already taken action on restricting fossil fuel supply (see page 5 here), but much more action is needed. Our goal is to announce 1000 signatories of the Lofoten Declaration at COP 25 to ensure that world leaders recognise the importance of phasing out fossil fuels and to hear the demand for this bold leadership around the world. We are just over halfway to our goal of 1000 signatories and it would be an immense help if your organisations joins, and you spread the word further. We are looking to reach out to climate and environment-related NGOs, organisations campaigning for human rights, as well as businesses, faith groups and many others. You can find the Declaration here: http://www.lofotendeclaration.org/. The website is also available in French and Spanish. The document attached to this email provides more information about the background and context of the Lofoten Declaration as well as sample tweets and Facebook posts to amplify the Declaration on social media.

Sign the petition Facial recognition tech can help you breeze through airport security in seconds or it can have you handcuffed in tie-wraps in a windowless room, it can all hinge upon the colour of your skin or what you choose to post on social media. AnyVision, a cutting-edge facial recognition startup funded by Microsoft, is using its technology to facilitate repressive governments - China, Russia, and Israel so far - hunt down and silence ordinary people. The AnyVision-Microsoft scandal has erupted in the US media. And since early 2019, many Microsoft workers are demanding that their company hold itself to higher standards and give them a say on how their work is used. Fearing the backlash, Microsoft has now hired former United States Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate whether AnyVision violated Microsoft?s ethics guidelines. You can help push Microsoft to drop this toxic profit-at-any-cost facial recognition startup, and support the tech workers fighting from the inside. Tell Microsoft to uphold democratic freedoms by dropping AnyVision. Non-discrimination, fairness, and consent - are among the six principles Microsoft adopted for facial recognition. AnyVision has described its system as nonvoluntary because people being watched don?t need to register for them to be detected automatically. In the occupied Palestinian territories, AnyVision can detect and follow any Palestinian who has said something negative about Israel on Facebook, deciding whether or not that person can cross border controls. It?s a racially-biased algorithm and it is being used in AnyVision?s worldwide network of 115 000 cameras. Microsoft must distance itself from blatantly discriminatory technology and divest from AnyVision. We know that when SumOfUs members like you act, Big Tech takes notice. When 86,000 SumOfUs members around the world demanded that Google drop its controversial Dragonfly Project, a censored search engine tool for China, Google listened and abandoned it! SumOfus is joining Jewish Voices for Peace in its push back against Microsoft. JVP has been instrumental in shedding light on AnyVision?s population-controlling piece of tech.

This is the first ?die-in? in the Parliament?s history. Its purpose? To expose the cost of our leaders? inaction against climate emergency. And only one thing can bring our demonstrators back to life: knowing that Europe?s 27 new leaders will do everything they can to fight global warming. These leaders haven?t yet fully secured their power -- their future is in the hands of our representatives, Members of the European Parliament. This gives us a big opportunity to get them on our side. To do this, we need your help. There are several MEPs who could tip the balance in our favour. But, due to pressure from many polluting lobbies, we could lose their support for climate action. The vote is in a week. Today, we are taking this extraordinary action in the European Parliament to pile on the pressure. Please stand with us and amplify our calls, so that the world knows what?s happening right now: TWEET AT MEPs Science tells us we have just 11 years to avoid the worst effects of climate breakdown. Amongst them: extreme heat, droughts and floods. [1] There is good news too: the same scientists tell us that we already have access to key solutions that can curb the damages of climate change. We should match the ambitions of the Paris Climate agreement, phase-out fossil fuels, and massively finance the climate and energy transition. But we can?t wait: we have to act now. In a few days, the European Parliament is voting on our new European leaders - 27 new Commissioners. So together we?re pressing our MEPs to make sure these commissioners will be climate heroes. And we?re deliberately targeting very influential MEPs with our tweets. By focusing on some key members of Socialists and Democrats (S&D), Green and Renew (Liberals) groups of MEPs, together we can persuade them to reject the commission for its conservative action on the climate emergency. If we convince these MEPs, their majority will be enough to reject the Commission in favour of real climate action. TWEET AT MEPs This is not the first time our community has joined forces to tell MEPs we can?t wait any longer for them to act on this crisis. [2] Last month, we joined marches throughout Europe with the climate strikers, and organised a powerful sit-in in the European Parliament.

The pesticide lobby couldn?t be happier! Sign the urgent petition to hurry the EU into allowing the ban -- to save Belgium?s bees! Sign the petition Belgium is this close to banning all bee-harming neonicotinoid pesticides, but the EU is blocking it. You and I urgently need to get this ban back on track. Bees are being sprayed and exposed to the toxic pesticides! The European Commission needs to give its green light, but it?s been stalling for months now -- putting the balance of bees and nature that our food and ecosystem depends on in danger. Vladimir, will you make your voice count and demand that the European Commission allows Belgium to ban pesticides that are toxic to bees? Sign the petition to support Belgium?s ban on ALL bee-harming neonicotinoid pesticides! Bees pollinate food eaten by you and I, birds and other animals, making these tiny miracle-workers essential to our planet?s health. But bees are often sidelined in the pursuit of short term profits for big agriculture and the pesticide lobby. ?Neonics? are a key cause in the decline of Europe?s bees. And the danger to our bees -- and humans -- is so real. In Belgium about 75% of flowering plants breed thanks to pollinators and the economic value of pollination can reach several hundred million euros per year. Now Belgium wants to build on the EU's 2018 ban on the three worst neonics, and ban every pesticide in this toxic class! But they can't do it unless the EU gives its green light. The Belgian ban is especially important as within the EU, bees are dying the most in Belgium and France. In response, France has already banned all neonicotinoid pesticides. Now the EU must allow Belgium to do the same! Tell the European Commission not to wait any longer and to allow the Belgian ban on ALL neonicotinoids to save our bees! Public pressure works. Last year, more than a million Europeans beat the powerful pesticide lobby by getting European governments to ban three of the most dangerous bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides. Today a wider ban on all neonicotinoid pesticides in Belgium has never been closer. Vladimir, can you add your voice to tell the European Commission that we no longer want these poisons in our lives and those of our bees?

Donate $1 now A new study just confirmed our worst fears. We?ve lost more than half of the insect population in the last decades. Why?

Together with beekeepers, farmers, scientists, and activists from all over Europe, we?re launching a European Citizens? Initiative (ECI) to get the EU to phase out harmful pesticides and protect our bees. We know this works: you stopped the dangerous trade deal TTIP with an ECI. But we have our work cut out for us. We need to collect 1 million signatures in at least seven European countries and follow the strict guidelines to make sure every single vote counts. Scaling up like this doesn?t come free. We can only do this with your support. Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card. Can you chip in $1 to launch this game-changing initiative to save our insects from pesticides? Let?s be frank: we don?t have any time to lose if we want a chance to turn this around. That?s why the launch date is ambitious: kick off is next week. Gathering that many signatures in so many different languages take time and money: for translators, experts, flyers, posters, ads, billboards, social media, and in-person actions. But the pay-off can be huge: If we can get a million signatures in seven European countries, the Commission has to listen and act out a plan to phase out all synthetic pesticides and support small farms as they transition to bee-friendly, organic agriculture. Picture this: bees, butterflies and birds all happily co-existing with clean and healthy farms that use smart technology and sustainable methods. Bayer-Monsanto would be livid! And you can bet that their lobbyists will fight you tooth and nail. So we need to be ready. Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card. Can you chip in $1 to save all insects from Bayer?s toxic pesticides? If there was ever a time to pass an ambitious initiative like this one, it?s now. All across Europe, people are realising that time is running out for the bees -- and taking action to protect the precious pollinators we have left. And thanks to SumOfUs members like you, we?re finally getting through to the people in power. You were the ones who helped to push the EU to ban three of Bayer and Syngenta?s bee-harming neonicotinoid pesticides last year -- and even add a fourth, thiacloprid, to the list last month, after mounting evidence it was dangerous to bees and farmworkers. This initiative is a chance to go beyond that -- to end all toxic pesticide use and transform our farming system into one that benefits both bees and the people who depend on them. And here?s the thing: Where Europe goes, other regions will follow. Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card. Will you help make this the biggest European Citizens' Initiative ever and save our insects?

Getting ready for a tweetstorm! Dear friends, here's the latest from the campaign front: - we're very worried about the negotiations right now. We've tried to explain to our readers why, in layman's terms, here . I'd be happy to know if you share our concerns. We think it's time to step up our efforts to stop the Council&lobbies' attempts to water down the regulation. Next week's trilogue could go very wrong. - The good news is that our joint appeal is now live in French (English and German went out last week) and it will be live in Italian and Dutch very very soon. With English and German we got to 77k. Surely we'll do a lot better when all versions are live and NGOs start pushing. - Another mailing should go out this weekend so hopefully we'll reach our first target at 100k signatures before next week's trilogue. T&E is also mailing its list this weekend, you can see our appeal here. - Tuesday we are launching a tweetstorm. We'll target all national politicians mentioned in the letter + EU policymakers. You can see some of the tweets that the machine will fire here . There's 20 tweets in both English and French. I will share the tweetstorm's url on Monday so you can direct your supporters to it via emails/socials. - New great creative assets: check out our micro-morphing videos here and attached. They're perfect clickbaits for generating leads on social. All creative assets are licensed and free for you to use. All in the usual folder here I know everyone's agenda is very busy, but next week is really important and we need to push our comms colleagues as much as possible to give us some 'real estate' on our media now.

We only need 1,500 more signatures, Vladimir, to reach a whopping 110,000 before our petition delivery in two weeks. Will you add your name? Yes, Nestl? is attacking another small community for its water supply. But you have shown time and time again that if we speak out against Nestl?, we can win. Thanks for all that you do, Allison, Angus and the team at SumOfUs See our original email below: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Water thief Nestl? is gearing up to plunder a community?s crystal blue springs -- all without paying a dime. If Nestl? gets its way, it will pump a million gallons a day from Florida?s Ginnie Springs and bottle it in throwaway plastic. Tell local water officials to protect their community?s water from corporate greed. Sign the petition Nestl? is about to suck a fragile spring in Florida dry -- all to churn out millions of plastic bottles of water. Ginnie Springs is more than a fairytale-beautiful swimming hole. Its waters are the lifeblood of the Santa Fe River ecosystem, a haven for rare turtle species and a vital source of drinking water. Now Nestl? wants to plunder Ginnie Springs? publicly owned water and sell it back to taxpayers for a giant profit, creating mountains of single-use plastic in the process. And even though Florida has spent huge sums to restore Ginnie Springs and the river it feeds, Nestl? gets to drain all that water -- 1.1 million gallons a day -- without paying a cent to affected communities. Right now local water officials are deciding whether to let Nestl? suck up the springs. They?re paying close attention to the public's growing outrage. Local community groups are working tirelessly to protect this precious water source, but they need your help to make their demands impossible to ignore. Tell Florida water officials: Protect Ginnie Springs from Nestl??s greed. Every gallon Nestl? plunders in Ginnie Springs is a gallon stolen from the region?s fragile rivers and wetlands. Nestl? claims it will be a responsible steward of the water -- but you and I know that promise is all wet. For years, the corporation has been illegally sucking tens of millions of gallons from California?s San Bernardino National Forest, even through deep droughts. And in Canada, Nestl? is draining First Nations land while community members go without water for drinking and bathing. We know we can win this. Communities in Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have successfully stopped other Nestl? water grabs. During a major drought in Ontario, 160,000 SumOfUs members like you stopped Nestl??s profit-driven raid on community water. And last year, you raised tens of thousands of dollars to help a small Michigan town fight Nestl??s water greed. Don?t let Nestl? pillage community water and churn out more plastic garbage. Add your name to protect Ginnie Springs and the ecosystem it supports.

Hun Sen told government officials that even with the loss of the trade privileges, Cambodia would be able to export its products to the EU as before. It would earn lower profits, but the EU would no longer be able to threaten or put any conditions on Cambodia, he said.

Our food supply and our survival as a species is truly at stake. Our broken, profit-centred agriculture has to change. Call on the EU to save bees and completely phase-out synthetic pesticides. SAVE BEES. SIGN NOW. Hi, Bees are dying out. Big pesticide producers like Bayer-Monsanto will do anything to increase their sales and bottom-line, and they are forcing the hands of farmers. The only way for farmers to succeed in this intensive, industrial agriculture system is to use pesticides that kill the bees. We need the bees because they pollinate one-third of the food we eat. Pollination is essential to our lives because our fruits, vegetables, and the crops that feed livestock require pollination to be fertilised. Without bees, there would literally be no food! [1] And we have little time to prevent bee populations from disappearing. That?s why we?re supporting a European Citizens? Initiative (ECI) to radically change our agriculture for the better, restore our ecosystems, and protect our farmers and bees. We?re asking for all pesticides to be phased out. It?s a big ask, but if more than ONE MILLION of us sign, the EU Commission and our MEPs will be legally obligated to meet us and address our demands. There?s already big momentum on pesticides -- glyphosate will soon be re-evaluated by the EU and more and more citizens are calling to protect the bees. [2] Sign now to save the bees! Intensive agriculture (made possible by synthetic pesticides) has destroyed the diversity of the Earth?s nature. That diversity is essential for sustainable agriculture and protecting our climate. Thankfully, nature recovers quickly when we take decisive action to bring back wildlife and abandon the use of synthetic pesticides. But we have to act now, before it?s too late. For decades, billions of euros worth of public and private funds have been poured into the pockets of pesticide producers. All while those producers have convinced our politicians to ignore the negative effects pesticides cause on bees, the environment and on our health. But finally, our leaders are starting to wake up to our calls because of people?s mobilisations. Following calls from millions of Europeans last year, the EU agreed to a near-total ban on neonicotinoids, a specific kind of pesticide that harms the central nervous systems of bees. [3] Just last month, the EU decided that it will not renew the license for another pesticide. [4] And all of this on the back of a new law that the EU approved earlier this year, increasing transparency throughout the pesticide approval process! [5] But we can?t just keep banning individual types of pesticides! Our public resources ought to fund research to allow agriculture to prosper and bees to thrive, while also rebuilding our dying ecosystems. And to do that, we need to phase out synthetic pesticides altogether. Sign now to rebuild our ecosystems! Pesticide producers argue that we can?t phase out pesticides, or else the price of food will skyrocket. But the highest price we could ever pay for our food is the destruction of our planet for future generations to come. And that?s the price they?re already producing and selling unsustainable, cheap food for -- we pay for it through burning our forests, polluting our water, eroding our soil, contaminating our air. And killing the bees. Our WeMove community has been at the forefront of the struggle for sustainable agriculture in Europe. Now, with this ECI we have a real chance to push for a truly different and sustainable agricultural model for Europe and the world. Will you join us?

The fact that big oil, coal, and gas companies could sue them for millions if they do, thanks to the little-known Energy Charter Treaty. Public pressure could put an end to this dirty agreement and kick-start the transition to clean, green energy. Will you add your name? Sign the Petition Europe?s got a dirty secret. It could kill the Paris Climate Agreement, and even block EU countries from implementing a Green New Deal. A piece of paper signed 25 years ago gives big oil, gas, and coal companies the power to sue entire countries for billions over laws that damage their profits. And right now, they?re using that power to block a green energy transition and accelerate climate chaos. The Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) can be used to challenge oil drilling bans, the rejection of gas pipelines and taxes on fossil fuels. And it works. Governments are forced either to relax their clean energy laws, or pay eye-watering sums of money in compensation to fossil fuel companies. Tell the EU and the government of Russia to pull out of the Energy Charter Treaty! Citizens all over the EU want a Green New Deal. But that?ll only happen if we rip up this unfair agreement and stop letting fossil fuel corporations boss us around. Italy already did it. Now, the rest of Europe has to follow suit. The number of lawsuits under the ECT -- which take place not in normal courts, but in closed-door tribunals -- has exploded in recent years. There have been over 83 cases in the past six years alone, and the majority have been decided or settled in favour of dirty energy corporations. This so-called "Investor State Dispute Settlement" (ISDS) regime must end. Take the multinational Vattenfall, which was able to relax environmental restrictions on one of its coal plants by suing Germany for ?1.4 billion. Or Germany?s own Uniper, which is threatening the Netherlands with a massive lawsuit if it goes ahead with a coal ban. But we?ve got a chance to strike back. All over the continent, people like you and me are pushing our governments to take action against the dirty fossil fuel industry. We?ve made climate change a major issue in recent elections and staged millions-strong climate strikes. Now, we need to use that same people power to end the Energy Charter Treaty -- because if we don?t, we?ll soon be back at square one. There?s no time to waste -- tell European governments to stop the fossil fuel industry?s bullying and pull out of the Energy Charter Treaty.

[1] Austria is set to become the first EU country to completely ban glyphosate. [2] But before the ban can come into effect, it needs to be upheld by the EU Commission. Bayer-Monsanto is piling on the pressure to convince our representatives to prevent the ban. If we join together across Europe in support of the ban, our voices can eclipse those of Bayer?s lobbyists. Thousands of us who have been, or will be threatened by the poisonous weed killer now have the chance to make ourselves heard and convince those in power to ban glyphosate. But we don?t have much time - the Commission is only accepting public comments until Friday! Let?s make sure they hear our message, let's prove that our people power is stronger than the corporate lobby. Just click below to fill out a simple form and we will send the comment on your behalf. Email the EU Commission to demand a glyphosate-free and safer future for Europe The European Commission has always said that EU countries can ban glyphosate within their own borders. But, of course, Bayer-Monsanto doesn?t care: they?ve even come out publicly saying that they expect the European Commission to strike down Austria?s ban on glyphosate. [3] While the pesticide industry and giants like Bayer-Monsanto continue to maintain that glyphosate is safe, scientific evidence of glyphosate?s carcinogenic effect is increasing. A review of existing studies from the University of Washington found that exposure to glyphosate increases the risk of cancer by 41 percent. [4] They noted that a ?compelling link? exists between exposure to glyphosate and non-Hodgkin?s lymphoma. It?s no surprise that Austria?s parliament recently voted to ban glyphosate and that the German government announced it would start a gradual phasing out of the chemical. [5] The only opponents to the ban are Bayer-Monsanto, the glyphosate industry, and their lobbyists, who claim it contravenes EU procedures. Their argument that Austria?s ban is ?inconsistent with mandatory legal and procedural requirements? is fanciful given that, after a public outcry following the EU re-approval of glyphosate in 2017, the Commission assured national governments that they would be able to make their own decisions on glyphosate. [6] Together we need to stop Bayer-Monsanto from blocking a ban on glyphosate in Austria. And all we need to do is remind the EU Commission of their own words! Let?s write to the Commission to make sure they protect our food safety, and ask its members - our representatives - to respect all EU countries? right to ban pesticides. Ensure people-power wins over the corporate lobby: write to the EU to protect our food safety In the past, together we?ve proven that our people power can make a difference on glyphosate. In 2017, thanks to our campaigning with our NGO partners, the EU only granted a 5-year license to glyphosate and not the 15-year license that the industry wanted. [7] That year we launched an official European Citizens? Initiative (ECI) which gathered over 1 million signatures in favour of banning glyphosate. And as a direct response to our ECI, the EU changed the law so that formerly secret industry safety studies must be shown to the public! [8] Write to the EU now and support Austria?s ban. If the ban is upheld, we?ll be closer than ever to an EU-wide ban and a glyphosate-free and safer future for all of Europe.

The project was marked as the best governance tool by the Forum organisers. The tool can be used by banks, investment funds and development institutions for priority financing of the most environmentally responsible and transparent industries and companies that use the best available technologies (BAT) for sustainable development. The Forum was held on November 12-13 with the participation of President of France Emmanuel Macron, UN Secretary General Ant?nio Guterres, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, Vice President of the People?s Republic of China Van Qishan, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov, President of the Congo F?lix Tshisekedi, as well as 30 more heads of state and more than 136 official delegations. The Forum goal was promoting the development of international cooperation and collective action to solve global problems. The Forum was attended by more than 6 thousand people. They got the opportunity to Learn about the 100 best public initiatives selected in the competition in 6 thematic areas: peace and security, environment, development, new technologies, inclusive economy, culture and education. The joint project of FoE Russia (Russian Social Ecological Union) and Interfax-ERA ?Rating for Nature Protection," which passed a competitive selection, presents 20 years of experience of motivating businesses to increase their environmental responsibility and transparency by compiling environmental and energy efficiency ratings of companies. The project has proved its efficiency in Russia and Kazakhstan. In total, more than 6,000 companies in the real sector of the economy participate in the 2019 rating. The objectiveness of the rating tool is confirmed by the dynamics of the market value of the rating leaders. As of November 2019, the total dynamics of the share prices of the leaders in the rating was almost 40% ahead of the average market dynamics and never (in the whole monitoring period since 2007) fell below the market average. For the needs of portfolio investors at the New York Stock Exchange, Interfax-ERA ratings are monitored by CSRHub, which aggregates many non-financial assessments and broadcasts their results to Bloomberg agency terminals.

You and I are the last generation that can stop our natural world collapsing beyond the point of no return. Will you sign the official petition calling on the EU to stop the use of all synthetic pesticides by 2035? Together we need to gather 1 million signatures to force the EU to consider legislating to save our bees and natural ecosystems. Sign the petition Toxic pesticides have helped choke out half the planet?s insects in the past 50 years -- including 23 bee species. But, Vladimir, you can still help to turn this around. SumOfUs is teaming up with beekeepers, farmers and scientists to take the first steps towards a completely pesticide-free Europe. You can help gather 1 million signatures on a new European Citizens? Initiative (ECI) that will force the EU to consider a new law to transform Europe?s food and farming system, so that farmers, bees and biodiversity thrive in harmony. It?s a two step process as it?s an official EU initiative, but it only takes two minutes. Add your name to the Europe-wide initiative to save bees and farmers from toxic pesticides The UN has warned that the window of opportunity to stop the breakdown of the world's climate and ecosystems is closing fast. Natural spaces in Germany have lost over 70% of their insect populations in the last 27 years. But farmers are trapped in a distorted market. They?re financially reliant on spraying huge amounts of pesticides on large monoculture farms. These pesticides weaken their soil, harm their health and are wiping out bees and birds on an unprecedented scale. Farmers shouldn?t be priced out of farming in harmony with nature. By signing this European Citizens? Initiative (ECI), you can support a radical new plan to reform the agriculture industry -- by phasing out all synthetic pesticides by 2035 and helping farmers to move to small scale, diverse and sustainable farming. If we collect over a million signatures the EU has to come up with a response. This was how 3 million of us managed to help derail the disastrous TTIP trade deal in 2017, and how 1.6 million of us may soon force the EU to end industrial farms? cruel practice of caging animals. Add your name now and push the EU to save our natural world from intensive farming! If there was ever a time to pass an ambitious initiative like this one, it?s now. Together, SumOfUs members like you have persuaded the EU to ban some of the worst bee-killing pesticides. You were the ones who helped to push the EU to ban three of Bayer and Syngenta?s bee-harming neonicotinoid pesticides last year -- and got a fourth, thiacloprid, added to the list last month, after mounting evidence it was dangerous to bees and farm workers. Now, we need to finish what we started. This initiative is a chance to end all toxic pesticide use and transform our farming system into one that benefits both bees and the people who depend on them. But it won?t succeed unless we take advantage of the momentum we have now -- so, Vladimir, will you sign and make this launch huge?

Now well over a year later, no one has been held accountable and the victims have already waited too long for redress. The background and details have been documented in a report, Reckless Endangerment. International Rivers and Inclusive Development International are engaged in a campaign to hold those responsible for the Xe Pian Xe Namnoy dam collapse accountable through demanding that the developers, financiers and insurers of the project ensure that real compensation is provided to the survivors in Laos and Cambodia. As part of the campaign, people are urged to sign their names to a letter that will be sent directly to the project backers. The idea is to increase public pressure on these companies to do the right thing. For more information and to sign on to the campaign, go to http://xpxnaccountability.net/take-action/ We encourage you to consider signing on through the above link.
