Adding to the growing list of COVID-19 resources, we've released a briefing 
with energy-related DOs and DON'Ts to guide decision-makers on policy 
pathways for recovery efforts. As oil markets continue their extreme 
volatility, our new briefing argues a managed and equitable phase-out of oil 
and gas production is key for a just, resilient recovery:

Blog: 
http://priceofoil.org/2020/04/22/a-resilient-recovery-means-a-managed-decline-of-oil-and-gas-production

We?ve put together a short toolkit with sample graphics to help spread it 
around:

  NEW: Bailing out the fossil fuel industry is a bad, shortsighted fix to a 
bigger problem. There are better ways to recover from the #COVID19 crisis.

Message-ID: <B4E96C06AF8C4AFEB6F10B13689B4E3E@evol.sp.ru>



If there is anything this crisis has taught us, it?s that far too many 
Americans have to make an unthinkable choice: Do I go to work sick and feed 
my family, or do I recover and risk losing my job or wages?

The United States lags behind the rest of the industrialized world in 
providing its workers with paid sick leave. Almost 40% of American workers 
in the private sector are without paid sick leave protections, and a 
staggering 79% of low-wage workers do not have paid sick time.



No one should have to choose between getting healthy and losing out on a 
paycheck. It is time the federal government expands paid sick leave to all 
workers, in all sectors, whether full-time or part-time. It?s a 
cost-effective way to improve health outcomes, reduce the spread of illness, 
and boost productivity.

We need paid sick leave now. Share your thoughts with your friends and 
followers on social media.

Let's get to work,

Hi,

The last few weeks have been unbelievable. Everywhere people are mourning 
loved ones lost to COVID-19. Families are struggling with school closures. 
Workers are scared that their jobs won?t return after the crisis.

But we?re learning things, too. The critical importance of health and care 
staff. The enormous potential for innovation by scientists looking for a 
vaccine. The resourcefulness of communities coming together to support one 
another.

The final chapters in the story of COVID-19 won?t be written for some time, 
but the decisions we make in the next few weeks will determine what they 
are. Do we allow more people to fall into poverty, or get serious about 
universal basic income? How do we make sure our recovery protects our 
climate as well as our economies?

WeMove Europe is ready to play our part in calling for the right kind of 
recovery from COVID-19: one that puts people, communities and our planet at 
its heart. Will you chip in, to support our campaign for a fairer, cleaner 
recovery from COVID-19? It only takes a minute.

      I'll donate ?8
      I'll donate ?16
      I'll donate ?24
      I'll surprise you!

Here?s how the WeMove Europe community is already campaigning for a 
responsible recovery from coronavirus:

  a.. Pressuring European governments to make the biggest investment in 
sustainable technology and infrastructure ever, so 2020 is the year we turn 
our economies green
  b.. Campaigning for the medicines that can help treat COVID-19 to be made 
affordable for everyone
  c.. Telling Europe?s leaders to sign up to coronabonds, so that all 
countries - not just the richest economies - can borrow affordable money to 
help them to recover from the crisis
  d.. Calling on Europe?s leaders to create an Unconditional Basic Income, 
to make sure no-one falls further into poverty because of COVID-19
People power has never been more important. As governments scramble to 
respond, we have a unique chance to make the case for big change, because 
the last few weeks have proved it?s possible: in just days, we saw 
homelessness reduced to almost zero in some cities, prototype vaccines 
developed in weeks not months, and whole hospitals built overnight.

The WeMove Europe staff team is small, and we?re working alongside our 
members to plan the best way to help shape the COVID-19 recovery. The 
campaigns above are just the start. There?s so much more we could do to 
protect public services and the planet, and build a thriving Europe that can 
take a vital role in the world after the crisis ends.

WeMove doesn?t take donations from big corporations, or governments. We rely 
on small donations from our members to do our work. Can you chip in, so we 
can make our COVID-19 recovery campaign our strongest yet?

      I'll donate ?8
      I'll donate ?16
      I'll donate ?24
      I'll surprise you!

The opportunity to set the stage for the generations to come doesn?t come 
along very often. But when it does, the potential is huge. After World War 
Two, people worked together to build the United Nations, lay the foundations 
of the European Union and create international laws that protected people 
from genocide and war crimes in the future.

Now, we have our chance to set the tone for the decades ahead. We can push 
back against dangerous climate change, and tackle inequality. We can use 
this moment to reverse the rise of the far-right, because COVID-19 is 
proving that communities survive when they stand together.

Can you make a small donation to our COVID-19 Campaign Fund, so we can take 
our campaigns to the next level?

Thanks for everything you do,

David, J?rg, and the entire WeMove Europe

PS: We?ve already been thinking of ideas for how we could ramp up our 
campaigns for a responsible COVID-19 recovery - here are just a few:

  a.. Gather a group of citizens to meet with European decision makers in 
webinars, so the people in charge know what the crisis means for the rest of 
us when they are making choices for the future
  b.. Show-stopping media tactics, like hologram projections on EU 
buildings, to help shape the media landscape
  c.. Buying ads in newspapers read all over Europe, to make sure everyone 
knows about the message of our campaigns
We can?t make these tactics happen without your help - can you chip in?

WeMove.EU is a citizens? movement, campaigning for a better Europe; for a 
European Union committed to social and economic justice, environmental 
sustainability and citizen-led democracy. We are people from all walks of 
life, who call Europe our home whether we were born in Europe or elsewhere.

Subject: *[Enwl-eng] Please support! Ten Points paper on EU Sustainable
 Taxonomy
Message-ID: <113D70F688EC4ECEAF13B156C69DADDF@evol.sp.ru>

Dear All,


Following the note below, I write again from Brussels (in slightly less of a 
panic) to ask you to support an updated 'Ten Points' text on the EU Taxonomy 
of Sustainable Activities.


We have asked for your help many times already but we think it has never 
been more important that you continue your support in what is a key battle 
for the European sustainable agenda. As they prepare for the EU's 
announcement of a sustainable recovery, the EIB, the ECB, and many 
programmes such as InvestEU will soon use the Taxonomy to decide which 
activities to support - this alone will move hundreds of billions of euros. 
The taxonomy may also be a key instrument for the future EU Recovery Fund, 
which could amount to 1.5 trillion euros.


We need these funds to be spent sustainably, so we are sending the EU 
Commission a strong signal. We aim to collect 100 signatures by 12h00 on the 
11th of May: you can already submit yours through this Google Form. Please 
also forward this to your contacts. Should the Google Form not work for you, 
please contact me with your organisation's name, your full name, and your 
position/job title.


For more details, see below.


---000---


State of Play


Last month, the EU's Technical Expert Group (TEG) published their 
recommendations on the EU Taxonomy of Sustainable Activities. Crucially, 
nuclear is out, fossil fuels are out, and waste incineration is also out, 
and we want to keep it that way.

The report is relatively science-based and it integrates quite a number of 
issues that you helped us raise by signing last September's Ten Points 
Statement.
For a more detailed reaction to the report, please see here.





What happens now?

As the public consultation is over, the Commission is now turning the 
technical recommendations into law. That means that the only avenue left to 
put pressure on the Commission is the media and informal contacts. 
Therefore, we propose sending the Ten Points document informally to key EU 
decision-makers and journalists so they know we are watching this process 
carefully.


As we saw during last week's public consultation, lobbyists for nuclear, 
gas, incineration, bioenergy and others are still trying to attack the 
taxonomy in any way they can.
We NGOs must respond to ask the Commission only to strengthen, not weaken, 
the taxonomy. We need to make sure the Commission understands that nuclear, 
gas, incineration, and other such activities do not belong in any 
sustainable taxonomy.





What can I do?


1. Please check the 'Ten Points' text to see whether you can support it. We 
kept many points from the first Ten Points text and we are trying to make 
this text short and simple - remember it is a petition rather than a 
detailed briefing! For any red lines, please contact me directly.


2. To signal your support, use this Google Form.


If the Google Form does not work, reply to me directly stating your:
Organisation, Signatory's Position

Signatory Name and Surname


3. Please circulate to your contacts! We achieved 60 signatures for the last 
letter. Now we aim for 100!


---000---


As always, do not hesitate to write to me should you have any questions.


Best wishes,


Henry

  Dear all,


  Following your support for our previous appeals for signatures on the EU 
Taxonomy, we are coming back to you with a further update and a slightly 
worrying warning.


  State of Play


  You may have seen that, last month, the EU's Technical Expert Group (TEG) 
published their recommendations on the EU Taxonomy of Sustainable 
Activities - see the 'Technical Annex' here.

  The report is relatively science-based and it integrated quite a number of 
issues that you helped us raise last September in the previous Ten Points 
Statement. Crucially, nuclear is out, fossil fuels are out, and waste 
incineration is also out. For more detail on our reaction to the report, see 
here.


  What happens now?


  We have put together another, updated, 'Ten Points' text, which we will 
soon ask you to sign, so we can forward it informally to key advocacy 
targets inside the Commission.


  However, the urgent thing is the Commission's consultation on the TEG 
technical recommendations, which closes next Monday 27/04. It is the last 
chance for public input before the Commission turns the criteria into the 
definitive taxonomy law (known as a delegated act). The page to submit this 
input is here.

  Now for the worrying bit. The nuclear and gas lobbies have already flooded 
this consultation page with answers, demanding that nuclear be re-included, 
asking for weaker thresholds on emissions, looking for more exemptions for 
biofuels... the usual!
  European environmental NGOs must respond. It is important that we send 
lots of replies: the Commission will not read these consultations in detail, 
but will instead simply look at which activities are most discussed and 
whether their criteria are broadly opposed or supported. We need to make 
sure the Commission understands that nuclear, gas, and incineration do not 
belong in the sustainable taxonomy.


  What can I do?


  Attached, you will find a template response to the consultation. Its 
length is adapted to the consultation's strict 4000-character limit.


  Could we ask you to
    a.. Slightly modify/adapt the responses so they do not appear completely 
identical - copy-pasting weakens individual responses).
    b.. Go to the consultation response page - click here - you may have to 
register, but please do!
    c.. Submit your answers!


  Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you need any clarification or if 
we can assist with this process - we are happy to help.


  Best wishes,


  Henry

                        It?s time to support New Yorkers in their great 
victory against nuclear power.
                        Sign the Petition Today




                  We?re on the verge of a great victory against nuclear 
power: Reactor 2 of the New York-based Indian Point power plant will be shut 
down today, April 30. The final reactor will be shut down this time next 
year.

                  Thousands of activists in New York and around the country 
have worked toward this moment for a long time. Today, we?re taking some 
time to celebrate the first step of this great victory!

                  But supporters of nuclear power are using the shutdown?and 
the pandemic, if you can believe it?as an opportunity to defend nuclear 
energy. They?re cynically using the pandemic by spreading fear about 
blackouts in New York?a claim that is simply not true.

                  It?s time to support New Yorkers in their great victory 
against nuclear power. Sign this petition supporting the closure of Indian 
Point nuclear plant and the transition to 100% renewable energy in New York.

                  There?s nothing that advocates of nuclear energy can do at 
this point to prevent the Indian Point shutdown. But they?re using the 
shutdown, and others like it, to spread fear about the consequences of 
phasing out nuclear power across the country. They?re even using the threat 
of shut-down ventilators as a way to tap into our anxiety during the 
COVID-19 pandemic.

                  We need to meet their cynicism with a renewed commitment 
to phase out nuclear energy across the country?and that starts in New York. 
Sign this petition supporting the closure of Indian Point nuclear plant and 
the transition to 100% renewable energy in New York.

                  After you sign the petition, you?ll be invited to an 
online forum (via Zoom) about the closure of Indian Point. The forum will be 
held on Wednesday, May 6 at 4PM ET. We hope you?ll decide to sign up for 
that, too!

                  As usual, we thank you for all you do and hope you?re 
healthy and safe.

How Cities Are Balancing COVID-19 Response and Recovery




                              As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we have 
shifted the focus of the C40 Newsletter to highlight global cities 
responding to the virus and planning an equitable and sustainable recovery 
for our people, our planet, and our economies.



                              MAYORS IN ACTION


                              On April 29, the 11 C40 mayors who make up our 
newly launched Global Mayors COVID-19 Recovery Task Force convened for the 
first time. Ahead of the meeting, Giuseppe Sala, Mayor of Milan and chair of 
the Task Force, emphasized the importance of the diverse group of mayors and 
what recovery must entail:

                              ?I am honoured to chair such an outstanding 
group of mayors in our quest for the best recovery strategy for cities after 
the COVID-19 pandemic. We know we do not want to take any steps back from 
our commitment on creating more sustainable, more equitable and healthier 
cities. We know we do not want to leave any fellow citizen behind. Our 
cities face an unprecedented challenge now and we are motivated to draw from 
our collective experience to provide support and guidance to mayors around 
the world. We must be ambitious and focused as well as creative. I thank 
fellow mayors for their trust and collaboration.?

                              UPDATES FROM THE C40 KNOWLEDGE HUB

                              The C40 Knowledge Hub is being regularly 
updated with resources and articles for cities seeking to better understand 
and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The expanding library includes policy 
briefs, profiles of city solutions, commentary from mayors and city 
decision-makers, and more.




                              Some cities where the virus has been under

Earth School, Ocean challenge, COVID-19 updates and more









                        April 2020

                        In case you missed it: environmental updates









                        When it comes to the COVID-19 crisis, the United 
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is supporting global efforts to protect 
biodiversity, to put an end to the illegal trade in wildlife, to safeguard 
the handling of chemicals and waste and to promote economic recovery plans 
that take nature and the climate emergency into account. Read on for recent 
online highlights from UNEP.







                        STATEMENT | CHEMICALS AND WASTE
                        UNEP Statement on COVID-19


                        UNEP stands in solidarity with the billions of

                        "Earth School" launches to keep students connected 
to nature in the time of COVID-19


                        UNEP and TED-Ed launch Earth School, a platform with 
free, high-quality and creative lessons that take students on a 30-day 
?Adventure? through the natural world.

                        A message from nature: coronavirus


                        To help prevent further outbreaks of zoonotic 
viruses like COVID-19, illegal wildlife trade and destruction of habitats 
must stop. We cannot go back to business as usual. We will need to rebuild 
by working with nature, not against it.







                        VIDEO | ECOSYSTEMS AND BIODIVERSITY
                        How nature can protect us from pandemics

                        In a global conversation launched by the UN75 
initiative, people from all over the world spoke about the importance of 
climate change and the environment, with protection of the environment as 
one of the top three priorities.







                        STORY | CLIMATE CHANGE
                        COVID-19 does not mean climate action is on hold

                        A groundbreaking COVID-19 recovery plan is on the 
table -- one that would slam the brakes on climate chaos.

                        Corporate lobbyists are trying to kill it. We need 
to prove to world leaders that the people back this plan.

                        Will you chip in $1 to show world leaders that we 
want a sustainable recovery?

                        Donate $1 now


            Right now, world leaders are deciding how to rescue our 
crumbling economy.

            A group of leading scientists and economists have proposed a 
historic package that wouldn?t just help us recover from the pandemic -- it 
would save our planet from climate catastrophe.

            Corporations like Bayer-Monsanto and PepsiCo are terrified of 
this plan. Their entire business model relies on trashing our rainforests, 
oceans or insects. Their lobbyists are working round the clock to persuade 
finance ministers to back business as usual.

            You can drown out those lobbyists now -- by proving that the 
people want this green rescue plan.

            Your $1 donation will fund strategic polls in key countries to 
show just how much of the world supports this initiative. We have to move 
fast -- world leaders are already debating the plan as we speak, and right 
now corporations are louder than you.

            Will you chip in $1 to get urgent polls out this week?

            Vladimir, we?ve been through a lot together. We?ve fought to 
save our rainforests, get poisonous pesticides out of our fields, and 
protect our beautiful oceans.

            And we?re not alone. Billions of people are on our side.

            But corporate lobbyists are loaded with cash and cozy with world 
leaders. They make it seem like there's more of them than there are caring 
people like you.

            Polls will show that we have the numbers behind this 
groundbreaking green recovery. Most of us want to protect animals and leave 
a livable planet for our grandchildren. And right now, with all eyes on 
governments, world leaders are feeling the heat.

            Will you chip in $1 today to bring the pressure of millions more 
people to our fight for a green recovery?

            Yes, I?ll chip in $1 to back a green recovery plan for the 
planet.


            Thanks for all that you do,
            Anna and the team at SumOfUs

                        As the world scrambles to catch up with building 
digital capacity in our new virtual reality, World BEYOND War is and has 
always been ready to leverage the digital world to effectively create 
sustainable and just change.

                        As part of our work to abolish war, our educational 
programs have long included online materials, courses, free webinars, and 
podcasts featuring anti-war activists from around the world. We've expanded 
that work, speaking to more high school and college classrooms via Zoom, and 
even moving this year's upcoming annual conference online.

                        At a rapid rate World BEYOND War is realizing its 
vision of becoming a global movement made up of dedicated, active members 
from many of the 175 countries in which people have signed our Declaration 
of Peace.

                        People often imagine that World BEYOND War has large 
offices full of staff people. In reality, we have five very part-time people 
working from home and thousands of hard-working volunteers. If you're not 
one of our volunteers and have some free time at the moment, please reply to 
this email and we'll get you engaged.

                        Giving Tuesday is coming up on May 5! We need to 
hire more organizers and translators. We need to cover our current expenses. 
We need your financial support.

                        A $15 USD donation covers our service provider costs 
to host a free educational webinar.

                        A $25 donation covers a month?s cost of hosting our 
website. Our website is in itself an educational and organizing tool with 
extensive multimedia resources for building a movement to abolish war.

                        A $50 donation covers the costs of a WBW chapter 
promo pack. Currently, World BEYOND War coordinates 16 chapters in 7 
countries with several more in the launch phase. We also maintain 
partnerships with 82 affiliates around the world. Our chapters work 
aggressively within their respective legislative structures to redirect 
resources toward programs that promote social and economic justice.

                        A $75 donation can put 10 copies of our book A 
Global Security System: An Alternative to War (AGSS) into classrooms. AGSS 
is a blueprint for abolishing war and replacing it with a sustainable 
security system. It has already proven to be a useful tool in classrooms 
across the world.

                        ?What a treasure. It is so well written and 
conceptualized. The beautiful text and design immediately captured the 
attention and imagination of my 90 graduate and undergraduate students. 
Visually and substantively, the clarity of the book appeals to young people 
in a way textbooks have not.? ?Barbara Wien, American University

                        A $100 donation can translate and publish the 
summary version of AGSS in another language. It's already in eight!




                        Here's what a teacher just said after inviting a 
World BEYOND War speaker to teach her class for a day via Zoom call:

                        ?I moved from feeling hesitant to invite a World 
BEYOND War speaker into my classroom into an enthusiastic supporter of 
inviting World BEYOND War every year into my class. As is the case for most 
of us teachers, my students are incredibly patriotic and have a narrow view 
of history that teaches that war is necessary and good. I was not sure if my 
students would turn their ears off if someone suggested that all of America?s 
wars were not glorious, but the opposite happened. Mr. Swanson?s rational 
and well supported approach opened minds. Students asked great questions and 
a lively discussion ensued. In the end, students could see why war was 
irrational and even more importantly, their minds were opened to imagine 
different solutions to real problems. ? ?Katherine Murphy, Teacher of Ethics 
and Social Justice, Gonzaga High School, Washington, D.C.

                        We do so much with so little because we rely heavily 
on dedicated and talented volunteers for almost everything we do. This model 
means that your contribution goes very far!

                        A larger donation is much appreciated, but 
especially appreciated is becoming a recurring donor. For $15 USD a 
month?less than 50 cents a day?you can contribute to building an on-going 
sustained movement to abolish war. Remember to choose a book or shirt as a 
premium when you become a recurring donor!

                        Thanks for all you do!

Message-ID: <8ABFDE8D88F84CFCBD44B66BC2450B4F@evol.sp.ru>



In March, President Trump promised "anyone who wants a test can get a test." 
And earlier this week, he re-upped his promise, announcing that his 
administration would prioritize COVID-19 testing for more Americans.

Expanding testing is the right thing to do, but it is likely too little, too 
late. Experts suggest that we would need to test 20 million Americans per 
day by mid-summer to fully reopen the economy. It has been 101 days since 
the first confirmed COVID-19 case test in the United States. To date, we?ve 
tested 5.5 million -- total.

The only way to truly rid of this pandemic is to test early, test often, 
test broadly, and test repeatedly. When we look back on our response to this 
crisis, our failure to test the population effectively will likely be our 
biggest mistake.

Where are the tests? We need them now.

Sign the petition that we need wide-spread rapid testing now.

Let's get to work,

            We are living through a global pandemic that is killing tens of 
thousands of people. But many of the world?s corporations are using this 
crisis to grab bailouts, roll back regulations, and pad their profits.

            We are mobilizing to make sure our shared humanity is at the 
center of our communities, our economies, and our health care system.

            Last week, SumOfUs members sent a mobile billboard to circle 
Jeff Bezos?s house, ring-fencing him with the demands of Amazon customers 
and employees for sick pay to keep us all safe from massive coronavirus 
spread.



            And that?s just one tactic for one campaign -- check out all we?ve 
achieved together in only the past six weeks!

            Connecting across borders to save lives

            We are offering support to the most vulnerable. More than 
200,000 people have come together in the only global mutual-aid portal in 
the world, offering direct support to the most vulnerable. From offers to 
run errands or send direct financial support, requests for a chess partner, 
or a French teacher for a small collective school, The SumOfUs Covid Support 
Network has brought people together.

            Tom wrote in to tell us, ?Someone helped me with $20. To me, it 
was the greatest thing ever. I still tear up in my eyes when I think of it. 
This person doesn't know me and will probably never meet me, but they helped 
me regardless. The kindness of those who can help others in this crisis is 
amazing."

            Kate sent me an email saying, "I was feeling incredibly useless 
with everything going on in the world. I wanted to help those in need, but 
couldn't figure out how to do it while maintaining a safe distance. I used 
SumOfUs' online tool to connect with a woman who faced eviction because she 
was struggling to pay her rent after losing work because of coronavirus, and 
put her in contact with a lawyer who was able to help. It felt like we were 
making a small difference in this chaos.?

            And there are thousands more stories like this!

            Protecting essential workers while they help us survive

            More than 100,000 SumOfUs members are demanding comprehensive 
paid sick leave for all workers globally, pressuring companies to do right 
by their employees and customers, and give comprehensive sick pay to drivers 
and other workers. Together, we launched a beautiful viral video calling for 
companies to provide support to their workers through the poem of CJ Suitt, 
a ride-share driver struggling to stay safe and keep food on the table ? and 
it?s already passed a million views!



            And we just ran a hard-hitting ad targeting Lyft in the San 
Francisco Chronicle, a series of ads calling on Lyft to protect their 
workers that got a quick response email from the CEO of the whole company.




            Ensuring free and available testing and treatment for all

            Almost 200,000 SumOfUs members are calling on governments and 
pharmaceutical companies to ensure free coronavirus testing and treatment 
for everyone who needs it. Over 13,000 members wrote personal emails and 
messages to the CEO of Gilead?the pharmaceutical corporation responsible for 
an early promising treatment?and he responded announcing that the treatment 
would be offered affordably! It?s a huge win for our community and we?re 
using the momentum to ramp up the pressure on Gilead and other companies to 
commit to an affordable price and wide distribution.




            Blocking Big Oil?s Bailout

            Right now, governments everywhere are debating how to keep 
economies going through the crisis. And when it was announced that Canada 
was thinking of giving 15 billion dollars to the oil and gas industry, 
thousands of us mobilized to make sure any bailout helped people and the 
planet, not a dying dirty industry. With partners, we delivered a massive 
national call to MPs. And then we launched hard-hitting ads in the premier 
political newspaper. We even flew a massive banner over the Prime Minister?s 
daily press conference calling for an end to any oil bailouts.

            And we won! The final package was just under $3 billion and 
supported workers and the environment, not oil executive bonuses.



            It?s the first of many campaigns to reimagine our economies with 
a focus on people and the planet ? including major efforts in France, the 
United States, the UK, and the European Parliament.

            Also?

            We have mobilized tens of thousands to demand supermarkets open 
early for elderly and vulnerable shoppers, challenged UK private hospitals 
to offer free beds to the NHS, pushed for a living wage for frontline 
workers, and garnered unprecedented support for a shareholder resolution 
calling on major Canadian bank, TD to put climate sustainability at the 
center of its business strategy.

            These are the bedtime stories I will tell my young daughter when 
she asks me what it was like during the virus crisis ? and I know that 
actions like these will be an inspiration for generations to come. Thank you 
for all you do. And if you have a little extra to power this amazing work, 
please make a small donation here.


            With hope and strength,

Subject: *[Enwl-eng] Baltic Sea militarisation - RAND study arms control
Message-ID: <1424F54F93EE475FA5CDE22FAB732589@evol.sp.ru>



Dear peace friends around the Baltic Sea!


Below extremely useful and important information from
Dr. Horst Leps - Elersweg 17 - 22395 Hamburg - 040/60450776

email: horstleps (at) gmx.de




Characteristic of the current military and security situation in the Baltic 
Sea, is not only the fact that the opposing parties (east and west) hardly 
speak with each other anymore, but that there are also no initiatives in 
this direction.


The German Foreign Office in Berlin has supported the American RAND 
Corporation in a study "A New Approach to Conventional Arms Control in 
Europe" which has now been presented (see links below).


https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR4346.html
https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RR4300/RR4346/RAND_RR4346.pdf


The study starts by outlining mutual threat perceptions. For this, 
interviews were made with experts from
NATO and texts by Russian politicians and military as well as political 
scientists were analyzed. A comparison of the perceptions were made and 
analyzed for their military implications. In order to concretize the 
concerns,
the RAND Corporation authors present conflict scenarios: How could a war in 
the Kaliningrad/Suwalki region start?
Then arms control experts from NATO as well as from Russia are asked what 
measures could be taken to prevent military confrontations or to slow them 
down.
The document contains a 10 page long, extensive list of measures which for 
example, could reduce dangers that arise from misunderstandings.
The list includes restricting military activities in strategically sensitive 
locations, the limitation of the number of military exercises, the 
prohibition of strategically important weapon systems in certain locations, 
limits for which capabilities can be used in exercises in strategically 
sensitive locations, notification mechanisms for enhanced readiness of 
forces,
nodes for crisis communications and much more.
(Measures for arms control pages 58 -68)


This study must be made known in all countries around the Baltic Sea in 
order to create public pressure that forces the  governments to implement a 
policy of relaxation, arms control and maybe even disarmament. It is 
important not only to focus on the individual measures proposed, but to 
create awareness that - as the list of measures shows - military relaxation 
is basically possible in the Baltic Sea area, if the governments are willing 
to work for it.


Dr. Horst Leps
___________________________


On behalf of the Baltic Sea Call initiators I hope that you will send this 
RAND Corporation study to your government and your members of parliament 
with your own greetings and wishes. Let us remind them that peace and 
disarmament is possible!

Subject: *[Enwl-eng] Bye bye, bees
Message-ID: <EE1C00B4FFF94DBD821ED55D8DB93A71@lewpostnew>




          
                        Banned bee-killing pesticides are still being sprayed all over Europe, thanks to an ?emergency? loophole that the Covid-19 pandemic will only widen.

                        Our bees can?t hold out much longer. Can you push governments into action?

                         Sign the petition 
                       
                 
            All the progress you and I have made to keep bees safe from toxic pesticides? what if it just disappeared?

            Countries including Belgium, Spain and Romania want to pretend our Europe-wide ban on bee-killing neonicotinoids never happened. Using an "emergency" loophole, they're allowing tonnes of the banned chemicals to be sprayed on crops that could end up on our plates. 

            Even in the midst of the pandemic, Belgium granted a new re-authorisation for one of the toxic neonics, thinking we'd be too distracted to notice! If we don't act to stop this, our ban will be useless -- and the bees will suffer the consequences.

            We've already called on the EU to stop countries from breaking the ban. Now it's time to double down by putting pressure on individual governments to protect the bees -- before it's too late.

            Tell Romania, Lithuania, Spain, Belgium, Poland and Finland to stop using bee-killing neonicotinoids!

            It's not small, struggling farmers who want to keep Europe's fields full of banned pesticides -- it's megacorporations like Bayer and Syngenta, who're behind many of the so-called "emergency" requests for neonic exemptions.

            They claim that crops like corn and sugar beets can't be grown without neonics -- but Germany, France and Sweden have all rejected applications to re-authorise the bee-killing pesticides. If they can grow crops without killing bees, other countries can too! 

            Our food system doesn't need toxic pesticides to thrive -- but it does need bees. Will you act now to save them?

            Tell Romania, Lithuania, Spain, Belgium, Poland and Finland to stop using neonics.

            Unfortunately, pesticide bans aren?t always enough to protect our crucial pollinators. Bayer, Syngenta and co. have millions to spend on court cases, government lobbying, anything to keep churning out litre after litre of their bee-harming chemicals.

            But with our combined people power, we?ve got a real chance of stopping them. Over 150,000 of us showed the EU we?d had enough of fake ?emergency? exemptions to our bee-saving neonicotinoid ban. Hundreds more SumOfUs members chipped in so that the Bee Defender Alliance, a group of independent scientists and beekeepers, could take on Bayer in court to fight and defeat the pesticide giant?s latest legal challenge to the ban.

            We can?t give up until our bees are safe. So please, will you help get all European governments to uphold this important pesticide ban?

            Tell Romania, Lithuania, Spain, Belgium, Poland and Finland to stop using bee-killing neonicotinoids!


             Sign the petition 
            Thanks for all that you do,

Hi,

The COVID-19 pandemic demands swift and unprecedented action from national governments and the international community.

Choices being made right now will shape our society for decades to come.

As decision-makers take steps to ensure immediate relief and long-term recovery, it is imperative that they consider the interrelated crises of wealth inequality, racism, and ecological decline ? notably the climate crisis, which were in place long before COVID-19, and now risk being intensified. 

This is a time to be decisive in saving lives, and bold in charting a path to a genuinely healthier and more equitable future through a Just Recovery.

Join us this Thursday to discuss the #JustRecovery principles and how we can contribute to making them happen in our countries and communities.

RSVP now ?


On Thursday?s call, we?ll be joined by representatives from some of the hundreds of organisations who have signed the Just Recovery Principles ? including Climate Strike?s Luisa Neubauer, International Trade Union Confederation?s (ITUC) Bert De Wel, and 350?s May Boeve ? to share why movements are coming together behind these principles.

We?ll also be sharing ideas and training and art resources for actions to stop public money from propping up the fossil fuel industry, calling instead for public money to be spent on a just, green recovery.

Our goal is that when the pandemic is over, we don?t get back to the business as usual but trigger the system change we?ve been calling for. Join us!

In solidarity,

Nico

Hi,

I can?t seem to get these lyrics out of my head. ?Is it getting better, or do you feel the same??. It?s from the U2 song ?One? and I used to sing it out loud in my room in the West of Ireland back in the early 90s, hairbrush microphone in hand.

In these last weeks, it has come back to me as friends and family ask these questions: for all the darkness of the coronavirus, is this a chance for things to get better? Or when the lockdowns end, will anything change?

The reality is that this crisis will change everything. And that change could go either way. We could spend the next decade responding to this pandemic and all that comes with it, putting plasters on problems. Or we could take this mega opportunity to change the way our societies work for the better.

It feels as though in this specific moment in history we are being called upon to take action towards deeper change. This email is about sharing with you what we intend to do to drive change in the months and years to come. All I ask is for you to read it and think about it.

In one way or another you and I, and almost 1 million other Europeans across 30 countries have found common cause in the WeMove Europe community, where we know the only way to make the change that Europe needs is through people power. One WeMove Europe member said it best; ?I support your campaigns because you give me the chance to be part of a community that is bigger than just me and I know that community can change things?.

As the stakes for our future and for our planet rise, we know our work is more important than ever. That?s why over 2019, through conversations with our community, partners and other experts, we figured out a strategy so that every action we take is about going to the root of the problems we face and tackling those. Those conversations resulted in our new strategy ?People Power to Transform Europe?. You can read more about it here. But three of my favourite takeaways;

  1.. We got a lot of it right from when we started in 2015 --- that people hold the power to drive change, and that the Europe we live in today needs real, deep-rooted transformation so that its politics reflect the needs of people and planet rather than corporations and profit is still at the heart of what we do, 
  2.. We cannot do it alone as a community, we need to work with others, as we have been, to strengthen our position. That means brilliant partner organisations, movements, and experts who have skills that complement ours, 
  3.. And most importantly, which is a great source of hope -- we are not trying to reinvent the wheel on change. The alternatives are there, scattered across the continent. We don't need to live in a system that prioritises economic growth over well-being, and new approaches are already happening. 
This strategy sets us on a path to start shaping deeper change, to transform how decision-making works in Europe now and after the crisis.

For example, the Universal Basic Income used to be considered a half-crazy idea, but the crisis changed all of that and opened up the space for big ideas. We took this campaign on precisely because it reacts to the crisis and could bring the deeper change we speak about in our strategy. How? 

In the short-term, the income could help people to survive the danger of being left completely destitute when they lose their jobs. And in the long term, it could help us tackle the bigger issue of inequality by redistributing more wealth and allowing people to reach their full potential.

A basic income could help people avoid being kicked out of their homes when they lose their jobs. But it also could just buy time for people to learn a new skill, to do creative work, to volunteer, to get involved in activism. This could trigger so many other positive outcomes and much deeper change. UBI is a great big experiment to rethink our economic system. That system is unfairly designed and has led to a situation of spiralling inequality, where the richest 1% have more wealth than the rest of the world. [1] 

As of last week, 170,000 of us signed this petition. It is being discussed all over: in Spain, in France, in the UK and US. Now even the Pope is calling for Basic Income. It's not mad anymore.

The teenage version of myself that sang that U2 song in the 90s was full of doubts. But I don?t feel the same. This crisis is opening up opportunities we could only dream about last year.

And together we can make sure that the new normal is different. Join us, read the strategy and share it far and wide!

Laura

 right now
Message-ID: <E18C81E496154857AF904A8BDB7A4905@lewpostnew>



On March 23rd, 2010, 50 states across the country had an unmatched opportunity: Expand Medicaid ? almost entirely with federal funding ? and help millions of Americans get the healthcare coverage they deserve. 

But ten years and one devastating pandemic later, over 2 million Americans are without health insurance because 14 states have refused to join the rest of the country in this unprecedented opportunity that has changed lives.

In the middle of the COVID-19 crisis, it is more important than ever that every single person has affordable, quality healthcare coverage. 

Sign the petition to demand that Medicaid be expanded nationwide

No one should have to choose between receiving health care or putting dinner on the table. We need your help to urge the 14 states - including Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin - that have not yet expanded Medicaid to do so immediately.

Let's get to work,

                  Dear friends, 

                  In days, Europe will put forward its HUGE pandemic recovery plan -- but big polluters and coal-loving governments are trying to ensure the plan locks the world into dirty energy for years to come! 

                  The plan will decide how trillions of dollars are spent, and if it ignores climate change we?ll be on track for a climate catastrophe that makes the Corona-crisis look like a picnic. But if Europe embraces a bold green recovery, it will determine how other major economies respond to this crucible moment 

                  Right now our future is in the hands of three powerful women: EU President Ursula von der Leyen, Europe?s top banker Christine Lagarde and Europe's most powerful national leader, German Chancellor Angela Merkel. 

                  If they face down the lobbyists, we?ll have taken a big step towards a greener future. But right now they're under massive pressure and they need our support -- so let?s give it to them by signing this giant open letter from citizens everywhere calling for a green pandemic recovery plan! 

                        add my name  

                        To President von der Leyen, Chancellor Merkel, Christine Lagarde and all EU leaders:

                        We believe that Europe can lead us out of the dark days of this global pandemic towards the future we dream of. 

                        We are strong enough to fight back and recover from this virus. We are generous enough to ensure no one is left behind. And we are wise enough to ensure this recovery does not lay the foundations for even worse climate crises in the future. 

                        We know you are under pressure from polluters. You must stand strong. The only real future is a green future. And the only real recovery is a green recovery. Europe can lead the world towards both. 

                        Let's make the Green Deal our Recovery Deal and build it on strong green financial solutions with a climate bank and a climate budget at its heart. Move our money away from fossil fuels, tax profit instead of people, and unleash a new generation of green jobs in a clean economy. 

                              Add my name  
                       


                  With hope for the future,

But it also could just buy time for people to learn a new skill, to do creative work, to volunteer, to get involved in activism. This could trigger so many other positive outcomes and much deeper change. UBI is a great big experiment to rethink our economic system. That system is unfairly designed and has led to a situation of spiralling inequality, where the richest 1% have more wealth than the rest of the world. [1] 

As of last week, 170,000 of us signed this petition. It is being discussed all over: in Spain, in France, in the UK and US. Now even the Pope is calling for Basic Income. It's not mad anymore.

The teenage version of myself that sang that U2 song in the 90s was full of doubts. But I don?t feel the same. This crisis is opening up opportunities we could only dream about last year.

And together we can make sure that the new normal is different. Join us, read the strategy and share it far and wide!

How we build back better
     

      Art by Ricardo Levins Morales 

      Dear friends,

      With coronavirus restrictions starting to loosen in some parts of the world, many are buoyed with hope that they might soon be able to get outside or reunite with friends and family.

      But many of us are still hurting. Cases of the virus are still rising every day, and millions have no jobs to return to. The climate crisis and its impacts are still hitting hard ? with reports that despite the slowdown in economic activity, 2020 still might be on track to be the warmest year on record.

      These twin crises of COVID-19 and climate breakdown show us one thing: we have to use this moment to transform. We?re living through a societal shift unlike any other in recent memory ? and our efforts to rebuild must continue to be bold, imaginative, and restorative.

      We want you to be part of this new chapter ? and help ensure that responses to this crisis at every level support people, not polluters. We hope you?ll join our Just Recovery online discussion on May 7 as a first step. Sign up now:



            RSVP for the Webinar 



      In Case You Missed It 

      Build back better: Over 500 organisations worldwide have now signed on to the 5 Principles for a Just Recovery from COVID-19. New research from top economists shows that mass green public investment would be the most cost-effective way to revive ailing economies and ensure long-term stability. And the International Energy Agency foresees a long-term fallout in demand for fossil fuels, with renewables holding on. It?s a key time to push for Just Recovery policies and global solidarity, as governments shift from rescue to recovery mode.

      ?Normal? is a crisis: Climate impacts across the world this week are adding to challenges for those already dealing with COVID-19. Millions of acres are burning in Siberia, and thousands have been displaced as floods hammer Kenya and Somalia. Evacuation orders were just lifted for Fort McMurray, Canada ? a key tar sands development area ? where thousands of Canadian workers and their families are recovering from floods from fast winter thaw. And as the world?s seas simmer at record-high temperatures, hurricane and wildfire risks are heightening.

      Wins against coal: Despite lockdowns, campaigners are still celebrating wins in their fights to end coal. In Turkey, Alpu plant was cancelled after two years of pushback from the people of Eski?ehir and their local government. This just after a court rejected the Environmental Impact Assessment of another 200 MW coal plant slotted for valuable agricultural land in the Ida Mountains, where residents have resisted for 5 years.

      Three major Japanese banks also announced new steps forward. Mizhuo Financial Group will stop new investments and loans for coal power, and Sumitomo also revised its policy. Japan?s Bank for International Cooperation, a powerhouse of coal development in Asia, will stop accepting loan applications for coal generation. Read more 








      Worker?s Day: Last Friday was International Workers? Day ? a chance to stand in solidarity with essential workers who care for, feed and support us through this crisis. Thousands took part in actions and shared messages, from an online rally backing a workers? strike at large U.S. companies, to audible cacerolazos where people banged pots and pans to show appreciation.

      Bull?s eye: Pressure is mounting on central banks to put workers and families first in their coronavirus stimulus measures. In Europe, thousands are writing to the President of the European Central Bank (ECB) to demand she exclude the fossil fuel industry and its investors from economic recovery packages. And in the wake of new bailout rules in the U.S. that could grant oil and gas companies access to stimulus money, a new campaign is taking aim at the Federal Reserve and its Chair. 

      Similar calls are ringing out across Africa to ensure aid coming in to address a looming recession gets to people in serious need. 

      One to Watch 


      All workers have a right to income security and safety ? especially those taking on big risks in these hard times to keep us all safe.  Watch as people from the Philippines share their gratitude to mark International Worker's Day.

                        Shy, cute, covered in scales -- the adorable pangolin seems like an imaginary animal. But they?re real, and they?re the most trafficked animal on the planet! Now a new report says Facebook is making it worse, letting traffickers sell pangolin parts right on their platform! This disturbing trade has to stop:

            Pangolins look almost like they sprung from the imagination of a small child; they?re covered in scales and roll up in a little ball when they?re scared.

            But they?re real ? and they?re the most trafficked animal on the planet! Up to 2.7 million of these little guys are murdered every year by poachers hoping to profit off butchering them and selling their parts to traditional medicine shops.

            Now a new report says Facebook is making it worse, letting traffickers sell pangolin parts right on their platform!

            This madness has to stop. Facebook is already signed on to an international coalition to stop this kind of trafficking, so all they have to do is enforce their own rules. Let?s up the stakes with a massive international campaign:

            Click to tell Facebook to shut down its disturbing pangolin trade

            It?s bad enough that this extinction-threatened animal is slaughtered in the millions for its meat and parts. Even worse, pangolins are considered to have a possible connections to the Covid-19 outbreak and may host other coronaviruses that could pose a threat to humans!

            So this isn?t *just* a trafficking threat, it?s a global health threat too.

            Facebook?s community standards ban the sale of endangered species, but report investigators didn?t have to look very hard. They just searched translations of the word ?pangolin? in different languages and found listing after listing!

            The ongoing sale of pangolins on Facebook even with this heightened attention on the animal is just another example of Facebook?s inability ? or unwillingness ? to police its platform and block illegal activity. Let?s tell them we?ve had enough:

            Click to tell Facebook to stop helping wildlife traffickers

            Facebook made almost $20 billion last year ? they can afford to ensure that their own health and safety policies are strictly followed. Yet over and over again we see them trying to get away with lax enforcement. Good thing our community is so good at holding corporate giants to account.

Vladimir, 

Imagine if our country were better prepared for the next pandemic. Imagine if we didn?t have to wait weeks for a gridlocked Congress to decide how to provide economic relief to millions of hurting Americans, with concessions made to appease political differences. Imagine if stimulus checks were not delayed by a patchwork bureaucracy and a President insistent on putting his stamp on them?

In the COVID-19 crisis, our government has struggled mightily to provide immediate support to Americans who need it. Stimulus payments to American families have been held up for weeks. Small business loan funding has trickled through a bottleneck, with hundreds of millions going to Trump?s friends and large companies. 

So we?re better prepared for the next pandemic, Future Majority has proposed the U.S. should continuously invest in a permanent and flexible economic relief fund that is nimble enough to send direct cash payments to families and distribute loans to American businesses immediately. 



In times of crisis, a matter of weeks can mean the difference between desperation and certainty. Americans can?t afford to wait. It?s time we rethink how our government operates so it can meaningfully improve lives in a crisis.

We will continue to propose bold actions that will enable Americans to have the freedom and a fair shot to build their own future. If you can, will you chip in to support our policy research for more ideas to make our government work for everyone?

In solidarity,

Future Majority Advocacy Team

 Taxonomy
Message-ID: <7C25591604474E86BB8D1B71F046C429@lewpostnew>


  


Dear Henry:


The RwB Coalition members want to know what specific legal or technical standards referred to  in HYDROPOWER section by " Outside Europe, the EU?s stringent standards should be followed."??? 

The original "ten points" contained important meaningful requirements "Outside the EU, hydropower should never impact freshwater ecosystems of high ecological importance nor take place in protected areas. It should only be developed as a last resort when alternatives such as solar, wind or demand-side energy efficiency are unavailable. This should be based on comprehensive impact assessments and cost-benefits analyses which give nature, water conservation and human rights the same weight as economic, climate and energy issues."


The rest of this paragraph is related only to EU and implies that  other regions of the world will suffer less from further development of hydropower than the EU river basins. Without clarification what specifically we want from hydro in the rest of the world (which is reduced\omitted now)  this statement could be challenged from the standpoint of social justice, indigenous peoples rights and especially biodiversity conservation. 



Cheers

  Dear All, 


  Following the note below, I write again from Brussels (in slightly less of a panic) to ask you to support an updated 'Ten Points' text on the EU Taxonomy of Sustainable Activities. 


  We have asked for your help many times already but we think it has never been more important that you continue your support in what is a key battle for the European sustainable agenda. As they prepare for the EU's announcement of a sustainable recovery, the EIB, the ECB, and many programmes such as InvestEU will soon use the Taxonomy to decide which activities to support - this alone will move hundreds of billions of euros. The taxonomy may also be a key instrument for the future EU Recovery Fund, which could amount to 1.5 trillion euros. 

   
  We need these funds to be spent sustainably, so we are sending the EU Commission a strong signal. We aim to collect 100 signatures by 12h00 on the 11th of May: you can already submit yours through this Google Form. Please also forward this to your contacts. Should the Google Form not work for you, please contact me with your organisation's name, your full name, and your position/job title. 


  For more details, see below.


  ---000---


  State of Play


  Last month, the EU's Technical Expert Group (TEG) published their recommendations on the EU Taxonomy of Sustainable Activities. Crucially, nuclear is out, fossil fuels are out, and waste incineration is also out, and we want to keep it that way. 

  The report is relatively science-based and it integrates quite a number of issues that you helped us raise by signing last September's Ten Points Statement. 
  For a more detailed reaction to the report, please see here.





  What happens now?

  As the public consultation is over, the Commission is now turning the technical recommendations into law. That means that the only avenue left to put pressure on the Commission is the media and informal contacts. Therefore, we propose sending the Ten Points document informally to key EU decision-makers and journalists so they know we are watching this process carefully. 


  As we saw during last week's public consultation, lobbyists for nuclear, gas, incineration, bioenergy and others are still trying to attack the taxonomy in any way they can. 
  We NGOs must respond to ask the Commission only to strengthen, not weaken, the taxonomy. We need to make sure the Commission understands that nuclear, gas, incineration, and other such activities do not belong in any sustainable taxonomy. 





  What can I do?


  1. Please check the 'Ten Points' text to see whether you can support it. We kept many points from the first Ten Points text and we are trying to make this text short and simple - remember it is a petition rather than a detailed briefing! For any red lines, please contact me directly.


  2. To signal your support, use this Google Form. 


  If the Google Form does not work, reply to me directly stating your:
  Organisation, Signatory's Position

  Signatory Name and Surname


  3. Please circulate to your contacts! We achieved 60 signatures for the last letter. Now we aim for 100!


  ---000---


  As always, do not hesitate to write to me should you have any questions.


  Best wishes,


  Henry

    Dear all, 


    Following your support for our previous appeals for signatures on the EU Taxonomy, we are coming back to you with a further update and a slightly worrying warning.


    State of Play


    You may have seen that, last month, the EU's Technical Expert Group (TEG) published their recommendations on the EU Taxonomy of Sustainable Activities - see the 'Technical Annex' here.

    The report is relatively science-based and it integrated quite a number of issues that you helped us raise last September in the previous Ten Points Statement. Crucially, nuclear is out, fossil fuels are out, and waste incineration is also out. For more detail on our reaction to the report, see here.


    What happens now?


    We have put together another, updated, 'Ten Points' text, which we will soon ask you to sign, so we can forward it informally to key advocacy targets inside the Commission. 


    However, the urgent thing is the Commission's consultation on the TEG technical recommendations, which closes next Monday 27/04. It is the last chance for public input before the Commission turns the criteria into the definitive taxonomy law (known as a delegated act). The page to submit this input is here. 

    Now for the worrying bit. The nuclear and gas lobbies have already flooded this consultation page with answers, demanding that nuclear be re-included, asking for weaker thresholds on emissions, looking for more exemptions for biofuels... the usual!
    European environmental NGOs must respond. It is important that we send lots of replies: the Commission will not read these consultations in detail, but will instead simply look at which activities are most discussed and whether their criteria are broadly opposed or supported. We need to make sure the Commission understands that nuclear, gas, and incineration do not belong in the sustainable taxonomy. 


    What can I do?


    Attached, you will find a template response to the consultation. Its length is adapted to the consultation's strict 4000-character limit.  


    Could we ask you to
      a.. Slightly modify/adapt the responses so they do not appear completely identical - copy-pasting weakens individual responses). 
      b.. Go to the consultation response page - click here - you may have to register, but please do! 
      c.. Submit your answers!


    Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you need any clarification or if we can assist with this process - we are happy to help.


    Best wishes,


    Henry

These conspiracy theories are a matter of life and death. 

                 

             
                     

            YouTube is rewarding creators for spreading dangerous conspiracy theories about climate change!

                 Sviatoslav, 

                  Right now, many of us are focused on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. But while we are, there is an equally horrifying foe coming our way: climate change and the devestation it will bring. That's why it's so upsetting to learn that corporate giant YouTube is actively recommending climate change denial and conspiracy videos and making money off them! Please sign the petition to demand that YouTube demonetize these videos and remove them from the site's recommendation algorithm! 

                  Human-induced climate change is not up for debate ? the evidence is undeniable. UN scientists have made it clear that the time for action is now, purporting that we have only ten years to curb the world's emissions drastically, or we will reach the point of no return. 

                  And yet YouTube is giving a platform and free advertising to these outrageous videos that spew misinformation. The site is directly contributing to public confusion and fear that makes it harder to enact desperately needed changed. Urge them to demonetize climate change denial content, and stop recommending it to users. Sign the petition today. 

                  Thank you, 

                         Kelsey B.

                  P.S. These conspiracy theories are a danger to our planet and therefore our lives. Demand YouTube take some responsibility and stop promoting them.

      Volkswagen cheated us with tricked diesel cars, and now hopes to get a 
bailout - despite a record 17 billion euros in earnings last year! Send a 
message to our leaders and ask them to block this on Wednesday?s vote.

      Take action now!
Hi,

Volkswagen, the same corporation that cheated millions of customers in 
Europe by having their diesel cars illegally pass emission-quality tests, 
now wants taxpayers? money to help them through the coronavirus recession. 
But they refuse to withhold dividends to shareholders! That?s despite 2019 
being a record year for the corporation, with earnings of over 17 billion 
euros. [1]

On Wednesday the European Parliament will seek to influence the EU proposal 
to reconstruct our devastated economies. This is where we can call on 
Members of the European Parliament to push for dirty industries to be 
excluded from publicly funded bailouts.

Our 275,000 strong petition, calling for the upcoming recovery plan to care 
for people and the planet - and not for large polluting industries, is 
growing in strength by the day. We will deliver it before the debate on 
Wednesday and request for it to be officially mentioned during the debate. 
Some MEPs have already accepted - but we need more pressure for more MEPs to 
make our petition visible, and to have our demands taken on board.

            Send key MEPs an email

            If you have a Twitter account, Tweet to key MEPs


Research shows that there is a link between the emergence of new viruses and 
the environmental emergency. [2] We want to have clean jobs, but also to 
live free from epidemiological and weather disasters - more and more common 
because of pollution and the climate crisis.

The coronavirus crisis is a disaster - but the resulting European recovery 
plan is also an opportunity to tackle various crises all at once: the 
health, the economic, and the climate crises!

This plan will affect us all for years to come, so getting it right is 
crucial. Polluting corporations have lots of money and huge lobbying power - 
but together we are many. If we come together to tell decision makers what 
we want, we can make a difference. Taking action now is not just necessary 
but also timely, as the recovery plan is being fast-tracked and negotiated 
right now.

            Send key MEPs an email

            If you have a Twitter account, Tweet to key MEPs


Now it?s time to rise to the challenges of our time - and united we can.

David, Virginia (Madrid), and the entire WeMove Europe team

PS: If we can make a difference in the days ahead, the impact could be huge. 
That's why we are making big plans and joining forces with other 
organisations, to maximize our power. We have done this before and have won. 
Next week is the first stop on a journey towards a new economy for the 
people. Send a direct message to our leaders!

Subject: *[Enwl-eng] Kids are buried alive
Message-ID: <E1EAEFAA77D6402F909E73194D42B6CF@evol.sp.ru>

For iPhones
                        Apple?s buying metal from mines where kids are sent 
to die. 14 desperate families are now taking the tech giant to court.

                        This landmark case could spell the end for deadly 
mines -- and finally hold companies like Apple accountable.

                        Can you chip in $1 to help these families take on 
the biggest company in the world?




                        Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your 
card.

                        Donate $1 now



            Kids are buried alive -- suffocating in collapsed tunnels -- to 
mine precious metal for mobiles and laptops.

            Now devastated families from the Democratic Republic of Congo 
are taking Apple, Google, Microsoft, Dell and Tesla to court in the US.

            It won?t bring their children back, or allow those with injuries 
to walk again.

            But Vladimir, if you help fight this court case, it will help 
these grieving families -- and it will force huge tech companies to stop 
buying metal from death-trap mines.

            That?ll put those mines out of business -- and stop any more 
kids dying for phone batteries.

            Can you chip in $1 to the fund to put the tech giants on trial?


            Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card.

            Yes I can chip in $1 to stop kids dying in the dark.

            Just a kid, Raphael died alone, crushed by rocks. It?s hard to 
think of his tears and terror, buried in the dark.

            When Raphael?s family could no longer afford to send him to 
school, he did what most kids in his village do. Age 12, he went to work at 
the nearby cobalt mine for about $1 a day.

            In April 2018, he was crouched in a tiny tunnel digging for 
cobalt, when the roof collapsed. Sixty-two people died that day.

            But if we help their families win this legal case, it will force 
Apple, Google, Dell, Microsoft and Tesla to cut their ties with deadly 
mines -- helping send them out of business, so no more kids die in the dark.


            Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card.

            Yes I can chip in $1 to end deadly cobalt mines.

            Apple, Google, Dell, Microsoft and Tesla have hired some of the 
largest law firms in the country to fight the claims of the mining victims.

            The fourteen families from Democratic Republic of Congo are 
being helped by a Congolese professor, a human rights lawyer -- and you!

            They?ve filed the legal case. But there?s an urgent need for 
donations to pay for:

              a.. an investigator to chase down the secret supply chains.
              b.. experts to prove the companies didn?t have to sacrifice 
the health and lives of children, but could have established safe cobalt 
mines instead.
              c.. campaigning to keep up the pressure on tech corporations 
to stop buying metal from those mines.
            It won?t come cheap. But if enough of us chip in, we can help 
make sure the case is watertight and end deadly mines.

            We?ve helped communities around the world win legal battles 
against huge corporations before. Let?s win this for the family of Raphael 
and for kids in danger right now.


            Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card.

            Yes I can donate $1 to stop kids dying in mines.


            Thanks for all that you do,
            Vicky and the team at SumOfUs

Nuclear Information and Resource Service




                        Nuclear workers are on the frontlines during the 
pandemic.
                          Tell our leaders to protect nuclear workers







                  When we think about frontline or essential workers during 
the Covid-19 pandemic, we often think of doctors, nurses, grocery clerks, 
bus drivers, and others who perform critical services and can?t work from 
home.

                  But there are some essential workers that haven?t been 
mentioned a lot in the news: nuclear plant workers.

                  Nuclear plant employees already work under dangerous 
conditions during normal times. But under the shadow of the Covid-19 
pandemic, they face even more risk. Nuclear workers are being required to 
show up at their plants, exposing themselves not only to dangerous 
radiation, but also to potential virus carriers.

                  These workers need protection?but most nuclear plant 
owners and our leaders in Washington aren?t doing anything to protect them. 
Tell President Trump, Vice President Pence, and your members of Congress to 
protect nuclear workers during the pandemic.

                  Nuclear plant employees are often working without social 
distancing measures or even the personal protective equipment (PPE) 
necessary to keep them safe from the pandemic. Hundreds?if not thousands?of 
these workers across the country have already been infected with the virus.

                  Nuclear corporations are pressing forward with refueling 
reactors across the country. Workers who don?t take part in those operations 
will go unemployed?but because they?re contractors, they won?t even receive 
unemployment benefits.

                  Nuclear workers are the front line of nuclear safety, and 
they deserve protection. Tell President Trump, Vice President Pence, and 
your members of Congress to protect nuclear workers during the pandemic.

                  After you contact our leaders in Washington, please 
forward this email to anyone you know who wants to protect nuclear workers. 
We hope you?re staying healthy and safe.

Dear all,


Just a short note to inform you that we have decided to extend the deadline 
for signatures by an extra week, so that the document will be open for 
signatures until close of business on Thursday 20/05.


As noted, if you have not signed yet, please do take a look at the document. 
If you should know of other organisations that would be interested in 
signing, also please do not hesitate to forward the petition to them.


I'm available for any further clarifications.


Best wishes,


Henry

  Dear All,


  Following the note below, I write again from Brussels (in slightly less of 
a panic) to ask you to support an updated 'Ten Points' text on the EU 
Taxonomy of Sustainable Activities.


  We have asked for your help many times already but we think it has never 
been more important that you continue your support in what is a key battle 
for the European sustainable agenda. As they prepare for the EU's 
announcement of a sustainable recovery, the EIB, the ECB, and many 
programmes such as InvestEU will soon use the Taxonomy to decide which 
activities to support - this alone will move hundreds of billions of euros. 
The taxonomy may also be a key instrument for the future EU Recovery Fund, 
which could amount to 1.5 trillion euros.


  We need these funds to be spent sustainably, so we are sending the EU 
Commission a strong signal. We aim to collect 100 signatures by 12h00 on the 
11th of May: you can already submit yours through this Google Form. Please 
also forward this to your contacts. Should the Google Form not work for you, 
please contact me with your organisation's name, your full name, and your 
position/job title.


  For more details, see below.


  ---000---


  State of Play


  Last month, the EU's Technical Expert Group (TEG) published their 
recommendations on the EU Taxonomy of Sustainable Activities. Crucially, 
nuclear is out, fossil fuels are out, and waste incineration is also out, 
and we want to keep it that way.

  The report is relatively science-based and it integrates quite a number of 
issues that you helped us raise by signing last September's Ten Points 
Statement.
  For a more detailed reaction to the report, please see here.





  What happens now?

  As the public consultation is over, the Commission is now turning the 
technical recommendations into law. That means that the only avenue left to 
put pressure on the Commission is the media and informal contacts. 
Therefore, we propose sending the Ten Points document informally to key EU 
decision-makers and journalists so they know we are watching this process 
carefully.


  As we saw during last week's public consultation, lobbyists for nuclear, 
gas, incineration, bioenergy and others are still trying to attack the 
taxonomy in any way they can.
  We NGOs must respond to ask the Commission only to strengthen, not weaken, 
the taxonomy. We need to make sure the Commission understands that nuclear, 
gas, incineration, and other such activities do not belong in any 
sustainable taxonomy.





  What can I do?


  1. Please check the 'Ten Points' text to see whether you can support it.

    Dear all,


    Following your support for our previous appeals for signatures on the EU 
Taxonomy, we are coming back to you with a further update and a slightly 
worrying warning.


    State of Play


    You may have seen that, last month, the EU's Technical Expert Group 
(TEG) published their recommendations on the EU Taxonomy of Sustainable 
Activities - see the 'Technical Annex' here.

    The report is relatively science-based and it integrated quite a number 
of issues that you helped us raise last September in the previous Ten Points 
Statement. Crucially, nuclear is out, fossil fuels are out, and waste 
incineration is also out. For more detail on our reaction to the report, see 
here.


    What happens now?


    We have put together another, updated, 'Ten Points' text, which we will 
soon ask you to sign, so we can forward it informally to key advocacy 
targets inside the Commission.


    However, the urgent thing is the Commission's consultation on the TEG 
technical recommendations, which closes next Monday 27/04. It is the last 
chance for public input before the Commission turns the criteria into the 
definitive taxonomy law (known as a delegated act). The page to submit this 
input is here.

    Now for the worrying bit. The nuclear and gas lobbies have already 
flooded this consultation page with answers, demanding that nuclear be 
re-included, asking for weaker thresholds on emissions, looking for more 
exemptions for biofuels... the usual!
    European environmental NGOs must respond. It is important that we send 
lots of replies: the Commission will not read these consultations in detail, 
but will instead simply look at which activities are most discussed and 
whether their criteria are broadly opposed or supported. We need to make 
sure the Commission understands that nuclear, gas, and incineration do not 
belong in the sustainable taxonomy.


    What can I do?


    Attached, you will find a template response to the consultation. Its 
length is adapted to the consultation's strict 4000-character limit.


    Could we ask you to
      a.. Slightly modify/adapt the responses so they do not appear 
completely identical - copy-pasting weakens individual responses).
      b.. Go to the consultation response page - click here - you may have 
to register, but please do!
      c.. Submit your answers!


    Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you need any clarification or 
if we can assist with this process - we are happy to help.


    Best wishes,


    Henry

Message-ID: <BD07E3F903754FD8B81A3AC31E8B636D@evol.sp.ru>


                        Banned neonics are still being sprayed all over 
Europe.

                        We have 5 days to persuade Europe?s leaders to crack 
down on the use of bee-killing pesticides.

                        Can you chip in $1 to protect the bees?

                        DONATE $1 NOW


            Two years ago you won a ban on bee-killing pesticides across 
Europe. Yet some countries are still flooding their fields with these 
neonics -- using an "emergency" loophole in the pesticide law.

            We just found out that EU politicians are about to discuss this 
toxic loophole -- at a closed-door meeting in only 5 days. But economic 
fallout from Covid-19 means leaders are under huge pressure to let the 
pesticide industry keep cashing in on the bee massacre.

            Bayer and Co are breathing down ministers? backs -- but with 
your help we can drown them out.

            Your $1 donation will pay for targeted ads to reach key 
ministers and show them that the people back the bees, NOT Bayer. If 
everyone reading this email chips in a little we have a fighting shot at 
convincing ministers to close this toxic loophole -- but only if we move 
fast.

            Can you chip in $1 to save the bees from toxic pesticides?

            Since we banned neonics in 2018, more and more evidence has 
emerged of just how dangerous they are to bees. Even years after they're 
used, their residue in crop fields is enough to poison and kill as many as 
half the bees foraging there.

            But in Spain, Belgium, Romania, Lithuania, Poland and Finland, 
industrial farms -- often backed by Bayer and Co themselves -- are abusing 
the EU's "emergency" pesticide authorisation system to keep using neonics by 
the tonne. They claim they have no other choice, but we all know farmers 
don't need bee-killing pesticides to grow healthy crops.

            The EU already asked agriculture ministers to stop allowing 
these authorisations. But as recently as last month, amid Covid-19 chaos, 
lettuce growers in Belgium were granted a new neonic licence.

            We urgently need to crack down on these rule-breakers before 
more countries decide to follow. Our bees can't hold out much longer -- with 
the emergency meeting days away, will you chip in $1 to force the EU to act?

            Yes, I'll chip in $1 now to save the bees from toxic neonics.

            The past few months have been overwhelming for us all -- and 
megacorporations like Bayer are all too eager to profit from the upheaval by 
demanding less oversight and fewer regulations.

            That's why it's so important that you and I keep holding them to 
account. We need to come out of this crisis with a healthier planet, not a 
sicker one. That means fighting harder than ever on behalf of bees and the 
rest of our natural world.

            Thankfully, I know you're up to the challenge. Even in the midst 
of the pandemic, SumOfUs members like you chipped in to help beekeepers 
speak truth to power during Bayer's online AGM. And you've teamed up in 
droves to demand the EU's plans for a coronavirus recovery put people and 
the planet over banks and big business.

            The bees are lucky to have you on their side. Please, can you 
act now to protect them once more?

            Yes, I'll donate $1 to save the bees from toxic neonics.


            Thanks for all that you do,
            Anna, Rachel and the team at SumOfUs

Subject: *[Enwl-eng] BlackRock
Message-ID: <2E2701E029EA4BD7A90A8E6978E58938@evol.sp.ru>





                        BlackRock -- the world?s largest investor in fossil 
fuels -- says it wants to address the climate crisis.

                        Next week is BlackRock's biggest meeting of 
investors for the whole year. Call on the Wall Street giant to divest its 
trillions in managed assets from the fossil fuels driving climate disaster.

                         Sign the petition


            The biggest driver of climate destruction on the planet is a 
name you might not have heard before -- BlackRock.

            BlackRock is a giant investment firm that has funnelled 
unrivalled billions into the companies making the climate crisis worse. It 
is the world's largest investor in fossil fuels, including new coal plants, 
and is a key obstacle between us and a safe and inhabitable planet.

            But thanks to mounting pressure from activists around the world, 
BlackRock?s CEO, Larry Fink, finally issued a letter saying it would act on 
climate. The letter sent shockwaves through the business community. But 
since the letter, there has been almost no action from BlackRock. In short, 
it looks like BlackRock is full of hot air.

            BlackRock's annual meeting is next week, and now is the time to 
turn up pressure to push BlackRock?s $6 trillion in assets into our best 
weapon in the fight against climate change.

            Tell BlackRock CEO Larry Fink to follow his words with action on 
the climate disaster.

            It's simple: BlackRock?s investments are killing the planet. The 
world's largest asset manager has reserves in the fossil fuel industry that 
contributed to a whopping 30 percent of all energy-related carbon emissions 
from 2017.

            The good news is we?ve taken on BlackRock before -- and won. 
BlackRock divested from an Eritrean mining company using forced conscripted 
labor under pressure from our SumOfUs members like you. Larry Fink issued 
his very public letter on the need to transform finance in the face of the 
climate emergency a few months ago, so we know that we can win this fight. 
But only if we keep pushing.

            Before the BlackRock's biggest meeting of the year next week, we 
need to call on BlackRock to make its words real and take bold climate 
action -- before it?s too late.

            Will you add your name now to pressure BlackRock to divest from 
companies driving climate change before the ?tipping point? of disaster?


             Sign the petition
            Thanks for all that you do,
            Angus and the team at SumOfUs

Message-ID: <050B04AF5FE74D46ABBC545768BB2984@evol.sp.ru>

Avaaz.org - The World in Action

                                Dear friends,

                                Something beautiful has happened in the last 
few weeks -- I think we?ve all seen it.

                                In the face of a vicious pandemic, when it 
would have been so easy for fear and selfishness to rule, we've found our 
shared humanity again.

                                But there's a danger that as we beat this 
pandemic, the tenderness of this moment will fade too. We can already see it 
in the divisions being redrawn for political gain and the conspiracy 
theories going viral.

                                The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and unity 
that millions of us have felt amidst this horrific crisis is a fragile thing 
that needs to be defended.

                                That?s why, with the help of Avaazers across 
the globe, we've curated ten of the most beautiful stories of this shining 
new humanity. It's to remind us of who we really are when it matters most, 
and that we really are capable of meeting the biggest threats we face --  
together.






                                In Bangalore, India, one little restaurant 
called Desi Masala is feeding more than 10,000 vulnerable people every 
day -- and they aren't the only ones! Thousands of volunteers, everywhere, 
are helping to cook fresh, healthy food for frontline workers and those in 
need.




                                This is Elena Pagliarini, a nurse from 
Italy, passing out at her desk after an exhausting night shift -- days later 
she tested positive for Covid-19. Elena?s passion stands for the millions of 
hospital staff who are risking their own lives to save those of others. 
Every. Single. Day.



                                After decades of fighting each other, rival 
gangs around Cape Town have agreed an unprecedented truce and are now 
working together to bring food to struggling households in their 
communities. "What we're seeing happen here is literally a miracle," said 
Pastor Andie Steele-Smith.



                                When the Maasai of the Nashulai conservancy 
in Kenya sent Avaaz an urgent cry for help after tourism collapsed because 
of Covid-19, over 100,000 of us answered in a heartbeat, with funding for 
food, health and sanitation supplies, and to pay rangers to keep protecting 
the wildlife. Thank you, Avaazers, you are wonderful!



                                Never before, scientists say, have they seen 
such collaboration across the globe. And Prof Sarah Gilbert is one of the 
women at the forefront, leading a team of dedicated researchers to find a 
vaccine against Covid-19. Now world leaders have pledged ?7.4 billion to 
help and ensure any vaccine is also distributed in poorer countries.

                                At the end of April, more than 200 brave 
doctors from Cuba got on a plane to South Africa to help fight coronavirus. 
They're part of a global army of medical professionals that are leaving 
their families behind to help countries in need.



                                This is Hassan, a former Syrian refugee who 
joined over 750,000 (!!) UK citizens who signed up to help the national 
health service. He's now working as a cleaner at his local hospital, and 
says, ?London has been my home since leaving Syria, and the least I can do 
is make sure my neighbours and the amazing NHS staff are safe and sound."



                                People in Naples, Italy, have been leaving 
"solidarity baskets" for those who are struggling. The note reads: "Put in, 
if you can. Take out, if you can't." And it?s not just Naples: across the 
planet, citizens are helping out their neighbours, from buying groceries to 
cooking meals for those in need. How beautiful is that?



                                Setting an example for countries everywhere, 
Portugal has given all refugees and migrants with pending applications full 
citizenship during the crisis, granting them access to free health care, 
welfare benefits, bank accounts, and rental contracts.



                                This is Captain Tom Moore, a 100-year-old 
man in Britain who set out to raise some money for the health service by 
walking back and forth in his garden. His walk captured the hearts of 
thousands, and he's now raised over ?32 million! And for his 100th birthday, 
people sent him more than 125,000 birthday cards! ?


                                If you enjoyed these stories,
                                feel free to share them ?

                                  Whatsapp








                                And those are just ten stories; there are 
thousands more, of ordinary people doing wonderful, heartwarming things, 
everywhere.

                                They're a reminder of humanity's inherent 
goodness, and an invitation to reimagine our world, and what it means to be 
human in these unprecedented times.

                                This pandemic is far from over, and there 
will be many more crises to come -- but seeing how we are able to rise to 
this one, together, gives me confidence for what lies ahead.

                                Here's to humanity!

Cities after COVID-19: No return to ?business as usual?





                              As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we have 
shifted the focus of the C40 Newsletter to highlight global cities 
responding to the virus and planning an equitable and sustainable recovery 
for our people, our planet, and our economies.



                              MAYORS IN ACTION


                              The Global Mayors COVID-19 Recovery Task Force 
recently launched a Statement of Principles for a green economic recovery 
that says we cannot return to business as usual. Instead, we must strive to 
build a better, more sustainable, more resilient and more equitable society 
out of our recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. At the time of sending this 
newsletter, almost 40 cities from around the world have endorsed the 
statement.

                              C40?s strategy to support our cities and their 
residents as they recover from COVID-19 will be governed by 9 principles 
focused on promoting equity, enhancing public services, creating jobs for a 
new economy, and improving resilience to protect against future threats, and 
more.

                              Read the principles and see which cities have 
endorsed them

                              UPDATES FROM THE C40 KNOWLEDGE HUB

                              The C40 Knowledge Hub is being regularly 
updated with resources and articles for cities seeking to better understand 
and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The expanding library includes policy 
briefs, profiles of city solutions, commentary from mayors and city 
decision-makers, and more.




                              Some mayors from the Global South have 
expressed that full lockdowns seen elsewhere in the world are not possible 
in their cities.

instead




                              Walking and cycling have emerged as vital 
forms of mobility during the COVID-19 crisis and should be a key part of 
recovery plans.

a post-lockdown world

                              A month after Denmark introduced lockdown 
measures, Copenhagen gradually reopened its schools and daycare centres.

                              COVID-19 lockdown measures have threatened the 
job security and income of millions of city residents, putting them in 
jeopardy of missing rent and mortgage payments.

Message-ID: <D91447E668C64AD9BF978851A1371E6F@evol.sp.ru>






            Countries must act now and curb emissions or risk wiping out 
emperor penguins forever.

                  Sign Now



                  While we all hunker down and do our best to fight the 
spread of COVID-19 by staying home, experts are saying that emissions due to 
individual action ? our daily commutes, flying to see far away relatives ? 
are at an all time low. The bad news is, it may still not be enough. It is 
time for our world's countries to use their immense power to finally fight 
climate change on a large scale, or we could lose entire species. Species 
like the emperor penguin.

                  Emperor penguins rely on stable, unchanging ice to breed, 
raise babies, eat, and protect themselves from predators. If there is too 
much or too little ice, the penguins' lives are totally disrupted. And 
climate change is causing that disruption. But climate change can only be 
fought by curbing its biggest contributors ? major industries and the 
nations whose economies they feed.

                  The Paris Agreement was created in 2015 to control 
emissions and global warming. Scientists say that if the goals of the Paris 
Agreement are met, emperor penguins will have a real chance at survival. But 
so far, not one major country is on track to fulfill their promises. Even 
worse, President Trump has sworn to pull the United States from the 
agreement altogether. Sign now and tell the U.S. to re-enter the Paris 
Agreement and remind those countries that have signed to uphold their end of 
the bargain!

                  Thank you,

                         Lauren W.

                  P.S. We cannot afford to lose these beautiful animals 
simply because countries weren't willing to do enough to stop global 
warming. Please protect emperor penguins by signing the petition today!

                        For the past year, the people of Hong Kong took to 
the streets to express their desire to remain an autonomous, self-governed 
city and demand that Beijing respect the "one country, two systems" style of 
governance. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, people have been off the streets 
to halt the spread of the virus, but it also halted the people's efforts.

                        On April 19, Hong Kong authorities arrested 15 
prodemocracy leaders/activists. Among them was Figo Chan, who received the 
Halifax Forum's John S. McCain Prize for Leadership in Public Service on 
behalf of the People of Hong Kong. On May 18, Figo and the 14 others will 
appear in court. The Chinese government has increased its rhetoric against 
the protesters, calling them "a political virus". Figo and the millions of 
people who have protested for freedom, need the support of people around the 
world. Show your support.

 method
Message-ID: <ABCD67AB5A4740ACB20E684BF3C9C3C3@evol.sp.ru>






            Daisy the elephant was freed from a life of torture, but 2,500 
elephants like her still suffer

                  Sign Now

                 April of 2020 marked a year of freedom for Daisy, a 
fifty-year-old elephant whose previous life of captivity and slavery left 
her physically scarred, partially blind, and mentally anguished. She was one 
of the last captive elephants left in Delhi, the capital territory of India, 
who were all rescued in 2019 and sent to sanctuaries to safely pass the rest 
of their lives. But in the rest of the country, more than 2,500 elephants 
still languish in captivity. Sign the petition asking the Indian government 
to grant these elephants the same freedom that Daisy mercifully received. 
End the cruel tradition of captive elephants in India!

                  Elephants like Daisy are "trained" by a method called "the 
crush," during which they are beaten into submission with a sharp hook again 
and again. Thankfully, Daisy was rescued after a ruling in 2016 found Delhi 
an unsuitable place for elephants to be kept captive. But no place exists 
where it would be suitable to keep these animals prisoner, forced to perform 
grueling tasks for human gain and isolated from their own kind. India must 
finally take action, passing legislation to protect every last captive 
elephant within its borders.

                  Help us celebrate Daisy's freedom anniversary by obtaining 
freedom for more like her. Sign the petition and demand that India's 
government ban the captivity of elephants today!

                  Thank you,

                         Kelsey B.

                  P.S. No elephant should live in captivity. Sign the 
petition.

A Politico newsletter (sponsored by military contractor Northrup Grumman) called it "a major victory" for antiwar advocacy groups. We have a long way still to go.

Avaaz.org - The World in ActionThe world is facing a famine of 'biblical proportions' because of the Corona crisis -- that?s the terrifying warning just issued by the UN. 
                          
                   


                  Dear friends, 

                  They say a picture is worth a thousand words -- but this one left me speechless.

                  A hungry mother in India, baby in her arms, bursts into tears after queuing for food -- only for it to run out before she could get any. 

                  Now the UN is warning the world is on the brink of a famine of ?biblical proportions? with a QUARTER OF A BILLION people, like this young mum, staring starvation in the face!

                  Brave local groups and aid workers are working around the clock to fight this ?hunger pandemic?, doing all they can to feed hungry, desperate children, and fight the virus. But they?re working on a shoestring, and they need our help!

                  There?s 60 million of us -- let?s go all out to urgently raise more than ever, and Avaaz will give 100% of the funds to those doing heroic work to feed families, and save lives from COVID-19. Chip in now and let's together join this epic global effort so no one has to watch their children starve: 


                                ?5 feeds 70 people  
                             
                       

                                ?25 feeds 350 people  
                             
                       

                                ?50 feeds 700 people  
                             
                       

                                ?100 feeds 1400 people  
                             
                       

                                ?150 feeds 2100 people  
                             
                       

                                OTHER AMOUNT  
                             
                       

                  Hunger, not disease, could emerge as the biggest killer in this crisis. All over the world, families are struggling to feed their kids ? not just in the poorest countries, but places like South Africa, India and Brazil!

                  Our movement has raised millions over the years for trusted relief groups working with the world?s most vulnerable people, delivering food and medical assistance to those most in need. Since this crisis began, our team has had dozens of emails from them asking us if we can help. 

                  If we raise enough, here?s what we could get done:
                    a.. Scale up a massive feeding programme to tens of thousands of hungry families in India and Pakistan;
                    b.. Support farmers growing food in East Africa as they fight both the pandemic and a giant locust invasion;  
                    c.. Supply thousands of Rohingya refugees crammed into crowded camps with masks, soap and hand sanitiser;
                    d.. Fund urgently needed supplies for heroic medics working in conflict zones like DRC, Yemen and Syria, and;
                    e.. Pay for medical facilities in refugee camps all over the world to contain the spread of the disease.
                  Each and every one of us can make a difference that saves lives -- and every life saved is priceless. Let?s all give what we can -- every single penny we raise will be given away to amazing humanitarian groups doing critical work on the ground, to keep people alive and safe through this crisis. Chip in now to save lives: 


                                ?5 feeds 70 people  
                             
                       

                                ?25 feeds 350 people  
                             
                       

                                ?50 feeds 700 people

                                OTHER AMOUNT  
                             
                       

                  Our movement has done so much to protect the vulnerable in this crisis. We?re already supporting a brave Maasai community to protect their land and their people, and we?ve helped win debt cancellation for poor countries, pushed for a global ceasefire, and stood up to protect the World Health Organisation when it came under attack. Now we need to raise funds to stave off a starvation crisis, and help protect the medical workers doing heroic work all over the world -- so let's come together again.

                  In solidarity and hope,

                  Marigona, Bert, Mike, Martyna, Sofia, Meetali, Francesco and the rest of the Avaaz team.

                  PS: The cost estimates above come from Avaaz partners on the ground. They are based on the costs of providing each person with one meal, and include essential foods like rice, lentils, oil and salt. The more we raise the more people we can help feed!


                  PS - This might be your first donation to our movement ever. But what a first donation! Did you know that Avaaz relies entirely on small donations from members like you? That's why we're fully independent, nimble and effective. Join the over 1 million people who've donated to make Avaaz a real force for good in the world.

 fuels
Message-ID: <21513C1066754EE6BB17B9121DE21C4E@lewpostnew>

Hi,

Over 40 faith institutions from 14 countries announce their divestment from fossil fuels* early this week. This is the largest-ever joint fossil fuel divestment announcement by faith institutions.

Let?s seize the opportunity to build on this moment ? watch and share this video:



As governments around the world make substantial investments in an economic recovery from coronavirus, these faith communities urge them to focus on a low-carbon recovery from the pandemic that centers justice.

To date, over 350 of the 1,400 divestment commitments worldwide come from faith institutions. Their action today puts pressure on governments around the world to enact policies that will lead to a comprehensive and resilient recovery. 

This is a clear signal to the rest of the world that any future investments or stimulus funds must reject fossil fuels and provide long-term structural emissions reductions. The solutions to the economic crisis are the solutions to the climate crisis.

It?s high time for governments to accelerate the transition needed towards a 100% renewable energy future. Any financial intervention must put people and their livelihoods at its core.

Celebrate this inspiring show of moral leadership ? watch and share this video with your friends and family.


Onwards,

Jenny on behalf of 350.org

*A full list of the 42 institutions divesting from fossil fuels and statements from leaders can be found here.

                 Vladimir, 

                  Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, a silver lining has appeared at animal shelters around the world ? folks who are spending more time at home than ever are sharing their time and space with animals in need. But, unfortunately, not everyone who decides they want to foster or adopt an animal has the best intentions. 

                  In Russia, a woman has admitted to adopting a dog, only to butcher it and eat it with her husband later that night. The woman adopted sweet Nika and said she was taking her to a loving home. But later that night, when shelter staff visited the woman's residence in order to make sure it was a suitable environment, they were greeted with a scene from a horror film. Some of Nika's remains lay strewn about the woman's porch; the rest were cooking on the stove. 

                  Galina, Nika's murderer, admitted that she bludgeoned the defenseless puppy with a metal rod before cooking and consuming her. But she still walks free. She even boasted about this, saying "No one will put me in jail over a dog." This must change ? other would-be abusers must see that there are consequences for such actions. Plus, Galina is too dangerous to not be jailed, especially when we consider the connections between animal abuse and human abuse. Sign the petition and demand that Galina is charged for murdering and eating Nika! 

                  Thank you, 

                         Lauren W.

                  P.S. Killing and eating a puppy is a horrendous crime. So why have no charges been brought against this woman? Please sign the petition.

Subject: *[Enwl-eng] A new vision for a carbon-free, nuclear-free world
Message-ID: <0659630BA5424F0892AD6BEE945FA4A5@lewpostnew>

Nuclear Information and Resource Service



            
                        Let's tackle climate change fairly 
                          Read the platform now 
                  Dear Vladimir,

                  Our fight to phase out nuclear energy is about much more than just one type of dirty energy. It?s part of a broader goal: a carbon-free, nuclear-free world powered by clean, renewable energy. That?s the only way we can overcome the challenges of climate change.

                  In pursuing that goal, we have always tried to include those hit first and hardest by climate change: indigenous people, communities of color, poor people, the elderly, women, youth, immigrants, people with disabilities, the global south, and other marginalized communities. They are frequently excluded from mainstream climate debates and from the development of solutions to the crisis.

                  That?s why the U.S. Climate Action Network (USCAN) brought together more than 100 groups to work on a platform that puts equity and justice at the center of climate solutions. The result is the Vision for Equitable Climate Action (VECA)?the most ambitious and equitable platform ever put out by U.S. climate groups. Read the platform at equitableclimateaction.org.

                  NIRS has been deeply involved in this process from the start. The platform includes an entry on nuclear energy that calls for:

                    a.. No new nuclear energy; 
                    b.. Phasing out existing nuclear energy, in an equitable manner, as soon as reactors can be replaced by expanding renewables and efficiency and not with fossil fuels; 
                    c.. Ending subsidies to nuclear energy and redirecting those resources to renewable energy, phasing out of nuclear energy facilities, and a just transition for nuclear energy workers. 
                  We don?t have to choose between having a nuclear-free, carbon-free world and being fair to the communities most harmed by big polluters. VECA is proof that we can and should do both. Read the Vision for Equitable Climate Action at equitableclimateaction.org.

                  VECA is the broadest and most detailed climate policy ever produced by U.S. climate groups. It was created through the most transparent, inclusive process to date: nearly 200 individuals from at least 106 groups participated in its drafting. More importantly, the platform puts equity and justice towards those hit first and hardest by climate change at its center.

                  A big, diverse movement needs an ambitious platform?and now the climate movement has that with VECA. This platform proposes real solutions to the climate crisis and embraces justice and equity toward frontline communities. Read the platform at equitableclimateaction.org and share it with everyone you know!

                  Thank you for all you do,

                        Hi, 


                        Thank you for signing up for World BEYOND War's email list! Look out for our biweekly email newsletter with updates, actions, and upcoming events. 

                        Your support helps grow our global, grassroots network of volunteers, activists, and allied organizations in 175+ countries around the world.

                        We're ramping up our fight to save the bees from toxic pesticides -- but first, we want to hear from YOU.

                        Do you have 30 seconds to answer our questions about the bees?

                         Take the survey 
                       
                 
            Today, on World Bee Day, I want to remind you how vital our bees are to life on this planet -- and just how close we might be to losing them forever.

            These busy pollinators bring us one out of every three bites of food we eat. And for their hard work, they're poisoned -- by the toxic pesticides Bayer-Monsanto and co. have forced into our farming system. The survivors are left open to scary new threats from the US "murder hornet" to a paralysing virus in the UK.

            Covid-19 is dominating news cycles and political agendas right now, but behind the scenes, decisions are being made that could save or doom the bees. More than ever, we need to ramp up our fight to ban bee-harming pesticides and expose the industry giants that are poisoning the planet. But we can't do it without your people power.

            That's why I'd like to know what you think. We have dozens of opportunities to fight for the bees coming up in the next months, and we don't want to miss the ones that matter most to you. Can you take 30 seconds to tell us how you want to save the bees in 2020?

            Yes, I'll take the World Bee Day survey right now!



             Take the survey 
            Thanks for all that you do, 
            David and the team at SumOfUs

                        Can you join us next week for our virtual #NoWar2020 conference?


                        We're planning 3 days of online activities from May 28-30 to talk about nonviolence strategies, hear from organizers who have successfully shut down weapons expos in their communities, and learn about viable pathways to convert from a war to peace economy. Here are the details: 

                        Day 1: Thursday, May 28 at 12:00pm-2:00pm Eastern Time (GMT-4): Mary-Wynne Ashford will kick off #NoWar2020 with a virtual workshop on "Nonviolence Strategies - 101 Solutions to Violence, Terror, and War." Mary-Wynne is a retired Family Physician, former Co-President of the International Physicians for Prevention of Nuclear War, and former President of Physicians for Global Survival (Canada). Her workshop will address ways that we can use nonviolence principles at the personal, community, and international level. Register here!

                        Day 2: Friday, May 29 at 3:00pm-6:00pm Eastern Time (GMT-4): We'll hear 2 back-to-back panel presentations. The first from 3pm-4:30pm will feature organizers from Canada, New Zealand, and the UK who have successfully shut down weapons expos in their communities. Te Ao Pritchard of Auckland Peace Action, Siana Bangura of Campaign Against Arms Trade, Richard Sanders of Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade, and Colin Stuart of NoCANSEC Ottawa will share practical advice about how to run a campaign against arms fairs. Next, from 4:30pm-6:00pm, we'll hear from Tamara Lorincz of Canadian Voice of Women for Peace, Simon Black of Labour Against the Arms Trade, and Brent Patterson of Peace Brigades International-Canada about economic conversion. We know we oppose war, but what's the alternative? We'll talk about how to promote a just transition for arms industry workers, and why the path towards a green economy must include demilitarization. Register for Day 2!

                        Day 3: Saturday, May 30 at 3:00pm-5:00pm Eastern Time (GMT-4): We're mixing it up on Day 3 with a virtual anti-war activists open mic session. This free-form session will be a time for participants like YOU to share music, poetry, stories of activism, and more. We'll also hear reports from World BEYOND War chapter coordinators from around the world, along with music from Sandy Greenberg and the Ottawa Raging Grannies. Sandy is both a talented musician and a dedicated peace activist with both Canadian and Nova Scotia Voice of Women for Peace. The Ottawa Raging Grannies write satirical lyrics to familiar tunes; they rage in song to get out their message about peace, justice, equality, and politics to the widest audience. RSVP for the open mic!

                        All events are free and open to the public. Please forward this email to your networks! 

                        #NoWar2020 had originally been planned as a week-long series of events in Ottawa, Canada, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, has been shifted to an online event. The virtual #NoWar2020 events are a preview of the full week of education and nonviolent action planned for June 2021 in Ottawa, to coincide with CANSEC, North America's largest weapons expo. Save the date to join us in person in June 2021!

                        For a world beyond war,

            Farmers are shooting and gassing their pigs and throwing them away because of slowed production caused by COVID-19

                 Meat plants have never been known for their humane treatment of animals. They do the bare minimum the law requires of them and often not even that, which we know because activists frequently expose animal abuse in these facilities. But now there is a new problem: there have been so many coronavirus outbreaks at meat plants that many have had to close. While factories are shut down, animals destined for slaughter are "sitting idle" ? not making the farmers any money, but still requiring care. Their solution? Farmers are now gassing and shooting their pigs and then discarding them, not even sending them to feed families. 

                  No animal deserves to die like this, especially if it's not even going to feed a human. Stores and restaurants across the country are facing meat shortages while these massive pigs are being slaughtered and thrown away like trash, with even their deaths being completely in vain. The truth is: everything in our way of life is changing rapidly during this pandemic and that makes this a great time to reimagine what a more ethical and humane future could look like. 

                  Please join us in calling for justice for these sweet pigs that never deserved any of this. 

                  Thank you,

      In Case You Missed It 
      ?Shell Must Fall?: People held physically distanced actions outside Shell?s headquarters in the Hague on Tuesday, during the oil giant?s virtual Annual General Meeting inside. The protest was limited to thirty people due to coronavirus, and many activists wore protective masks. Other actions were held at the same time across the Netherlands and Europe, including in Groningen, Prague, and Berlin. ?Shell has earned billions from oil exploitation, now these dirty investments must come to an end,? Greenpeace biologist Helena Spiritus told Reuters. Read more

Williams pipeline would?ve cost $1 billion USD and pumped in 400 million cubic feet of gas every day ? its denial is sending a signal across the U.S. that we don?t need more fossil fuel infrastructure.

      Indonesia: People coordinated digital actions to oppose the country's new Mining Law, which would make it easier for foreign companies to invest in coal extraction. Using the messaging platform WhatsApp, they wrote to parliament members and government officials and even sent a symbolic coffin and flowers, to call out the lack of support for people in need during the pandemic.

Message-ID: <90B73AEBDF9045DDBE01EE05E34BD27D@lewpostnew>



      Our green transition is at risk, under pressure from powerful polluting lobbies. We have 48 hours before the proposal for a recovery plan from the European Commission is finalised: if the Commission falls for the pressure, the ?green? could be removed from the ?recovery?. 

      TWEET to von der leyen NOW 
Hi,

It?s happening right now. A colleague from Brussels reached out yesterday: Ursula von der Leyen is giving in to pressure from big polluting corporates.

Alfred knows well the labyrinths and corridors of power in the maze of the European Commission. [1] It took him a couple of calls and email exchanges to understand what?s at risk: a transition to a fair and green economy in Europe.

As the coronavirus crisis unfolds, there?s one glimpse of hope for radical change so that our economy works for people, and not for the richest and most powerful. One that doesn?t destroy the Earth. Our hopes to get our continent out of recession lie in the recovery plan being negotiated right now. It is the biggest investment plan the world has ever seen. 

If polluting industries get their way, our efforts to make the recovery plan an opportunity for a transition to clean jobs, fair wages and a less polluted Europe could be dead before given a chance. They want the ?green? to disappear from the ?recovery? and make the plan work for ? well, their pockets.

The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, wants to be seen as the European politician able to listen to all parts: but she hasn?t listened to citizens - yet. Send her a tweet she can?t miss and ask her not to give in to pressure from dirty industries!

            TWEET now! 
     

The Coronavirus crisis could be a wake up call, showing the importance of people and planet in our laws and policies. Together we can stop our politicians from going back to business as usual.

In hope,

Virginia (Madrid) and the WeMove Europe team

[1] Alfred is not his real name, which is not disclosed for identity protection. He holds a top senior position in one of the most reputable Brussels based NGOs, and has years of experience in navigating the corridors of the European Commission, Parliament and Council.

Message-ID: <0836CB783644438EA02AF16F20351C1D@lewpostnew>



Hi,

It?s official and we won: Conventionally-bred animals and plants are not patentable. [1] It may seem obvious to us, but corporations like Bayer (buyer of Monsanto), Syngenta and Carlsberg fought hard against this outcome. Without a patent, they cannot control and profit from the biological information in those plants and animals! 

This is a story of success and a story of people working together hand in hand. We?re so pleased to walk you through some of the exciting highlights:

In 2016 we joined the predominantly German campaign against patents on broccoli, tomatoes, barley and salmon. We quickly mobilised across borders and made the campaign a truly European effort. A couple of months later a broad alliance of organisations delivered 800,000 signatures saying ?no? to patents turning natural organisms into the private possessions of multinational corporations. [2]


In the summer of 2016, farmers, gardeners and activists delivered 800,000 signatures from all over Europe against patents on plants and animals to the European Patent Office in Munich.

A petition wasn?t enough to get noticed at the European Patent Office (EPO), so we organised the largest official objection against a patent the EPO had ever seen. With partners we filed almost 65,000 complaints against a patent on a tomato, signed by citizens from all over Europe. This was huge - the EPO was so overwhelmed they couldn?t take them all in at once. [3] 

In June 2017, we confronted the EPO with a protest directly in Munich, where they are based. Munich is all famous for their beer and tradition in brewing. Munich has the Oktoberfest, a beer festival and fair with millions of people pouring into the city. We started a campaign against a patent on barley, brewing and beer and delivered our protest in a beer wagon, pulled by the traditional 6 carriage horses. [4]


Delivering of hundreds of thousands of signatures in summer 2017 against a patent on barley, brewing and beer Carlsberg company applied for. In the background: the office building of the European Patent Office.

Then in July 2017 we already saw a huge win in Brussels. The European Union made it explicitly clear that plants and animals are not the inventions of mankind, but of nature and therefore are a common good. [5] Stubbornly, the EPO refused to accept the decision but at least put all pending patent applications on hold. Still they accepted new applications for patents on plants and animals.

To keep the pressure up we returned to Munich a year later, in September 2019, to welcome thousands of beer fans streaming to the Oktoberfest. They have to walk directly through a courtyard of the European Patent Office. Our community crowdfunded thousands of flags calling for no patents on beer. WeMove volunteers and activists handed out the flags and we turned the stream of people into a demonstration. [6]


Beer fans on their way to the Oktoberfest passing by the EPO and welcomed by activists in four languages. Thousands of flags made it a demonstration for no patents on beer, brewing and barley.

Finally, in summer 2019, we joined a broad coalition of environmental and farming organisations to showcase that this was not only an issue with plants, but also with various animals like pig, sheep and different species of fish. Together we filed an open letter and an official complaint against a patent on salmon. [7]


Summer in Munich again. Activists of a broad coalition are calling for an end of patents on plants and animals and handing in our open letter against a patent on salmon.

This is our side of the story. On the other side you can be certain corporations were fighting tooth and nail, lobbying, spending a lot of money to beat us. But just last week the Enlarged Board of Appeal, the highest legal body of the European Patent Office published their legal opinion. On 14 May 2020 we won. We hope the decision will help to put an end to a decade of complete legal absurdity and chaotic decision-making at the EPO.

So often, when we win we are celebrating the combination of good arguments, strong and experienced partners and the broad international mobilisation of people power. It is People power that we - the WeMove Europe community - can contribute to the movement. Each success is thanks to everone that adds their signatures, shares our calls to action with family and friends, and donates when they can.

Our special thanks go to our partners, No Patents on Seeds and Campact. In 2016 Campact invited us to join the campaign when they realised that this was an issue that could only be solved on the European level.

No Patents on Seeds is the true driver of this campaign. It?s thanks to their expertise and persistent research that we had all the information at the right moments to mobilise across borders and change decisions that impact us all.

It?s always satisfying to celebrate a win, but we also know how strong the interests of corporations are. They will search for loopholes. We have to be on the watch. If you can afford to donate a small amount today, it will be a huge help for our next fight against corporate power. Can you chip in?

In solidarity,
David, J?rg (Germany), and the entire WeMove Europe team

Subject: *[Enwl-eng] Palm oil victory: YOU did it!
Message-ID: <7BC11FD91F544F9089F26526A1078936@lewpostnew>




          
            You did it!

            We?re one step closer to saving the last orangutans from palm oil destruction, and that?s thanks to you.

            After more than 5 years of campaigning, PepsiCo has changed its palm oil sourcing policy, and agreed to use its influence with other companies to end rainforest destruction and human rights abuses.

            This is a MASSIVE VICTORY. And Vladimir, it?s thanks to SumOfUs members like you.

            PepsiCo is the world?s second-largest food and beverage company. By moving this snack food giant, you moved an entire sector! 

            Last year, during the company?s shareholder meeting, we presented more than a million signatures gathered over 5 years asking PepsiCo to cut ties with conflict palm oil. In response to your efforts and continued pressure, this year PepsiCo announced an industry-leading policy and a series of actions to tackle rainforest destruction, worker abuse, and exploitation of communities for cheap palm oil.
             



            Ad on an iconic London double decker bus targeting PepsiCo and its Doritos brand in 2015.


            You?ve done so much over the past 5 years and I am really thankful for your support. Together, we?ve signed dozens of petitions to the company?s top bosses, exposed their dirty palm oil secrets on social media, and put out brand jamming viral videos that raked in more than 20 million views. 

            We also confronted PepsiCo on its turf -- We protested outside PepsiCo?s headquarters, and for three years, we crashed the company?s shareholder meeting in New Bern, North Carolina, bringing your demands to the birthplace of Pepsi.

            YOU, Vladimir, forced PepsiCo to change, year after year, closing one loophole after another in the company?s palm oil policies, until they got it right.

            We forced PepsiCo to take meaningful action, but the last orangutans are still facing extinction and palm oil villains are still profiting off rainforest destruction. I?ve worked on this campaign with SumOfUs members for the past 5 years, and I?ve never doubted that together, we would succeed to get PepsiCo to change its ways. And together, as we celebrate this victory, I?m asking you for help again.

            Vladimir, this massive victory wouldn't have been possible without the generous donations of SumOfUs members. You make it possible for us to run long term campaigns -- and what a smashing success! Would you like to make a one off donation to help save the last orangutans from palm oil destruction?

            P.S. I also want to personally thank our long time partners Rainforest Action Network and the International Labor Rights Forum as well as OPPUK, an Indonesian organization working on the ground. They all played a critical role in securing this victory.


            Thanks for all that you do, 
            Fatah and the team at SumOfUs

 possible!
Message-ID: <C3F4ABE3C5CF49808A064A4391A7D796@evol.sp.ru>



Dear all,


Thank you for supporting the Ten Points Statement on the EU Taxonomy. We 
managed to gather 94 signatures, a big improvement on our previous 55. The 
statement is still open for signatures, if you know of anyone who can help 
us reach 100!


The statement was published this morning on the WWF's website and was sent 
to key media contacts in Brussels. Please find the press release below and 
online here: https://www.wwf.eu/?uNewsID=363792


We are now trying to amplify the message as much as possible. If you can 
communicate on this statement with your local and national media, please do 
not hesitate to do so. Tweets are suggested below, or here's one to 
Re-Tweet.


We are available to help with any further questions.


Best wishes, and thank you for your support,


Henry

SUGGESTED TWEETS (or RT HERE):



The EU?s plan to end greenwashing in the finance sector must not fall at 
first hurdle!



Nuclear & gas are NOT sustainable and should not be included in taxonomy.



94 NGOs agree - RT if you do too! #stopfakegreen



https://www.wwf.eu/?uNewsID=363792



---------



Hydropower, bioenergy & forestry can easily do more harm than good to 
climate & nature



94 NGOs say @EU_Commission must tighten rules on what counts as sustainable



Follow the science to #stopfakegreen in EU taxonomy!



https://www.wwf.eu/?uNewsID=363792





      The taxonomy can guide the EU?s green recovery spending










      For immediate release







      NGOs set out demands for EU sustainable taxonomy

      Brussels, Belgium - 25 May 2020





      Nearly 100 NGOs have signed a list of ten priorities for an effective 
and science-based EU taxonomy. If done properly, the taxonomy should help 
end greenwashing in the finance sector by showing which investments are 
truly sustainable. The taxonomy can also play an even bigger role, helping 
the post-crisis EU economy become more resilient by guiding the EU?s green 
recovery spending.


      The 94 NGOs, which include WWF, 350.org, Transport & Environment and 
Climate Action Network Europe, ask for criteria suggested by the technical 
expert advisory group to the Commission (the TEG) to be tightened 
particularly for forestry, bioenergy and hydropower, where there is a risk 
of damaging practises being included as sustainable. For example on 
bioenergy, they ask for the European Commission to exclude tree trunks and 
stumps from being considered as ?green?, since burning them for energy 
actually increases emissions compared to fossil fuels.

      S?bastien Godinot, Economist at WWF European Policy Office said:

      ?If the Commission gets the taxonomy right, the EU will have a 
ready-to-use map for green recovery, clearly showing where to invest for a 
more resilient and sustainable economy. But allowing the taxonomy to be too 
lax, or including the wrong sectors like nuclear or gas as sustainable, 
would undermine it from the get-go. We urge the Commission to take our ten 
asks into account.?

      The ten demands and full list of signatories are here.

The Climate Reality Project


We want to hear from you!







                              You?ve been a great supporter of the work we 
do, and in this ever-changing time, we wanted to take a minute to check in.

                              As you know, this has been a moment like no 
other. We?ve all seen the terrible human and economic cost of COVID-19, as 
well as the extraordinary heroism of health care professionals and essential 
workers across sectors.

                              And in a matter of weeks, COVID-19 has also 
rewritten the rule book on how we organize, mobilize, and empower climate 
advocates. Our trainings have taken on a different format, our chapters have 
stepped up in big ways to continue to press for actions at the state level, 
and thousands of you have pushed back as the White House continues to 
prioritize Big Polluter profits over the health and well-being of Americans.
                              Your input on our work is invaluable, and that?s 
why we wanted to take a moment to ask you what climate issues concern you 
the most and what you would find most helpful as we face this new reality 
together.

                              Thank you in advance for sharing your 
perspective with us!

Subject: *[Enwl-eng] EU turns its back on human rights
Message-ID: <986D0DD87B174FCDB57AFE92E8449582@evol.sp.ru>

Hi,

Imagine you?ve fled violence in your own country, crossing international 
borders on foot, or through terrifying journeys by sea. Now you?re living in 
a refugee camp ravaged by a global pandemic - and the country you?re in won?t 
even let you apply for asylum.

That?s exactly the situation for refugees in Greece right now. [1] They?re 
facing worse conditions than ever. And with no asylum process running, there?s 
nothing they can do about it.

The European Union was founded on a shared commitment to human rights. Now 
those values are being thrown into question. We need to act fast and turn up 
the pressure on our campaign to stand up for refugees: to protect them, and 
defend the values that underpin the EU overall.

We?ve already found a legal team to challenge the Greek government for free. 
But now we need to gather the evidence to back it up - and doing this 
specialist research costs money.

Can you chip in, so we can stop the Greek government and the EU turning 
their backs on refugees?

      I'll donate ?10
      I'll donate ?20
      I'll donate ?30
      I'll surprise you!

Right now, the situation in Greece is dire. There is at least one report of 
migrants dying as they tried to cross the border without permission [2]. 
Within refugee camps, there are rumours of African residents being subjected 
to racist beatings and abuse. [3] People with health conditions are 
struggling to survive the pandemic in unclean, crowded conditions.

Our lawyers will soon file a complaint with the Commission about the Greek 
government breaking EU law on their treatment of migrants. Because it?s so 
important, they?ve taken the case for no charge. The lawyers' support is 
already a huge breakthrough for the campaign, saving us tens of thousands of 
Euros.

Can you contribute so that we can build a case and protect migrants coming 
to Europe, now and in the future?

      I'll donate ?10
      I'll donate ?20
      I'll donate ?30
      I'll surprise you!

Although the EU has issued guidance saying that asylum applications must 
continue despite coronavirus, [4] Greece needs to be pushed to ensure asylum 
applications start again. Some EU leaders have even tweeted that they 
support Greece in shutting down the application process. [5]

But 100,000s of WeMove members are stronger than a few lone voices showing 
off on Twitter. Already, we?ve delivered a letter signed by 100,000 of us, 
from all over Europe. Now we need to show Europe?s leaders that we won?t go 
home just because they ignore us - we?ll turn up the volume instead.

Can you chip in, so we can take our legal fight for Europe?s refugees to the 
next level?

      Yes, I'll donate

Thanks for being involved!
David, Giulio (Rome), and the entire WeMove Europe team



P.S. By bringing this case to the Commission, our aims are twofold. We want 
to ensure that Greece and all Member States respect the right to asylum for 
hundreds of people fleeing war and poverty, and make sure that the EU 
heightens its humanitarian response ensuring that asylum seekers are 
relocated from Greece to other EU countries equitably, fairly and humanely. 
Donate to push Europe to stand up for refugees!

 and killed for our cosmetics
Message-ID: <E162802BF0A24E299766C9B1D364511B@evol.sp.ru>






            A bunny may have lost her life for your blush, but you can make 
sure this never happens again!

                  Sign Now



                  Testing cosmetics products on animals may be outdated, 
ineffective, and cruel, but that hasn't slowed down the industry at all in 
the United States. On a daily basis, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other sweet, 
tiny creatures are shaved so that their skin can easily be subjected to 
burning chemicals They are fed cosmetics ingredients until they are sick or 
dead. Sometimes they even force the animals to become sick, breed, and then 
give birth to even sicker, mutated, or dead babies. If an animal survives 
all this, they have served their cruel purpose and they are killed ? a 
snapped neck or suffocation are popular choices among cruel handlers. Is our 
lipstick worth all this pain and suffering?

                  Maybe the saddest part of all is that animal testing for 
cosmetics is not always necessary or scientifically valid ? there are 
cheaper, more humane, and more effective ways to make our products safe for 
us to use. That's partly why the Humane Cosmetics Act was introduced late in 
2019, aiming to make testing on animals for cosmetic products illegal in the 
entire supply chain for any product sold in the U.S. It would be a huge win 
for animals and the humans who love them, too. But it didn't go anywhere! 
That's why public pressure is needed to show Congress that people all over 
the world care about this important issue. Will you sign on to support the 
U.S. in banning animal testing for cosmetics completely?

                  Thank you,

                         Lauren W.

                  P.S. A little bit of blush is not worth the torture and 
murder of countless animals. Please sign the petition today to end the 
cruelty.

                              One Big Thing:
                              Do you support sanctions on China if it passes 
a law restricting rights in Hong Kong?

                              Join Us & Take our Poll


                              What is it?
                                a.. This week, China?s parliament will 
likely pass a National Security Law on Hong Kong. If passed, this law will 
severely limit human freedoms as it bans secession, redefines crimes of 
subversion and terrorism, and targets international actors supporting 
pro-democracy protesters.
                                b.. The U.S. has come out strongly against 
the new National Security Law, with the White house claiming that it 
represents a takeover of Hong Kong. Many experts have also recommended 
sanctions against China under the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act 
of 2019.
                              Why is it important?
                                a.. The Chinese government?s proposed 
National Security Law addresses Article 23 of the Basic Law which if 
changed, would effectively override Hong Kong?s unique system of 
self-governance and do away with the ?one country, two systems.? This 
demonstrates China?s desire to annex Hong Kong, similar to their past 
encroachments on Tibet.
                                b.. If this law is passed, it will impede on 
many of the fundamental rights the people of Hong Kong currently enjoy 
including free speech, the right to protest and an accountable and 
transparent judicial system.
                                c.. Another aspect of the law specifically 
targets foreign actors operating in Hong Kong. This is a direct move against 
many of the pro-human rights and democracy organizations who support Hong 
Kong?s independence from Beijing.
                                d.. This move follows months of unrest and 
protest in Hong Kong over previous encroachments by the Chinese government 
regarding the extradition of a Hong Kong citizen to the Chinese justice 
system ? another sovereign right protected by the Basic Law.
                              What can you do?
                                a.. See how the United States could sanction 
China using Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 or the Global 
Magnitsky Sanctions.
                                b.. Learn more from Senator Josh Hawley?s 
(R-Mo.) resolution to condemn China?s new law and open letter to the United 
Nations.

                        Hi,

                        We're so excited that our virtual #NoWar2020 
conference starts tomorrow! We're offering 3 days of online events, in place 
of our annual convergence that had been planned in Ottawa, Canada. And all 
of the virtual events are free & open to the public! Our excellent speakers 
will share their experiences as organizers and activists around the world. 
It's not too late to register at the links below - and to forward this email 
to your friends.

                        *Day 1: Tomorrow, Thursday, May 28 at 12:00pm-2:00pm 
Eastern Time (GMT-4): Mary-Wynne Ashford will lead an interactive virtual 
workshop on the efficacy of nonviolence. We'll discuss practical nonviolent 
solutions at the personal, community, and international level. Register 
here! Plus, activists from Ontario, Canada are invited to join us tomorrow 
at 7:00pm Eastern for a special regional online networking session as part 
of the #NoWar2020 conference. Email ontario at worldbeyondwar.org to register!

                        *Day 2: Friday, May 29 at 3:00pm-6:00pm Eastern Time 
(GMT-4): We'll hear 2 back-to-back panel presentations, with plenty of time 
for Q&A and discussion after each panel. First, from 3:00pm-4:30pm, we'll 
talk about effective strategies for organizing against weapons expos. We'll 
hear from Siana Bangura in the UK, Te Ao Pritchard in New Zealand, and 
Richard Sanders and Colin Stuart in Canada about their experiences shutting 
down weapons expos, and we'll share tips for running a campaign in your 
community. Then from 4:30pm-6:00pm, we'll hear from Tamara Lorincz, Brent 
Patterson, and Simon Black about how to make a just transition from a war to 
a peace economy. How can we ensure that arms industry workers are 
re-trained? What are the barriers to economic conversion? Why is 
demilitarization an essential step to achieving a green economy? We'll 
answer these questions and much more. Register for Day 2!

                        *Day 3: Saturday, May 30 at 3:00pm-5:00pm Eastern 
Time (GMT-4): We're mixing it up with a virtual anti-war activists open mic 
session. Tune in for live music from Sandy Greenberg and the Ottawa Raging 
Grannies, plus hear stories from World BEYOND War chapter coordinators 
around the world. We'll open the floor to all participants to share poetry, 
music, stories of activism, and more, so come prepared to share something 
too! RSVP!


                        Hope to see you on Zoom!

 chemicals from their sunscreen!
Message-ID: <5EEC6D8F0D504AF69D61ECC618FEDB69@evol.sp.ru>






            Coppertone sunscreens contain chemicals that harm coral reefs. 
It should remove these toxins and do its part to save our oceans!


                        Sign Now


                 As summer swiftly approaches, plans and activities will 
obviously be very different than in previous years. While we navigate the 
"new normal" that the COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in, we are doing our 
best to keep ourselves, loved ones, and the most compromised members of our 
society safe. But there are still ways to stay happy, healthy, and active. 
One option is spending time outdoors in the sunshine, where experts say we 
are safe provided that we are socially distant. But what if the sunscreens 
we use are far from safe?

                  Coppertone sunscreen contains oxybenzone and octinoxate, 
which are chemicals that can bleach, stunt, and even kill corals and other 
marine organisms. Not only are reefs home to countless organisms ? 25% of 
all ocean species rely on reefs for survival ? but they also provide 
endlessly for humans. It is estimated that reefs yield as much as 172 
billion U.S. dollars yearly for humans by providing food, tourism, shore 
protection, and products used in medicines. Coral reefs are also a key 
player in keeping our environment healthy. It is unacceptable that 
Coppertone would make sunscreen that protects us but harms the coral reefs 
that we and our environment depend on.

                  Hawaii made history when it officially banned sunscreens 
containing oxybenzone and octinoxate, but it should not be up to individual 
states or territories. Companies like Coppertone can stop this harm at the 
source, and they should! Coppertone's parent company, Bayer, says it 
continuously works to "develop product solutions that benefit the 
environment." But there are plenty of environmentally friendly sunscreen 
ingredients already. It's time for Bayer to live up to its promises of 
corporate responsibility and stop selling products that it knows are 
contributing to coral bleaching and the deaths of marine vertebrates. Tell 
Bayer to change Coppertone's ingredients and go reef-safe, before it's too 
late!

                  Thank you,

                         Lauren W.
                        The Care2 Petitions Team


                 P.S. It's time for Coppertone to stop selling products that 
are contributing to coral bleaching and the deaths of marine vertebrates. 
Please sign the petition.

                        29 June - 03 July 2020


                        The CCB network aims to establish and develop 
contacts between engaged citizens in all the Baltic Sea countries.
                        The CCB summer course "Our Common Baltic" is a 
fantastic way for engaged volunteers to get involved, to learn more about 
the problems and solutions for the Baltic sea catchment and to meet and 
learn from each others experiences and specific issues in the respective 
country and local situation.

                        Due to the current circumstances with travel and 
COVID-19, OCB will be held online this year, with no travel necessary. We 
are creating a dynamic program to meet this challenge, with excellent 
presentations and activities to connect you with your Baltic Sea home and 
neighbours in the program.

                        Our program limit is 25 participants, and we will 
begin by considering one person from each member and partner organization, 
but we could bring more in if we do not fill by our registration deadline, 
12 June.

                        The event page on CCB's website will be constantly 
updated and further information and instructions will be shared with the 
registered participants.

Avaaz.org - The World in ActionThe world is facing a famine of 'biblical 
proportions' because of the Corona crisis -- that?s the terrifying warning 
just issued...



            Hi! You might have thought about donating to help end this 
hunger pandemic. The money we've raised so far is already helping to feed 
hundreds of thousands of people. But with millions expected to go hungry, 
every penny counts. Chip in now -- 100% of the funds raised will go to feed 
families and save lives from COVID-19!




                  Dear friends,

                  They say a picture is worth a thousand words -- but this 
one left me speechless.

                  A hungry mother in India, baby in her arms, bursts into 
tears after queuing for food -- only for it to run out before she could get 
any.

                  Now the UN is warning the world is on the brink of a 
famine of ?biblical proportions? with a QUARTER OF A BILLION people, like 
this young mum, staring starvation in the face!

                  Brave local groups and aid workers are working around the 
clock to fight this ?hunger pandemic?, doing all they can to feed hungry, 
desperate children, and fight the virus. But they?re working on a 
shoestring, and they need our help!

                  There?s 60 million of us -- let?s go all out to urgently 
raise more than ever, and Avaaz will give 100% of the funds to those doing 
heroic work to feed families, and save lives from COVID-19. Chip in now and 
let's together join this epic global effort so no one has to watch their 
children starve:


                                ?5 feeds 50 people



                                ?25 feeds 250 people



                                ?50 feeds 500 people



                                ?100 feeds 1000 people



                                ?150 feeds 1500 people



                                OTHER AMOUNT



                  Hunger, not disease, could emerge as the biggest killer in 
this crisis. All over the world, families are struggling to feed their 
kids ? not just in the poorest countries, but places like South Africa, 
India and Brazil!

                  Our movement has raised millions over the years for 
trusted relief groups working with the world?s most vulnerable people, 
delivering food and medical assistance to those most in need. Since this 
crisis began, our team has had dozens of emails from them asking us if we 
can help.

                  If we raise enough, here?s what we could get done:
                    a.. Scale up a massive feeding programme to tens of 
thousands of hungry families in India and Pakistan;
                    b.. Support farmers growing food in East Africa as they 
fight both the pandemic and a giant locust invasion;
                    c.. Supply thousands of Rohingya refugees crammed into 
crowded camps with masks, soap and hand sanitiser;
                    d.. Fund urgently needed supplies for heroic medics 
working in conflict zones like DRC, Yemen and Syria, and;
                    e.. Pay for medical facilities in refugee camps all over 
the world to contain the spread of the disease.
                  Each and every one of us can make a difference that saves 
lives -- and every life saved is priceless. Let?s all give what we can --  
every single penny we raise will be given away to amazing humanitarian 
groups doing critical work on the ground, to keep people alive and safe 
through this crisis. Chip in now to save lives:


                                ?5 feeds 50 people



                                ?25 feeds 250 people



                                ?50 feeds 500 people



                                ?100 feeds 1000 people



                                ?150 feeds 1500 people



                                OTHER AMOUNT



                  Our movement has done so much to protect the vulnerable in 
this crisis. We?re already supporting a brave Maasai community to protect 
their land and their people, and we?ve helped win debt cancellation for poor 
countries, pushed for a global ceasefire, and stood up to protect the World 
Health Organisation when it came under attack. Now we need to raise funds to 
stave off a starvation crisis, and help protect the medical workers doing 
heroic work all over the world -- so let's come together again.

                  In solidarity and hope,

                  Marigona, Bert, Mike, Martyna, Sofia, Meetali, Francesco 
and the rest of the Avaaz team.

                  PS: The cost estimates above come from Avaaz partners on 
the ground. They are based on the costs of providing each person with one 
meal, and include essential foods like rice, lentils, oil and salt. The more 
we raise the more people we can help feed!


                  PS - This might be your first donation to our movement 
ever. But what a first donation! Did you know that Avaaz relies entirely on 
small donations from members like you? That's why we're fully independent, 
nimble and effective. Join the over 1 million people who've donated to make 
Avaaz a real force for good in the world.

                        While the EU tries to find a green way out of the 
Covid-19 pandemic, the European Central Bank is preparing to pour billions 
of euros into dirty fossil fuel corporations.

                        We've got just 6 days to stop this.

                        Tell the ECB to stop funding the climate crisis!



                         Sign the petition


            Nobody's sure what the future will look like once the 
coronavirus pandemic ends -- but we do know that fossil fuels have no place 
in it.

            So why is the European Central Bank responding to the crisis by 
throwing billions at our dirtiest industries?

            ?1.1 trillion. That's how much the ECB will spend this year to 
prop up the economy. And if we don't act right now, a significant portion of 
that will go to coal, oil, gas and airline corporations -- steering us away 
from the EU's promised green recovery and straight into climate disaster.

            Ahead of the bank's next meeting on June 4, we need to rally 
together and demand the ECB put our planet before big polluters!

            Tell the European Central Bank to stop financing climate chaos!

            Hundreds of thousands of SumOfUs members like you have told the 
EU its emergency coronavirus spending must fall in line with a fair and just 
climate transition. With commissioners, governments and environmental 
organisations all on board, our chances for a green recovery are higher than 
ever.

            But with its secretive 'quantitative easing' system, the ECB 
could undo all that. It's set to finance some of Europe's biggest polluters 
to up to ?132 billion, from Shell to Fortum -- the energy corp trying to sue 
the Netherlands for phasing out coal!

            These corporations have already pushed our climate to the brink. 
Just last week Cyclone Amphan, one of the strongest storms on record, 
wreaked destruction across Bengal. The effects of the climate crisis are 
already here, and continued rising temperatures will only make such ?super 
cyclones? more likely.

            With extra no-strings billions lining their pockets, imagine how 
many lives and lands will be crushed.

            Tell the European Central Bank to stop financing climate chaos!

            The pandemic has been devastating -- but our recovery from it is 
an unprecedented opportunity to effect lasting, meaningful change for people 
and the planet. At a time when even private banks are starting to distance 
themselves from coal, oil and gas, we can't let the ECB ruin our progress.

            Now's the time to expose the bank's shameful practices, force it 
to cut off fossil fuels and demand it invest in the green future our world 
deserves. Are you with us, Vladimir?

            Yes -- I'll sign the urgent petition now


             Sign the petition
            Thanks for all that you do,
            Leyla and the team at SumOfUs

Hi,

The COVID-19 and climate crises push us to ask: how do we chart a path 
forward for humanity?

As we move towards a collective vision of recovery and justice, we want to 
build unity and guidance.

That?s why we?re excited to invite you to the Virtual Festival for Our 
Planet! A global online broadcast to mark World Environment Day, on 5 June.

We bring you this festival in collaboration with Pathway to Paris, because 
as we face an unknown future, one thing is clear: we simply cannot go back 
to business as usual. We must be bold in rebuilding our planet ? a 
healthier, more equitable and more sustainable home for us all.

This will be a chance to learn more and join the call for a united global 
response to this COVID-19 pandemic that ensures a just recovery and 
transition to a better future for those most in need in the wake of this 
crisis.

The Festival will be going live on June 5 at 7pm GMT and run for 4 hours

going to be a special moment.

      Join the festival

Tickets are free and everyone is welcome!

Let?s come together in honour of our communities, environment, future and

Thelma and the 350.org team

                        May 2020

                        In case you missed it: environmental updates








                        COVID-19 has shown us that human health and the 
planet?s health are linked. In response to the crisis, UNEP is providing 
even more support to countries as they reduce the risks of future pandemics 
by restoring ecosystems and biodiversity, fighting climate change and 
reducing pollution. Read on for recent online highlights from UNEP.







                        ECOSYSTEMS AND BIODIVERSITY
                        Biodiversity: It?s Time for Nature


                        The International Day for Biological Diversity on 22 
May kicked off the #ForNature campaign, which will lead into World 
Environment Day on 5 June. The theme? It's Time for Nature?highlights how 
nature delivers vital services to humanity and the urgent need to halt its 
destruction.







                        ECOSYSTEMS AND BIODIVERSITY
                        Working with the environment to protect people


                        As part of the global response to COVID-19, UNEP is 
supporting nations and partners to ?build back better? ? through stronger 
science, policies that back a healthier planet and more green investments.







                        ECOSYSTEMS AND BIODIVERSITY
                        The Act #ForNature Global Online Forum


                        The Act #ForNature Global Online Forum under the 
leadership of UNEA and Norway provides an opportunity for citizens, 
government and non-governmental organizations, businesses and scientific 
institutions from around the globe to engage in a series of open and 
inclusive discussions across a diverse range of topics. View the online 
schedule of events and register to take part in the Forum.

                        The State of the World's Forests


                        This new report, jointly launched by the Food and 
Agriculture Organization of the UN and UNEP?s World Conservation Monitoring 
Centre, calls for urgent action to safeguard the biodiversity of the world?s 
forests amid alarming rates of deforestation and degradation.

                        Record global carbon dioxide concentrations despite 
COVID-19


                        According to global trends, air quality seems to be 
improving as the world has locked down to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. But, 
rising levels of global carbon dioxide concentrations reveal that the 
climate crisis persists.

                        Reading the tea leaves


                        Tea, one of the oldest cash crops, can play a big 
role in reducing poverty and rural development.But, in most tea-growing 
countries, farmers remain marginalized and poor. On International Tea Day 
(21 May) we explore how the industry can build back better after COVID-19.

can stop)


                        Having neglected the elements that surround us, we 
have inadvertently made our world a less healthy place to live. See how our 
failure to care for the environment is affecting our own health.

Subject: *[Enwl-eng] Tell the NRC: No nuclear waste in our landfills
Message-ID: <53DA90D3EAF2480E99504A7D3D707BEC@evol.sp.ru>

Nuclear Information and Resource Service





                        Tell the NRC and Congress:
                        No Nuclear Waste In Our Landfills
                  Right now, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is 
planning a very dangerous change to the way radioactive waste from nuclear 
power is handled.

                  The NRC is creating a fictitious and deceptive name for 
nuclear power waste. Despite being extremely dangerous to human health and 
the environment, the NRC is trying to downplay Very Long-Lasting Waste by 
telling the Very Large Lie it is supposedly only very low level--VLLW.

                  It is not. But disregarding the danger, the NRC has 
proposed to let regular landfill operators dispose of this radioactive 
waste. This would almost certainly result in more widespread nuclear waste 
leaks into our water, air, crops, and communities.

                  We need to stop the NRC in its tracks before it takes this 
dangerous step toward deregulating nuclear waste. Tell the NRC and your 
members of Congress: Don?t dump radioactive waste into our landfills.

                  There is no such thing as a safe level of radioactivity. 
The NRC claims only very "low levels" of radioactive waste will be disposed 
of with regular trash, but there is no safe level. At the proposed level, 1 
in every 500 people will get cancer if exposed over their lifetimes.

                  Powerful players in the nuclear industry are pushing for 
this change, and the NRC may give them what they want unless we stop them. 
Tell the NRC and your members of Congress: Don?t dump radioactive waste into 
our landfills.

                  The truth about proposed VLLW Radioactive Waste is that it?s 
a Very Large Lie. VLLW is not clearly defined but does include extremely 
dangerous Very Long Lasting radioactive Waste. The NRC?s proposal would 
allow it to be disposed of in our local landfills like regular trash. This 
is unacceptable.

                  The NRC is also taking this action behind the backs of the 
American people, under the cover of the COVID-19 pandemic, setting up a 
system that will allow regular trash landfills to start taking nuclear waste 
without their surrounding communities knowing or having input. Stand up to 
the nuclear industry and their friends at the NRC by telling them and your 
members of Congress not to dump radioactive waste in our landfills.

                  We?ll have more updates about this important issue soon. 
In the meantime, we hope you?re staying healthy and safe.

                  Thanks for all you do,

This July, we are hosting our first-ever virtual climate advocacy training: 
a truly global gathering.






                              We have some big news. This July, we will host 
our first-ever virtual climate advocacy training: a truly global gathering.

                              During this moment of physical distancing, we?re 
excited to join together and raise our voices for change.

                              The COVID-19 emergency has shattered our sense 
of normalcy and forced us to grapple with the kind of world we want ? and 
need ? when this crisis is over.

                              We believe that together, we can create a 
world where we rapidly transition away from fossil fuels to end the climate 
crisis, safeguard our health, strengthen our communities? well-being, and 
ensure justice for those who have been marginalized in the past.

            A gas leak killed 12 people and made hundreds sick, but it 
easily could have been prevented. Demand justice!

                 Vladimir,

                  Residents of Viasakhapatnam in India woke up in the middle 
of the night on May 7, 2020 to a white mist that choked them, made them gag 
and burned their eyes. The mist was a dangerous neurotoxin leaked from a 
local plastic factory and it poisoned the air within a two mile radius, 
ultimately claiming 12 lives and sickening hundreds of people. Now it has 
come to light that this plastics factory was not up to code, and should not 
have been operating in the first place. Sign the petition asking for a 
federal investigation into why LG's plastics factory was allowed to operate 
without clearance!

                  Due to expansion of their operations, the electronics 
company LG was required by law to file for a federal environmental 
clearance. But they never did. Instead, they decided to illegally cut 
corners and only obtain permits on a state level ? which require far fewer 
safety checks and assessments. Now, 12 people are dead and it's partly 
because this industrial heavyweight was too lazy and cheap to ensure their 
safety.

                  This cannot stand. LG prioritized monetary gain over human 
lives and the health of our planet, and they must be held responsible. 
Demand a federal investigation into why this LG factory was allowed to 
operate without federal permits, so that they are held accountable and also 
so that this dangerous loophole is finally closed!

                  Thank you,

                         Kelsey B.

                  P.S. 12 people died just because this corporation was too 
lazy and cheap to pay for proper safety precautions. Sign the petition for 
accountability.

                              One Big Thing:
                              Do you support global worker protections and 
rights as COVID-19 impacts livelihoods?

                              Join Us & Take our Poll


                              What is it?
                                a.. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to 
affect everyday life across the globe, workers? rights have come under fire. 
With stores, shops, and malls closing their doors to practice social 
distancing, there has been a global drop in demand for many everyday items. 
Down the supply chain, many of the workers who produce these items are being 
laid off, often without pay or compensation for the goods they already 
produced.
                                b.. In Bangladesh, many garment 
manufacturers were not paid for the work they had already completed because 
of lower global demand. This has led to the firing or furlough of more than 
one million Bangladeshi garment workers since the start of COVID-19.
                                c.. The Chinese government also forcibly 
relocated over 30,000 Muslim Uighurs to keep factories open in COVID-19 
affected areas which reflects China?s complete disregard for worker?s 
rights.
                                d.. Migrant workers have particularly been 
impacted by COVID-19.  In India, an estimated 139 million internal migrant 
workers have been impacted.  And cross-border migrants, numbering more than 
160 million worldwide, have suffered as host countries have not provided 
adequate protections or deported them.  This has been an acute problem in 
Middle Eastern countries.
                              Why is it important?
                                a.. Low wage workers around the world in 
many sectors have been severely impacted by the sudden impact of COVID-19. 
Government and company responses have been varied depending on the country, 
but the most vulnerable of workers in the developing world fear not only for 
their jobs, but for food security and health.
                                b.. During a public health crisis, 
maintaining workers? rights is just as much the task of the government as it 
is the companies themselves. When demand unexpectedly drops, both parties 
should work together to find solutions which value their employees? rights 
and compensates them fairly for work already completed.
                                c.. Consumers should have an awareness of 
where and how their goods and services come from and adapt purchasing 
practices to fully respect understand workers? rights.
                                d.. Authoritarian regimes are using 
coronavirus as a means to limit basic rights ? freedom of speech, freedom of 
assembly, freedom of the press.  In places like Burma (Myanmar) and 
Cambodia, the governments and local industries are taking advantage of the 
crisis to suppress unions and workers.
                              What can you do?
                                a.. Check out some of the companies with the 
best business practices and some companies with the worst.
                                b.. Learn more on workers? rights from 
Solidarity Center and the United Nations Global Compact

     Covid-19 and the Environment



      The world faces an unprecedented moment of crisis. The COVID-19 
pandemic is pushing humanity?s resilience to the limit and has significantly 
impacted the wider social, economic and environmental fabric of our world. 
This urgent healthcare emergency has once more put long-term sustainable 
development on the agenda, according to the Sustainable Development Goals.



      CENN believes that civil society organisations and volunteers have a 
critical role to play in supporting community action and ensuring that those 
who are most often marginalised are not left behind during this challenging 
time. With this in mind, CENN along with up to 500 other organizations, has 
joined the joint civil society statement on COVID-19 calling for solidarity 
in the face of the global pandemic.



      COVID-19 has taught us all vital lessons about the world we live in 
and exposed cracks in our systems. CENN has been actively involved in 
COVID-19 responses with communities on the ground and has been closely 
monitoring the environmental impact. It becomes increasingly clearer that 
Climate and Environmental justice should be a priority on everyone?s agenda.



      We understand that the world cannot go back to the way things were 
prior to the pandemic and Georgia is no exception. Any economic stimulus 
must ensure that the economy of the future is sustainable and just, that 
moves subsidies away from fossil fuel industries and creates millions of 
sustainable jobs. As the UNSG and others are saying, we need to ?recover 
better? at a time when there is a major risk that we go back to business as 
usual and lock in high carbon emissions and infrastructure.



      CENN?s actions in response to COVID-19



      Increased need for joint community action for sustainable development



      In response to the global COVID-19 solidarity movement, we compiled 
important lessons we observed during this pandemic and the changes we are 
working towards. Some recent examples from CENN activities include working 
on air pollution, developing a green budget, as well as various 
community-based initiatives in terms of a rapid response to COVID-19, 
including providing WaSH items to the most vulnerable groups.



      New research published in the journal Science of the Total Environment 
has found that long-term exposure to air pollution may be ?one of the most 
important contributors to fatality caused by the COVID-19 virus? around the 
world. As the study?s authors put it: ?Poisoning our environment means 
poisoning our own body, and when it experiences a chronic respiratory 
stress, its ability to defend itself from infections is limited.? In 
response to this, in May 2020 CENN, with the support of UNEP, began 
providing support to the Government of Georgia in order to harmonize 
Georgian legislation in regards to vehicle emission standards with EU 
requirements. The new emission standards aim to protect the health of the 
public and the environment from the harmful effects of transport emissions.



      The global pandemic has also clearly shown that we cannot afford to 
ignore sustainability when planning new policies and redistributing scarce 
resources. Better policy coherence is essential for an effective and 
efficient response to the challenges that we as a humanity are facing today. 
With this goal in mind, since February 2020, CENN in cooperation with the 
Environmental Protection and Natural Resources Committee under the 
Parliament of Georgia, began working on a Green Budget Project. The project 
aims at identifying challenges in terms of budgeting environmental 
priorities in Georgia, and preparing recommendations for 2021 budget 
procedures, thus creating the first precedent of an environmentally 
responsible budget in Georgia.



      The coronavirus pandemic and its consequences has increased the need 
for joint community action in support of the most vulnerable members of 
society. In response to the urgent demand, CENN through its ongoing projects 
(EU-supported project ?Water for the Poor?, EU-ENPARD supported projects in 
Keda and Tsalka, and Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) funded project 
?Sustainable Forest Management for Rural Development?) has organized various 
COVID-19 response activities throughout Georgia. As a result, a total of 
more than 1000 beneficiaries, including large families, socially vulnerable 
people and older people living alone were provided with disinfectant 
solutions, masks, and other personal hygiene items to protect against 
themselves against the virus. The beneficiaries were from Kvemo Kartli (a 
quarantine zone) and high mountainous regions of Georgia and villages in 
Kakheti. In addition, in partnership with CENN?s Local Action Groups (LAGs) 
in Keda and Tsalka municipalities, launched a COVID-19 rapid response 
project and based the activities on community needs. It is important to note 
that LAGs established under the EU-ENPARD programme based on the LEADER 
approach enable local people to make decisions concerning local 
socio-economic, cultural, and environmental issues.



      Building back better



      The SDGs provide a roadmap for the future we want to see, and this 
pandemic has taught us that policy coherence and a focus on the pledge to 
Leave No One Behind is absolutely critical. COVID-19 is yet another example 
that no single stakeholder alone is able to solve the problems that we as 
humanity are facing. CENN is committed to the multi-stakeholder approach and 
hereby states its readiness to further cooperate with the government as well 
as the private sector in achieving long-term sustainability. We are ready 
and committed to build back better, guided by the principles and the 
commitments in the Sustainable Development Goals of universality, 
collaboration, human rights, interconnectedness and to leave no-one behind.

                  Dear friends,

                  These are the last words of George Floyd, a 46-year-old

                  please sir
                  please
                  please
                  please I can't breathe"

                  Then his eyes shut and the pleas stop. George Floyd was 
pronounced dead shortly after.

                  Right now, we have a choice. This can just be one more 
tragic death at the hands of US police -- or the moment for change.

                  We are a movement of more than 60 million people -- when 
we all speak up, we are deafening. So let's raise our voices to join 
everyone calling for an end to these racist killings, and push those in 
power to do the same.

                  Sign this open letter with one click, and when it's 
massive, Avaaz will publish it in major US newspapers and websites around 
the world. Let it be an anthem to end the killing and honour all those we've 
already lost.

                        Add your name

                        As people of the world, we grieve the senseless loss 
of another life at the hands of US police.

                        We stand in community with everyone who is hurting.

                        These brutal killings must end. Each is a wound to 
the heart of our humanity and a shameful, indelible mark on that great flag 
of the United States of America.

                        Racism thrives in the company of silence -- so we 
will not stay quiet. Racism is a problem that belongs to us all. It is our 
fight.

                        But we will not allow that fight to become hatred, 
for then we are no wiser than those whose hearts we seek to change. In the 
words of Dr. Martin Luther King: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only 
light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

                        It is in this spirit that we call on all those in 
power to act NOW, and hold President Trump and US state and local 
governments accountable to:

                          a.. Ensure all officers involved in the killing of 
George Floyd face legal due process,
                          b.. Expel and prosecute officers for even one 
instance of excessive force or the failure to prevent it,
                          c.. Ensure every police killing is independently 
and transparently investigated.
                        We pledge to do our part, meeting the fear, anger, 
and ignorance of racism with all the hope, love, and strength of our 
humanity.

                        Rest in Power, George Floyd.
                        It will not be in vain.

                              Add your name



                  With endless hope,

                  Mike, Marie, Meetali, Sarah, Andrew, Ricken, Bert and the 
whole team at Avaaz.
