Agricultural giants used every trick in the book - even the war in Ukraine - to convince European leaders to ditch a new climate law protecting nature on farms. [1] But the WeMove Europe community carried the truth to Brussels on a huge, people-powered wave, and now we're just a step away from getting the laws we need. Agricultural giants lobbied hard to make sure this new law would never see the light of day. They spread the lie that we need to destroy more nature, to have more land to grow food and that this is how we would protect our food supply. For a while, they were winning and convinced EU leaders to postpone this law twice! But we know the climate crisis is the real threat to our food supply. We're already seeing droughts and heat waves making farmers' jobs even harder in Europe and affecting food supplies across the continent. [2] We need to protect nature like trees, which, as our earth's lungs, absorb greenhouse gases and fight climate change. So together, we made sure that EU leaders heard the truth. We sent hundreds of tweets to the Environment Commissioner, Virginijus Sinkevi?ius, telling him how important defending Europe's nature is for our future. He agreed: we need new laws to restore nature! [3] We gathered over 100,000 signatures and, together with our partners, convinced the Vice-President of the European Commission, Frans Timmermans, to announce the new law. He said, "the citizens of Europe have demanded this." [4] The Restore Nature Law will be the first in 30 years to stop wildlife from disappearing in the EU: a massive win for nature. [5] Farmers will be forced to leave land free for trees and hedges and cut their use of chemical pesticides by half. The changes will help reduce the greenhouse gases that cause climate change and support the recovery of vital insect populations, like bees. [6] Agricultural giants would have rather grabbed this land to make more profits. They want to use this land to produce more food, using industrial methods, artificial fertilisers and chemical pesticides. We supported the ways of family farmers instead. They are the experts leading the way, proving that we can grow enough food without damaging the planet. Now, with this proposal, we are even closer to making their way of farming in harmony with nature the norm.

Message-ID: This weekend, we celebrate our independence. Many of us are hitting the road for the first time in a long time to see friends and family. But with gas prices rising, and our wallets paying the price, you might be having second thoughts. Most of the big oil and gas companies posted huge profits in 2021, the highest profits seen in years. Yet, as they profit, energy prices for families are going up, with higher prices for gasoline, home heating oil and other fossil-fuel energy. Even with US oil and gas production at near record levels, Americans haven?t been spared from volatile fossil fuel prices. That?s why it?s time for us to declare our independence from fossil fuels, and make the biggest investments in climate, justice, clean energy, and jobs we?ve ever seen. Sign our petition urging Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and members of the Senate to pass $555 billion in climate investments right now. Clean energy, not more drilling for oil and gas, will protect Americans from the volatile and dangerous fossil fuel economy. Wind, solar, and other renewable sources, are homegrown, affordable, and create good-paying jobs here in the US. We don?t need to import it, and it?s not subject to the wild fluctuations of the global fossil fuel markets and supply chain disruptions. The clean energy and climate provisions under consideration in the Senate would reduce annual US. oil consumption by 180 million barrels per year by 2030 ? which, for example, is twice what we were importing from Russia. No one should be getting rich from our misery, but that?s exactly what the fossil fuel companies are trying to do. And while big oil and gas enjoy record profits , Americans get more hurricanes, floods, wildfires and heatwaves, made worse by accelerating climate change. That needs to stop. It?s why we need the Senate to pass historic investments in climate, justice, clean energy, and jobs right now for our energy independence. Sign our petition urging the Senate to act now on climate change right here.

Sign Now At least 53 migrants from Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras were found dead in an abandoned, overheated tractor-trailer, in the largest single human smuggling death in the United States.

We need immigration reform now -- it will literally save lives. Sign the petition to urge Congress to pass immigration reform! Immigration is not an easy decision -- people are often forced to do it for their own safety, or that of their families. Others choose to do it because it is their only option for accessing resources. No matter what, it should not be a death sentence.

Costco is Hurting the Animals It Sells as Meat. Demand Government Action Now! Sign Now Costco is one of the largest membership-based grocers and retail stores in the U.S. ? and even the world. One of Costco's biggest claims to fame is its low-price meats sold at its many warehouse-esque stores. That includes cheap hot dogs as well as whole rotisserie chicken meals sold for just $4.99 a piece. But this low price comes with a cost of its own: the mistreatment of animals. Undercover footage by the organization Mercy for Animals reveals the agonizing conditions these birds endure. And sadly, millions of birds are going through this: just last year alone, Costco sold approximately 106 million rotisserie chickens in its stores. Farmers intentionally push chickens to become so large so quickly, that it's impossible for the animals to stand on their own two legs, causing them to collapse. That leaves the immobilized animals to painfully starve to death, lying on floors filled with feces, and developing bloody open wounds from being unable to move or turn. Now Costco is facing lawsuits claiming it "illegally neglects and abandons its chickens." The new lawsuit also alleges that Costco's top executives "caused, [are] aware of, and consciously disregarded clear signs of Costco's ongoing mistreatment of chickens." Now that we have evidence that Costco is acting inhumanely towards animals, the U.S. government must act. Sign the petition to demand that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration investigate Costco and its chicken suppliers, and hold them accountable! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S.

Last week I wrote to you to tell you about some new research that reveals despite their public claims of going green, Adani is building and expanding 17 coal mines in the Asia-Pacific region. It?s going to be a disaster for the planet and the further extraction of coal would be sure to tip us into irreversible climate chaos. The banks and investors financing these coal mines will be watching closely on the day of the AGM, July 26th. They expect the conversation will focus on profits and projections. Let?s make sure Adani doesn't get away with greenwashing this event and shine a spotlight on the violence, death and destruction that its fossil fuel expansion is locking in. Will you sign the petition calling on banks and investors to pull out of Adani now? The Adani Group is responsible for horrific human rights atrocities and the plans to expand across the Asia-Pacific region has to be stopped in its tracks. over 38,000 people have signed the petition calling on banks and investors to pull out of Adani, will you join them? The company is expecting a day of good PR to secure the finance they need to build these new and expanded coal mines. Let?s put a stop to the plans to lock the world into a certain climate catastrophe. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Adani's on a coal mine expansion rampage, with 17 new and expanded coal mines in the Asia-Pacific region. It will spell certain climate catastrophe. Over the weekend, Adani announced the date for its big annual meeting. Can you help make sure Adani doesn't get away with corporate greenwashing? Tell banks, investors, asset managers and pension fund managers to stop financing and supporting Adani. Sign the petition In case you missed it, here's the email we sent last week: you've played a crucial role in stalling Adani's notorious Carmichael coal mine. But shocking new analysis shows that Adani has plans for 16 other coal mines across the Asia-Pacific region. To finance these mines Adani needs to persuade investors that it's committed to a green transition. It will try to do so at its annual shareholder meeting. The Adani Group is going into a greenwash overdrive. The AGM is a rare chance for you, Vladimir and I to expose Adani's blatant lies and shine a spotlight on all the banks and investors helping Adani to build the new coal mines. Will you sign the petition demanding investors like Blackrock CEO- Larry Fink, Vanguard CEO- Mortimer J. Buckley, Pimco CEO- Emmanuel Roman step away from any involvement with the Adani Group? CEO Gautam Adani is already the fifth richest person in the world. And yet is seeking finance from US and European banks and investors to grow his vast wealth, by building more planet-wrecking coal mines. Just last week the streets of Sri Lanka?s capital Colombo were alive with protestors against Adani?s illegal and corrupt dealmaking. "Naturally we want a sustainable solution to the current energy crisis in Sri Lanka. However, in the current situation, it is vital that we do not let any corruption go unchecked. Adani is a company known for dubious practices. Sri Lanka deserves better." ? Serena Burgess, protesting mother Adani has huge plans to expand coal mines across Asia-Pacific. But it?s not just carbon emissions that should be cause for concern for investors: it has a horrific track record of violence, exploitation, corruption, land-grabbing - the list goes on. There are incredible stories of courage and resistance standing up against this company that has torn up ancestral lands of the Wangan and Jagalingou Traditional Owners in Australia, to the Indigenous Adivasi communities in India. But it?s happening in places far from where the deals are being made by CEOs and business people from Wall Street, to the City of London. The likes of Blackrock CEO- Larry Fink, Vanguard CEO- Mortimer J. Buckley, Pimco CEO- Emmanuel Roman would rather we stay quiet about it. We cannot let Adani?s record of human rights abuses against Indigenous communities, or the inevitable death and destruction the mines will cause go unnoticed. That is where you come in Vladimir. People-power recently forced Deutsche Bank to pull out of financing the Whitehaven coal mine, due to public pressure from our friends at Market Forces and SumOfUs members. Let's do it again. Adani has had its share of bad news days. It needs a good day of public relations for the AGM. So it?s up to us to shine a light on the horrifying reality of what the company is responsible for.

All Children Deserve Social-Emotional Learning Skills to Reduce Violence and Build Supportive Communities Sign Now The vast majority of Americans have been left reeling in the wake of the Supreme Court's disastrous ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade and national reproductive rights. But sadly, it's not the only horrific decision to come out of the Supreme Court recently. Just before it stamped out Roe, the court also went after states' abilities to enact gun safety legislation. And it basically said: "No." In a year that has already seen numerous gruesome mass shootings, including in a Texas elementary school, we have to honestly address the unique ? and preventable ? tragedy of gun violence in the U.S. We need more gun safety regulations. And we also need better social-emotional learning programs for kids ? especially if the Supreme Court won't let us enact other gun safety laws right now. Social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculums help teach young people healthy, safe ways to express themselves and de-escalate intense emotions. It involves teaching kids to feel empathy for others and awareness of their own feelings, as well as learning tactics to manage their emotions and interpersonal skills to resolve conflicts peacefully. The results are huge benefits all around: SEL helps students develop strong, vibrant relationships within supportive communities, improves mental health, and reduces both self-harm and violence against others. It even improves academic performance by creating a more productive learning environment! It should be obvious that all children deserve this sort of emotional training. But strangely, some extreme right-wing groups oppose both SEL and gun safety regulations. Instead, they prefer adding more guns to the equation, by arming teacher or guards. But as we all saw in Uvalde, Texas, even police with guns did not stop the mass shooter for 12 minutes while he was gunning down children. Clearly, police do not prevent gun violence, in schools or elsewhere. But social-emotional learning could. We can't let these extreme right-wing voices drown out the voices of reason: our voices. Sign the petition to urge all 50 U.S. states to fully fund social-emotional learning programs in schools, led by qualified counselors, in order to prevent more horrible violence! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. We need gun safety laws. And we also need to teach kids how to manage their emotions and healthily communicate with others. Sign the petition now.

Please help by making a donation now! Share Tweet Forward A crippling drought is devastating the wildlife of the Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa. To help the animals survive, we have been installing waterhole pumps across Addo's vast terrain (633 square miles or 1,640 square kilometers) to provide water, helping to ensure the survival of many species. Vladimir, in 2021, your donations helped us install six state-of-the-art solar-powered water pumps to keep Addo's main camp waterholes full (with great success!). Now, a severe lack of water in Darlington, the northern-most part of the park, needs our URGENT attention. Please help by making a donation now! Addo is situated in South Africa's Eastern Cape province, which because of climate change is battling its worst drought in 100 years. Addo reached out to us asking for help to provide water for elephants. Obviously, it is vitally important to ensure sufficient water flows once more for these parched elephants and other wildlife. We acted immediately, rushing a team to the region. The good news is that our investigation showed an immense water reservoir lying deep beneath the surface. ?We discovered that if we can drill down 115 feet (35 meters), we can provide 1,320 gallons (5,000 liters) of water an hour - an enormous boon for the animals that could be the difference between life and death,? says campaign director, Luke Barritt. Until recently, diesel-powered water pumps would have been used, but in these days of climate change, we must provide a cleaner solution - solar-powered water pumps, because they are non-polluting. These pumps are also quieter, an important factor because wild animals get easily stressed by noise. Vladimir, if we can raise $8,000 (?6,500), we can give Addo's Darlington elephants and other wildlife enough water for them to be able to drink and bathe to their heart's content. Please, will you help us dig deep for water and install two new solar-powered pumps for waterholes? Please help by making a donation now! The speed at which global temperatures are rising is terrifying, and water is becoming increasingly scarce as droughts become more frequent, intense, and longer-lasting. We work with this issue every day, and every day, we become more alarmed by how serious water shortages are for animal survival. Prolonged dry spells pose life-threatening consequences to African elephants, the largest land mammals on the planet, who can drink up to 200 liters (around 50 gallons) of water daily. Water is also crucial for them to stay calm and do what elephants love to do - wallow in mud. Vladimir, the water shortage in Addo is especially poignant to us. In 2018, our supporters financed the successful relocation of a 28-strong elephant family to Darlington to ease pressure on the park's central region. Before the relocation, no elephants had lived in Darlington for over 150 years, after being hunted to extinction. We named the family the ?Davies herd? after our founders, Brian and Gloria Davies, who are passionate about these magnificent creatures. Now, the elephants are desperately searching for their most critical life source, only to find empty waterholes and bone-dry riverbeds. African savanna elephant populations have dwindled by at least 60% over the last 50 years. They are now listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. The biggest threats faced by these giants are habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict and wildlife crime - primarily, poaching for the illegal ivory trade. Despite anti-poaching efforts, the animals remain at greater risk of extinction than ever before? There are only about 415,000 elephants left across the continent of Africa. Just under 100 years ago, there were more than 10 million. About 600 elephants roam Addo. We must do everything in our power to protect and preserve these remaining few by providing them with their most fundamental and urgent needs. Please, Vladimir, donate right now to get life-sustaining water pumped and flowing for desperately thirsty elephants. Saving animals and the planet, Campaigner P.S. in warm weather, elephants can lose up to 10% of the water in their bodies in a single day. That's the equivalent of nearly two full bathtubs. Digging holes to uncover any drop of water they can find has become the norm for Addo's Darlington elephants. This is nowhere near enough to quench their thirst, particularly during this drought. Climate change is making drought more serious every year. We have to find solutions or lose Africa?s wildlife. Your donation will mean water for elephants, the most precious gift of all, life itself.

If Texas Plans to Build This Many Electric Car Charging Stations, So Can Other States! Demand Expanded Green Transportation Infrastructure! Sign Now Have you ever dreamed of driving an electric car? Well, if you live in Texas, it will soon be easier than ever for that dream to become a reality. The Lone Star State plans to place charging stations for electric cars every 50 miles on most interstates, with the goal of supporting one million electric vehicles! This is a massive victory for curbing greenhouse gas emissions. The Texas Department of Transportation's five-year plan is bold, and demonstrates a commitment to climate action: to create a broad network of chargers throughout the state, making it easier for people in electric vehicles to drive on most routes, even in rural areas. While Texas is a big carbon culprit, California, Washington, and Hawaii also have some of the highest transportation emissions of all states in the country. It is time that the country's biggest gas-guzzlers step up so that more people can use electric car alternatives! If Texas can do it -- a southern state notoriously slow to acknowledge climate impacts and mitigate them -- there is no excuse for any other state's government not to! Sign now to demand California, Washington, and Hawaii's Departments of Transportation invest in similar efforts to dramatically increase the number of electric charging stations in their state! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Texas has an ambitious plan for electric vehicles, and we are here for it. Sign now.

Retweet Avaaz Or, if you?re not on Twitter -- you can click here to share our story on Facebook and here on Whatsapp. ------------------------------------------------ Dear friends, This might just be the most impactful thing Avaaz has ever done. For years, mega tech platforms like Facebook, YouTube and TikTok have been making billions while flooding the world with disinformation, hate speech and other harmful content. But after years of incredible campaigning, the European Union has just agreed on a historic law that will force Big Tech to change ? and this could be the start of a global revolution to protect us all! We can honestly say Europe?s new Digital Services Act wouldn?t look like it does without Avaaz. We ran massive investigations into the harms caused by social media and shared our findings everywhere. Then we drafted groundbreaking legislative proposals on how to protect our societies as well as freedom of speech, and ran a huge push to get key lawmakers on board! And it worked! EU Commission Vice-President Margrethe Vestager endorsed our call for a ?Paris Agreement of the Internet?. And EU Commissioner Thierry Breton was so convinced by our research that he went on TV to talk about it the day after we met him! EU leaders publicly thanking Avaaz and its members For over four years, our movement - together with an inspiring civil society coalition ? has been at the forefront of this battle to protect citizens and democracy. Read on for the full story of how a few dozen activists, researchers, and hundreds of thousands of Avaaz members across the world took on some of the most powerful corporations that have ever existed ? and won! 2018: A Hundred Zuckerbergs (yikes!) It all started almost exactly 4 years ago, in 2018: disinformation was creating havoc in democracies, and hate speech was being weaponised around the world. In April that year, we launched our first global call to platforms and regulators to "Fix Fakebook" and rein in big tech. Over 1 million people joined that call, and we flooded Washington and Brussels with over a hundred cardboard cutouts of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The image landed in media all over the world, including on the front page of the New York Times. We travelled to Silicon Valley to meet with top executives from Facebook, Twitter and Google, trying to convince them to act. But we were banned from some of their offices, and had to hold meetings in the car park! It was clear that the companies weren?t serious about tackling the toxicity on their platforms. We needed to change the laws that governed them. Next stop: the European Union. 2019: Diagnosing the Problem, and Defining the Fix In 2019, many EU lawmakers didn?t really understand the problem. The idea that lies and conspiracy theories going viral online were having a serious impact on our democracies was contested ? and without proof, the regulators wouldn?t act. So, inspired by a Lithuanian project, we hired researchers we called ?elves? to investigate internet ?trolls? and reveal the scale of the disinformation problem, especially the impact it was having in Europe. Working from a war room in Brussels, our team of 30 ?elves? uncovered what 30,000 Facebook monitors and their team of experts seemed to have missed: huge networks, using fake accounts and inauthentic pages, spreading toxic lies and hatred across Europe ahead of crucial elections. Following our investigation, Facebook took down networks that could reach an estimated 3 BILLION (!!!!) views in a single year!! A glimpse into our anti-disinformation war room in Brussels As election day approached, top EU politicians, journalists and security experts were coming to our war room almost every day for information and briefings. Our work made headline news all over the world warning millions of Europeans of the disinformation threat just before the elections. Even Facebook publicly thanked us! Exposing these networks helped Europe dodge a bullet in the elections. But top EU officials were shocked by what we had found and asked us: what could be done? So, working with social media insiders, academics and lawmakers, we developed research-backed proposals to clean up social media while protecting freedom of speech: 1.. Detox the algorithm. Stop platforms from making dangerous disinformation and harmful content go viral just to keep us hooked to our screens 2.. Correct the record. Show every single person who sees disinformation a correction from an independent fact-checker right in their news feeds. TIME Magazine called it a ?radical new proposal that could curb fake news on social media? But with a new virus emerging in Wuhan and the US elections looming, we were about to see some of the most terrifying impact of disinformation yet. 2020: Social media vs. Democracy and Public Health As Covid-19 spread across the world, lies and conspiracy theories about it also went viral. Our researchers released a bombshell investigation showing how Facebook was an epicentre of Covid misinformation. On the same day, Facebook announced that they would direct anyone who engaged with Covid misinformation to fact-checks on the World Health Organisation?s website. This was the first time Facebook had EVER done this! Politico wrote: ?Thing is, it wasn?t the globe?s most powerful tech regulator that forced Facebook to acknowledge flaws in its policy ? it was campaign group Avaaz...? We didn?t stop there, and in another hard-hitting report showed how Facebook?s algorithm itself became a global threat to public health - spreading our findings all over the media and presenting them directly to key EU and US officials. 2020 was also the year of the US presidential election. A year before the vote, we?d found there was already more disinformation on Facebook than found in the three months ahead of the 2016 elections! We hired a dedicated team of US researchers, and in the run up to the election, we produced over 40 investigations on the rampant disinformation, hate, violence and extremism that was spreading online, pushing Facebook to act on many harmful networks that had spread dangerous content to millions. And just around the elections, Facebook launched emergency measures, throttling the spread of many of the pages we had identified as repeat misinformers, making it harder for them to flood social media with lies and hatred before the vote. But shortly after election day, Facebook withdrew some of the measures they?d put in place! It was a disaster. A tsunami of lies claiming that the election had been stolen flooded Americans? social media feeds. We investigated many of the networks making these lies go viral, and one of the biggest we found, tied to Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon, was banned from Facebook for spreading false claims about the vote. But the damage was already done. On January 6th, protestors convinced that the election had been stolen violently stormed the US Congress. Our researchers jumped into action and within days were able to show to show how Facebook had been used to stoke the violence. Our report was covered in a slew of outlets, from AP to Time, Washington Post, and more, and our research was mentioned repeatedly in a Congressional hearing at which Zuckerberg and other tech executives testified. 2021 and Beyond: Towards a "Paris Agreement for the Internet" There was no longer any doubt about the threat that disinformation posed. But we still didn?t have the laws we needed. Then came a chance ? the EU was developing the Digital Services Act, a new law to govern digital technology. As we met with decision-maker after decision-maker to argue that the legislation should focus on holding platforms accountable for harms created by their algorithms, slowly the idea started to gain traction. And we didn?t let go ? showing up at every single meeting, event or video call with our findings, and publishing ever more evidence exposing how platforms were failing. We even organised a conference on disinformation bringing together some of the most influential EU politicians and executives from Facebook and Twitter to make our case! Despite frantic lobbying by the social platforms, things began to move in our direction. But it wasn?t a done deal ? so to show public support, we commissioned a huge poll that found 83% of people in Germany, France, Italy and Spain wanted platforms to change their algorithms if they were found to be amplifying harmful content. We even delivered messages to politicians from Avaaz members across Europe in beautifully made books! Click on the image to read the book! And then, after years of work, months of negotiations, and a final stretch of over 16 hours of non-stop discussions in Brussels, it happened: officials and lawmakers agreed upon a historic law that holds platforms accountable for the harms caused by their algorithms. Here?s what the law will do when it goes into effect: a.. Detoxify the algorithm ? Online platforms like Facebook will have to take responsibility for the harms they cause to our societies, for example, for the way their systems help spread toxic content across the internet; b.. Open the black box ? Allow independent auditors, researchers and civil society to scrutinise platforms? actions and uncover their wrongdoings. c.. Impose big sanctions ? Platforms will face fines up to 6% of their global income (yes we're talking billions of dollars here) if they don?t comply with the rules. d.. A step closer to stopping surveillance advertising ? Ban the targeting of people with ads based on their political beliefs or gender, and end the exploitation of children?s data entirely. This is a massive step forward for the future of the internet and democracy. It could be the tipping point to help us restore the dream of an internet that makes us more connected, better informed, and more empowered as citizens. Of an internet that is FOR US and not AGAINST US. We?ve been on the forefront of this fight alongside an incredible set of organisations, researchers, whistleblowers and, yes, politicians. But changing how these huge corporations operate will not happen overnight. Our movement will celebrate this massive win, and then keep fighting for the internet that the world needs, and our people deserve.

That?s four times the oil spilled by Exxon Valdez! It?s a ticking time bomb that could be the biggest environmental catastrophe in history, but no one is talking about it. And the United Nations can?t scrape together enough donations to clean it up before disaster strikes. We?re going to change that. If thousands of us come together to create a citizen cleanup fund, then campaign to demand our governments match our donations 100:1, we can help get the UN the money they need to start the clean up straight away. We have no time to spare ? experts say they have to start within weeks or it might be too late. Vladimir, can you give $2 to help stop this ticking time bomb? If you?ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your donation will go through immediately. Donate $3 now Donate another amount Scientists are sounding the alarm that at any moment, the ship could disintegrate or explode, causing 10 million people to lose access to drinking water. It would destroy the Red Sea?s coral reef, mangroves, and turtle nesting sites?forever. And it would disrupt traffic into a critical Yemeni port for several months, cutting off humanitarian aid to Yemen ? which 20 million people rely on to survive. If disaster strikes, it would cost $20 BILLION to clean up the mess. The good news is the UN has a plan in place to assess the safety of the tanker, then carefully transfer the oil to a temporary, safe vessel. The empty tanks would then be cleaned to remove any remaining oil and the ship would be made into scrap. But they can?t start until they raise the funds to do it. Out of desperation, the UN just launched a crowdfunding campaign to help, but without massive support it won?t be enough. The cleanup must be complete before the fall, when currents and high winds make the worst case scenario even more likely. But our governments are turning their backs on this looming disaster. Together we can start a citizen clean up fund, then use it to lobby our governments to chip in the rest, showing them that citizens around the world won?t rest until we save ourselves from the biggest environmental disaster, ever. Anything extra we raise can be used on critical environmental campaigns worldwide. Can you help? If you?ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your donation will go through immediately.

A year before the vote, we?d found there was already more disinformation on Facebook than found in the three months ahead of the 2016 elections! We hired a dedicated team of US researchers, and in the run up to the election, we produced over 40 investigations on the rampant disinformation, hate, violence and extremism that was spreading online, pushing Facebook to act on many harmful networks that had spread dangerous content to millions. And just around the elections, Facebook launched emergency measures, throttling the spread of many of the pages we had identified as repeat misinformers, making it harder for them to flood social media with lies and hatred before the vote. But shortly after election day, Facebook withdrew some of the measures they?d put in place! It was a disaster. A tsunami of lies claiming that the election had been stolen flooded Americans? social media feeds. We investigated many of the networks making these lies go viral, and one of the biggest we found, tied to Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon, was banned from Facebook for spreading false claims about the vote. But the damage was already done. On January 6th, protestors convinced that the election had been stolen violently stormed the US Congress. Our researchers jumped into action and within days were able to show to show how Facebook had been used to stoke the violence. Our report was covered in a slew of outlets, from AP to Time, Washington Post, and more, and our research was mentioned repeatedly in a Congressional hearing at which Zuckerberg and other tech executives testified. 2021 and Beyond: Towards a "Paris Agreement for the Internet" There was no longer any doubt about the threat that disinformation posed. But we still didn?t have the laws we needed. Then came a chance ? the EU was developing the Digital Services Act, a new law to govern digital technology. As we met with decision-maker after decision-maker to argue that the legislation should focus on holding platforms accountable for harms created by their algorithms, slowly the idea started to gain traction. And we didn?t let go ? showing up at every single meeting, event or video call with our findings, and publishing ever more evidence exposing how platforms were failing. We even organised a conference on disinformation bringing together some of the most influential EU politicians and executives from Facebook and Twitter to make our case! Despite frantic lobbying by the social platforms, things began to move in our direction. But it wasn?t a done deal ? so to show public support, we commissioned a huge poll that found 83% of people in Germany, France, Italy and Spain wanted platforms to change their algorithms if they were found to be amplifying harmful content. We even delivered messages to politicians from Avaaz members across Europe in beautifully made books! Click on the image to read the book! And then, after years of work, months of negotiations, and a final stretch of over 16 hours of non-stop discussions in Brussels, it happened: officials and lawmakers agreed upon a historic law that holds platforms accountable for the harms caused by their algorithms. Here?s what the law will do when it goes into effect: a.. Detoxify the algorithm ? Online platforms like Facebook will have to take responsibility for the harms they cause to our societies, for example, for the way their systems help spread toxic content across the internet; b.. Open the black box ? Allow independent auditors, researchers and civil society to scrutinise platforms? actions and uncover their wrongdoings. c.. Impose big sanctions ? Platforms will face fines up to 6% of their global income (yes we're talking billions of dollars here) if they don?t comply with the rules. d.. A step closer to stopping surveillance advertising ? Ban the targeting of people with ads based on their political beliefs or gender, and end the exploitation of children?s data entirely. This is a massive step forward for the future of the internet and democracy. It could be the tipping point to help us restore the dream of an internet that makes us more connected, better informed, and more empowered as citizens. Of an internet that is FOR US and not AGAINST US. We?ve been on the forefront of this fight alongside an incredible set of organisations, researchers, whistleblowers and, yes, politicians. But changing how these huge corporations operate will not happen overnight. Our movement will celebrate this massive win, and then keep fighting for the internet that the world needs, and our people deserve.

The European Parliament just voted to put billions of euros in the pockets of polluters. [1] New guidelines are set to label toxic fossil gas and nuclear fuels as good 'green' investments. There is no way to sugarcoat it - this is not the result we wanted. It's like giving out Michelin stars to the worst restaurants in town. This is what happened - watch the video! But thanks to our pressure, the result has been really tight - this means we can still call on the politicians behind this plan to reconsider. Will you help do that? Share your outrage on Twitter Share on Facebook This community has been campaigning to close the gap on the climate crisis - not reward the same fuels that got us here. But, whilst we lost this vote, there is so much we achieved by acting together. And it is not over! We needed to stand out to start pushing back against a generation of lies. And you rose to the occasion. In our thousands, we took action together. We were sending tweets, writing emails and calling our politicians. We even produced a viral video that spread the truth online! As the days turned to weeks and weeks into months - we kept stoking that fire for change. Small donations across this community poured in to turn up the heat on our politicians in new ways. We bought media space on major political websites. We placed eye-catching billboards outside the European Parliament. Developed articles with journalists that busted the lies of the big polluters. All to get our message in spaces, places and media these politicians see daily. But we did not stop there. We let the politicians know we were watching by joining forces with grassroots groups and NGOs from across Europe. We even went to Strasbourg to cause a major fuss before the final vote. Over several days we marched, hung giant banners and made human chains outside the European Parliament, and we even crashed the party - storming into the voting room after the vote to make our voices heard. We also went into parliament to put door hangers on MEPs' office doors, and this sparked many conversations to convince those politicians to vote for people and the planet. And it worked. At the start, only 190 Members of the European Parliament were pledging to vote down the labelling of gas and nuclear as 'green' fuels. In the end, we secured 278 votes. That's a direct result of your actions. That's something you can be proud of. We might have lost the vote, but we made some major progress along the way. When the European Parliament committees on Environment and Economic issues met to fix their opinion - they chose to ditch labelling gas and nuclear as green. It was you they sided with - not the big polluters. After those results, the big polluters doubled down on rigging the rules. And ultimately, a few politicians were not brave enough to stand up to them. But the WeMove Europe community is brave. We have always been brave. Together we have worked tirelessly for a Europe that puts people and the planet first. This has seen us take on big polluters time and time again. For now - let's not let the politicians who tanked this get off so easily. The result leaves these politicians in a difficult position. They do not have the legitimacy to push forward as they thought they would. So it's not over. Can you take a second to share your outrage and let them know this is not over? We've set up a page for you to do just that at the click of a button. You can make sure they don't get away scot-free. Share your outrage on Twitter Share on Facebook We need to regroup and work out how to keep up this fight. We might not have won, but there may still be opportunities to switch things around. In the meantime, please share your outrage. Thanks for keeping the fight alive, David (London), Virginia (Madrid), Mika (Bordeaux) and the entire WeMove Europe team P.S. All hope is not lost.

Relentless mobilisation from activists and frontline communities are making the biggest firms rule out insuring this disastrous project. Let's make sure others won't: email their CEOs now to NOT insure this polluting pipeline! SEND YOUR EMAIL One leak from the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) could poison the water of Africa?s largest lake that 40 million people depend on for food, farming and their livelihoods. The pipeline is an unmitigated environmental disaster. With major insurance companies shunning the project because of its dire impact - the list of climate-wrecking firms potentially backing the project is getting smaller and smaller. And without insurance, EACOP will remain a mere pipe dream where it belongs. The good news is that it makes our job easier and easier: our list of targets is getting slimmer every day that passes. Relentless mobilisation from activists and communities on the frontline recently made Munich Re rule out insuring this disastrous project. People power works! Let?s send the message to all the other insurers who are tempted to underwrite the pipeline: hundreds of thousands of people around the world are watching them and public pressure is growing on them like never before. email insurers now to NOT insure this polluting pipeline. The EACOP will be the world?s longest heated crude oil pipeline. This massive pipeline would rip through the heart of Africa ? displacing communities and endangering wildlife, like elephants, giraffes, lions and leopards. Not only would it be grossly irresponsible to build it in the middle of a climate emergency, it runs the risk of poisoning Lake Victoria - Africa?s largest lake, putting 40 million people at risk. Yet that?s exactly what French oil company TotalEnergies and its insurers are trying to do. But the project relies on multiple layers of insurance for its construction phase. And so far, TotalEnergies has failed to find adequate insurance to move the project forward. Over 260 organizations are urgently trying to convince insurers around the world to rule out supporting this disastrous project. And we are nearly there. Last week, thousands of SumOfUs members joined a photo action on social media to pressurize the US insurance broker, Marsh, to stop brokering the pipeline. Since April, our joint efforts with frontline groups and NGOs at #StopEACOP, have forced 8 insurers to step away from the project, including Munich Re, Allianz and the Lloyd?s syndicate Beazley.

Congress must regulate PFAS and prioritize our health. For decades, Americans have unknowingly been ingesting food and water contaminated with toxic chemicals found in everyday goods like nonstick pans, household cleaners, and even dental floss. These chemicals, often known as ?forever chemicals? -- called perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) -- can lead to several dire health problems including liver damage, certain types of cancer, and thyroid disease. Communities across the country -- including those on military bases -- continue to be deeply impacted by this growing public health crisis, but companies like 3M and DuPont are spending billions of dollars to lobby against any regulations of their dangerous chemicals. Our health and wellbeing are not something to be brushed under the rug in favor of corporate money -- we must refuse to jeopardize ourselves for the sake of their bottom line. This is a major national health issue that requires federal protection. Demand Congress regulate PFAS and hold polluting companies responsible now. Add your Name PFAS have contaminated the drinking water of millions of people across America and unsurprisingly the companies that produce household items with these toxic chemicals have known about the health risks for decades. Yet, similar to tobacco companies and Big Oil, they have also knowingly suppressed information that would inform the public about the harm that their products cause. We cannot sit by and watch these corporations actively contribute to this public health crisis to boost their profit margins. It?s time for them to stop playing politics with the lives of every American. We must speak out now to hold the chemical industry accountable for knowingly poisoning people and covering it up. Sign the petition: Congress must regulate PFAS and hold polluting companies responsible. Thank you for taking action.

A Tiny, Mighty Superworm Could Solve Our Waste Crisis... by Gobbling Up Mountains of Trash! Sign Now We are slowly burying ourselves under trash of our own creation. So far, it has looked like there weren't many ways to dig ourselves out. But now we're learning that our greatest ally in unburying ourselves might be a superworm! One of the worst villains in the trash crisis is polystyrene (commonly called styrofoam). As a petroleum-based product, this product is extremely difficult to recycle ? and horrendous for our Earth. Plus, since it's so rigid and dense, it takes up a lot of space, even after it's thrown out! Research suggests styrofoam can take as many as 500 years to break down and decompose ? time we do not have. Lucky for us, beetle larvae called zophobas morio can actually survive by eating polystyrene alone! Of all the countries in the world, the U.S. is one of the most wasteful, accounting for almost 300 million tons of trash each year. This has gotten worse since the 1950s, when companies intentionally shifted towards single-use packaging and containers. That includes styrofoam takeout containers at restaurants, styrofoam cups for picnics, even styrofoam coolers, and much more. This all has to go somewhere ? usually to landfills and the oceans, which causes increased pollution and other environmental problems! And so far, humans have had a hard time figuring out many alternatives. Enter: the superworm. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must team up with this little hero, and fund research about how these worms could help with waste management. Getting our waste crisis under control will help curb the climate crisis, improve human and wildlife health, and clear our beautiful Earth of the trash mountains that plague it. Sign the petition to tell the EPA it must invest in researching this amazing superworm to curb our waste crisis! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S.

But research shows that when girls stay in school, they earn more income for their families, and are greater contributors to their communities and countries. Whether or not a girl stays in school has an astounding effect on not simply her quality of life, but that of her future family. Sign Room to Read's petition today to support girls seeking an education. We must ensure that all girls have the resources they need to continue their education through secondary school. Girls should have all the resources they need to continue their education. ADD YOUR NAME Education is so crucial for girls to discover their own strength, advocate for themselves and create a new and different path from the one that might be forced upon them.

Big chemical companies have convinced the EU Commission to stop labelling GM foods in our supermarkets. There would be no way to know whether we're buying genetically modified food. Our governments still have a chance to make the EU stand up for safe, healthy and transparent food. It's up to us to make sure they do. Sign now In Europe, we have strict regulations on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) ? for our safety and transparency. Genetically modified foods have their DNA changed via genetic engineering - a way that does not occur naturally. But now, big chemical companies have convinced the EU Commission to stop checking and labelling some GMOs. [1, 2] They're trying to increase their profits by getting the "GMO" label off their products. [3] More of us would buy their products without knowing that we're eating GM food. As a result, farmers would start using more patented seeds that rely on toxic pesticides. Many new GM plants are resistant to pesticides, such as those that are "Roundup ready". This could put the fate of our entire food system directly into the hands of Bayer-Monsanto and other big corporations. Deregulating these GMOs would be a huge step backward for farming communities, people and the environment. Our national governments need to stand up for safe, healthy, and transparent food. Only a few do at the moment. That's why it's so important that we send a strong message to all our governments and the EU Commission that we want them to prioritise safety and transparency over corporate profits. Europe, keep checking and labelling GMOs! Exempting new GMOs from the rules is an industry attempt to divert our money and attention away from the real solutions we need. Agroecology and permacultures can lead Europe toward true sustainability - new GMOs cannot. Now, the Commission is gauging public opinion for its deregulation plans. It's running a biassed consultation that's framed almost all questions in a way to support deregulation. [4] Alongside this, our national ministers will discuss their positions within the month! This could be our last chance to raise our voices before the EU moves ahead. Will you add your voice as well? Yes - I want healthy and transparent food! Thank you for fighting for a better Europe, David (London), Aleksandra (Warsaw) and the entire WeMove Europe team References: [1] The GMOs in question are produced with "New Genomic Techniques" (NGTs).

WV Supreme Court decision will cost millions of lives and undermine the health, safety, and future of EVERY single one of us ? especially our KIDS. By blocking the EPA from protecting us from carbon pollution, the court has launched an appalling and immoral attack on our families. But it?s not a surprise. This is the result of a decades-long campaign by polluters to protect their profits and evade accountability. This decision throws down the gauntlet to elected officials at every level in this country. If our elected leaders don?t now use their power to stop pollution, they are endorsing a devastating future for our families and our children. As worried and angry people, the most important thing to do today is NOT BE SILENT. Click here to send a letter to your city, state, and federal elected leaders right now demanding they respond to the Supreme Court?s attack and protect our families from carbon pollution. This is a serious blow to our government?s ability to protect families from carbon pollution. It makes action by elected leaders more urgent than ever. But the truth is that polluters had already succeeded at weakening the Clean Air Act by politicizing and polarizing what were once accepted as bipartisan common-sense: We should protect our health and safety from pollution! That?s why it is so important for more of us to speak out in this moment. We are the majority and we must re-establish that protecting kids from pollution is a no-brainer, which no elected leader should dare oppose. Tell your officials that if they aren?t standing up to protect our future, they are standing against our families. Send a letter right now. The Clean Air Act is a backstop against congressional gridlock ? but it was never supposed to be the only way to protect us from carbon pollution. Transitioning in earnest to 100% clean energy was always going to require a broader set of proactive actions from elected leaders. There is a lot EVERY leader can do, and some of it is already happening: a.. 7 States have committed to 100% clean energy b.. 230 cities and towns and 7 Counties have committed to 100% clean energy ? and 51 of them have already gotten there. c.. More than two dozen states, counties, and cities are suing the biggest fossil fuel companies for lying about the damage they knew they were causing. d.. California is even investigating fossil fuel companies? role in lying to us about plastic pollution. The more of this that happens, at every level, the more difficult it will be for elected leaders to serve polluters, not our families. Now that all of us parents are furious at the actions of the Court, it?s essential that we use that energy to demand the strongest possible action from our elected leaders. Send a letter now.

REGISTER HERE. About the Author: Jeff Cohen is Co-Founder and Policy Director at RootsAction.org. He is a media critic, columnist, documentary filmmaker, and retired journalism professor who founded the media watch group FAIR in 1986. For years, he was a regular pundit on CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC discussing issues of media and politics. About the Book: Producer, pundit, and media critic Jeff Cohen offers a fast-paced romp through the three major cable news channels--Fox, CNN, and MSNBC--and delivers a serious message about their failure to cover the most urgent issues of the day. Published in 2006, the book has a heavy emphasis on the pro-war biases of U.S. television news, with a special focus on the blatant political censorship that Cohen encountered at the hands of MSNBC executives (when he was senior producer of Phil Donahue's primetime show) during the run-up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq. "Television news is so bad, says Cohen, the founder of progressive media watchdog group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), that 'Walter Cronkite would have big trouble getting a job today in TV news.' Thus, the wry media critic kicks off this excellent, high-energy look back at his trials and tribulations at CNN, Fox News and MSNBC. Though opinionated and incisive, Cohen's memoir is not the confession of a tortured progressive; Cohen freely admits to being a 'telebimbo' and a 'well-paid party to the feeding frenzy.' In 1987, Cohen began a stint as a guest on CNN's Crossfire, representing FAIR and progressive concerns; before he knows it, he's an enthusiastic member of the media 'kakistocracy,' the 'rule of the worst.' Doing battle with conservative gadflies Pat Buchanan, Robert Novak and others proves exhilarating, but a disturbing trend of 'genuflecting to the political right' leads CNN executives to replace Crossfire co-host Michael Kinsley with two Democratic centrists. Surprisingly, Cohen finds punditry nirvana as a panelist on Fox News Channel's News Watch, 'the smartest and most balanced show on Fox and perhaps anywhere in cable news.' At the behest of Phil Donahue, Cohen moves to MSNBC, where the handwriting is literally on the wall: at network headquarters, posters celebrate news coverage 'highlights' like the death of Princess Diana and the Columbine shootings. Though he chides himself and his colleagues repeatedly for ignoring real news in favor of sensationalism ('Nuclear tensions rise; we talk sex on Fox'), Cohen's willingness to mire himself in the swamp of infotainment amply mirrors the situation of viewers drawn into the cable news runaround, doomed to get their news from 'three dogs chasing each other's tails to the right.'" ?Publishers Weekly Reserve Your Spot Now and Get Your Book With Plenty of Time to Read it! -------------------------------------------------------- World BEYOND War is a global network of volunteers, chapters, and affiliated organizations advocating for the abolition of the institution of war.

Bring Awareness to Pangolin Trafficking by Making a Pangolin Emoji for World Emoji Day! Sign Now The pangolin is a unique creature -- the nocturnal mammal is known for being secretive and mysterious. The scaly animal can roll up into a ball to protect itself, and lash its sharp tail out at predators. Sadly, pangolins are the most trafficked wild mammals in the world, hunted for their meat, scales, and leather. Their habitats are dwindling, and conservationists say that one of the largest obstacles for saving pangolins is that most people don't even know they exist. We can change that by bringing awareness to these interesting creatures! Sign the petition to make a pangolin emoji for World Emoji Day! If more people understand the threat to pangolins, we can create awareness to fund conservation efforts and dissuade people from purchasing pangolin products. While there are many ways to build awareness, creating an emoji is a simple, fun way to reach millions of people. The group responsible for selecting emojis is called the Unicode Consortium, a nonprofit group of hardware and software companies with the goal of making text and emojis accessible to everyone. World Emoji Day is Sunday, July 17 -- there is no time to lose to get this vital effort to save the pangolin underway! Sign the petition to tell the Unicode Consortium to make a pangolin emoji for World Emoji Day! Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. If more people understand the threat to pangolins, we can create awareness to fund conservation efforts. Sign the petition!

The global food crisis could claim millions of lives and have a devastating impact on the world's most vulnerable populations. But this is not inevitable. Add your voice to our petition urging world leaders to end the hunger crisis by fully funding humanitarian appeals and investing in fair and sustainable global food production. ADD YOUR NAME Today marks Nelson Mandela?s 104th birthday, one of the most important figures of the fight for freedom, justice and dignity. This Mandela Day, people all over the world are celebrating his legacy by shining a light on the issue of food security and demanding urgent action. The hunger crisis is high up on the agenda of our leaders right now, so it?s crucial that we keep up the pressure to get them to act. Vladimir, will you add your name to our petition now? ADD YOUR NAME Here?s what the petition says: Dear world leaders, Urgent action is needed to stop the global hunger crisis. Please fund immediate humanitarian aid for people at risk of famine, starvation and severe malnutrition. Ensure access, trade and flow of food and critical inputs like fertiliser is fair and free. Make investments to scale up food production in vulnerable countries and adapt to climate change. In the wake of the unprovoked attack on Ukraine, food prices are skyrocketing. Recent droughts in North and East Africa and a heatwave in India, are also impacting food prices. Additionally, poor harvests and regional conflicts played a role in making 2022 a bad year for food. Nelson Mandela once said that ?freedom is meaningless if people cannot put food in their stomachs?. Let?s make sure we live up to what he stood for. Together, we can not only stop today?s hunger crisis, but also prevent future ones by tackling the root causes of food insecurity.

Message-ID: No end in sight to WORST DROUGHT IN A CENTURY in South Africa - majestic elephants and their babies, and countless other animals, are DYING!View this email in your browser We URGENTLY need to bore waterholes to SAVE THOUSANDS of LIVES! Please, help us by donating today. Please help by making a donation now! Share Tweet Forward Dear Vladimir, A crippling drought is devastating the wildlife of the Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa. To help the animals survive, we have been installing waterhole pumps across Addo's vast terrain (633 square miles or 1,640 square kilometers) to provide water, helping to ensure the survival of many species. Vladimir, in 2021, your donations helped us install six state-of-the-art solar-powered water pumps to keep Addo's main camp waterholes full (with great success!). Now, a severe lack of water in Darlington, the northern-most part of the park, needs our URGENT attention. Please help by making a donation now! Addo is situated in South Africa's Eastern Cape province, which because of climate change is battling its worst drought in 100 years. Addo reached out to us asking for help to provide water for elephants. Obviously, it is vitally important to ensure sufficient water flows once more for these parched elephants and other wildlife. We acted immediately, rushing a team to the region. The good news is that our investigation showed an immense water reservoir lying deep beneath the surface. ?We discovered that if we can drill down 115 feet (35 meters), we can provide 1,320 gallons (5,000 liters) of water an hour - an enormous boon for the animals that could be the difference between life and death,? says campaign director, Luke Barritt. Until recently, diesel-powered water pumps would have been used, but in these days of climate change, we must provide a cleaner solution - solar-powered water pumps, because they are non-polluting. These pumps are also quieter, an important factor because wild animals get easily stressed by noise. Vladimir, if we can raise $8,000 (?6,500), we can give Addo's Darlington elephants and other wildlife enough water for them to be able to drink and bathe to their heart's content. Please, will you help us dig deep for water and install two new solar-powered pumps for waterholes? Please help by making a donation now! The speed at which global temperatures are rising is terrifying, and water is becoming increasingly scarce as droughts become more frequent, intense, and longer-lasting. We work with this issue every day, and every day, we become more alarmed by how serious water shortages are for animal survival. Prolonged dry spells pose life-threatening consequences to African elephants, the largest land mammals on the planet, who can drink up to 200 liters (around 50 gallons) of water daily. Water is also crucial for them to stay calm and do what elephants love to do - wallow in mud. Vladimir, the water shortage in Addo is especially poignant to us. In 2018, our supporters financed the successful relocation of a 28-strong elephant family to Darlington to ease pressure on the park's central region. Before the relocation, no elephants had lived in Darlington for over 150 years, after being hunted to extinction. We named the family the ?Davies herd? after our founders, Brian and Gloria Davies, who are passionate about these magnificent creatures. Now, the elephants are desperately searching for their most critical life source, only to find empty waterholes and bone-dry riverbeds. African savanna elephant populations have dwindled by at least 60% over the last 50 years. They are now listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. The biggest threats faced by these giants are habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict and wildlife crime - primarily, poaching for the illegal ivory trade. Despite anti-poaching efforts, the animals remain at greater risk of extinction than ever before? There are only about 415,000 elephants left across the continent of Africa. Just under 100 years ago, there were more than 10 million. About 600 elephants roam Addo. We must do everything in our power to protect and preserve these remaining few by providing them with their most fundamental and urgent needs. Please, Vladimir, donate right now to get life-sustaining water pumped and flowing for desperately thirsty elephants. Saving animals and the planet, Campaigner P.S. Vladimir, in warm weather, elephants can lose up to 10% of the water in their bodies in a single day. That's the equivalent of nearly two full bathtubs. Digging holes to uncover any drop of water they can find has become the norm for Addo's Darlington elephants. This is nowhere near enough to quench their thirst, particularly during this drought. Climate change is making drought more serious every year. We have to find solutions or lose Africa?s wildlife. Your donation will mean water for elephants, the most precious gift of all, life itself.

Now we could turn it into powerful ammunition against Putin and his generals. But to be admissible in court, that evidence must be collected and cross-referenced to verify authenticity. It's painstaking work -- but the project we'd help to fund has been successfully tested in other conflicts, like Yemen, and could be used again to investigate other war crimes around the world. Let's make it happen! Ukraine says it has identified over 20,000 potential war crimes -- each the story of a family ripped apart. We can't undo their suffering, but our community can help ensure Putin is fiercely prosecuted. If enough of us chip in we could: a.. Fund war zone investigators and legal experts to gather, process and authenticate public evidence of war crimes and prepare it for court submissions; b.. Create a database to preserve evidence of war crimes for use by international courts and tribunals; c.. Help our 900,000 members in Ukraine, who may have evidence of war crimes, respond to the International Criminal Court's public call for evidence; d.. Supercharge our massive campaign to help hold Putin accountable, and work to end this senseless war; e.. Stand against authoritarian governments, everywhere, with new campaigns to defend democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

After a break from the primary frenzy, Maryland is voting tomorrow! We all know the biggest enemies of progress in America are Republicans, but it?s also been painfully clear that just a few bad Democrats can muck a LOT of things up for all of us. This is our chance to do something about it ? to not just elect any Democrats, but to reshape the party with real progressives to advance our legislative priorities! If you live in Maryland and don?t yet have a plan to vote, make yours now. If you have friends in Maryland, call them and cajole them to the polls! Find out when your own state?s primaries will be held, and identify your current polling place here. It is absolutely critical to show up this year ? and every year ? to build a truly progressive future. Every. Vote. Matters. Check your voter registration status and polling place to ensure you?re prepared for upcoming primaries and the midterms ? and tell your network of like-minded friends and family to do the same on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, at the park, in the bleachers, in the pews, at the dinner table, and anywhere else you can! No matter how unpopular Trump and the GOP seem to be, Americans are still dealing with extreme income inequality, incessant voter suppression schemes, worsening climate change, relentless attacks on reproductive care, and the demonization of marginalized communities, because corrupt Republicans are regularly joined by a few bad-faith Democrats hellbent on protecting the status quo. Fortunately, we have some amazing progressives running for office this year ? but they can?t win if we don?t show up! Even though there?s only one primary tomorrow, civic engagement is still as important as ever. There are tons of virtual Get Out The Vote events happening this weekend that need your participation, including virtual phone banking for Tennessee and letter writing with Swing Left tomorrow. You can filter through events here, but no matter what you choose ? you?re making a difference in this fight. Every meaningful electoral victory shares a common thread: progressives turning out in full force on Election Day. Check your voter registration status at odaction.com/vote and make sure you?re ready to do your part in upcoming primaries and the midterms to win Congress and more. Then share away on social media! PS ? Please don't forget to sign the petition demand Congress impeach Justices Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett for perjury, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Climate change is causing wildfires and deadly heat waves. This is the last chance to reach an agreement among key countries and combat global warming. Call on our governments to take this seriously. SIGN NOW We face the real and current consequences of climate change. France, Spain and Portugal caught fire. The heat wave of temperatures as high as 45 degrees Celsius happens not due to the natural course of things. It is because governments are still not taking the right actions and decisions regarding climate change. Authorities across Europe are battling to control huge wildfires. More than 1000 deaths have been attributed to the nearly week-long heatwave in Portugal and Spain so far. [1] Since May, Europe has been among the fastest ?heat wave hot spots? in the world. Forecasts show no sign of abating, and it's now moving towards Northern countries, with the UK expecting 41 degrees today. [2] European and world leaders must protect our forests as a key line of defence against climate change. We need to treat this as the emergency that it is and push for urgent action. There is still time to limit the disruption and stay on course to avoid the worst-case climate scenarios. [3] As the UN Secretary-General Ant?nio Guterres said ?We have a choice. Collective action or collective suicide. It is in our hands.? [4] Will you call on the EU and European governments to take the climate crisis seriously and protect our forests and planet before it?s too late? Yes - count me in! WeMove Europe is thinking about running this campaign but we need your help in deciding whether we recommend it to the rest of the WeMove Europe community. All we need to know from you is this: if you care about this issue, please sign and forward the petition to your friends.

CENN with the support of the German Government hosted meetings with 85 CSOs from 5 different municipalities in Georgia to support the localisation of SDGs. The training were held in Kutaisi, Zugdidi, Batumi, Telavi and Rustavi. The trainings helped raise awareness about the SDGs and their importance, the role and capabilities of various sectors, especially the civil sector, in achieving the goals. The training aimed to offer municipal non-governmental sector representatives practical steps and best practice examples to ensure their involvement in the localisation and implementation of the SDGs. After the training, long-term cooperation includes joint work with representatives of different sectors of the municipalities. Stakeholders will be able to work on linking local needs with global goals and contribute to developing municipal priority documents in this direction. To achieve the 2030 Agenda (which Georgia joined in 2015), the involvement of the local population and stakeholders is crucial. Localization of the SDGs, i.e. implementation at the local level, means strengthening and facilitating local actors (e.g. local governments, public officials, civil society, businesses, citizens, etc.) to achieve sustainable development goals. At the same time, the term refers to how local actors can harness the 2030 Agenda as a framework for local development policy. The localizing process promotes local development that is responsive to local needs, challenges and opportunities The training was held within the ?Continued Nationalisation of SDGs in Georgia? project, which aims to jumpstart SDG implementation, continue the nationalisation of new targets and commence the localisation of SDGs in Georgia. The program is financed by Deutsche Gesellschaft f?r Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). By strengthening the capacity of the SDG Council?s Secretariat, the thematic Working Groups and non-state stakeholders, the project supports the development of institutions that will ensure the long-term sustainability of the steps taken by the country toward the Sustainable Development Goals; thus, it contributes to the country?s sustainable development.

This three-hour free public event begins on August 6th at noon U.S. Eastern Time. Here is the start time in a lot of time zones: SIGN UP HERE. "The Day After" is a U.S. post-apocalyptic film that first aired on November 20, 1983, on the ABC television network. A record-setting 100 million people watched it in the U.S. - and 200 million on Russian TV during its initial broadcast. The film postulates a fictional war between NATO forces and the Warsaw Pact countries over Germany that rapidly escalates into a full-scale nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union. The action focuses on the residents of Lawrence, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, and of several family farms near nuclear missile silos. Then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan watched the film more than a month before its screening on Columbus Day, October 10, 1983. He wrote in his diary that the film was "very effective and left me greatly depressed," and that it changed his mind on the prevailing policy on a "nuclear war." Maybe this film can still change hearts and minds! Join us to find out! Star power: The film's director, Nicholas Meyer has allowed World BEYOND War to use the 127-minute theatrical cut of the film, and its production researcher, Arthur Kanegis, helped us to get it online. David Swanson has agreed to help moderate. We will have a short welcome on Zoom at 12 pm EDT, and then watch the movie from 12:10 pm to 2:30 pm EDT, followed by presentations and a question-and-answer period with our experts, Vicki Elson of NuclearBan.US and Dr. Gordon Edwards of Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility.

Climate change is causing wildfires and deadly heat waves. This is the last chance to reach an agreement among key countries and combat global warming. Call on our governments to take this seriously. SIGN NOW We are facing the real and current consequences of climate change. Fires burned in France, Spain, Portugal and beyond. The fact that temperatures have hit as high as 45 degrees Celsius is not due to the natural course of things. It is because governments are still not taking enough action on climate change. Authorities across Europe are battling to control huge wildfires. More than 1,000 deaths have been attributed to the week-long heatwave in Portugal and Spain so far. [1] Since May, Europe has been among the fastest warming areas in the world. Forecasts show no sign of abating, and it has even moved towards Northern countries, with the UK reaching 40 degrees. [2] European and world leaders must protect our forests as a key line of defence against climate change. We need to treat this as the emergency that it is and push for urgent action. There is still time to limit the disruption and stay on course to avoid the worst-case climate scenarios. [3] As the UN Secretary-General Ant?nio Guterres said, ?We have a choice. Collective action or collective suicide. It is in our hands.? [4] Will you call on the EU and European governments to take the climate crisis seriously by protecting our forests and planet before it?s too late? Yes - count me in! Rising temperatures caused by climate change evaporate more moisture from the ground, drying out the soil and making vegetation more flammable. At the same time, winter snowpacks are melting earlier, meaning the forests are drier for longer periods. Hot and dry conditions help fires spread faster, burn longer and rage more intensely. [5] Health experts liken the effect of such intense heat on the brain to ?boiling an egg?. [6] Without steep cuts to greenhouse gases causing climate change, heatwaves, wildfires, flooding and drought will only worsen. We need to call on our leaders to take action right now. Europe, take climate action now Thank you for fighting for our planet!

Surging fires are threatening the future of the Amazon, the world's biggest rainforest. [1] The fires are coming sooner, lasting longer and burning wilder than ever. Along with forest fires, at the heart of this destruction is the greedy food industry bulldozing trees to make space for their businesses. It's like watching a car crash in slow motion. But it's not too late for us to grab the wheel and set a better course. A new law is under discussion that would ban the sale of all products linked to deforestation in Europe. The first major vote is coming up fast - our Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) will set the tone for the next decisions. But, politicians are often so into the technical details that they forget what the damage is in real life. We've developed massive billboards to line the streets. And a storybook with messages from thousands of European children to place in MEPs' hands. It's a unique combination. So unique, it will keep the story alive in their minds as they go to vote. The story is written, the designs are in place, and the printers are on standby. But we can't go ahead yet because we're ?16,689 short of covering the cost. If we move together, we can cover these costs and get the plan rolling before the billboard spaces are already booked up! So, how about it, will you chip in a little to help protect our planet? Yes, I'm in for ?5 Yes, I'm in for ?8 Yes, I'm in for ?15 I'll surprise you The food industry is clearing century-old trees to turn forests into giant soy pastures and beef farms. All to sell their food here in Europe - the world's second biggest consumer market. That's why their lobbyists are working flat out - holding meetings behind closed doors with our MEPs to water down this law and protect their profits. To push back, we need to tell the true story. And doing that means making sure every MEP turning up to vote has only one thing in mind - ending forest-killing products in Europe. That starts by making a massive statement with eye-catching billboards that will line the routes we know MEPs take on their way to vote. Then, our creative book will paint a picture of a better future, free from deforestation. With the official political negotiations due to start soon, we are running out of time to make a decision. This is our chance to decide if we want to be in the fight or let it pass us by. If you think we should take the chance and get involved, will you chip in to help get the plan off the ground? Yes, I'm in for ?5 Yes, I'm in for ?8 Yes, I'm in for ?15 I'll surprise you David (London), Tom (Brussels) and the entire WeMove Europe team P.S. The truth is - these kinds of actions don't happen all the time. It is this uniqueness that will cut through the noise. We know this works. Ahead of a meeting with the EU's Oceans Commissioner, we produced a pop-up book like this. He told us the book will be a constant reminder for him to take action and that he'd even give the book to his children. Unexpected actions can really cut through in the minds of decision makers.

At UWEC Work Group, we continue to analyze, track, and write about the environmental consequences of the war. For us, this work is doubly important because the events in Ukraine reflect a fundamental conflict that is destroying the human community and planet Earth. The war clearly illustrates how authoritarian regimes destroy lives, short-sighted plans lead to catastrophes, and the environment, unfortunately, is often just a pawn exploited by selfish interests. War has many consequences. It exposes problems often unseen in peacetime. For example, gold mining has always been dirty and harmful to the environment, but not much has been said about it past or present. In this issue, UWEC expert Eugene Simonov analyzes how the war and sanctions complicate Russia?s ability to sell gold and how the laws governing its production have become much simpler and not in a good way. This combination can have fatal consequences for the environment of entire regions. a.. War-time gold rush Reports from the battlefield tell us how the war steals the lives of thousands of soldiers and peaceful civilians. However, even more animals and trees have already died in the war; their deaths are extremely difficult to track. Ukrainian author and environmentalist Kateryna Polianska discusses this mournful side of the war, one that is little discussed, and about how some people are helping animals at risk. a.. Animal victims of war Some are calling the fighting in Ukraine ?ecocide.? This term not only draws attention to the widespread death of living organisms, but also serves as the legal basis for filing lawsuits in international courts. We spoke with Olena Kravchenko, Executive Director and Board Member of the Ukrainian NGO Environment-Law-People, about the war through the lens of environmental law, standards for collecting evidence, and the prospects for prosecuting crimes against nature. a.. Interview with Olena Kravchenko of the NGO ?Environment-People-Law? In early July Ukraine?s government presented a recovery plan for rebuilding Ukraine, a plan that provoked strong criticism from Ukrainian environmental organizations. The plan was even called the "Shame of Lugano". UWEC editorial team analyzes its flaws. a.. Environmentalists critique Ukraine?s reconstruction plan Lastly this week, the war also has a direct impact on international climate policy. In November 2022, Egypt will host the Conference of the Parties to the Paris Climate Agreement (COP-27), and the mood among climate diplomats and experts is less optimistic today than a year ago. Learn about how the war affects international decarbonization efforts and global climate policy more generally in an interview with Bill Hare, founder and CEO of Climate Analytics and co-leader of Climate Action Tracker. a.. ?Governments prioritize energy security over the clean energy transition?

Shark Nets Are Hurting Whales. Australia Must Use Alternate Shark Deterrents! Sign Now The idea behind shark nets is that they're supposed to keep humans safe. But not only are shark nets not as protective as some people might think -- they're also bad for all sorts of animals, including whales! This is becoming especially true in Queensland, Australia. In just one week during early July, three whales got tangled up in shark nets off the coast of Queensland. Meanwhile, there are other scientifically verified, humane ways to deter sharks from coming close to land. So why are authorities so determined to keep cruel, indiscriminate shark nets around? Sign the petition to demand the Australian government regulate the use of shark nets, and require local areas to implement other, safer shark deterrent systems! Many different types of whales live and swim in the waters around Australia. So far, humpback whales have been most traumatized and devastated by shark net entanglements. But researchers have also noticed one southern right whale and a baby calf in the area recently. Only around 3,500 southern right whales are left alive in the ocean! So if one of them were to be caught in a shark net, it could have terrible consequences. Safer, more reliable shark detection and deterrent technologies exist. So why aren't all Australian states using them? Tell the Australian government that it's time to get rid of shark nets and employ alternative methods now! Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Shark nets are harming Australia's humpback whales. Sign the petition to get rid of shark nets!

Louisiana Banned the Sale of Cosmetics Cruelly Tested on Animals! All Remaining States Must Do the Same! Sign Now Vladimir, For years, animal rights activists have been calling for the end of cosmetics testing on innocent animals. Not only is the practice deeply cruel, causing unnecessary suffering to animals; through technological advances and a long list of already approved ingredients, this awful practice has in recent years become totally unnecessary. By recently passing a ban on the sale of cosmetics that test on animals, Louisiana just showed that there is no excuse for companies to continue to subject animals to this abuse! During cosmetic testing, animals have products forced into their eyes, down their throats, and slathered on their poor, tender skin. They are kept in bleak testing facilities where they may never see the sun, touch grass, or know true love and nurturing. Rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, and rats, to name a few, are restrained during these painful tests so they cannot move or get free -- and they go through all of it without any pain relief. There are cheaper, faster alternatives that do not subject poor animals -- who should have the opportunity to live lives with autonomy and dignity -- to abusive cosmetic testing practices. Sign the petition now to tell the remaining 41 U.S. states that allow the sale of cosmetics tested on animals, along with Washington D.C., to emulate Louisiana's ban! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Cosmetic testing on animals is cruel and unnecessary. Sign the petition now.

Breaking: Historic transport of approximately 4,000 beagles spared from animal testing You may have seen in the news that our Animal Rescue Team was approached by the U.S. Department of Justice to remove roughly 4,000 beagles from a breeding facility that supplied laboratories that test on animals. We are honored to have been chosen to lead this historic effort and to coordinate the placement of these dogs with our shelter partners to ultimately find them loving homes. Government inspectors found that beagles at the facility were being killed instead of receiving veterinary treatment for easily treated conditions; nursing mother beagles were denied food; the food that they did receive contained maggots, mold and feces; and over an eight-week period, 25 beagle puppies died from cold exposure. Some dogs suffered from injuries when they were attacked by other dogs in overcrowded conditions.

Breaking: Historic transport of approximately 4,000 beagles spared from animal testing You may have seen in the news that our Animal Rescue Team was approached by the U.S. Department of Justice to remove roughly 4,000 beagles from a breeding facility that supplied laboratories that test on animals. We are honored to have been chosen to lead this historic effort and to coordinate the placement of these dogs with our shelter partners to ultimately find them loving homes. Government inspectors found that beagles at the facility were being killed instead of receiving veterinary treatment for easily treated conditions; nursing mother beagles were denied food; the food that they did receive contained maggots, mold and feces; and over an eight-week period, 25 beagle puppies died from cold exposure. Some dogs suffered from injuries when they were attacked by other dogs in overcrowded conditions.

Tell Congress: Fund National Parks' Efforts to Stop People From Approaching Wildlife! Keep People and Animals Safe! Sign Now For the second time in just a few days, a person was attacked by a bison at Yellowstone National Park. The 71-year-old woman involved was brutally gored while returning to her vehicle earlier this month, approaching a bison in the process. As more and more people seek outdoor activities amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, national parks are again experiencing massive summer crowds. This is not inherently a bad thing -- until people who are visiting continue to approach wildlife, putting themselves and animals at risk. The reasons for approaching these wild animals like elk, coyotes, and bison vary -- some people feel a false send of security within the boarders of the parks, and are simply not careful. Others want to approach the animals to pet, feed, or photograph them, treating them like tame pets or petting zoo animals. This foolishness often results in human injury -- or tragically, it teaches animals to feel comfortable approaching people, putting these innocent creatures at risk of extermination by officials who cannot risk a wild animal being too interested in humans. Clearly, there need to be awareness campaigns at our national parks to educate visitors on appropriate etiquette around wildlife, as well as increased enforcement of proper practices, and reminders throughout the parks! More funding would solve many of these problems. We must put pressure on Congress to better fund our national parks to keep both people and animals safe. Sign the petition now if you agree!

But while the US takes credit for attempting to cut off Russia?s fossil fuel trade, Americans are still filling their tanks with gasoline originating in Russia, we reveal. But how exactly is this happening? Let me be clear Vladimir, the US did end imports of those fossil fuels many months before the EU and UK introduced bans (which are set to go into effect next year). READ MORE Turns out, that once Russian oil has been refined into other products such as gasoline, the US officially doesn?t care if it came from Russia. An apparent loophole has allowed petroleum products originating in Russia to keep flowing to the US ? a cycle that has kept funding the war on Ukraine. The war in Ukraine and the climate crisis have common roots and common solutions ? a complete and total end to the use of fossil fuels everywhere. We have seen what misery and destruction the fossil fuel industry enables, not just in Ukraine but in many different places for many years. It?s been 5 months since the Russian war on Ukraine started. Watch Ukrainian activist Valeriia Volchevska urging world leaders to stand with Ukrainians and end our deadly addiction to fossil fuels.

BABIES ARE BEING BORN NOW. Please, help today! Please help by making a donation now! Share Tweet Forward A truly terrifying statistic is that every year, more than 300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises die after getting entangled in fishing nets, with devastating effects on the different species. Some drown immediately, while those who survive their initial entanglement endure many painful months, ultimately bleeding out from deep wounds or dying of starvation because their ability to dive and feed is impaired. The situation is even more critical now because peak calving season has begun along the South African coastline. The risk to whales is particularly high in South African waters which are part of humpback whales? yearly migratory route and where southern right and Bryde?s whales go to mate and give birth ? in areas where, to make matters worse, illegal fishing is rife. Once whales get entangled in fishing nets, they can?t dive as deep or as easily which means they catch less food and slowly but steadily become weaker, with fatal consequences. When this happens to mother whales, they struggle to nurse their calves while dragging the fishing gear they are entangled in - simultaneously while weakening from injuries they may have sustained. The great whales of our seas barely escaped being hunted to extinction. We cannot let fishing gear entanglements push them over the edge. We can have a positive impact - we can save lives - but we need your continued support. Please help by making a donation now! As the international fishing industry grows, the problem is getting worse. Fortunately, there are brave and dedicated expert teams that put their lives on the line to help free entangled whales. Our partner, the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI), responds anywhere along the entire South African coastline to free whales from life-threatening entanglements. These highly trained teams are on 24-hour standby - as soon as they get a report of an entangled whale, they take to the seas. Vladimir, it is a dangerous job, requiring skill and rigorous training. NSRI volunteer teams must get close to these stressed, giant wild animals - often in wild open seas. Using specially designed knives and hooks at the end of long poles, and working lines and kedging buoys, they free the whales from ropes and nets, while being careful to not cause them further injury. Freeing whales requires specialized equipment. For this reason, NSRI reached out to ASI for support in funding the purchase of a whale disentanglement kit and the training of 10 new disentanglement experts. Thanks to your donations, we were able to fund this urgent need? but the scale of the problem has increased. Vladimir, during peak calving season for whales along the South African coastline - which, again, is right now - even more newborn calves and their mothers are at risk of becoming entangled in relentless fishing gear. If we can raise another $2,000 (?1,500), we can fund the purchase of two additional whale disentanglement kits for the NSRI. $2,000 does not seem like a lot to make a major contribution to the well-being of whales. Disentanglement procedures are filmed to give researchers valuable information about the identity of the animal, the damage caused by the entanglement, and the size and species of the whale. The teams also recover the nets, buoys and ropes causing the entanglement so that skin samples can be extracted to record DNA information in the research database. We must continue to help better equip the NSRI?s expert whale disentanglement teams so we can save more whale lives. Please, will you help today? Please help by making a donation now! Climate change, habitat loss, pollution, loss of food sources, toxic substances, sonar testing and incidental by-catch are just some of the dangers these majestic animals still face. Global warming and changes in food availability mean these whales are spending longer periods in waters around Southern Africa. Migrating whales can be seen along the country?s coastline from June up until as late as December each year. We MUST make sure the whale disentanglement teams at the stations along the country?s coastline are fully equipped to respond rapidly to all whale-entanglement reports. Please, help us raise enough funds to provide vital specialized equipment and gear by donating right now. Help us support the National Sea Rescue Institute and its whale disentanglement efforts to help ensure the whales along the South African coastline may continue to live well-protected and free, and capable of sustaining their young.

The fight for a better, safer internet is a long-haul one. But there?s no doubt we?re making major progress ? in the last few months alone we?ve seen huge breakthroughs, from a legislative triumph in Europe to getting Meta?s harmful business model firmly on investors? agenda. And none of it would have happened without you. Together we?re taking huge strides to hold giant tech corporations like Meta and Google to account and push back against their harmful practices. And we want to make sure you know about the amazing work you?ve made possible! So here?s some highlights from the year so far: Regulation at last! In April, after months of wrangling, European legislators finally agreed to pass a strong internet law ? the Digital Services Act. It?s hard to overstate the importance of this legislation, which will be the first in the world to truly rein in the power of the tech giants and be a blueprint for governments everywhere. While it doesn?t include everything we campaigned for, the law brings in powerful new rules for the world?s biggest tech platforms, and that?s thanks to the relentless pressure SumOfUs members and other civil society groups put on lawmakers in Europe. At critical moments, we quickly mobilised to flood key MEPs with thousands of messages demanding action. And we coupled this with behind the scenes advocacy ? including in-person deliveries to key decision-makers consisting of beautiful books with EU citizens? hopes and dreams for a better online world. Tens of thousands of us also joined citizens and organisations across Europe in signing a People?s Declaration against Big Tech, showing that this is a priority for people everywhere. And it worked! We saw off attempts to weaken the bill, like a dangerous proposal for a media exemption which would have allowed pretty much anyone calling themselves media to spread disinformation with abandon. And we made sure transparency stayed at the heart of the bill, with measures to ensure independent researchers can access key data from the platforms so we aren't reliant on tech companies to come clean about the scale of disinformation on their platforms. My colleague Flora who coordinated the efforts targeting Brussels says ?we wouldn't have such a strong law without this community, and now we have a blueprint for how governments around the world can regulate tech companies and protect users from harm.? Mark Zuckerberg?s toxic metaverse In addition to targeted pressure on decision-makers, we?ve been exposing the harms of Big Tech through cutting edge research that has garnered headlines across the world ? making sure these harms stay firmly in the spotlight, and forcing the platforms to take action. As Facebook?s future looks increasingly uncertain, Mark Zuckerberg has been hyping up his metaverse plan. So SumOfUs swung into gear, sending researchers into the Metaverse to see and document what it is really like using the platform. In just an hour, they had been exposed to upsetting experiences from a gun shoot-out to sexual assault ? the researchers were astounded by how quick and easy it was to stumble into disturbing situations and how traumatic virtual encounters can be. My colleague Andrea who oversaw the small team of researchers says: ?Watching their firsthand encounters in the metaverse proved that the harms that can happen in a virtual world are very real and very disturbing. If Meta cares about the safety of its users, more protections need to be put into place before it?s too late.? The report received overwhelming media attention, with hundreds of outlets around the world from the US to Italy to India covering the research, and highlighting our recommendations. SumOfUs Metaverse research making headlines And we?re having an impact! Within days of our research gaining massive attention and dozens of journalists requesting comments from Meta, the company announced several measures to address harassment on its metaverse platform. Unfortunately the measures don?t go nearly far enough to adequately protect users from harm, but the rapid response from Meta shows that our campaigning is forcing a response. Rewan who helped oversee the report says ?Instead of addressing all the toxic content flooding his current platforms, Zuckerberg is chasing the dollar signs by plunging head-first into the Metaverse. It?s incredibly irresponsible, and we?re already seeing serious harms. But our campaigning is creating shockwaves and we won?t be backing off anytime soon.? Investors on board!! We?ve also taken our members? demands to clean up Big Tech to investors and company boards, filing shareholder resolutions that have helped inform and mobilise investors who are increasingly worried about the harms and believe running a tech business doesn?t have to mean putting profits over people. There are three that I?d love to highlight: Apple: We exposed Apple?s use of Uyghur forced labour in its supply chain and mobilized customers and shareholders to pressure the company to act. After we staged a bold visual protest at the Apple store in central DC, over a third of Apple investors voted in favour of our resolution. Over 188,000 SumOfUs members have meanwhile signed the petition to date, and our Apple campaign has been covered by major global media outlets like the Financial Times and Reuters. As the US law to outlaw Uyghur forced labour comes into force, Apple is under growing pressure to root out forced labour in its supply chain. SumOfUs protest outside Apple store in central DC, in Politico Our Apple resolution in the Financial Times Meta: SumOfUs members co-filed two important resolutions at Meta ? one challenging the company to report on the human rights impact of the Metaverse, and the second raising the ineffectiveness of the company?s Risk and Audit committee, which is supposed to fix the harms caused by platforms like Facebook and Instagram. We reached out to over 4000 major investors who have shares in Meta warning them of the risks that this company poses. We ran TV ads on US networks pointing out the need for change at Meta, and SumOfUs' Executive Director, Emma, addressed shareholders at Meta's annual meeting calling on them to back our resolutions. Even though the resolutions didn?t pass (Mark Zuckerberg owns the majority of votes and so can kill any proposal he doesn?t agree with) a third of independent shareholders backed our resolution ? helping to add pressure on Zuckerberg to act. Our Metaverse resolution in the New York Post Alphabet: SumOfUs members forced Alphabet, Google?s parent company, to address the implications of placing data centres in countries with human rights abuses - for example Saudi Arabia, where the company intends to build a large facility. This resolution received a massive 57.6% of the independent investor vote. We can ? and will - use this strong support in the coming months to pressure Google to reconsider partnerships with such brutal regimes. Our Alphabet resolution in the New York Post The best part of shareholder activism is getting to work closely with members of the SumOfUs community who put their hand up to help file the shareholder resolutions with their investments. Christina, who was burning the midnight oil to get these resolutions drafted and approved by the SEC, said ?It?s been a very exciting shareholder season made possible by the SumOfUs members who helped us file. Bringing these important issues right to board members and investors gives us major leverage in our work together for a just future.? And Mari, one of the SumOfUs members who helped us file said ?After over 50 years of investing I can assure you that the management deeply cares about shareholder opinion, and shareholders uniting is a powerful tool!? A new youth movement Last but not least, we?ve organised dozens of students at Stanford University to publicly pledge that they will not go work for Big Tech ? kickstarting a larger campaign to get students to boycott the industry. Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen spoke at a SumOfUs event to inspire students to take a stand against the tech companies. And our billboard van has been driving around campus this Spring and Summer calling on students to boycott Big Tech. Perhaps best of all, a few weeks ago we flew an aeroplane banner during the commencement speech at the Stanford graduation reminding students to stand up against Big Tech?s power. And now we?re gearing up to roll out this campaign across the US. And that?s just in the last few months ? we?ve achieved so much together already, taking on some of the world?s most powerful tech giants and winning. And because of this incredible community coming together, we can push for even bigger changes in the months ahead.

Tell London's Leaders: Tackle the City's Dangerous, Toxin-Leaching Litter Problem Now! Sign Now Living in a metropolitan area comes with benefits ? access to public transportation, interaction with a wealth of different people and cultures, and availability of many different kinds of products, foods, and experiences to enjoy. But with such a richness and density of life also come certain pitfalls: like waste that clogs pavements and streets. For example, residents of London have recently noticed a sharp increase in littering around their city. This litter is bad for Londoners who see it as an eyesore, and it's also bad for the environment, wildlife, mobility and accessibility, and general human health. Yet some tenants' associations say their repeated complaints about the littering problem have gone unheeded. We can't let this problem continue to get more and more out of hand! When refuse piles up on the edges of pavements and streets, it becomes extremely difficult or even impossible for people with mobility challenges to get around. That includes ? but is in no way limited to ? people who are blind, use wheelchairs, or are elderly. Navigating a constant maze of unexpected items underfoot can quickly lead to injuries and falls, or worse. On top of that, items like plastic bottles and more can leach toxic chemicals into our waterways and soil, poisoning the very earth and water we rely upon each day. And of course, both wildlife and pets often mistake trash for food ? eating things that can clog their throats and stomachs, or can be laden with diseases. This has already resulted in shocking, painful animal deaths. Several years ago, London's borough councils came up with plans to reduce waste, boost recycling, and thus cut down on litter in the city. But these Reduction and Recycling Plans, or RRPs, were developed before the COVID-19 pandemic began and government resources across the globe were suddenly stretched very thin. The RRPs originally laid out are a wonderful start, but there is still obviously a lot of work to be done to cut down on litter in London. Sign the petition to demand that London's borough councils uphold their commitments to waste reduction, and do everything in their power to keep London safe and clean! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Allowing litter to pile up in London is dangerous for many reasons ? dangerous for us, our children, pets, wildlife, and even the Earth.

Sign Now The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services has repeatedly been involved in instances of needlessly killing innocent wild animals like bears, wolves, mountain lions, and coyotes -- basically doing the powerful livestock industry's bidding. While the USDA Wildlife Services are aware of the many nonlethal options that are available when managing wildlife, the agency has continued to engage in murderous, violent practices. But one New Mexico county will no longer tolerate this bad behavior and has voted against renewing a contract with the USDA's Wildlife Services. This is amazing -- and more counties must do the same! Sign now to ask that other New Mexico counties follow in Grant County's footsteps and fire the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services! Brutal leg hold traps that trap suffering, panicked animals for hours or even days in their sharp teeth. Poisons hidden in the wilderness for any animal to ingest and slowly die from. Rounding up and gassing animals, while chasing down others and shooting them to death. These are just some of the cruel methods of the USDA Wildlife Services. Grant County had taken incredible action to protect wildlife by directing the USDA's Wildlife Services to prioritize nonlethal management methods, explicitly written in their contract. When it came to light that this was not being honored, the county held strong and fired them. Now, it is time other counties in New Mexico do the same. Sierra, Catron, Luna, and Socorro counties all neighbor Grant County and could stand up for animal lives in the same way that other New Mexicans did. Sign the petition now if you agree! Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The USDA is slaughtering wild animals when it is well aware of other options. Sign the petition to stop them!

It?s getting hot in here, isn't it? People around the world are currently suffering from the impacts of extreme heat waves that are supercharged by the climate crisis and causing countries in Europe and North America to fight off wildfires that are raging out of control, destroying homes, forests, and infrastructure. On the other side of the globe, the worst floods and rains in over 100 years have displaced millions. Let us connect the dots and remember that the impacts of extreme weather events like these are no accident ? they are the result of corporate greed and bad government policy. They are directly linked to the fossil fuel industry. The climate justice movement relies on you to make it stronger. Through your involvement with a local group, contribution, or activity ? let's say, sharing an article, or signing a petition?we can create momentum, build more people-powered moments, and tackle the climate crisis together. With love, Christine In Case You Missed It Living Through Climate Disaster Communities in Canada, from B.C. to the Maritimes and the many places in between, have not been spared from extreme floods, fires, and storms. Living Through Climate Disaster provides space for those communities to tell their stories about the impacts and how they want a better future and to bring an end to delay in climate action. One heartfelt story is from a mother recapping her experience through the Heat Dome while pregnant to then having her child exposed to the smoke from the wildfires. The truth is, we are living in a climate emergency. And it?s up to all of us to demand bold action centered on climate justice from our government, from our leaders. Our stories are a powerful tool because we get to build community and fight for change together! One People. One Ocean. One Journey. The people of the Pacific, under the International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion alliance, called on world leaders to hear their cries for climate justice and human rights. Along the coastlines, they gathered with a unified voice and message to save their homes, their livelihoods, and the most affected communities as the extreme climate impacts become more frequent. The endorsed Advisory Opinion will set sail, and they?re asking international leaders to show that they value the rights of vulnerable frontline communities everywhere. This is our fight, and it?s a fight to protect the human rights of people worldwide. Why don?t you hop on board their canoe and help fight the climate crisis? Learn more about their voyage. We are fighting to #UprootTheDMRE On Mandela Day, the Climate Justice Coalition (CJC) ? a South African coalition pushing for an advanced transformative climate agenda, marched to the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy to deliver an open letter to the presidency. The letter demands that the president implement an emergency renewable energy plan to tackle the energy and climate crisis. The country is currently facing power outages and forcibly plunged into darkness. It?s time for a system change, and the CJC knows it and demands it under the banner of #UprootTheDMRE! One to Watch And that?s a WRAP! It?s been a busy three months for the climate movement, as we saw activists mobilise and take action targeting Annual General Meetings (AGMs). In case you need a moving and energetic reminder of this intense season of meetings, we have you covered. This video is wrapped in mobilisations and campaigns covered from many corners of the globe, with strong messages telling banks and finance institutions to STOP FUNDING THE CLIMATE CRISIS. Skill Up Your Activism Looking for ways to amplify the climate movement? We have just the right project filled with categories of inspiring stories and lived experiences of the climate crisis. The Climate Reality Project Philippines is joining a growing chorus of voices asking ?When? and demanding ?Now? from world leaders meeting during the 27th Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. ?When Is Now? features poems, visual art, murals, and more forms of creative expression that reflect people?s lived experiences of the climate crisis and the call for the developed world to address the vicious cycle of loss and damage experienced by climate-vulnerable countries. Use Your Power Tell banks to STOP FUNDING destruction in Argentina Fracking is dirty and dangerous, and right now, it?s destroying the lives of communities in Vaca Muerta, a region in Patagonia, Argentina. Though a new report has recorded twice as many environmental incidents, we already know the only way to ensure that we eliminate these and put people's livelihood first is to Keep It In The Ground. That?s why there is a petition to STOP big international banks that fund oil giants like YPF.

As part of the international campaign against prescribed burns, ?Stop the Harmful Forms of Prescribed Burns!?, launched by the Socio-ecological union international in 2019, we made an appeal to the US government about this whole story. The appeal was sent these days to the US President (Joseph Biden), the US Vice President (Kamala Harris) and to two relevant departments of the US government. All contacts were taken from the White House, Washington website. All materials (links to which are used in the circulation) could be found on the company's website (http://www.green-forums.info/stop-burnings/ The appeal, among other things, contains our recommendations on fighting fires in the United States and what needs to be done in connection with the problem of prescribed burning in US, Europe, Australia, Russia and worldwide.

Yours sincerely, Natalia Novoselova, coordinator of the public international campaign ?Stop the Harmful Forms of Prescribed Burnings!? () Sviatoslav Zabelin, coordinator of the Socio-ecological union international ****** This is information about the Appeal entitled ?The disastrous consequences of the prescribed burning industry in the USA in relation to the wildfire catastrophe (Calf Canyon and Hermits Peak Fires) launched by prescribed burning in New Mexico State in April 2022? which was made within the framework of the public international campaign ?Stop the Harmful Forms of Prescribed Burnings!?. This campaign collects information on the negative consequences of the prescribed burning practice around the world and develops international cooperation to stop all harmful forms of prescribed (or controlled) burning in all countries that use this practice. The appeal was sent on 25-26 July to the President of the United States (Mr. Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.), Vice President of the United States (Madam Kamala Harris), and two departments of the US Government: The US Department of the Interior (+the following bureaus of the department: National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, Bureau of Reclamation, and Bureau of Land Management); The US Department of Agriculture (and two agencies of the department: US Forest Service, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service). In the cover letter, I asked to send the appeal to the chief of the department, as well as to the chiefs of the listed bureaus and agencies. So, probably they all can receive this message. All contacts were taken from the website of The White House, Washington. This appeal should be an open letter. Because the information about prescribed burning that it contains is important to all citizens of the USA and other countries. If you know the media who can publish the entire appeal in their newspaper or journal, or who may have the interest to make their own article based on the material which the appeal contains, please, let them know. They can use the links on the appeal below (PDF and DOCX file): PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EEVdemnAIVphAsNX2fza4VDP4BPqjRs3/view?usp=sharing DOCX: https://docs.google.com/file/d/1pLEaaDKBdDuilAZdFTGpe21MKMW63zLQ/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=113621144480399282020&rtpof=true&sd=true For the press and individuals, all options for using the text of the appeal are possible without distorting its basic meaning.

We are reaching out because your organization endorsed the Rivers for Climate Declaration last year ahead of COP26 asking the U.N. to reject harmful dams as a climate solution. On behalf of the organizations that drafted the declaration, thank you for your support! We are writing to provide an update about the impact the Declaration has had (see update below) and to invite you to participate in a planning discussion to support free-flowing rivers around the world. The goals of this strategic discussion will be to: a.. amplify the voices and demands of river-dependent communities in global climate policy, particularly during the upcoming UNFCCC COP27 in November, b.. develop common positions and approaches to the use of hydropower in countries? Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and international climate finance, c.. develop strategies to prevent and remove harmful dams and water diversions, focusing on strategies that benefit multiple countries To this end, we will host separate online meetings in Spanish and English: a.. English Free Flowing Rivers Discussion, August 24, 2022, 3pm CET via Zoom (Register here) b.. Spanish Free Flowing Rivers Discussion, August 31, 2022, 9am PST via Zoom (Register here) If you would like to host a similar strategy meeting in another language or have questions or suggestions, please email us at rivers4climate at gmail.com. Background & Update about the Declaration If you?ll recall, the Declaration was signed by 350 civil society organizations from around the world. The Declaration fed into and was supported by an accompanying petition signed by over 2000 individuals (see UnDam.org). Prior to COP26, we launched the declaration during a press conference in September ahead of the International Hydropower Association publishing its own pro-hydro declaration. At COP26 itself in Glasgow, we presented the Declaration to the UNFCCC secretariat, the head of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the CEO of the International Hydropower Association (IHA) during their marquee event, and the head of the International Energy Agency?s (IEA) sustainability division. As a follow-up, a group of us met the IEA to educate them about why their calls to double hydropower capacity would in fact worsen the climate crisis. We highlighted the Declaration and its key messages during a number of events we helped lead, including an official side event in Glasgow on alternatives to hydropower to address the climate crisis, and an event at the People?s Climate Summit, where we connected with climate activists new to the topic of river protection. The Declaration?s key concerns and recommendations have been supported by a joint statement on large dams issued by multiple UN Special Rapporteurs, led by the UN Special Rapporteur for the Right to Water, Pedro Arrojo. The statement reiterated key points of the Declaration by calling on UN bodies, financiers, and governments to reject an expansion of hydropower to address the climate crisis in recognition of the severe human rights impacts of dams. Finally, we carried our message in several marches during COP26. Here are links to articles and photos by organizations that drafted the declaration. a.. Hundreds of Groups Reject Greenwashing of Destructive Hydropower Industry at COP26 b.. Bringing the fight against dams to COP26 c.. Seeing COP26 through the lens of R?os to Rivers? chief storyteller d.. Rivers for Climate Coalition at COP26 Next Steps We hope this information is useful and that we can collaborate in the future to support free-flowing rivers.

Not because we?ve used all of the biological resources that Earth can regenerate this year. But because, for the first time, a country?s Ministry of Environment is hosting a special event to launch Earth Overshoot Day. The event features Ecuador?s Minister of Environment, Gustavo Manrique, Ecuador's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Juan Carlos Holguin, and Global Footprint Network founder Mathis Wackernagel. Why launch Earth Overshoot Day in Ecuador? Ecuador has a tradition of ecological leadership. It was the first country to give nature constitutional rights, and was one of the first countries to add ?avoid entering an ecological deficit? to its national priority list. It?s clear Ecuador recognizes that resource security is turning into an essential parameter for the country?s lasting prosperity. So, what can be done? Turning overshoot trends around is not only possible; it?s economically beneficial for those who lead the charge. And it?s also good for the planet. There is immense power of possibility in the countless existing solutions that #MoveTheDate. With them, we can increase our ability to thrive in times of increasing overshoot. EXPLORE MORE POSSIBILITIES There's lots to explore on overshootday.org including press releases in multiple languages, and videos, infographics, or social media you can share with your friends. P.S. Join countless #MoveTheDate supporters and tell the social media world what possibility(ies) you love! Decisions shape the future. Our mission is to make those decisions one-planet compatible.

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Western countries introduced some sanctions on the Russian fossil fuel industry in an attempt to slow this vital source of revenue to the Russian state. However, as this investigation reveals, the current sanctions regime contains gaping holes which Putin will be able to exploit. READ MORE One such hole is that there are currently no measures to prevent European companies engaging in ?ship-to-ship? transfers of oil, provided that these take place within international waters. One such spot is a patch of sea just off the Suffolk coast, where at least twice this May British-crewed vessels helped to transfer Russian oil between tankers. These ship-to-ship transfers are vital to the Russian oil industry, as they enable their products to travel over vast distances to reach new markets in East Asia, which have proven incredibly lucrative. This simply would not have been possible without the assistance of British and European ships. FIND OUT MORE The global shipping industry, operating as it does between and outside of nation states? jurisdictions, has proven difficult for national governments to hold accountable. Without international efforts to close this loophole, Western efforts to starve Putin?s war machine of funds will be doomed to fail.

Follow Us Earlier this month, HSI assisted VShine and local authorities in rescuing 126 dogs from an illegal slaughterhouse in Northern China. Many pet collars were found on the slaughterhouse floor and were worn by the rescued dogs, indicating that pet dogs had been killed here. They were emaciated and frightened, but were very social and eager for human affection. They are safe and receiving medical attention and all the love they deserve. Your support is the reason why we?re able to do this lifesaving work?thank you. Sincerely, Jeffrey Flocken President of Humane Society International P.S. The next few weeks are a critical time for these more than 100 dogs rescued from the slaughterhouse, and while they?re out of harm?s way, they still have a long way to go. If you?re able to help with their care, please donate today. Your support will also help all animals across the globe.

The 2022 World Cup Was Built by Modern Day Slavery. FIFA and Its Partners Should Compensate the Workers Who Built It. Sign Now The word "trafficking" gets thrown around a lot, but often without the nuance it deserves. One form of trafficking that we often overlook is labor trafficking ? a form of modern-day slavery in which people work against their will due to force, fraud, or coercion. This year on World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, we want to bring awareness to a major enabler of labor trafficking: FIFA. For this year's World Cup, FIFA awarded the global soccer (football) tournament bid to Qatar, a country known for its labor trafficking and human rights abuses. The various winners of this year's World Cup will walk away with a combined total of $440 million in prize money. Meanwhile, FIFA's official World Cup corporate partners will also benefit extensively from the event. Yet the abused humans who are forced to work in Qatar without their consent or free will walk away with comparatively nothing. That's why Amnesty International is calling on FIFA to match the $440 million in World Cup prize money and create a compensation program for Qatar's abused migrant workers. As Amnesty International's Secretary General has made clear: "By turning a blind eye to foreseeable human rights abuses and failing to stop them, FIFA indisputably contributed to the widespread abuse of migrant workers involved in World Cup-related projects in Qatar, far beyond the stadiums and official hotels." The World Cup in Qatar has been built on trafficked laborers' backs. Sign the petition to demand FIFA and its World Cup partners to pay reparations to the workers who suffered human rights abuses under Qatar's exploitative labor system! Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The World Cup in Qatar has been built on trafficked laborers' backs, and FIFA and its partners must pay for the harm they enabled. Sign the petition!

News of the world environment NEWSLETTER | JULY 29, 2022 Something to Build On As an environmental journalist, I spend a lot of my time reading about, writing about, and sharing what can only be described as bad news. Yes, sometimes I am able to delve into truly inspiring stories about frontline activists pushing for change, but the big headlines are typically about rising temperatures, environmental injustices, climate inaction, and so on. Which is why, like so many people, I was caught a little off guard by Senator Joe Manchin?s Wednesday about-face on federal climate legislation. After blocking action for months, the West Virginia senator?s new-found willingness to support a $369 billion federal climate bill means we may finally set our country on a path towards meaningful emissions reductions. It?s taken a while for this good news to sink in. Of course, the bill isn?t perfect ? no big surprise given its backing by the conservative Manchin. It contains what the Center for Biological Diversity refers to as ?poison pills,? most notably requirements that the federal government reinstate a controversial 2021 oil and gas lease sale in the Gulf of Mexico, and provisions tying renewable energy development to fossil fuel extraction on public lands. It also includes incentives for questionable climate solutions like biofuels and carbon capture. Still, I can?t help but feel cautiously optimistic. If passed, the legislation would, among other things, provide major incentives for clean energy development, fines for methane leakage at oil and gas sites, and $60 billion for environmental justice communities to address poor air quality, invest in climate resiliency, and more. And while it won?t get us to President Biden?s stated goal of reducing emissions by 50 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, experts say it will get us to 40 percent, a significant improvement over our current trajectory. To me, that feels like a win worth celebrating. And something to build on. Zoe Loftus-Farren Managing Editor, Earth Island Journal P.S.

A decaying oil tanker off the coast of Yemen could spew a MILLION barrels of oil into the Red Sea. That?s four times the oil spilled by Exxon Valdez! It?s a ticking time bomb that could be the biggest environmental catastrophe in history, but no one is talking about it. And the United Nations can?t scrape together enough donations to clean it up before disaster strikes. We?re going to change that. If thousands of us come together to create a citizen cleanup fund, then campaign to demand our governments match our donations 100:1, we can help get the UN the money they need to start the clean up straight away. We have no time to spare ? experts say they have to start within weeks or it might be too late. Vladimir, can you give $2 to help stop this ticking time bomb? If you?ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your donation will go through immediately. Donate $3 now Donate another amount Scientists are sounding the alarm that at any moment, the ship could disintegrate or explode, causing 10 million people to lose access to drinking water. It would destroy the Red Sea?s coral reef, mangroves, and turtle nesting sites?forever. And it would disrupt traffic into a critical Yemeni port for several months, cutting off humanitarian aid to Yemen ? which 20 million people rely on to survive. If disaster strikes, it would cost $20 BILLION to clean up the mess. The good news is the UN has a plan in place to assess the safety of the tanker, then carefully transfer the oil to a temporary, safe vessel. The empty tanks would then be cleaned to remove any remaining oil and the ship would be made into scrap. But they can?t start until they raise the funds to do it. Out of desperation, the UN just launched a crowdfunding campaign to help, but without massive support it won?t be enough. The cleanup must be complete before the fall, when currents and high winds make the worst case scenario even more likely. But our governments are turning their backs on this looming disaster. Together we can start a citizen clean up fund, then use it to lobby our governments to chip in the rest, showing them that citizens around the world won?t rest until we save ourselves from the biggest environmental disaster, ever. Anything extra we raise can be used on critical environmental campaigns worldwide. Can you help? If you?ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your donation will go through immediately.

Last month, we asked you to tell us if you consider yourself an 'activist'. Here are the results from the 540 ONE supporters who responded: 66% of you identify as an activist 20% aren't sure 14% of you don't consider yourself an activist. But here's the most interesting part. Most people reported taking the same kinds of actions against injustice, regardless of whether or not they consider themselves activists. Signing and sharing petitions, writing to political leaders, volunteering in the local community, donating to causes, talking to people about issues they care about ? these are all ways YOU are showing up to help make the world a better place! ?????? Taking to the streets is a powerful part of activism. But it doesn't end there. It doesn't have to look like organising and marching (although these incredible activists would inspire us to!) It can show up in all sorts of ways. From quiet and creative craftivism to organising a school bake sale to raise funds for an important cause. There's space for every one of us to take action, however we can. Here's what a couple of you shared with us about being an activist: "I consider myself an activist because I do whatever is within my power to see that the voice of the vulnerable are heard and actions are taken to curb injustice, vices and inhumane treatments in my society." Chinonye, Nigeria "Being an activist is not just, to my mind, about joining the campaigns of the moment, but fighting for improved conditions and more justice for all who need it, wherever we find ourselves. It is a mindset, a way of life." Elizabeth, Greece "The actions I take may be small (signing petitions, making donations), but they contribute to something larger?. I campaign for change and I believe that makes me an activist." Alex, UK Things we love ??

People Changing the World **Trigger warning: Ally talks about her personal struggles with eating disorders below** Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? My name is Ally Zlatar and I'm an artist, activist, and ONE Youth Ambassador in Glasgow, Scotland. Can you tell us about the work you do? I am the founder of an artist initiative that helps broaden perspectives on eating disorders and mental illness called The Starving Artist. My key focus areas are creating artworks and arts-based research, publications, exhibitions, workshops, artist talks, and reflections that explore marginalised experiences of wellbeing. I also founded The Starving Artist Scholarship Fund, which helps people access inpatient treatment for eating disorders. My art emerges from my own personal experiences. It's incredibly difficult to express how an eating disorder can impact the self-identity and self-image of someone who is ill. My work explores the individual's experience by focusing on themes of illness, vulnerability, and authenticity. As a woman who comes from a family of displaced origins (my family fled former Yugoslavia), I feel there is a lack of authentic representation of migrant women. There's a focus on displacement, social impact, and social struggles, but there's a dire need to examine the internalised psychological and emotional struggles of the experience. The reality of living with the 'divergent body' deriving from a background of conflict, can at times be unbearable. My "This Body of Mine" campaign explores migrant experiences through creative voices. I aim to enlighten the public on what it is genuinely like to endure hardship as a female migrant and share other artists' stories through my platform. Through my work, I've received the highest accolade a young person can achieve for their humanitarian work ? The Princess Diana Legacy Award in 2021, the Y20 Awardee for Diversity and Inclusion, and also special recognition from The British Citizen Award in 2022. How do you stay motivated to do this work? My advice for others is to remember the end goal. Hard work takes time and if it was easy, it would be done already. In my spare time, I love painting so I do that as much as I can. And I try to get out on a good hike. I also like listening to Orville Peck, who I recommend for all the Indie and Country Music lovers out there! ?
