Donald Trump nominated fast food CEO Andrew Puzder to be Secretary of Labor. Puzder is hostile to workers, farmers, and the environment. If confirmed, he'd ensure that the interests of the fast food industry -- and its Big Ag suppliers -- would come before people and the planet.

Puzder is facing a tough confirmation fight in the Senate. His hearing has already been delayed four times. We have a real shot at stopping his confirmation -- but we need you to keep the pressure on your Senators to reject him!

Tell your Senators: Block Andrew Puzder from becoming Secretary of Labor!

Puzder’s history in the fast food industry shows how he feels about the workers who form the backbone of our food system. He opposes raising the minimum wage, enforcing overtime rules, and mandatory sick leave.

And when he was CEO of CKE Restaurants, which operates Carl’s Jr. and Hardees, the company had more Department of Labor employment discrimination violations than any other fast food company.

If the Senate doesn’t stop him, Puzder would be in charge of the agency that’s supposed to protect workers. But his past shows that he’d be more likely to gut labor regulations than stand up for workers.

Now is the time for those of us who care about a safe and healthy food system to stand up for the workers who are on the frontlines of that fight. From farmers and farmworkers to those who work in food service, our food industry workers could lose their most basic protections if Puzder is confirmed.

Tell the Senate: Andrew Puzder is hostile to workers. Don’t let him lead the Department of Labor!

Personnel is policy. Trump’s outrageous cabinet nominations make it clear that the only policy Trump will advance is what benefits himself and his corporate buddies.

The opposition to Andrew Puzder for Secretary of Labor is intense. If Democrats stick together, it will only take a handful of principled Republican votes to block him. But we need your help to make that happen.

Help stop Andrew Puzder from becoming Secretary of Labor: Write to your Senators NOW!

House Republicans want to re-open protected areas of the Arctic for oil and gas drilling. At the same time, they want to gut safety protections. Their plan would endanger beluga and bowhead whales, walrus, and ice seals. It would greatly increase the chances of an oil spill in this remote and fragile region. And it would contribute to climate chaos.The Senate can still stop this from happening. But we need you to write to your Senator NOW!

Tell your Senators: Don’t re-open protected areas of the Arctic for oil and gas drilling!

Oil companies have been trying to drill in the Arctic for years -- with disastrous results. In 2012, Shell conducted exploration activities in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. They were plagued by safety violations and violations of pollution rules.

Then, in 2015, Shell tried to drill there again -- and it gave up due to the high levels of risk. The evidence is clear: drilling in the Arctic is a terrible idea. When -- not if -- an accident occurs, it will do irreparable damage to some of our most remote and fragile wild areas.

The only reason House Republicans are pushing this bill forward is to help their Big Polluter friends. We need your help to stop them!

Tell the Senate: Don’t let oil companies destroy the Arctic and put wildlife at risk!

Republicans in the House see a Trump presidency as a chance to push through their own extreme anti-environmental agenda. The results could be disastrous for the planet -- from gutting the EPA, to killing President Obama’s Clean Power Plan, to destroying our public lands and waters. The good news is, people are fighting back. When Rep. Chaffetz introduced another bill to drill on our public lands, intense public pressure forced him to pull it.

Meanwhile, at town hall meetings across the country, progressives are showing our Senators that caving to Trump is unacceptable. And it’s making an impact. Already Republicans are walking back their promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Democrats are taking a stand against Trump’s cabinet. This shows that when we speak up together in defense of people and the planet, we can make Congress listen.

It’s up to people like you to defend President Obama’s climate legacy. So we need you to act NOW and stop your Representative from passing this attack on our environmental protections!

Tell your Senators to block attacks on President Obama’s climate legacy!

First the good news: The rusty patched bumblebee has been officially listed under the Endangered Species Act. This protection will go a long way toward preventing this wild bee from facing extinction.

Now the bad news: Trump and his enablers in Congress are gearing up for an attack on the Endangered Species Act. This could wipe out the rusty patched bee -- and many other endangered species.

We need your help to stop Trump and Congress from harming wildlife!

Tell your Senators: Don’t gut the Endangered Species Act!

Senate Republicans are justifying their attack by saying the Endangered Species Act "is not working today." 

But that’s blatantly untrue. In fact, the Endangered Species Act has a 99% success rate! 

This critical law has saved the gray wolf, Florida manatee and the bald eagle. Now it could save the rusty patched bumblebee. And we still need it to save many more species.

If you speak up, you can still save the Endangered Species Act and the wildlife that depends on it.

Tell your Senators: Stop the attacks on our wildlife!

The truth is, the GOP isn’t concerned about whether the Endangered Species Act works. It’s concerned about whether the law gets in the way of Big Oil and Big Ag’s rampant destruction of our environment.

Big Oil and Big Ag are likely doing everything they can to make sure Congress decimates the Endangered Species Act. So it’s up to you to make sure your Senators know what their constituents think: our wildlife matters more than polluters’ profits.

Speak up NOW to save endangered species from extinction! Don’t let the GOP roll back the Endangered Species Act!

Our national monuments are under attack.  Donald Trump is set to issue an executive order TODAY to let the fossil fuel industry destroy these special places. This means that soon, visitors to Grand Staircase-Escalante, Bears Ears and other natural wonders could see, hear and smell coal mines and oil wells. We need your help to stop this attack!

Tell the Senate to step in and stop Trump from destroying our national monuments!

It’s being reported that Trump’s Executive Order will force the review of every monument that’s been protected since 1996. That would put more than 50 national monuments -- more than one billion acres of wild places -- at risk.

Congress can still block these attacks on our natural and cultural heritage. We have a real shot at stopping the destruction of our national monuments -- but we need you to speak up now!

Tell your Senators: Don’t let Trump open Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears to drilling and mining!

Trump’s vision of our environment is clear. He thinks your national monuments are first and foremost meant to help his Big Oil friends.

We can’t let him hand over these places to the fossil fuel industry. We need your help to fight back!

Stop Trump from handing over our national monuments to Big Oil: Write to your Senators now!

Donald Trump is trying to gut the Energy Star program. The program -- which is run by the EPA -- rates appliances and buildings on their energy efficiency. It has kept 2.7 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases from polluting our planet. And it has saved Americans roughly $362 billion in energy costs.

We need your help to stop Trump from getting rid of this program!

Tell your Senators: Don’t let Trump gut Energy Star!

Energy Star is one of the EPA’s most well-known programs. It has bipartisan support in Congress. It’s even popular among manufacturers and building owners.

So why is Trump taking aim at this program? Maybe because the buildings he owns receive low Energy Star ratings. 

Energy Star ratings can affect property values. So Trump’s businesses could benefit from eliminating Energy Star.

Tell your Senators: Stop Trump from gutting Energy Star to benefit his businesses!

Getting rid of Energy Star is just one part of Trump’s efforts to gut the EPA. He’s also aiming to get rid of the Clean Power Plan and Clean Water Rule. He wants to slash the agency’s resources and cut its staff.

The good news is, these attacks are so extreme that even some Republican Senators oppose them. We have a real chance at stopping the cuts to Energy Star -- but we need you to speak up NOW!

Take action: Defend the Energy Star program from Trump’s attacks!

Last month, Donald Trump signed an Executive Order threatening Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monument with drilling, mining and logging. These monuments boast 1.9 million acres of canyons, arches, and piñon-juniper forests. They house artifacts, buildings, and sacred spaces of Native American communities. The Department of the Interior is accepting public comments on whether to let Big Oil destroy Bears Ears. So we need you to speak up NOW and help save this special place!

Trump’s Executive Order forces the review of National Monuments that have been protected since 1996. It puts more than 50 National Monuments -- more than one billion acres of wild places -- at risk.

That means visitors to our natural wonders could see, hear and smell coal mines and oil wells.

Bears Ears is the first monument being targeted by Big Oil. This week, Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke is visiting Utah to scope out its drilling potential for himself.

Now is the time to show Secretary Zinke that you want our lands to remain protected. With your help, we can demonstrate that rolling back protections for Bears Ears would be a tragic mistake.

Add your comment: Say NO to fossil fuel development in our wild places!

Trump’s vision for our environment is clear. He thinks our national monuments are first and foremost meant to help his Big Oil friends.

We can’t let him hand over these places to the fossil fuel industry. We need your help to fight back!

Stop Trump from handing over our national monuments to Big Oil: Write to the Department of the Interior now!

Ignoring industrial pollution. Bending to Big Oil’s interests. Hiring a shady firm to terrorize staff who want to follow science.

These are just a few of the ways Donald Trump and Scott Pruitt are trying to destroy the Environmental Protection Agency from the inside.

The result? Communities across the country are facing hazardous exposure to toxic waste and polluted air -- all to line the coffers of corporate and fossil fuel interests.

Tell Congress: Stop Donald Trump and Scott Pruitt from letting polluters poison our communities!

Scott Pruitt is a climate denier who has spent his career suing the Environmental Protection Agency. Now that he’s in charge of that same agency, he’s doing everything he can to undermine its core mission.

Pruitt pushed out more than 700 agency staff and started monitoring the emails of anyone who expressed concerns with the agency’s direction. He took steps to gut the Clean Power Plan. And he is spending more time courting fossil fuel industry executives than holding them accountable for destroying our air, water and climate.

Together Trump and Pruitt pose the gravest threat to our environment and public health that we've ever seen. We need your help to fight back.

Tell your Senators to stand up to Trump’s attacks on our environmental protections!

Trump has stacked his government with anti-science extremists, billionaires and fossil fuel industry shills. Now, they’re using their positions to advance their corporate interests -- not the interests of the American people.

These attacks on our critical social and environmental protections go beyond the EPA. Last week the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention banned seven words -- including “science-based,” “diversity,” “transgender” and “evidence-based” -- from budget documents.

Congress could step in and stop Trump and Pruitt but instead, it’s letting them destroy our environment to the benefit of corporate polluters. We need you to urge your Senators to do their jobs and stand up to Trump!

Tell your Senators: Stop Trump’s anti-science, anti-environmental agenda!

The Mercer Family Foundation has sunk millions of dollars into Breitbart, climate-denying politicians, and a host of climate denial organizations.

But the head of the foundation, Rebekah Mercer, sits on the board of one of our nation’s largest and most respected natural history museums -- the American Museum of Natural History.

Friends of the Earth is joining a broad coalition of groups to kick Rebekah Mercer off the board of this museum -- but we need your help!

Tell the American Museum of Natural History: It’s time to get science deniers out of science museums -- remove Rebekah Mercer from your board!

The Mercer Family Foundation funds organizations like the Heartland Institute, CO2 Coalition, and the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide. These groups hold extreme anti-science views -- including the claim that carbon emissions are good for people and the planet.

The science is clear: We need to act fast to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. But the Mercer-funded network says the opposite.

Climate deniers don’t belong in leadership positions at science institutions. The American Museum of Natural History should cut ties with science deniers now.

Sign the petition to kick Rebekah Mercer off the board of the American Museum of Natural History!

With Donald Trump in the White House, science and scientists are under constant attack. We need our trusted institutions of science now more than ever. The AMNH's ties to donor and trustee Rebekah Mercer risk undermining the museum's credibility and eroding the public trust. That is too high a price to pay.

Nearly two years ago, Friends of the Earth members like you helped kick David Koch off the board of this museum. Now it's time to do the same with Mercer.

Take action now: Say NO to anti-science extremists on the board of the American Museum of Natural History!

Moments ago, the Trump administration -- led by Interior Secretary Zinke -- announced that it is gutting a critical protection for public health and the environment.

The Bureau of Land Management’s methane waste rule stopped oil and gas companies from pointlessly venting and flaring methane on our public lands. Now, Zinke’s rollback of this rule will mean more air pollution, public health threats, and climate pollution.

The only reason for Zinke to roll back this rule is to help his friends in the fossil fuel industry. We need your help to speak out against this destructive agenda!

Sign the petition: Say NO to Zinke’s latest giveaway to the fossil fuel industry!

Methane is one of the biggest drivers of climate change. What’s more, it’s linked to severe public health impacts -- including increasing the risk of asthma and cancer.

Zinke's own agency found that rolling back the BLM methane rule will cost Americans more than $1 billion in wasted natural gas and pollution. This rollback will mean less funding for our schools and communities, more wasted energy, and more air pollution threatening the health of our families. But Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has chosen to steamroll our health and environment by gutting the rule.

Even worse, this rollback comes days after the administration took aim at the Environmental Protection Agency’s methane rules. In short, this is an all-out assault on protections from this destructive greenhouse gas.

Take action now: Stop Trump from gutting our protections from greenhouse gases!

Time is running out to prevent climate chaos. We need stronger action to avoid the worst, not a rollback of our existing rules.

We must stand together and tell Secretary Zinke that this attack on common sense will only make the problem of methane waste and air pollution worse.

Help us send 50,000 signatures to the Department of the Interior opposing the rollback of the methane rule!

This week, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler downplayed the threat of climate chaos on national TV. Meanwhile, communities across the country are feeling the devastating impacts of a warming Earth -- from flooding in the Midwest, to wildfires in the Southwest, to hurricanes in the East.

To combat Wheeler and the GOP’s climate denial, we need Congress to pass a Green New Deal that includes a just transition away from fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas.

This idea is gaining momentum. But Congress won’t act unless we keep the pressure on. That’s why Friends of the Earth staff and volunteers are coming together next week to talk about our plan to pass a strong Green New Deal, advance investigations into the Trump administration and hold our elected officials accountable to taking action on climate. Can you join us?

Sign up now to join next week’s briefing call! Get the inside scoop on the fight for a Green New Deal that includes a just transition away from fossil fuels!

Your advocacy for a strong Green New Deal has already made an impact. Our movement sparked a national conversation in the news and in the halls of Congress.

What’s more, your activism has drawn attention not only to the threat of climate chaos, but to the bad actors responsible for the crisis -- the fossil fuel industry executives reaping massive profits while the world burns, and their friends in the Trump administration.

Now it’s time to go even further -- by taking action at Congressional district offices when your Representative is home for recess next month. We have to remind Representatives across the country that we need a Green New Deal now -- one that phases out fossil fuels and transitions the economy to 100 percent renewable energy, decarbonizes transportation and expands access to affordable public transit, transitions away from energy-intensive, polluting, inequitable industrial agriculture and builds a healthy, just food system where organic is for all, ensures a fair and just transition led by impacted workers and communities, includes a national jobs guarantee, and upholds Indigenous rights.

But Mike, our success depends on you -- will you sign up to join us next week and show you’re still committed to the fight for a strong Green New Deal?

Sign up now to join next week’s briefing call! Learn the latest in the movement for a Green New Deal, and how your help can make it stronger!

Andrew Wheeler still runs the EPA. Trump is still in the White House. The GOP is still in control of the Senate. And they are still doing everything they can to defend their billionaire, Big Oil friends and silence the voices all who protest.

But we can’t give in, because our planet can’t wait. There is no doubt that climate change is real and it is happening now. Average global temperatures are increasing. Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising -- and so are we.

The solutions we need are in sight -- renewable energy, sustainable agriculture and millions of jobs that put communities on the front lines of environmental destruction first in the fight to stop it. But we have to keep fighting for a real plan to achieve them.

Friends of the Earth isn’t giving up -- but this moment requires every single member like you to step up. Can you join us next week and help win the fight for a healthy and just future for all?

Yesterday, the UN released a report saying the world faces ecological collapse unless we take urgent action to change our social and economic systems to protect the environment.

The devastating report shows how the massive global decline of bees and other insects, along with other critical species, is setting us on a path to catastrophe. And this decline is largely thanks to industrial agriculture and the use of toxic pesticides.

But instead of shifting our economy and environmental policy to address this looming crisis, Donald Trump is continuing to hand over our planet to Big Ag. Right now his EPA is considering greenlighting the continued use of glyphosate -- a.k.a. Monsanto’s Roundup®. We need your help to stop it!

Tell the EPA: Stop the looming ecological collapse -- ban Monsanto’s Roundup®!

Roundup® is linked to the decline of the iconic monarch butterfly. The pesticide wipes out milkweed, the only food young monarchs eat. It’s a simple formula, more Roundup® = less milkweed = fewer monarchs.

The numbers are staggering. Monarch populations have declined nearly 70 percent in the past two decades. This corresponds with the massive increase in the use of Roundup®.

Monarchs and other pollinators are the canaries in the corn fields. Entire ecosystems rely on insects. If pesticides wipe out those insects, the impacts could be devastating – for butterflies, but also for our food system and communities who depend on healthy ecosystems around the world.

The only way to stop this catastrophic collapse is to get pesticides like Roundup® out of our food system and shift to organic, regenerative farming. The Trump administration is threatening to move us in the opposite direction. We need your help to stop it.

Take action now: Tell the EPA to get toxic pesticides like Roundup® out of our food system!

The UN report calls for urgent regulatory change and makes a compelling case for “transformational change.” That means we need to address our global economic, financial and social systems. We can no longer afford to tackle the crises of climate, biodiversity and economic inequality separately – we must address them together.

Getting Roundup® out of our food system is one important step toward doing that. The pesticide makes millions in profits for Monsanto -- which it can pour back into our political system to avoid further regulation. Additionally, the impacts of our industrial agriculture system are greatest on rural communities and farmworkers who are highly exposed to Roundup and other toxic pesticides.

In other words, one simple action -- banning Roundup® -- could have a huge impact on communities around the country. At the same time, it would stem the decline of monarch butterflies and other essential pollinators. And it would put power back in the hands of people like you and me, not Big Ag companies like Monsanto.

The EPA is required to consider the opinion of people like you as it weighs whether to restrict Roundup®. So we need you to speak up now.

Help send 30,000 comments to the EPA: Protect monarch butterflies and communities across the country by banning Roundup®!

Hurricanes have barreled towards almost every coastal state east of the Mississippi this year. A key contributor? Warmer than average water surface temperatures.

These storms are becoming more frequent and more severe in part due to climate change -- which is why we need to kick anti-environment extremists like Thom Tillis out of the Senate. Help get out the vote in North Carolina.

Tillis supported the Atlantic Coast Pipeline in North Carolina. This fracked gas pipeline would have locked the state into another several decades of reliance on climate-destroying fossil fuels. The good news is, Tillis is one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the nation. Flipping his seat is vital. Will you to take action to get him voted out of office?

What: National phone bank: Call voters to kick Thom Tillis out of the Senate

Where: From home -- All you need is a phone and computer with Internet access.

We are three weeks from the election. Call voters in North Carolina and help kick Thom Tillis out of the Senate!

Thom Tillis is known for his allegiance to the fossil fuel industry. He received over $220,000 from Oil and Gas companies.

For years, Tillis has pushed a climate denier agenda. He’s voted with Trump 95% of the time and has a lifetime environmental score of 9% from the League of Conservation Voters. He even helped confirm David Bernhardt as Secretary of the Interior -- putting North Carolina’s public lands at risk of being handed over to Big Oil and the timber industry.

We need your help to remind voters that Tillis has Big Oil and Gas in his back pocket. He’ll do nothing as North Carolina is pummeled by hurricanes again and again if his polluter buddies’ profits are at stake.

Mike, can you take two hours to call voters in North Carolina and remind them what is at stake this election?

Help remind North Carolinians to vote for the environment, not politicians with Big Oil in their back pockets.

With the election right around the corner, we need your help to push Thom Tillis out of office. We have contact information for environmental voters in North Carolina. A simple phone call to these voters will remind them what’s at stake and make a huge difference. One conversation can determine whether or not voters cast their ballot safely -- especially in the midst of a pandemic.

We make it easy to take action. Our secure system is set up so that you never need to share your phone number with strangers. You can participate from your own home -- all you need is access to a phone and computer.

Sign up now to call voters and we’ll give you everything you need: from talking points about Thom Tillis to up-to-date info on polling place locations, vote by mail rules and more. We’ll even do a virtual training with you before you start making calls. And we’ll be on hand to answer your questions.

Join the virtual phone bank to stop Thom Tillis and his Big Oil cronies. All you need is a phone and computer with Internet access!

North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis supported the nomination of Lawrence VanDyke to the Ninth Circuit Court -- a man who spent his career opposing environmental protections. Help get out the vote in North Carolina.

VanDyke supported the expansion of oil and gas on public lands, opposed protecting one million acres of the Grand Canyon watershed from uranium mining, and challenged protections of sage-grouse habitats.

Tillis’s support for Justice VanDkye shows that he doesn’t care about protecting our public lands, public health and environment. Now, Tillis is running in one of the most contested Senate races in the country. We need your help to call pro-environment voters in North Carolina to remind them what is at stake.

Trump’s last-minute rally in Nebraska this week left thousands of his supporters stranded in the cold -- sending several to the hospital with hypothermia. Help get out the vote for Kara Eastman.

Trump knew he didn’t have enough supporters in Omaha to attract a big crowd. So his team bussed them in from distant suburbs. But the campaign only planned a portion of the event -- getting supporters to the rally and as much Trump propaganda as they could fit in. They neglected to plan busses to get people home, leaving them stranded miles from home on a frigid night.

Omaha is a key battleground for Trump -- and also home to a close Congressional race. Pipeline fighter Kara Eastman is battling Trump crony Don Bacon for a House seat. If Kara wins, it could also swing the presidential race -- since Nebraska assigns Electoral College votes by Congressional district.

Trump knows he’s in trouble in Nebraska! Kara Eastman needs your help to push her over the finish line. Can you join us for two hours on Sunday?

President-Elect Biden’s inauguration is only a few weeks away. Tell Biden’s inaugural committee to reject corporate contributions.

While the inaugural committee has already committed to rejecting money from fossil fuel corporations, it is still planning to accept donations up to $1 million from other corporations.

If the Biden-Harris administration is serious about “building back better” in a way that remedies the longstanding ills of the country, it should not let corporate interests buy their way in.

Tell Biden’s transition team to reject corporate contributions for his inauguration.

This year’s inauguration will be different due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of traditional gala balls and parties happening in person, most of the inauguration will be happening online -- meaning there’s even less of an excuse to raise money from corporate interest to fund it.

But the dramatically downsized inauguration is still taking benefactors who will receive perks in exchange for their contributions. Each donation tier has different perks, ranging from an invitation to a briefing to an invitation to a virtual event with President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris. All equal rubbing elbows with the new leader of the United States.

Biden should immediately halt this potential corrupting influence.

Take Action: Call upon the Biden-Harris transition team to reject money from corporate contributions.

All corporate donations come with unspoken strings attached. Wall Street, Big Ag, Big Tech, Pharma, military contractors, for-profit schools, and beyond can currently donate to the inauguration fund -- and all have ulterior motives for their “generosity.” 

Corporations do not give so Biden can have a spectacular inauguration -- instead, they’re giving to befriend the President-Elect and his trusted circle. 

While refusing money from the fossil fuel industry was a first step, the inaugural committee has still opened the door for other corporations to buy their influence.

30,000 signatures still needed: Urge Joe Biden’s inaugural committee to expand its ban on donations to encompass all major corporate sectors.

In April, an ash pond burst at the Sasan coal plant and mine in the remote district of Singrauli, India. This caused a flood of toxic coal ash. Six people died. Take action to stop the US from financing this deadly project.

The U.S. government helped prop up the coal plant responsible for this disaster. The Export-Import Bank, Ex-Im, provided $917 million in long-term financing to Reliance Power to construct and operate the plant.

We need your help to stop the U.S. from continuing to finance this dirty project and polluting company.

Take Action: Demand Ex-Im terminate its involvement with the Sasan coal plant and mine.

Burning coal releases toxic pollutants in the environment. It produces carbon dioxide, mercury and sulfur dioxide – which have been linked to acid rain. And coal is one of the leading contributors to climate change.

Additionally, coal ash harms our health. Residents living near coal plants have an increased risk of respiratory problems, heart and kidney disease, and central nervous system issues. A study found blood samples from residents living near the Sasan coal plant had mercury levels six times higher than what is considered to be safe.

Since its spill in April, Ex-Im has made no public statements and taken no concrete actions to hold anyone accountable for the devastation and deaths of six people. Mike, will you demand that our tax dollars not be utilized to fund these abuses towards people and our planet?

Tell Ex-Im: Stop your investment and involvement in the deadly Sasan coal plant.

Ex-Im has been regularly notified about the destruction the Sasan coal plant has caused to local communities, villagers, and the habitat. In 2015, the Inspector General of Ex-Im issued a report stating that the plant was responsible for 19 fatalities. Since then, reports have shown an additional 8 deaths linked to the Sasan coal plant and mine, although the death count is likely even higher.

But Ex-Im continues to look the other way and use your tax dollars to enable this dirty project to operate.

Enough is enough. We can’t let Ex-Im be complicit in the negligent operations of the Sasan coal plant and its operator, Reliance Power. But we need your help to push the bank to pull out of its investments.

Demand Ex-Im cut all ties with Reliance Power and the Sasan coal plant.

Our country is still reeling from the siege on the Capitol this week. Donald Trump presents a clear and present danger to our democracy, public safety, and rule of the law. But Trump did not act alone. Take action to hold Republican members of Congress accountable for enabling Trump.

Republican lawmakers lent credibility to Donald Trump’s baseless claims that the election was stolen from him. This empowered him to incite armed extremists to disrupt the transition of power.

While their attempted coup did not pan out as they had hoped, Republicans who attempted to overturn the election must face consequences.

Demand these members of Congress be investigated and expelled!

On Wednesday night -- despite being under lockdown hours earlier -- more than 100 members of the House Republican caucus still voted to dispute the election results.

These Representatives violated their oath of office to uphold the Constitution. And the American people were left in the balance as we held a collective breath to see if our democracy would hold.

The violent siege of the US Capitol Building by armed extremists was months in the making. Trump’s Republican Congressional cronies contributed to and amplified misinformation as Trump attempted to delegitimize the electoral process and the certification of Electoral College votes, and spread conspiracy theories and fear.

The continued escalation of legal challenge after legal challenge was baseless, but not without consequence. White supremacy radicals were stuck on every word and every conspiracy theory presented from their elected officials.

Newly elected Representative Cori Bush has introduced a measure to expel House Republicans who voted to discredit the election results. This is the only way to hold them accountable.

Hold Republican lawmakers accountable for enabling Trump to incite a siege of the Capitol.

The integrity of our democracy has been tested. The events of Wednesday were deeply unsettling, but even more unsettling -- after sheltering in secure locations for hours, these Congressional Republicans voted in solidarity with Donald Trump and overturing the election.

Enough is enough. It is time for those who called for chaos to be brought to justice. Hold them to their sacred oath.

Protect the United States from Representatives not upholding their oaths. Sign now.

Trump has just begun the last phase of his destructive rush to open the sacred Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling. Chip in now and protect the Arctic Refuge from this existential threat.

$25 an acre. That was the starting bid price for over 10,000 years of pristine, incomparable wilderness.

Trump and Big Oil’s goal is to turn the entire region into a fossil fuel wasteland -- a blow to the Arctic, and to our climate, from which there would be no recovery. This is a last-minute push by the administration to attack our public lands, trample Indigenous rights, and lock in unthinkable destruction and irreversible climate change while they still hold power. And it’s all for the sake of corporate greed, and yet another payday to the wealthiest industry on the planet.

This is how nature dies -- how priceless landscapes and irreplaceable species are lost forever. We’ve seen it before. We don’t have to let it happen this time.

Help stop the Trump administration’s latest scheme to turn the Arctic Refuge into a fossil fuel wasteland -- rush a $27 donation to Friends of the Earth today.

Procter & Gamble is the world’s largest consumer goods company. It has a long history of destroying and degrading forests from Borneo to the Boreal. Last year the company’s shareholders voted overwhelmingly for the company to halt these practices. Take action now.

To source pulp for Charmin Toilet Paper, Procter & Gamble’s suppliers clear cut Canadian Boreal forests, known as the “Amazon of the North.” These forests shelter vast herds of caribou and have been protected for millennia by the Indigenous peoples that call the Boreal forests home. Across the world, Procter & Gamble’s palm oil suppliers devastate Indonesia’s tropical rainforests to provide ingredients for its soaps and shampoos.

In 2020, a full two-thirds of Procter & Gamble’s shareholders voted to make the company end the destruction. Michael, can we count on your help to make Procter & Gamble honor its promises?

Tell Procter & Gamble and its top shareholders to take real action to halt deforestation!

Montana Republican Senator Steve Daines and Wyoming Senator John Barrasso are trying to block the confirmation of Rep. Deb Haaland for Secretary of the Interior. Take action now.

Deb Haaland is an advocate for Indigenous rights, keeping fossil fuels in the ground, and banning fracking. She would be the first Indigenous leader of the Department of the Interior -- an agency that has huge influence over Indigenous issues. 

In contrast, both Daines and Barrasso signaled their support for Trump’s failed Bureau of Land Management nominee William Perry Pendley, an unapologetic racist who said Black Lives Matter was based on a lie and that Indigenous concerns were driven by “religious myth.” Now they are trying to prevent Haaland from getting the job. Tell your Senators to confirm her to lead the Department of the Interior.

Take action now to support Deb Haaland, the first Indigenous Secretary of the Interior.

Deb Haaland is perceived as a threat to GOP Senators who are more concerned with polluter paychecks than their constituents. Haaland understands how important it is to respect Indigenous soverienty, protect our public lands and keep fossil fuels in the ground -- both for local communities and for the environment. 

It’s no wonder Steve Daines and John Barrasso are leading the charge against her -- if she’s in a position to crack down on fossil fuel leasing on public lands, it may directly impact their pockets. They have taken $1,158,847 and $572,327, respectively, from the oil and gas industry.

Deb Haaland -- fossil fuel fighter and Dakota Access Pipeline water protector -- has the knowledge and experience to get things done. But Daines and other Senate Republicans could stand in her way.

Demand your Senators support Deb Haaland and protect local communities and our planet. 

Steve Daines is a stolen election conspiracy theorist and insurrectionist supporter. While he didn’t storm the Capitol, he did fan the flames by protesting the valid election process.

Now he’s at it again, this time trying to stand in the way of Deb Haaland’s appointment. He is using his extreme rhetoric to fire up his base, calling her views “radical”. But there is nothing radical about not wanting pipelines to pollute our air, our water, and our communities. 

Let’s be perfectly clear -- Daines is only in opposition because his Big Oil allies are afraid she’ll stand up to them. Will you take a stand to protect our environment from Big Oil polluters and their Republican cronies?

Support Deb Haaland’s nomination and protect our public lands from the fossil fuel industry. 

Hunters are corralling baby wolf pups into their dens and killing them with guns and dynamite -- and it's all completely legal. Protect wolves now with a $27 donation to Friends of the Earth Action.

Yes, you read that right. Hunters now have the right to snare, shoot, and even dynamite wolf pups in their dens. It’s appalling, it’s barbaric, and it’s wrong.

And it’s happening despite the fact that gray wolf populations are functionally extinct across most of the country. We need your help to stop this attack on some of our most vulnerable wildlife!

The Endangered Species Act is one of the most successful environmental laws ever passed, saving treasured species like sea otters, bald eagles, and grizzly bears from the brink of extinction. It’s also been critical to the success of local economies that depend on these very species to thrive.

But during the Trump administration, the Endangered Species Act was dismantled at every turn, and it led to horrific outcomes for animals like wolf pups and bear cubs on wildlife preserves -- who hunters can now legally kill.

Trump’s assault on wildlife was the worst we’ve seen from any president. Few animals have suffered more from this than America’s wolves. 

Now, bad actors are working to uphold Trump-era rules and gut other animal protection laws, all to benefit corporate interests and wealthy developers -- and the Interior Department isn't doing enough to stop it. We need you. Animals need you.

Gunned down from helicopters. Dynamited in their homes. It’s open season on wolves, who are being slaughtered without mercy -- and now, another big wolf hunt is scheduled for this fall.

Wisconsin’s wolves are being hunted down and slaughtered indiscriminately, with barbaric tactics including dynamiting wolf pups in their own dens. And their next big wolf “harvest” is coming this fall.

Meanwhile, Montana and Idaho have passed laws legalizing brutal “hunting” methods like snares and helicopter chases. In May, Idaho called for the killing of 90% of its wolf population -- only 150 wolves would remain.

It’s appalling, it’s barbaric, and it’s wrong. This shouldn’t be happening to any animal, period -- let alone a species that is already functionally extinct across most of the country. We need your help to stop these attacks on wildlife!

Wolves are one of America’s greatest conservation stories. After centuries of being harassed, vilified, and hunted indiscriminately, wolves had begun to make a slow but promising recovery over the past six decades. But now, this recovery is under threat.

Wolves still occupy less than 10% of their historic range. Without their Endangered Species Protections, we could lose 60 years of conservation efforts -- and some of America’s most iconic wildlife -- in just the next few years.

The Endangered Species Act is one of the most successful environmental laws ever passed. It has saved treasured species like sea otters, bald eagles, and grizzly bears from the brink of extinction. It has also benefited local economies that depend on these very species to thrive.

But the Trump administration dismantled the Endangered Species Act at every turn, and it led to horrific outcomes for animals like wolf pups and bear cubs on wildlife preserves -- who hunters can now legally kill.

Now, lobbyists and bad actors are working to uphold Trump-era rules and gut other animal protection laws, all to benefit corporate interests and wealthy developers. The Interior Department isn't doing enough to stop it, so it’s up to us to pressure the Biden administration to do the right thing. We need you. Endangered animals need you.

From the decimation of bumble bees to record low numbers of monarch butterflies along the California coast, researchers are starting to warn about a looming INSECT APOCALYPSE. And even though we know many of the biggest threats to pollinators' survival come from Big Polluters, corporate giants continue to profit from bee-killing pesticides. That's why we're asking for your help holding them accountable today. Will you take action by signing our petition now?

Toxic pesticides, like Bayer-Monsanto's Roundup and neonics, are a key driver behind these disastrous pollinator deaths. And even though other countries have banned these pesticides, the U.S. has dragged its feet rather than protect bees and butterflies. In fact, we continue spraying more than a BILLION pounds of pesticides every year. But we don't have to live like this – and pollinators don't have to die like this.

If you raise your voice now, we CAN make a difference. But we need 26 more environmentalists from your zip code to speak out before midnight, and your name is still missing. Please, we're all counting on you: Add your name to DEMAND that companies like Bayer-Monsanto be BANNED from selling toxic, pollinator-killing pesticides!
