Português | Español | Deutsch | [+] This past weekend, millions of women and supporters of women’s rights marched all over the globe. Amazon Watch also marched, joining our allies in confronting the real and present dangers threatening women and our entire planet. The Women’s March was a powerful message of solidarity and resistance, but it was only a first step in the resistance to the moves by the Trump administration. YES! I WILL RESIST! Indigenous women of the Amazon have long been at the forefront of resistance on behalf of the planet and in defense of their rights and homes. Just as we stand with them, we also stand with our Sioux allies as the Dakota Access Pipeline fight re-escalates. We are all stronger together, and we must renew our commitment to support each other no matter where the next battle takes place. Women standing together in Washington and in the Amazon need our support and our action. In defiance of climate deniers, of “alternative facts”, of handing over the reigns of government to the oil industry, of targeting women, immigrants and people of color, and in defiance of those who destroy nature to extract a profit – we stand together in resistance. Amazon Watch will continue to support efforts for climate justice and human rights in the U.S. and in the Amazon. Our allies and supporters know that our efforts are all interconnected and all lead towards the same goal: respect for human rights and the environment. We are counting on your support. Each of us must commit to do more. Thank you for standing with us and with the resistance. May the forest be with you! Leila Salazar-López Executive Director

The recall applies to the following varieties of Sierra Nevada beer, sold in 12-ounce bottles: Camp Golden IPA, Pale Ale, Sidecar Orange Pale Ale, Tropical Torpedo, Nooner, Hop Hunter, Otra Vez and Torpedo Extra IPA. These bottles could have been purchased by U.S. consumers at stores in the Midwest, South and East Coast, the company said. The exact beers affected by the recall are listed on the company’s website.

Consumers who bought any of the recalled beer are advised not to drink it, and can get a refund.

But what if people who bought the recalled beer already drank it? Sierra Nevada said that if consumers opened and drank a bottle with this flaw, they could have noticed a few things. First, before opening the bottle, the consumer might have noticed signs of the beer leaking out of the top of the bottle. And if the beer was opened, a small piece of the top of the bottle might have broken off, causing the top to appear rough or uneven. If consumed, the beer might have had a “flat” taste due to loss of carbonation, the company said.

If people think they have consumed glass, or if they have a related health concern, they should contact their doctor or call 911, the company advised.

With pen & paper, Donald Trump today declared war on immigrant workers, their families, their co-workers, and their communities.

In other words: on all of us.

Today, Trump signed an executive order which would attempt to close our borders to people seeking better jobs, a better life, and a better future. He signed a second order which would strip federal funding from places whose elected leaders have chosen to protect the rights of immigrant workers and their families. And he announced plans to take further steps that would make religous discrimination part of national policy.

We say no.

Not in our cities. Not in our workplaces. Not in our state.

Join us — add your name to our open letter to elected officials at all levels of government calling on them to join us in resisting the war on immigrant workers, their families, their co-workers, and their communities.

And stay tuned — there will be more to come.

An open letter to elected officials across Washington State

Dear City Council members, County Commissioners, State Legislators, Congress members, and elected officials across the state,

We urge you to do everything in your power to resist the grotesque war on immigrant workers, their families, their co-workers, and their communities that was unleashed today by the Trump Administration. 

We urge you to resist this war because immigrant rights and workers rights have gone hand in hand for centuries. Immigrant airport workers were at the heart of the landmark SeaTac $15 campaign. Immigrant fast food workers were among the leaders of the fight for $15 in Seattle. And immigrant workers from Olympia to Yakima and across the state continue to lead the way forward towards living wages and good jobs for all.

We urge you to resist this war because the example of sanctuary cities like Seattle shows that another world is possible — where everyone is welcome, everyone has rights, and every community can thrive together.

We urge you to resist this war because it is a cruel distraction, and because it will not stand.

And we commit to use our power as workers, voters, and community members to join you in defending the rights of all people who live and work in our communities.

Join us.
