War is no longer the largest taker of young American lives.

Guns are.

And it’s not because we haven’t been at war constantly for the last several decades (sadly, we have).

Even with this reality, there have been more gun-related deaths since 1968 than all cumulative war deaths since the American Revolution.¹

And that’s one of the reasons we made Making a Killing: Guns, Greed, & the NRA.

As we go into Mother’s Day weekend – a holiday that was originally founded for mourning women to remember fallen soldiers and work forpeace – we ask you to share this video and arrange a free screening of Making a Killing at your local school, church, or organizational meeting.²  

None of us should have to live in a country where sending our loved ones to church, a movie, or school is as dangerous as sending them to war. Our daily lives should not be battlefields.

Together, we can fight this war-for-profit that is happening on our very own soil. But only if more people learn about who is to blame, the role of profit and greed – and what can be done to make real change in our lifetime.

As a father and grandfather, I have a lot of great moms in my life. Do this for them – and all of the great moms in your life.

Thanks for your action,

Dear Friends,

Amazon is literally run by the world’s richest person. Of course they should pay their taxes. But in the midst of a homelessness crisis in their hometown, Amazon isn’t interested in doing their part.

Instead, they’re making it worse.

Amazon is not only opposing a City Council proposal for a progressive tax on the few hundred largest businesses in Seattle. They’re actually threatening the people of Seattle by claiming they’ll pause construction depending on how and when the City Council votes. That’s not just greed — it’s behavior you might expect from a subprime mob boss lording it over a company town.

It’s also a crime.

Under RCW 9A.76.180, it’s illegal to use threats to intimidate public servants and influence their votes. The company should be prosecuted for it.

Sign on to tell Attorney General Bob Ferguson to prosecute Amazon for their mob boss behavior. Then keep on clicking to send a letter straight to City Council members to let them know that you think Amazon needs to pay.

We know that corporations owned by the richest people in the world typically oppose progressive taxes. And we’ve come to expect that they’ll routinely issue misleading info & make all kinds of wrong predictions about the impacts of progressive moves by public officials. While the Chicken Little routine can be tedious, it’s not a felony.

But issuing threats to cause harm in order to influence the votes of elected officials is a different matter. It’s a criminal act, and it should be treated as such.

If you’re sick of putting up with Amazon’s bullying, take action by sending a letter to Attorney General Ferguson, and then telling the Seattle City Council why you support the proposed tax for homeless services.

The city has heard enough threats from Jeff Bezos — now they need to hear from us.

Thanks,
Working Washington

She’s literally cooking from the inside.

A whistleblower secretly filmed this — thousands crammed on a filthy ship, slowly boiling to death in the blazing heat. Millions are transported like this every year! But now governments are scrambling before a global meeting on animal welfare — let’s build a massive call to end these death ships!
