 |
| On September 21st, hundreds of thousands of people from around the world will descend on New York City for the Peoples Climate March to call on world leaders and insist on immediate and drastic action to avoid climate catastrophe. Will you join them?Amazon Watch will accompany several grassroots leaders from the Amazon – including Patricia Gualinga, indigenous leader from the Kichwa community of Sarayaku in the Ecuadorian Amazon, and a group of youth representing the civil society collective, Yasunidos.
We are joining thousands in NY to promote the global call to Keep the Oil in the Ground, from the Amazon to the Arctic. We will also be calling on global leaders, institutions and companies to respect the rights of indigenous peoples, who are key stewards of the environment and hold many of the keys to stopping climate change. In the coming weeks, we’ll send you more information about events planned in New York and how you can join us. Please support this action and share it with your friends so that together we can amplify the voices of those on the front lines of the battle for the planet. For the Amazon and our global climate,

Update about Support Fair Investigations of Police Officers’ on Change.org
Michael Bell Team : Plea for a Change
Change in the institution of law enforcement is difficult however, 50,000 of us are willing to bet it isn’t as difficult as losing a child and being barred, ridiculed and threatened for seeking an unbiased investigation and review of the death of that child.
What kind of parent wouldn’t want all stones turned?
What kind of leader would keep a parent from that information?
Anyone who claims unbiased investigations and sobriety tests make the tough job of officers even tougher should consider this: An intoxicated or mentally unsound or dishonest officer makes a tough job, deadly.
Nothing chips away at the honor of the police profession than negligent oversight. AB409 would protect the honor of the police profession in an honest way.
Please help us continue to get this petition before people. AB409 makes sense.
Thank you so much and Happy New Year!

the FBI and Washington State
 |
| NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre testified in Congress last year that we shouldn’t expand the criminal background checks system to cover more gun sales because — he claims — background checks don’t work.[1]Well, we’ve obtained key FBI data that shows more than 40,000 reasons why LaPierre and the NRA are just plain wrong.Since 1998, the federal background check system has blocked 40,976 dangerous people from buying guns in Washington State — including more than 6,000 domestic abusers.
And that’s precisely why we want to expand background checks to cover all gun sales here, including sales between strangers who meet online or at gun shows. Please help spread the word about this important information on Facebook or on Twitter. Sharing this stat with others will help explain why it’s so important we pass I-594, Washington State’s ballot initiative to expand the state’s background checks law.
If you don’t use Facebook or Twitter, you can still spread the word by forwarding this email to friends and family. Initiative 594 — on the ballot in Washington this fall — would close loopholes in Washington’s background check law so that a convicted felon or domestic abuser can’t buy a gun at a gun show or on the internet without passing the same quick and easy background check that law abiding citizens do every day at gun dealers throughout the state. Passing I-594 into law won’t stop all gun violence — but it is the most effective way to make Washington a safer place for our families. The first step is to make sure our friends, neighbors and family members have the facts about background checks — no matter how hard the NRA’s leadership tries to undermine them. Share the message now: It’s time to close the background check loophole in Washington State.
