| 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!

Weekly Address: The Export – Import Bank
Weekly Address: The Export-Import Bank
In this week’s address, the President highlighted the progress made towards rebuilding our economy, including the creation of nearly 10 million new private sector jobs in the past 53 months and the rise in the number of American exports to an all-time high.
That growth is in part thanks to the actions of the U.S. Export-Import Bank, an organization that creates American jobs by helping to take American businesses global. The charter of the Export-Import Bank is slated to expire next month, unless Members of Congress renew it, as has happened 16 times in the past with support from Democrats and Republicans.
The President asked business owners and employees to reach out to their representatives, who are home this month, and let them know how important it is that the Export-Import Bank continue its work so that American businesses can continue to grow.

Chart of the Week: Auto Production at Its Highest Rate Since 2002
The American auto industry remains a cornerstone of our economy — a key source of our ability to export, innovate, and create jobs. During the economic turmoil of the Great Recession, the auto sector shed hundreds of thousands of jobs, and production dropped to the lowest level recorded in data going back to the 1960s. In 2009, President Obama took decisive action to rescue the industry from imminent collapse, saving more than 1 million jobs across the country.
Now, our auto industry is once again a source of economic strength, with more and more of the world’s top-of-the-line, fuel-efficient vehicles being made by American workers in American factories. In fact, the number of cars coming off our assembly lines just reached its highest level in 12 years.
