 Moms who work at Walmart are fed up! And this week, in more than 20 cities across the country, they’re going on strike to protest the company’s retaliation against its employees who have spoken up about inequality.
Can you stand with them at a store near you?
Thanks for stepping up at this important moment, Smiley Director of Campaigns, Jobs With Justice P.S. If you can’t make it to an action, check out this powerful video on how we’re all living in the Walmart Economy.

Take the pledge. Reduce your meat consumption!
 |
Looking for a healthy alternative to meat? For every Earth Day Sampler Pack, Paleta will donate a dollar to plant a tree through EDN’s Canopy Project.
|
Did you know that the meat industry is responsible for about 20% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions? That’s more than the entire transportation sector! The production and distribution of meat doesn’t just consume a lot of energy and cause greenhouse gas emissions, it also requires a huge amount of water—up to 2,500 gallons to produce just one pound of beef. Take the pledge to reduce your meat consumption today! And the problem is getting worse. Over the last 10 years alone, global meat consumption has increased by 20%. So what can we do to help solve this problem? It’s simple—eat less meat! In terms of greenhouse gas emissions, eating just one less burger a week for a year is the equivalent of skipping 320 miles of driving. Join us in pledging to not eat meat one day a week. Thanks for your support. -The Earth Day Network Team

Thoughts and prayers
|
After yet another horrific tragedy in Fort Hood this week, we here at the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility would like to offer our thoughts and prayers for all of those affected by this terrible event. But we know all too well that our thoughts and prayers aren’t enough — we have to offer something more. It is times like this that we are reminded that only together can we address gun violence in our communities, here in our state and across the nation.
We in Washington State are standing together and taking the first step in addressing this problem: We’re going to bring I-594, which would apply existing background checks to all firearm sales in Washington, to the ballot in November. In the face of these tragedies, we need to join hands and work together to make our state safer — and we can’t do it without you. Thank you, Zach Silk |
