Forced to surrender beloved pet?

Cameron — Hurricane Ian devastated parts of Florida. Citizens have been forced to abandon their homes and seek shelter in hotels across the state. But things became even more unfathomable when some were forced to surrender their beloved pets. Judith says Floridians have suffered enough. Sign her petition to ask hotels to suspend their no-pet policies for individuals affected by this terrible storm. Hotels should alter no-pet policies for storm victims 2,580 have signed Judith Dieckmann's petition. Let's get to 5,000! Sign now with a click This morning the news included a soundbite from a woman forced to surrender her beloved dog. Her home was destroyed/is currently uninhabitable due to Hurricane Ian and the hotel she has to stay in has a no-pet policy. Why can't people and animals who have already lost all that is familiar stay together? They have already been through so much and need whatever comfort and support they can access. Not only should homeowner and renter insurance policies cover adequate accommodation for *all* family members but hotels/motels in evacuation zones should suspend any rules about no animals allowed for storm victims. They are making money off of extended stays, surely that can cover any damage or deep cleaning required. Asking all major hotel and motel chains to suspend their no-pet policies for storm affected humans throughout their stays.  Asking that all homeowner and renter ALE (Additional Living Expenses) insurance policies extend accommodation coverage to all family members whether they are human or not.  Sign now with a click Visit petition page At Change.org, we believe in the voice of everyday people.

I need you in this with me

Cameron —    With less than 50 days until the midterm elections, When We All Vote, my voting initiative, is gearing up for our National Voter Registration Week of Action. It's a critical moment for us to register our friends, family, and community ahead of these important midterm elections.    Historically, turnout in midterm elections is lower than the presidential election—but we know that if we work together, we can increase voter turnout. There's a lot to do over the next few weeks to make sure everyone makes their voices heard, and we need your help.    Here's what you can do: >>First, check your own voter registration right now. >>Next, get three of your friends to do the same. From Congress to your local government, there's so much on the ballot: access to health care, how communities are policed, the judges who make decisions in courts at every level, how this country combats climate change, and more.  I know people sometimes wonder if their hard work is just a drop in the ocean—but I want you to know that every bit counts. Voting in every election is an investment in our future and takes us one step closer to securing a democracy that works for us all. We can't forget that.  Will you help me and my team by checking your voter registration right now? It only takes a few minutes. Our vote is our voice. It's our power. It's how we can build communities where we can thrive.  Thank you for all you do. Let's get to work.

Cancer-causing chemicals in food?

Cameron — Over 4.5 billion pounds of herbicides are sprayed into our soils, plants, and water systems. Glyphosate, the most commonly used herbicide, has been found to cause harm to the human body, including cancer. Dr. Zach Bush started a petition calling on President Biden to phase out glyphosate and other chemical desiccants in our food systems. Add your name to urge federal regulators to keep these harmful chemicals out of the food people eat.  Ban Glyphosate: Keep harmful chemicals out of our foods 121,886 have signed Zach Bush's petition. Let's get to 150,000! Sign now with a click Over the last 25 years, we have seen the most profound explosion of chronic disease and infertility in human history. Research suggests that the 4.5 billion pounds of herbicides we spray into our soils, plants, and water systems are part of the reason why. My name is Zach Bush and I've worked at the intersection of agriculture and the human health space for over 12 years. I've seen first-hand that, until we change how we are doing things, human and planetary health will continue to be at risk. Glyphosate is the most commonly used herbicide globally–– it also impairs our bodies' and brains' ability to function properly. Glyphosate has been found to cause injuries to the cellular function of our bodies including epigenetic, metabolic, neurologic, autoimmune, and cancers. However, farmers continue to use it to expedite uniform harvests. Every country that has adopted widespread chemical agriculture practices has seen rising rates of these illnesses. Bayer, a company that manufactures glyphosate, lost enormous lawsuits to plaintiffs who claimed that glyphosate exposure caused their cancer. They have set aside over $10 billion to settle the ongoing glyphosate litigation. But the U.S. Federal government continues to approve its use. People are starting to take notice. In 2020, $200M was paid out as damages for glyphosate-related cancer cases. More recently, the 9th circuit court in California overturned the EPA's "Glyphosate safe for human consumption" position that has been held at the Federal level for over 40 years. Meanwhile, the regulatory and legal stances against glyphosate haven't changed. As farmers adopt regenerative farming methods, we can eventually rule out the use of glyphosate and chemical desiccants altogether. We can change how we approach soil and food system management and revitalize this planet. Sign and share this petition to urge the EPA, USDA, FDA, and President Biden to phase out glyphosate and other chemical desiccants in our food systems. The health of our planet and its people depends on it. Sign now with a click Visit petition page At Change.org, we believe in the voice of everyday people. Is there something that you want to change?
