    Please stop dumping toxic waste right next to a town where the toxins are killing people. Do unto others! This is an outrage and must be stopped, not expanded.

    The Dirty Business Of Turning This Latino Farmworker Town Into A Toxic Wasteland

    **Update via  The Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment

    Last Friday we submitted over 4,900 signatures and comments to the Department of Toxic Substances Control letting them know we aren't ok with Kettleman City being our state's dumping ground! Thank you to everyone who signed and the folks at Cuéntame for speaking up for what is right. We will keep you posted on the future of the dump's permit to expand by a whopping 50% (it is already the largest hazardous waste dump this side of the Mississippi River!)

    Kettleman City is a rural, majority Latino and farmworker community halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is home to the largest hazardous waste dump this side of the Mississippi and to shockingly high rates of childhood cancer, birth defects and miscarriages - two facts residents believe to be connected. WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO EXPOSÉ.

  • signed [VIDEO] What Steve King Has In Mind When He Hears 'Latino Outreach' 2013-07-27 12:22:20 -0700
    The republiCONs only care about rich, white males, period. The rest of us are just deterrents in their never ending obsessive quest to consolidate their power. The CONS have an extremely cruel agenda to destroy this country as they always come out on top with their wealthy benefactors who get them elected. It’s disgusting.

  • signed Side With Justice Over Racism! 2012-04-25 17:02:38 -0700
    Really sad what this country has come to with its racist and anti-women politicians taking over. Nobody except rich, white males and their wives have a chance to succeed.

    Side With Justice Over Racism!

    The United States Supreme Court is hearing arguments in Arizona v. United States, the Obama administration’s challenge to Arizona’s anti-immigration law, SB1070. What they won't be hearing is what and who has fueled this discriminatory legislation.

    Will justice triumph over racial profiling and discrimination fueled by supremacist and nativist fringe groups? We need to stand together in this most pressing time.

    We need to show that together we reject this hate agenda.

    Sign the pledge stating that YOU side with justice over racism!

  • signed Debbie: Say No To CCA! 2012-04-07 18:24:52 -0700
    I’m appalled that a Democrat such as yourself is siding with the for profit CCA instead of listening to your constituents who DO NOT want them to build a prison in their neighborhood. You must be aware that CCA builds detention centers to house immigrants and makes a profit on each immigrant they house. Locking people up to make money doesn’t sound like something a democracy would do.

    Debbie: Say No To CCA!

    Why is FL Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz siding with the Corrections Corporation of America and not her constituents in Southwest Ranches? 98% of her constituents DO NOT want a new for-profit immigrant detention center!

    IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT FOR SALE

    We call on Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-20) to WITHDRAW her current endorsements for CCA’s project.

    The Obama Administration announced a change in the priorities for detentions and deportations, to focus on real national security concerns, not on separating parents from their children or deporting DREAMers who are only seeking a better future.

    It is time for ICE to stop the immigrant money making machine and tell CCA to GO AWAY from Southwest Ranches.

    THIS PETITION IS NOW CLOSED - WE REACHED OUR GOAL!!! But feel free to leave your comment!
