    The toxicity from the dump is already past safe levels. NO MORE!!!

    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 Investigate The Maricopa County Elections Department 2012-11-10 08:08:52 -0800
    Completely unacceptable, a disgusting infringement of people’s civil rights.

    Investigate The Maricopa County Elections Department

    566 signatures

    The Maricopa County Elections Department Is Spreading Misinformation On Their Spanish Language Voting Literature. 

    Sign the petition to demand an investigation of the Maricopa County Elections Department! This is a blatant attack on the voter rights of Latinos in Maricopa County. If the Elections Department falls short in admitting that this is fraud, they must at least be investigated for these detrimental mistakes!

  • signed Debbie: Say No To CCA! 2012-06-01 19:43:47 -0700
    Congresswoman, You embarrass me. I had presented you to others as an upholder of right thinking in Congress. But this connection with CCA betrays my confidence in you. Break the CCA connection! Speak out against them and their record!

    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!
