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.

Javier Torres signed If You Don't Speak Up, They Will Speak For You... 2013-02-22 14:56:50 -0800These are the very people keep us from the truly important issues at hand and that is the steady and increasing destruction of this country. Those fools shown here are simple-minded, racist cowards that can only speak their hatred of those they don’t understand. How convenient they forget where THEY came from. But, to be reminded you are just pus oozing from a wart on someone’s anus probably stings a little.

Javier Torres signed I Pledge Support Wal-Mart Workers on Black Friday via Javier Torres 2012-11-22 04:01:40 -0800Wal-Mart and their monopolistic practices are the very reason this country is on it’s knees. I would GLADLY pay a few pennies more for something if I knew it would make a difference in keeping work here in America, helping Americans prosper, and save the planet. We’re making China so rich, they will soon own us. They almost do already, this is another reason Wal-Mart cares nothing about America.
I Pledge to Support Wal-Mart Workers On Black Friday
SCROLL DOWN TO SIGN!
Help make change by holding Walmart corporate managers accountable to hourly employees and the public for their practices. Join with community leaders in major cities across America to make sure that any new jobs offered by Walmart meet strong standards for healthy, growing communities.
Pledge to support and join in the strike!

Javier Torres signed Side With Justice Over Racism! 2012-04-25 15:25:26 -0700After all we have been through. After all of the horrific and demeaning terror the African-American community has suffered for decades and to this very day. After all we have gone through as a country, a society, and as a people, we have to deal with idiots like these wanna be NAZIS. Just like one of their “heros” once said, “Bring it on!”. And after the battle, maybe, just maybe we can focus on the REAL terrorists, the Globalists and their agenda for you and I. Regardless of the color of our skin.
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!

Javier Torres signed Debbie: Say No To CCA! 2012-04-08 06:17:44 -0700What do you call a person who does not what is right and just but, does the will and bidding of those he or she does not necessarily agree with? A PROSTITUTE.
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!
Add signatureIMMIGRANTS 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!
