Stand Up For Science and Defend the EPA

Scott Pruitt’s appointment, and the rumored Executive Orders that may follow him from the White House, are a direct threat to the science-based safeguards we depend on from the EPA.

Pick up the phone one more time, and thank your senator for voting in favor of our health and safety, and urge them to defend against any upcoming attacks.

“Despite the ultimate result, you should be proud—I know I am. We knew that opposing Pruitt’s nomination was a long shot. The odds were against us—polluting industries funded a massive pro-Pruitt campaign, and most senators don’t like to oppose a new president’s nominees. Still, we mustered a strong offense, working with coalition partners and mobilizing our supporters across the country.” – Union of Concerned Scientists

Sign the Food and Water Watch petition here to tell your representatives not to eliminate the EPA.

Protect Against the President’s Power to Nuke

As president of the United States, Donald Trump has the sole and supreme authority to launch a nuclear strike without a declaration of war by Congress… Uh, scary. Where are the checks and balances???

We need to speak up and demand that Congress get more involved, reducing nuclear risk and preventing a nuclear catastrophe.

Sign the petition and call on Congress to keep us safe by making it illegal for President Trump, or any successor, to start a nuclear war.

“Introduced by Sen. Edward Markey (D-MA) and Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), this bill can serve as a powerful vehicle to stimulate debate in Congress and get more members of Congress speaking out and demanding changes to a system that puts civilization-ending power, in the hands of one person.” – Union of Concerned Scientists

“Trump exposes the terrifying power of a system built for speed and mass destruction at the president’s sole discretion. From opening the door to using nuclear weapons in the Middle East, to questioning why we have nuclear weapons if we “can’t use” them, Donald Trump has shown just how dangerous it is to let any one person have the unchecked power to destroy the entire world with the push of a button.” -UCS

Fight Back Bannon

“Right-wing puppet master, Steve Bannon, has gotten himself appointed to the inner circle of Trump’s National Security Council (NSC), an appointment generally reserved for senior military and intelligence officers.

We need a massive public outcry to make sure the members of Congress know that we expect them to act in the best interest of our nation. Sign the petition here, demanding that Congress stop Bannon’s national security takeover, and act immediately to remove him from the NSC.” – Credo Action
