hearings. She has now come out publicly in a Washington Post article earlier this week. Though some Republican’s have asked for a delay already, many others are trying to fast track the nomination before elections in November. Check out the article from the Washington Post, explaining the situation. What we as citizens need to do now is make our voices heard, so that the nomination is delayed and there is time to investigate these allegations. It is important to remember that Supreme Court Justice’s are appointed for life. Do you want someone like Brett Kavanaugh making decisions for the rest of his life on important laws that affect our entire country?

Tell the National School Board Association to Ban Roundup from Schools!

Monsanto’s Roundup is a common herbicide that is used on many school lawns, fields and properties throughout the country. After the monumental ruling in favor of a California school groundskeeper, Dewayne Johnson, (who developed cancer from being exposed to Roundup), it cannot be denied that Monsanto’s top herbicide has carcinogenic properties!  We need to take action to protect our children, teachers and school workers from this dangerous substance. The run-off from school grounds that have been sprayed with this herbicide are also getting into our water supplies as well. According to the Move On Civic Action Organization, in our country alone, more than 26 million pounds of Roundup are sprayed every year on school grounds, public playgrounds and gardens. This toxic product has no place in our schools, playgrounds, water, or public spaces. We need to take a stand to demand their removal, to ensure a safer environment for all.

Sign the Petition calling for the National School Board Association to Ban Roundup from All U.S. Schools!

Support the Senate Farm Bill to Save SNAP Benefits!

The Farm Bill Conference Committee has started meeting this month to come to a joint decision on a Farm Bill that both the House and the Senate agree on. In June, both the House and Senate voted on their versions of the Farm Bill, (if you missed it you can read about it here). The House Farm Bill called for cutting the SNAP Benefits (formally known as food stamps,) plan immensely, which would take away food choices for many low income American’s. The Senate Farm Bill, while still far from perfect, at least keeps the SNAP Benefits intact for many American’s. There is still time to make your voice heard and to tell your senators and representatives to support the Senate’s version of the Farm Bill during the Farm Bill Conference Committee meetings.

Here is a list of the Senate & House Farm Bill Conferees
