Trump's funding freeze threatened school lunches. This Congressman suggested kids work to eat.

This is utterly shameful. This Republican Congressman Wants Hungry Kids of Struggling Families to Get a Job Instead of a Meal at School      Sign Now      Annisa,   Just a week into his second term as president, Donald Trump's administration tried to snatch away trillions of federal dollars from their rightful recipients. Money for healthcare, medical research, housing, child care, food for the hungry, and even disaster relief efforts — Trump's freeze on federal aid tried to stop it all. In an interview on CNN, Republican Congressman Rich McCormick of Georgia had the audacity to not only defend the dangerous move, but to also suggest the most morbid idea for the children who would go hungry without the school lunches provided by federal aid. "You're telling me that kids who stay at home instead of going to work at Burger King, McDonald's, during the summer, should stay at home and get their free lunch instead of going to work? I think we need to have a top-down review."   McCormick's idea to make hungry children work for food is neither backed by compassion nor science. We know from research that hungry kids do worse in school; they struggle to pay attention, retain information, and solve problems. Why, then, would we assume they would be happy and successful if, on top of all of that, they had to start working an adult job? Children should be able to focus on their childhood, not on working so that they don't go hungry. While the federal aid freeze has been blocked, we cannot let up the pressure even for a moment. Trump and his followers like McCormick will continue to try to test their limits of power and attack the most vulnerable of our society, but this block proves that when we fight back, we win.   Sign the petition for all of the hungry children who need our support under this administration, and tell Trump and his supporters to stay away from their funding!

Trump's son killed a rare, protected bird - which is illegal

EU and Italian law protect this rare bird that Donald Trump Jr. apparently killed. Donald Trump Jr. Illegally Killed a Protected Bird in Italy. Demand Justice! Sign Now    Annisa, Donald Trump Jr. has once again shown his reckless disregard for wildlife. This time, he has allegedly killed a protected bird in Italy's Venice lagoon. A video from his own hunting trip reportedly shows him posing with the lifeless body of the rare ruddy shelduck bird, in violation of Italian and EU laws that criminally prohibit its killing. Yet Trump Jr., an avid trophy hunter, treated its death as nothing more than a spectacle. The ruddy shelduck is safeguarded under the EU Birds Directive and Italian law. That's precisely because its population is at risk due to habitat destruction and climate change. This was not a mistake — this was a crime. Hunting in Italy is strictly regulated, and if Trump Jr. illegally killed this protected species, he must face legal consequences just like anyone else. No one is above the law — not even the son of a U.S. president. If Italy fails to act, it sends a dangerous message that wealthy foreigners can flout conservation laws with impunity. We call on the Italian government to hold Donald Trump Jr. fully accountable under Italian law! Help us by signing the petition now!   Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. We must not allow this flagrant act of wildlife destruction to go unanswered. Demand justice for Italy's protected wildlife! Sign the petition.      Sign Now

Urgent action needed for the Black Sea oil spill

Help protect the Black Sea from further devastation. Demand Action to Clean Up Black Sea Oil Spill Disaster!      Sign Now      Annisa,   In December, an environmental catastrophe unfolded in the Kerch Strait as two outdated oil tankers broke apart while caught in a storm, spilling thousands of tons of fuel oil into the Black Sea.

Even with the government taking action, not enough is being done to mitigate the disaster.   Sign the petition to urge the Russian government to launch a full-scale cleanup operation! The shores of the Black Sea are now a toxic wasteland, with dead wildlife washing ashore and continuous waves of oil polluting our beaches.

She let 53 horses, a dog, and a cow die of neglect

They rescued 98 animals. Another 55 were already dead. She Had 50 Dead, Neglected Horses on Her Property. Sign to Demand Justice. Sign Now    Annisa,   At a woman's home in Joaquin county, California, more than one-third of the 153 animals she had accumulated were dead.   When authorities made contact with the woman, documents allege that she actively threatened them. Meanwhile, reports suggest she was severely neglecting and malnourishing her animals.   By the time authorities finally received permission to search the property's premise, they discovered 90 horses five donkeys and three alpacas still alive. But there one dog, one cow, and 53 horses had already died.   Even worse — rescuers had to euthanize 15 of the surviving animals because she had neglected them so badly. The rest of the animals are undergoing intensive treatments to nurse them back to health. It's unclear how this woman accumulated so many animals to begin with, but from now on, we have to protect other animals by preventing her from accumulating any more.   Sign the petition to demand that officials ban her from owning, working with, or living with animals again in the future!   Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Authorities were able to rescue 98 animals. But another 55 were already dead. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
