France : le 7 mai, aucune voix supplémentaires pour le FN !

Le 7 Mai, aucune voix supplémentaire pour le FN ! Nous sommes nombreux·ses à ne pas nous reconnaître dans les deux finalistes à la présidentielle parce que nous n'adhérons pas à leur programme, voire nous nous y opposons fermement ! Pourtant, le dimanche 07 mai, votons massivement pour faire perdre le Front National. Depuis 5 ans, la communauté we sign it s'est mobilisée autour de luttes pour une démocratie plus transparente, pour une transition écologique, contre les discriminations et sur les questions sociales. Force est de constater que la politique menée par un gouvernement dont Macron faisait partie pendant 4 ans a été aux antipodes de ce pourquoi nous nous battons. Pourtant le choix est clair. Si Marine Le Pen est élue, la France risque de sombrer rapidement dans le fascisme. Les meilleures conditions de notre lutte seront donc sous Emmanuel Macron. Aucune voix supplémentaire pour le FN.​ Nous souhaitons que le 7 mai Marine Le Pen ne soit pas élue, et par la suite qu'Emmanuel Macron soit combattu sans relâche. Dès la 1ère minute de son élection, nous ne lui laisserons pas de répit car il nous trouvera face à lui et nous resterons vigilant.e.s et mobilisé.e.s. Le 7 mai, allons voter sans adhésion !  #Macronsansadhesion

Ferrovial doit arrêter de profiter des abus sur les réfugiés à Nauru

Bonjour, Aucune entreprise ne devrait se rendre complice d’actes de torture et de violences, et pourtant…. Sur l’île de Nauru, dans le Pacifique, plus d’un millier de réfugiés et de demandeurs d’asile sont déportés et pris au piège pour avoir cherché à se mettre en sécurité en Australie. Le système de centres de traitement pour les réfugiés et demandeurs d’asile, mis en place par l’Australie, s’apparente à de la torture. Il est délibérément cruel, y compris à l’égard des enfants. Humiliation, négligence, violence, … Nauru est pour eux une île de désespoir. Pourtant, pour l’entreprise multinationale espagnole Ferrovial, Nauru est une île au trésor qui lui permet de faire des milliards de bénéfices. Ferrovial est l’unique actionnaire de Broadspectrum, l’entreprise australienne qui gère ces centres de traitement et qui donc permet le fonctionnement de ce système abusif. Les entreprises ont le devoir de ne pas commettre ou contribuer à des violations des droits humains. Elles ne devraient a fortiori pas en tirer de profits. Interpellez Ferrovial en lui demandant de mettre fin à ses activités qui violent les droits humains.

U.S : Tell Congress : No Compromise for TRUMP's Hate. #BanTheBudget.

We're flooding Congress with calls demanding 

they don't compromise with Trump.

Call your member and demand they 

#BanTheBudget before it's too late ! 

    

 (618) 494-5809

CALL NOW!

Dear friend,

BREAKING : Trump just backed away from including funding for his hateful wall in the budget. Our pressure is working !

But tomorrow, Trump’s full budget will be released and in exchange for the wall, he's pushing for more border "security and technology" but not restoring any of the devastating cuts to crucial programs keeping people safe, healthy, and working. We're flooding Congress with calls demanding they don't compromise and continue to reject Trump's dreadful budget. Will you join us ?

Dear friend, your Congressperson needs hear from you. Dial (618-494-5809) to contact your Congressmen and demand they don't compromise. Say no to Trump's dangerous budget.

Programs like “Meals on Wheels”, after-school and summer activities, SNAP benefits, youth and senior job programs, and civil rights and environmental protections are all on the chopping block just to name a few.² These programs and more are being sacrificed for the sake of "public safety". But how will a multi-billion dollar wall do more for safety than clean air and water or police accountability ?

From small rural Appalachian towns to the southside of Chicago, and all the way to our nation's capitol people are immobilized with fear around the impacts of this budget. We need your help urging Republicans and Democrats to stop battling about who would be at fault for the government shutting down and realize their constituents, American voters, are the ones being punished. A few leading Democratic Senators have gone on record saying they would support more funding for border security, but we say NO COMPROMISE. This budget is still a dangerous document that would ultimately put all of our safety in jeopardy. 

Please call your representative today at (618-494-5809), and urge that they #BanTheBudget.

Trump's “top cop” Jeff Sessions is in a position to make Trump's threats real but supporting the dismantling of the DOJ, saying "blue lives matter", and perpetuating "war on drugs" and law and order rhetoric. The Civil Rights Division, which is the only federal institution that investigates and holds police accountable to the law and enforces anti-discrimination laws, is being cut severely. Over 40 attorneys were abruptly fired from the DOJ last month with no intentions on filling those positions because of these cuts.⁴ However, this administration thinks it's more important and of priority to invest over $600 billion into "rebuilding the military" and dump billions into flawed local police departments, rather than investing in the people of this country.

Stand with us and over 50,000 members and call (618-494-5809) to urge Congress to #BanTheBudget not people. Divesting billions from critical programs and services people actually need is not going to ensure more safety or economic opportunities. Any and every vote against passing the budget counts in this fight. 

Until Justice Is Real !

U.S : Tell Congress "No Money for TRUMP's Wall !"

Tell Members of Congress

 to Block "The Wall"

#BanTheBudget

ACT NOW!

Dear friend,

This week Trump’s budget proposal will be released and he wants us to pay for “The Wall” that was his grand scheme! Mexico said “No!” to Trump's bully tactics, and we need to follow suit.

An estimated $70 billion is the expected cost to build a wall along the U.S. Mexico border, one of Trump's great promises that now everyone is on the hook for but him.¹ Trump promised his supporters that this wall was being built for public safety and to protect jobs, as a ploy for his real racists agenda, but the budget he proposed puts all of those things into jeopardy and directly impacts the people who overwhelming voted for him. Democratic Members of Congress are starting to take a stand against Trump’s wall proposal and budget as a whole, and if we can peel away even a small amount of Republican support, we’ll be able to block the funding for this potential disaster just like we did with Trump Care a few weeks ago.

Patricia, this is an all hands on deck throw down. Sign this petition to stop the wall and #BanTheBudget.

Programs like “Meals on Wheels”, after-school and summer activities, SNAP benefits, youth and senior job programs, and civil rights and environmental protections are all on the chopping block just to name a few.² These are the real budget priorities that keep us safe but Trump wants to slash them to pay for his pet project.

Trump convinced vulnerable communities to bite the bait by believing that a smaller government meant more opportunity for them. But the reality is, he’s doing more than “cutting the fat” from the government, he’s ripping away programs that are life support for folks as if it’s just a simple cosmetic lift. Trump's first 100 days has been leading us on a road to nowhere that’s full of fear and empty promises. He is on track to spend just as much money on his personal travel and golf excursions as it would keep some of these programs intact.

In small rural towns like East Liverpool Ohio, Southwest Pennsylvania and other Appalachian towns, people are immobilized with fear around the impacts of this budget. Apparently, 7 out of the 12 federal programs intended to assist coal mining communities are being cut, including the Appalachian Regional Commission which will be cut completely.³ These are the very same communities that turned out in mass to vote for Trump, that are now saying “Not my president”, let's #BanTheBudget!

We need Members of Congress to step up and not allow funding for the wall. We need them to #BanTheBudget.

And now that Trump has his “top cop” Jeff Sessions in office as the Attorney General, the Department of Justice is taking major hits as well. The Civil Rights Division, which is the only federal institution that investigates and holds police accountable to the law and enforces anti-discrimination laws, is being cut severely. Over 40 attorneys were abruptly fired from the DOJ last month with no intentions on filling those positions because of these cuts.⁴ However, this administration thinks it's more important and of priority to invest over $600 billion into "rebuilding the military" and dump billions into flawed local police departments, rather than investing in the people of this country.

Stand with us and over 50,000 members and urge Congress to #BanTheBudget not people. Divesting over $70 billion to build a wall and putting even more into policing is not going to ensure more safety or economic opportunities.

Until Justice Is Real!
