AIG’s new climate policy fails to address threats to sacred lands and waterways, and our planet, by allowing them to insure new tar sands pipelines in Canada and oil drilling operations in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Neonicotinoid insecticides — often called neonics — are widely used in agriculture and residential yards. But these toxic chemicals are clearly playing a role in the dramatic declines of birds, bees, butterflies and other insects across the globe. New scientific research is revealing troubling links between neonics and a wide range of human health problems, including cognitive reproductive harms that start in the womb.
The growing evidence of the dangers of neonics is especially concerning because they’re so widespread. Neonic pesticides have been detected in 92% of urban water samples in Southern California, 58% in urban areas of Northern California, and 94% in agricultural areas.

The Biden administration will be drafting a plan that will determine the fate of leasing in our oceans for the next five years. We need them to create a plan that will herald the beginning of the end of offshore drilling by planning no new lease sales in our oceans. Will you join us in calling on the Biden administration to protect our oceans from offshore drilling?

From Activate America (Formerly Flip the West): California Campaign
Sign up to postcard in CA-40. We’re postcarding Democratic voters in three districts who have missed elections before to make sure that they don’t sit this one out. You will be writing to support specific progressive candidates.
Third Act – Bill McKibben’s new group is postcarding
Let’s join together as Third Act’s Democracy Force to write postcards and mobilize voters in Arizona and Pennsylvania to request their vote-by-mail ballot in time for Midterm Primary Elections. Learn more below about why postcards and mail voting are vital and effective at increasing turnout.

Postcards for swing states
We need your help to write 550,000 postcards to rally Democrats to vote in the Pennsylvania primary on May 17. Encouraging Democrats to make voting a habit now will ensure more of them will also vote in November.
Sign up now and we’ll mail you free postcards with the design below, along with instructions and voter lists. Volunteers need to provide the postcard stamps. You’ll pick from three messages that we’re testing as the first step of signing up. You’ll have until May 6 to finish writing the postcards.
Environmental Voter Project
Our next postcarding campaign will be to Colorado voters ahead of their June 28th state primary!
We’ll be sending postcards to environmental voters who voted in the 2020 General Election, but are unlikely to vote in midterm elections based on their previous voting history. We expect to begin mailing out packages of postcards to signed-up volunteers beginning in late March, and the required “mail-to-voters” date for this round of postcards is on Monday, June 6th.
This sign up form is only for trained EVP postcarding volunteers. New postcarding volunteers should sign up for an orientation below.
If you have not already attended an EVP postcard training, please sign up for one of the 45 minute trainings below. We use very specific designs and messaging that are optimized to increase turnout, so we require all our postcarding volunteers to receive an EVP training before sending postcards.
POSTCARD WRITING TO VOTERS ORGANIZED BY HUMBOLDT ACTIVIST FREDERICA AALTO
Here is Frederica describes what they are doing:
I am administering a postcarding network in Humboldt County (presently over 300 writers) and we supply postcards and stamps to writers, which are available for cost at several convenient pickup locations. Have anyone interested in joining us contact me. We mostly postcard for ROV (Reclaim Our Vote), which is non-partisan, but have also postcarded for Activate America (which used to be called Flip the West), which is partisan.
