A law passed in Pakistan this March that will make it easier for victims of domestic violence to come forward. But not everyone is happy about it. The Council of Islamic Ideology, an extreme group that consults for the government has introduced a bill that would allow men to “lightly beat” their wives. In the past, the Pakistani government has listened to this group on family matters. Add your name here to urge the Punjab government to ignore their bill before any more women are abused with no route to recourse.
The CII’s bill states that men should be allowed to beat their wives if they “act out.” If for example, a wife shows too much skin, she can be beaten. Or, if she refuses sex, she can be beaten. This horrifying bill that advocates for the allowance of physical abuse is clearly in reaction to heightened women’s rights in the country.
The CII has tried to gain control over financial and political decisions, with little success. They have, however, had more success in the family sphere. For example, the legal marriage age in Pakistan is 16. Some groups wanted to increase it to 18, until the CII weighed in and the age stayed at 16. They have been lobbying for the legal marriage age to move to 12 for boys and 9 for girls for years.
It’s not altogether unsurprising that a group of religious zealots who wants to sanction child marriage also believes it is in their purview to control whether or not domestic violence is acceptable. The scary part of all of this is that t...more

you have the power to create change.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL CONTINUES TO FIGHT INJUSTICE!

THANK YOU FOR TAKING ACTION TO FREE HOMA HOODFAR!

Amnesty International Canada also needs your help to urge authorities in Iran to free prisoner of conscience, Bahareh Hedayat.
Iran has tried to silence activist Bahareh Hedayat by sentencing her to 10 years in Iran's notorious Evin Prison. Her crime? Bahareh was arrested for encouraging the participation of women in student groups, promoting gender equality in the law, supporting political reform and opposing human rights violations. She is a prisoner of conscience, detained solely for the peaceful expression of her political beliefs.

One of the most disgusting things I have ever seen!

Simon says to fight cruelty at Yulin.

The horror has already begun for dogs at Yulin.
Please join Simon Cowell to help us fight this terrible trade with an urgent donation »

Help end the dog meat trade.  
Dear Friend,

Right now, thousands of dogs and cats in China need our help. Over the past few days these poor animals—many of them stolen pets—have been crammed onto trucks in wire cages without food or water, and driven for hours under miserable conditions. Their appalling fate? To be cruelly beaten, then slaughtered and eaten as part of an annual 'festival' held in Yulin.

It's so brutal, it makes me sick thinking about it. The cruelty, pain and terror these animals experience is disgusting and there are no words to describe how upset this makes me feel.

But we are the only hope for these poor animals. Together we must stand strong with the millions of people across China who, just like us, love animals and passionately oppose this cruelty.

Please join my friends at Humane Society International and their wonderful Chinese partner groups in the fight against this cruelty with an urgent donation today » They can't do it without our support. 

As I write to you, HSI operatives are on the ground in Yulin and they have already rescued 54 dogs and cats from certain death at slaughterhouses, in addition to the hundreds of dogs they've helped rescue from slaughter trucks prior to the festival. These lucky animals are being given emergency veterinary care and driven to safety, but many more need our help.

The images and footage of the gruesome reality for these helpless animals—many of them still wearing their pet collars—are outrageous and inexcusable. We have to do something. Please donate to help HSI fight the dog meat trade and care for these rescued animals »

$45 - pays for food and bedding for rescued dogs and cats 

$65 - buys crates and fuel to get animals out of Yulin and on the road to a safe sanctuary 

$130 - covers life-saving veterinary treatment for sick and injured animals

You may have read recent news reports of Yulin dog meat traders trying to claim that business is still good—but HSI’s Peter Li is on the ground there now reporting that a number of the dog slaughterhouses are closed, and that live animal markets and dog meat restaurants are much reduced compared to last year. This is encouraging news.

Achieving lasting change takes time, but I am hopeful that together we can see an end to this horrific trade. And I am heartened by a Chinese opinion poll just released that shows the majority of Chinese people want the Yulin festival shut down, and in fact most people in China have never eaten dog in their lives.

The HSI team and their brave Chinese partners are making real progress—but they can't continue to fight without your help. Please help stop this cruelty with an urgent gift »

These animals can't help themselves—it's up to us to do something, now.


Sincerely,

Simon Cowell
Friend of Humane Society International

The Sum of Us Movement needs funds to fight Monsanto, Bayer and BASF.

Emma Pullman, SumOfUs.org us@sumofus.org

May 16
to Joseph
Monsanto may be on the verge of merging with two of the world's largest producers of bee-killing pesticides, Bayer and BASF -- creating a massive and devastating corporate bee-killer.
Will you chip in to help stop it?
Joseph,
Monsanto is working on a merger with the world's largest manufacturer of bee-killing pesticides, Bayer. It wants to take over Bayer and BASF, massively increasing the danger to already-threatened bees.
This mega-merger would make Monsanto the biggest seed company AND the biggest pesticide company in the world -- giving it a near-monopoly over worldwide agricultural production from beginning to end.
Each time we’ve fought back against these dangerous mergers. and successfully stopped its merger with Syngenta. Monsanto is desperate to expand its business -- so we need to launch an all-out fight now to stop this merger before it's too late.
Will you chip in CA$1 to stop the Monsanto mega-merger?
Monsanto is desperate to expand after its merger with Syngenta fell through.
The merger Monsanto is discussing would create by far the biggest pesticide company the world has ever seen. And at the centre of their corporate agribusiness model is the indiscriminate, widespread use of pesticides linked to the massive global bee die-off.
Together, we were able to help stop the Syngenta-Monsanto merger because we showed that a corporation that big would have monopolistic power over farmers and the entire agriculture industry.
This new merger being discussed with Monsanto, Bayer and BASF would be just as bad, if not worse.
With your help, we'll continue our efforts to block any merger that would allow Monsanto to become part of a bee-killing monopoly -- including our vital shareholder work to hold agrichemical giants to account, our work supporting legal suits to save the bees, and much more.
Once a merger like this goes through, it's often impossible to undo the damage -- we need to act now to nip this merger talk in the bud.
Will you chip in CA$1 to to block the creation of this massive corporate bee-killer?
Yes, I'll chip in CA$1 to stop the Monsanto, Bayer, BASF mega-merger.
Thanks for all you do,
Emma, Jon and the team at SumOfUs

T.V. car commercials accelerate global warming!
---------------------------------------------------------------

 With every combustion engine vehicle sold through a television add, more CO2 is produced and pumped into the atmosphere! Car companies do not give a Rat's Ass about creating global warming and climate change! The stomach turning fact is that with giant screen televisions and clever computer animation the product commercials are now bigger and better and rapid fire. They never stop! The selfish ignorance behind this brain washing is incredible! Even the mute button does not slow down the dangerous advertising as words immediately pop up on the screen to replace the loud obnoxious sounds! Sellers and consumers of gas burning cars are playing Russian Roulette with our Planet and the following is a reminder of what is at stake...>

Global Warming

By Holli RiebeekDesign by Robert SimmonJune 3, 2010
Throughout its long history, Earth has warmed and cooled time and again. Climate has changed when the planet received more or less sunlight due to subtle shifts in its orbit, as the atmosphere or surface changed, or when the Sun’s energy varied. But in the past century, another force has started to influence Earth’s climate: humanity.

(NASA astronaut photographISS022-E-6674.)

What is Global Warming?

Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature over the past century primarily due to the greenhouse gases released by people burning fossil fuels.

How Does Today’s Warming Compare to Past Climate Change?

Earth has experienced climate change in the past without help from humanity. But the current climatic warming is occurring much more rapidly than past warming events.

Why Do Scientists Think Current Warming Isn’t Natural?

In Earth’s history before the Industrial Revolution, Earth’s climate changed due to natural causes unrelated to human activity. These natural causes are still in play today, but their influence is too small or they occur too slowly to explain the rapid warming seen in recent decades.

How Much More Will Earth Warm?

Models predict that as the world consumes ever more fossil fuel, greenhouse gas concentrations will continue to rise, and Earth’s average surface temperature will rise with them. Based on plausible emission scenarios, average surface temperatures could rise between 2°C and 6°C by the end of the 21st century. Some of this warming will occur even if future greenhouse gas emissions are reduced, because the Earth system has not yet fully adjusted to environmental changes we have already made.

How Will Earth Respond to Warming Temperatures?

The impact of global warming is far greater than just increasing temperatures. Warming modifies rainfall patterns, amplifies coastal erosion, lengthens the growing season in some regions, melts ice caps and glaciers, and alters the ranges of some infectious diseases. Some of these changes are already occurring.

President Obama believes in protecting the environment.

The White House info@mail.whitehouse.gov

Jun 18 (2 days ago)
to human4us

 THE WHITE HOUSE 

Why the President travelled to Yosemite this past weekend:
National parks are an American invention. They are treasures in our national inheritance -- millions of acres of public lands and waterways -- that one generation passes on to the next. These beautiful spaces offer adventures for our children, essential protection for our wildlife, and support for local economies.
Yet, we aren't entitled to them. Our public lands need our protection -- they need our dedication to their upkeep and our commitment to their expansion.
And it falls on the shoulders of each new generation to carry on this stunning inheritance, because even though our national parks are vital to our future, the consequences of climate change are becoming more evident every day.
Not only did they celebrate the National Parks' 100th anniversary, they highlighted the critical role our parks will play in America's next century.
That's also why President Obama has taken unprecedented action to invest in America's natural resources, setting aside more public lands and water in his two terms than any president in American history. He is America's most prolific conservationist -- and he's not done yet.
Here's what you need to know about President Obama's historic conservation record:
  • Protected more than 265 million acres of America's public lands and waters -- more than any other president in history.
  • Dedicated unprecedented attention and resources to restoring iconic places like the Chesapeake Bay, California Bay-Delta, Great Lakes, and Everglades.
  • Designated more than 2 million acres of federal wilderness and protected thousands of miles of trails and more than one thousand miles of rivers.
  • Oversaw more wildlife recoveries under the Endangered Species Act than under any previous administration.
  • Launched Every Kid in a Park, which gives fourth graders and their families free access to parks.
You can also help celebrate and support our national park system by sharing photos of your favorite park with the hashtag #FindYourPark.

And now a message from your favourite political activist.

                                   ALL THE ENERGY THAT EVER WAS STILL IS.

All the energy that ever was still is constantly changing within the eternal energy of the Universe. This magnificent concept of eternity has intrigued human imagination for centuries and because the human brain has trouble understanding an eternity of changing energy, we humans have created imaginary Gods to give us a sense of tranquillity. All religious beliefs have evolved from a fear of change and are based on the hope for eternal life after death. Religious beliefs, unfortunately, have created more death than peace on Earth during our human history and thankfully today millions are  abandoning the indoctrination and fear based imaginary concepts imposed upon them as children.

        Unfortunately, many are also abandoning the strict rules and guidelines and basic Ethics that religious authorities imposed over centuries to create civilized behaviour. Those moral guidelines and Ethics are now often badly enforced by civil authorities around the world who continue to punish unlawful behaviour using the same dangerous and antiquated penal systems created by the ancient religious authorities. That needs to be updated with better education and better humanitarian correctional methods.

       Today, parents and educators are looking up at the galaxies and pondering new and marvellous questions. What are light years? What are: Nebulas and Star formations and Gas giants and Black Holes? With modern technology and magnificent telescopes we can now give to our children science based facts and a new sense of wonderment. Science is replacing fear based religious fantasies with a magnificent new understanding of the universe. With provable facts we can now see what was once hidden to our parents and space has become a new play ground for those who possess high intelligence and the courage to explore where no human has gone before. 

           For the rest of us who need some form of comfort zone to find inner peace, I suggest we all do  as our ancestors did and worship Nature. I specifically recommend protecting and growing trees and flowers and pesticide free vegetable gardens. For our young and young at hearts who enjoy love and sex, be careful because sex has been usurped by unscrupulous people and commercially exploited to the point where it is threatening our existence! Marketing today is a form of religious indoctrination utilizing both repetitive advertising (some call it Hypnosis) and sex as a selling tool to sell consumer products. It is not, I repeat, a good thing! I repeat again! Many companies want to win and maintain economic power even while they pollute us off the Earth. They are marketing and selling products dangerous to the environment and most often use sex as a selling tool.  

         I honestly believe our human economic and political power should be invested on and for the protection of all life on this our small planet earth! Invested that is if we wish to continue enjoying our own conscious human energy forms. If not, we can imagine how energy will continue to change with or without us!

  Thanks for reading and have a great life!.
