action alert! Japan can't get away with legally storing nuclear waste in schools, parks and residential areas where kids play. Japan: Get Nuclear Waste Out of Communities please share it helps!     Dear Arfin, We all deeply understand the catastrophic consequences of nuclear waste contaminating our communities. But residents of Koriyama, Japan face the real possibility of nuclear pollution of their parks, schools and neighborhoods -- but they don't know exactly where. Tell Japanese Nuclear officials to stop secret storage plans of nuclear waste. Japanese law does not require nuclear storage sites to be labeled or groundwater to be tested for contamination. In Koriyama, more than 1,000 schools and hundreds of parks and residential areas where kids play are nuclear storage sites. The affects of radiation pollution is far too serious to tolerate such laissez-faire regulation of waste storage. It's time for Japanese officials to come up with a new, transparent way to store nuclear waste. Tell Japan to stop its under-the-radar and dangerous nuclear storage near schools, parks and homes.

DID YOU KNOW?   Christmas has been celebrated on December 25 since 336 A.D. The tradition started as a Christian holiday honoring the birth of Jesus and has evolved into an international holiday that embodies family togetherness and good cheer. Christmas gets it name from "Christ," meaning "Messiah" or "Anointed One," and "Mass," meaning "religious festival." Jesus, born in Bethlehem to the Virgin Mary, was given the title of "Christ" because he was regarded as a great king who would protect people from all wrong and evil.

Uganda, Don't Pass the "Kill the Gays" Bill

action alert! The Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of the Ugandan Parliament just passed the "Kill the Gays" bill, which would allow extreme punishment for homosexuality. Now, it is up to the general Parliament to stop it. Uganda, Don't Pass the "Kill the Gays" Bill! please share it helps!     Dear Arfin, Today, Uganda passed the "Kill the Gays" bill through the Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of Parliament. The bill, which would allow extreme punishment of "aggravated homosexuality," will now be put up to vote in Ugandan Parliament as early as next week. This bill's original version calls for the death penalty for being gay or committing an "illegal sex act". "Aggravated homosexuality" can also lead to the death penalty. People are charged with "aggravated homosexuality" when they're punished for multiple "violations," which can include actions such as renting a room to a gay person, donating to a gay cause, fighting for gay rights, or not reporting a gay person to law enforcement. Straight individuals can be charged with these offenses as well.  Though Uganda is claiming that the death penalty is now no longer included in the legislation, many human rights activists feel that Parliament can easily add that provision back in once the bill's passed. People should not have to fear for their freedom, safety, and their very lives because of their sexual orientations. Will you sign the petition to stand with LGBT people and their straight allies in Uganda? Thank you for taking action, Kathleen J. Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team

action alert! People and wildlife need the wetlands of Bengal to survive. Tell the state government to enforce protection of wetlands before they're gone. Prevent Disaster: Save Bengal's Wetlands please share it helps!     Dear Arfin, Leopards, tigers, elephants, river terrapins and more all have one thing on common: they depend on the wetlands of Bengal to keep their habitat healthy. But these wetlands have been rapidly disappearing for years to make way for people and development. Tell the state government to protect the wetlands. Wetlands are crucial for wildlife, but they do so much more to help people too. They lessen the destructive power of floods, absorb carbon emissions and filter pollutants out of the water. Laws exist to protect wetlands, but they're rarely enforced. If we don't act now, scientists think they'll be gone by 2030. Tell the state government to protect the remaining wetlands for wildlife and humans to prevent ecological disaster. Thank you for taking action, Emily V. Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team
