Help Save Oregon's Forests!

Not only would this draft plan harm big trees as well as wild rivers that run through these forests, it would also allow for unnecessary road construction through precious habitat and valuable public land.

The future of Oregon’s healthy forests and streams, abundant wildlife and big trees depends on people like you standing up for it.

Tell the BLM not to destroy Oregon's forests – the deadline is this Friday, August 21st, so please take action today!

MoveOn Petitions - Save the Proposed Crater Lake Wilderness from Logging

Save the Proposed Crater Lake Wilderness from Logging

To be delivered to Alice Carlton, Forest Supervisor for the Umpqua National Forest and James Peña, Regional Forester for Region 6 of the U.S. Forest Service

The U.S. Forest Service wants to log on 1,400 acres in Oregon’s Umpqua National Forest. This includes critical habitat for Northern Spotted Owls to nest, roost, and forage, and 500 acres of old-growth forest eligible for wilderness designation that is part of the proposed Crater Lake Wilderness. Today, less than 10 percent of the West’s forests remain unaffected by logging, roads, livestock grazing, or other disruptive activities. Yet forests serve an irreplaceable role as sources of clean drinking water, habitat for wildlife, and places for recreational and spiritual renewal. Send the U.S. Forest Service a message that we need to protect our wild forests and the native species they shelter.

Tell Congress it’s time to end the Social Security tax break for millionaires!

TAKE ACTION: SIGN THE PETITION TODAY!

On February 12th, those making a million dollars a year reached the annual tax cap. After that day, none of their income will be taxed to pay for Social Security. Meanwhile, 94% of Americans -- those who make less than $118,500 a year -- will chip in a portion of every single paycheck, all year long. That’s right. A single mother working as an ER nurse pays 6.2% of every paycheck toward Social Security, 12 months out of the year. Meanwhile, a wealthy investment banker on Wall Street isn’t paying a dime into the system for the rest of 2015. They say we can’t afford Social Security. No. We can’t afford to keep giving unfair tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires! Add your name. Sign the petition and tell Congress it’s time to end the Social Security tax break for millionaires!

Tell the Airline Industry: Don't Fly Wild

With the death of Cecil the lion, a much-needed light has been shone on the devastation caused by international trophy hunting. Not only is the practice deadly for some of the world’s most majestic and endangered species, but it is also a drain on the natural and economic resources of the countries where it transpires.
