(この署名のURL:https://chng.it/ZrHvPh8x

 私たちは日本に生きる平和を望む市民です。
 ウクライナ戦争はすでに一年つづいています。この戦争はロシアのウクライナへの侵攻によってはじまりました。ウクライナは国民をあげて抵抗戦を戦ってきましたが、いまやNATO諸国が供与した兵器が戦場の趨勢を左右するにいたり、戦争は代理戦争の様相を呈しています。数知れぬウクライナの町や村は破壊され、おびただしい数のウクライナ人が死んでいます。同時にロシア軍の兵士もますます多く死んでいるのです。これ以上戦争がつづけばその影響は地球の別の地域にも広がります。ロシアを排除することによって、北極圏の国際権益を調整する機関は機能を停止し、北極の氷は解け、全世界の気候変動の引き金となる可能性がうまれています。世界の人々の生活と運命はますますあやうくなるのです。核兵器使用の恐れも原子力発電所を巡る戦闘の恐れもなお現実です。戦争はただちにやめなければなりません。

 朝鮮戦争は、参戦国米国が提案し、交戦支援国ソ連が同意したため、開戦一年と15日後に、正式な停戦会談がはじめられました。ウクライナ戦争では開戦5日目にウクライナ、ロシア二国間の協議がはじめられ、ほぼ一カ月後にウクライナから停戦の条件が提案されると、ロシア軍はキーウ方面から撤退しました。しかし、現実的な解決案を含むこの停戦協議は4月はじめに吹き飛ばされてしまい、戦争は本格化しました。以来残酷な戦争がつづいてきたのです。開戦一年が経過した今こそ、ロシアとウクライナは、朝鮮戦争の前例にしたがって、即時停戦のために協議を再開すべきです。Ceasefire Now!の声はいまや全世界にあふれています。

 幸いなことに、この戦争において、穀物輸出と原発については、国連やトルコなどが仲介した一部停戦がすでに実施されています。人道回廊も機能しています。こうした措置は、全面停戦の道筋となりうるのです。中国が停戦を提案したこともよい兆候です。ヨーロッパ諸国でも停戦を願う市民の運動が活発化しています。G7支援国はこれ以上武器を援助するのではなく、「交渉のテーブル」をつくるべきなのです。グローバル・サウスの中立国は中国、インドを中心に交渉仲裁国の役割を演じなければなりません。

 ウクライナ戦争をヨーロッパの外に拡大することは断固として防がなければなりません。私たちは東北アジア、東アジアの平和をあくまでも維持することを願います。この地域では、まず日本海(東海)を戦争の海にはしない、米朝戦争をおこさせない、さらに台湾をめぐり米中戦争をおこさせない、そう強く決意しています。No War in Our Region!―-私たちはこのことを強く願います。

 日本は1945年8月に連合国(米英、中ソ)に降伏し、50年間つづけてきた戦争国家の歴史をすて、平和国家に生まれ変わりました。1946年に制定した新憲法には、国際紛争の解決に武力による威嚇、武力の行使をもちいることを永久に放棄するとの第9条が含まれました。日本は朝鮮の独立をみとめ、中国から奪った台湾、満州を返したのです。だから、日本は北朝鮮、韓国、中国、台湾と二度と戦わないと誓っています。日本に生きる市民は日本海(東海)における戦争に参加せず、台湾をめぐる戦争にも参加することはなく、戦わないのです。

 私たちは、日本政府がG7の意をうけて、ウクライナ戦争の停戦交渉をよびかけ、中国、インドとともに停戦交渉の仲裁国となることを願っています。

  • कोरोना वायरस : स्क्रीनिंग के दायरे को बढ़ाएं ताकि इसे महामारी बनने से रोका जा सके
    बहुत साल पहले परिवार में एक बड़े हादसे के बाद मैंने सेव लाइफ फाउंडेशन की स्थापना की ताकि सड़कों पर लोगों की जान बचाई जा सके। मैं जानता हूँ किसी अपने को खोने का दुख क्या होता है। मैं नहीं चाहता कि कोई भी उस दर्द से गुज़रे, जिससे मुझे और मेरे परिवार को गुज़रना पड़ा। अब जबकि कोरोना वायरस जैसी बड़ी आपदा का खतरा हमारे सिर पर मंडरा रहा है तो हमें मिलकर काम करना होगा, जल्दी काम करना होगा। इसीलिए जल्दी से मेरी पेटीशन साइन कर स्वास्थ्य मंत्री से मांग करें कि कोरोना वायरस की स्क्रीनिंग और टेस्टिंग को कुछ सरकारी अस्पतालों तक सीमित ना रखा जाए और इस बीमारी को महामारी बनने से रोका जाए। ऐसा इसलिए क्योंकि “भारत के पास कोविड-13 के स्टेज-3 तक पहुँचने में 30 दिन से कम का समय है।” (14 मार्च के इकॉनोमिक टाइम्स में ICMR (इंडियन काउंसिल ऑफ मेडिकल रिसर्च) के डायरेक्टर जनरल का बयान) कुछ लोग कहेंगे कि भारत में वायरस से संक्रमित लोगों की संख्या कम है इसलिए हम स्टेज-3 में नहीं पहुँचेंगे। पर विशेषज्ञ जैसे कि नेशनल हेल्थ सिस्टम्स रिसोर्स सेंटर के पूर्व प्रमुख का कहना है कि “ये संख्या कम है क्योंकि टेस्टिंग कम है”। अगर संक्रमित लोगों की सही संख्या नहीं पता चल पाई तो क्या होगा? अभी केवल 52 सरकारी परीक्षण केंद्रों और कुछ प्राइवेट लैबों पर ही कोरोना वायरस के टेस्ट हो रहे हैं। ये 130 करोड़ से ज्यादा आबादी वाले हमारे देश के लिए बहुत ही कम है गुजरात सरकार ने एक सराहनीय पहल शुरू कर के हर सरकारी और प्राइवेट अस्पताल में “फ्लू कॉर्नर” बनाने के निर्देश जारी किए हैं ताकि कोविड-19 के संभावित मरीज़ों की स्क्रीनिंग की जा सके। समय आ गया है कि इस पहल को पूरे देश में, खासकर उन राज्यों में जो कोरोना वायरस से सबसे ज्यादा प्रभावित हैं लागू किया जाए। मेरी पेटीशन साइन करें ताकि कोरोना वायरस की स्क्रीनिंग और टेस्टिंग का दायरा बढ़ाया जाए ताकि ये बीमारी एक महामारी ना बनने पाए। मेरे साथ सरकार से मांग करें कि: 1. देश के सभी 700 ज़िला अस्पतालों, मेडिकल कॉलेजों और प्राइवेट अस्पतालों में टेस्टिंग किट और तैयारी के दिशा-निर्देश मुहैया कराए जाएं। दक्षिण कोरिया ने पार्किंग लॉटों में ड्राइव-थ्रू टेस्टिंग सेंटर बनाए थे, जिससे आसानी से लोगों को टेस्ट कर लिया जाता था। बड़े पैमाने पर उनकी स्क्रीनिंग और जाँच का नतीजा रहा है कि वहाँ नए केस में काफी गिरावट देखने को मिली। 2. पूरे देश के प्राइवेट तथा सरकारी अस्पतालों में उपलब्ध ICU बेडों की सार्वजनिक सूचि जारी की जाए ताकि पता चल सके कि गंभीर रूप से बीमार कितने लोगों का इलाज संभव है। WHO और ICMR के अनुमानों के आधार पर अतिरिक्त बेडों की व्यवस्था की जाए। 3. कोरोना वायरस को महामारी के स्तर पर पहुँचने से पहले स्वास्थ्य कर्मचारियों की युद्ध स्तर पर ट्रेनिंग हो ताकि यदि ऐसा होता है तो वो इससे लड़ने में सक्षम हों। 4. कोरोना वायरस से जुड़ें केसों की रिपोर्टिंग को बेहतर किया जाए। 5. उपरोक्त कामों के लिए सरकार से तुरंत बजट का आवंटन किया जाए। कोरोना वायरस से लड़ने में हमारी सरकार कोई कसर नहीं छोड़ रही है। देश ही नहीं, हमने विदेशों में जाकर भारतीयों की रक्षा की है। मुझे पूरा विश्वास है कि सरकार अगर ये कदम भी उठा लेती है तो इससे पूरे देश में एक बड़ा संदेश जाएगा और बीमारी का भय भी कम होगा और हम हर भारतीय की रक्षा कर पाएंगे।もっと読む

  • Keep Lolita in Florida!
    At a press conference on Thursday, March 30th, the mayor of Miami, the owners of Miami Seaquarium, Friends of Lolita, and Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts, promised to set Lolita the killer whale free to her home in Puget Sound.  We are a group called Truth 4 Toki, composed of 35 marine mammal experts with a collective 350 years of experience. We are Toki’s current and former trainers, veterinarians and caretakers. If you genuinely care about Toki, please listen to us.  Lolita, or Tokitae (Toki), has lived at the Miami Seaquarium for more than 50 years. Over the decades, many have talked about improving Toki’s conditions, but nothing has happened, and the press conference laid out no executable plan of action but expect her to be moved to her home waters in 6-9 months.  We saw what happened with Keiko—the whale from the movie Free Willy when a billionaire philanthropist got involved in an activist led attempt to free him. It took over 6 years and millions of dollars to free Keiko. Keiko died alone, never successfully integrating with wild killer whales and constantly seeking out human interaction. If she can no longer remain at the Miami Seaquarium she should be transported to Shamu Stadium at SeaWorld Orlando where she can remain for the rest of her life, along with the two Pacific White-Sided dolphins she’s lived with for the last 30 years: Lii and Loke.  Let’s not make Lolita suffer the same fate as Keiko.  A move of any kind is likely to kill her. She is 58 years old and battles chronic illness and is not a candidate for release. She is not your symbol, your Cal Ripken Jr. or Pam Anderson.  Jim Irsay—if you are so moved by Lolita as you claim you are, listen to us. Pay the money to get her to SeaWorld Orlando where the experts can continue to provide the standard of care she deserves. You admitted Keiko’s release was a failure—don’t make the same mistake with Toki.  SeaWorld Orlando—let’s make this happen. As the industry leader in marine mammal care and the only facility capable of helping her, you have a duty to Toki to intervene. You rescue animals still? Rescue her. It will take years to build her new pool that’s close by—SeaWorld has an existing structure that she could integrate into with the least amount of stress to her. Come on SeaWorld! Lolita has survived this long because of us. So please listen to us. Her life depends on it. もっと読む

  • कोरोना वायरस से लड़ रहे सभी स्वास्थ्य कर्मचारियों को सारे सुरक्षा उपकरण दें
    कोरोना वायरस से लड़ने वाले असल सिपाहियों को हमारी बहुत ज़रुरत है। क्या आप उनको जानते हैं? कोरोना वायरस को फैलने से बचने के लिए हर रोज़ हमारे डॉक्टर, नर्सें और स्वास्थ्य कर्मचारी दिन रात एक कर रहे हैं। जब हम वायरस से छिप रहे हैं तो वो बहादुरी से सीना ताने उसका सामना कर रहे हैं। एयरपोर्ट और अस्पताल में लगातार मरीज़ों को देख रहे हैं और जांच कर रहे हैं। ये डॉक्टर और नर्सें बिना डरे, बिना अपनी जान की परवाह किए क्वरंटाइन सेंटरों में भी सेवा दे रहे हैं। पर हमारे और कोरोना वायरस के बीच ढाल बनकर खड़े इन स्वास्थ्य कर्मचारियों की किसी को चिंता नहीं है। हमें और हमारे देश को कोरोना वायरस से सुरक्षित रखने वाले क्या स्वयं सुरक्षित हैं। खबरों के अनुसार बहुत सारे स्वास्थ्य कर्मचारियों के पास पर्याप्त सुरक्षा उपकरण नहीं हैं। उनके मास्क भी हाई क्वालिटी के नहीं हैं। वो कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण के खतरे में सेवाए दे रहे हैं।दुनियाभर से ऐसी खबरे आ रही हैं कि स्वास्थ्य कर्मचारियों की जान सुरक्षा उपकरण की कमी से दाँव पर है। हमारे देश में कर्नाटक में कोरोना वायरस के मरीज का इलाज कर रहे एक 63 वर्षीय डॉक्टर खुद इसकी चपेट में आ गए। जब काफी संख्या में लोग अपने अपने घरों से काम कर रहे हैं और हर प्रकार की सामाजिक गतिविधियों से बच रहे हैं, ये डॉक्टर लोगों की जान बचने में लगे हैं। वो हमारे लिए इतना कुछ कर रहे हैं, कम से कम हम उतना कर सकते हैं कि सरकार उनकी सुरक्षा का पूरा इंतज़ाम करें।मेरी पेटीशन अभी साइन करें ताकि स्वास्थ्य मंत्रालय डॉक्टरों, नर्सों और हर सुरक्षा कर्मचारियों को निम्न साधन जल्द से जल्द उपलब्ध कराये:- कारगर मास्क जो उनको इन्फेक्शन से बचाए- फेस शील्ड या चश्मे- प्लास्टिक के साफ़ गाउन और कोट- दास्ताने मेरी पेटीशन पर ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा साइन करें ताकि हमें और देश को सुरक्षित रखने वाले भी सुरक्षित रहें।もっと読む

  • Tell the Indiana Assembly to pass bill 1483 to STOP BULLYING!
    Covington, Indiana is a small, close-knit, and wholesome family town, and all of us that live here are proud to call it home. But when Covington Middle School 7th grader Terry Badger III was bullied so severely that he took his own life, we were devastated. Terry was just 13 years old when excessive bullying at school left him feeling so incredibly hopeless that he committed suicide. He had his entire life left to live, but the torment he endured made him believe that there was no way out. One can only imagine the pain, agony, and hurt he felt every single day.  Our community rallied behind the Badger Family, and this petition stands to do the same. We have to demand that the Indiana State Senate pass HB 1483 immediately and protect our children from cruelty and bullying. Terry deserved better, and we cannot let this happen again. Sign and share the petition now.  HB 1483 will help stop bullying and protect victims in a variety of ways in Indiana schools: bullying victims safety will be prioritized, schools are required to report bullying to both families rapidly, the victim or perpetrator could be transferred to a different school for the victim’s safety, and parents could be given suicide and bullying prevention material to review.  This bill passed unanimously in the House over a month ago. It currently sits on lawmaker’s desks, awaiting a vote in the Senate. Too much time has passed and bullying victims remain at-risk. Let’s not put another one of our children to rest too soon. Tell the Indiana general assembly that the schools NEED stronger bullying prevention and interventions in place NOW. Pass HB 1483 and let’s turn this into law. Sign and share today!  もっと読む

  • Biden Administration and ConocoPhillips: SAY NO TO THE WILLOW PROJECT!
    The Willow Project is a proposed development project in Northern Alaska by ConocoPhillips, a company that has been surrounded by controversy for continued oil drilling, exploitation of nature, and posing risks to indigenous communities globally. This project was proposed during the Trump administration, but has yet to be approved by the Biden administration. Despite Biden promising to turn away from non-renewable energy sources such as oil, he is still defending this project.  If this project were to be approved, Willow would emit more climate pollution annually than more than 99.7% of all single point sources in the country. The first oil to be used from this project wouldn't be for years. We do not have much time, but it's still enough to defend the Arctic ecosystems that are already facing global warming.   ConocoPhillips, the company that has proposed this project, claims that Willow would help address inflation and energy costs. The United States is already the world’s largest producer of oil and gas, despite the oil and gas industry’s vigorous and incorrect public relations campaigns aimed at convincing people that their opportunism to drill more is a legitimate policy solution. Even if the Willow project was approved, it would do nothing to address inflation or high energy costs. It would take years before Willow produced a single drop of oil, and the project would lock us into decades of fossil fuel development at a time when we need to be rapidly transitioning to clean energy sources. This project would disproportionately affect the Native Village of Nuiqsut, a predominantly Iñupiat village of around 400 people already surrounded by oil development. Their population faces disproportionately high rates of chronic illnesses like cancer and respiratory ailments due to the high amounts of pollution they're exposed to. Willow would also negatively impact the migration routes of the Teshekpuk Lake caribou herd, one of the primary sources of subsistence foods for the village.  While the majority of Iñupiat are in support of this project, there are still many Iñupiat and Arctic Indigenous people that recognize this is the time for a Just Transition away from fossil fuels. It's time that we think for a safe and livable environment for future generations and lay the first steps to renewable energy.  We are at the brink of irreversible damage to the earth that will cause losses of jobs and homes, illnesses, and displacement of entire communities at rates we have never seen. Recent studies have shown that the Arctic is warming at four to five times faster than the rest of the world. As oil is exported and sent around the globe, Indigenous communities in the Arctic are left to contend with the health impacts of pollution as well as the devastation that comes from dramatic changes to the land like sea ice melt, permafrost thaw, and coastal erosion. There must come a point where human health, food security, environmental justice, and a functioning ecosystem come before corporate profit.  President Biden and the cooperating Biden Administration, STOP THE WILLOW MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN!  Cover image courtesy of Protect the Arctic. もっと読む

  • Save Fahimeh Karimi’s life
    Addressed to: Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, head of the Iranian judiciaryFahimeh Karimi, a volleyball coach and mother of three young children, was arrested in Pakdasht, Tehran province, over a month ago. The accusation would be that she kicked a paramilitary in one of the demonstrations that followed the death of Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old girl taken into custody by the Iranian morality police, last September 16th, due to a lock of hair that escaped her hijab.Karimi was first held in Evin Prison, then transferred to Khorin Prison.La Stampa and the subscribers to this appeal ask for the respect for the rights of all those who have been demonstrating peacefully for days and who, despite this, are being brutally repressed and unjustly arrested.In particular, the signatories of this appeal demand the immediate dismissal of the charges and the unconditional release of Fahimeh Karimi. The sentence that has been inflicted upon her is humanly, morally and juridically unacceptable. Furthermore, there is no evidence of any regular trial against her and therefore, pending her release, she must be ensured constant contact with her family and with a lawyer of her free choice.Respect for human rights now appears to be seriously violated by the Islamic Republic of Iran.The European Union cannot look the other way, but must exert continuous and growing pressure to guarantee the safety and security of the thousands arrested in street protests.                                          もっと読む

  • Help Save Starving Manatees
    Manatees in Florida are dying off at record rates. More than 20% of the manatees—close to 2,000—have perished in the past two years. More than 740 manatees died just last year, following a catastrophic 2021 for these gentle giants, when more than 1,100 perished.  These animals are starving to death due to loss of seagrass, and swimming through some of the worst pollution they've ever known.  Manatees are currently listed as "threatened," but it's clear they urgently need the full power of the Endangered Species Act.   Tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to uplist Florida’s manatees to “endangered” to guarantee their survival.  The manatee die-off has already taken more than 12% of their total population — and it isn't stopping. We must act now to protect them.  Manatees are a keystone species. When they thrive, other plants and animals benefit, too. When they're in trouble, it's a powerful warning about the fate of Florida's aquatic ecosystems. The spike in manatee deaths is ecocide — it has to stop now.  Join the outcry: tell the Fish and Wildlife Service that manatees should be fully protected under the Endangered Species Act before it's too late. もっと読む

  • Ban African Elephant Trophy Imports Now!
    African elephants are in grave danger: They’re being slaughtered by trophy hunters looking to mount their heads on walls.  It’s disgusting and inhumane.  Savanna elephant populations have plunged by 30%, and yet the United States may soon allow hunters to import elephant body parts as trophies once again. We cannot allow that to happen.  We must ban the import of elephant trophies under the Endangered Species Act.  Banning elephant trophy imports would deter many trophy hunters and send a clear message that the United States does not support killing these iconic animals — whether it’s for a head mount or a poached ivory tusk.  U.S. trophy hunters historically played an outsized role in the international trophy trade but recently, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service largely paused letting these hunters bring back their kills. After a hunting group sued, the agency is now deciding whether to allow hunters to bring elephant heads, tusks, feet and other trophies from Zimbabwe and Namibia back home again.  Elephants are not trophies. They’re highly intelligent, social animals – and just last year savanna elephants were declared to be in danger of extinction.  Now is the time to strengthen protections to save this species and stop hunters from using these animals for thrill-kills to show off their body parts on walls and floors.   That’s why the Center for Biological Diversity and allies are calling on the Biden administration to end those imports once and for all, by banning them under the Endangered Species Act.  The Center has been fighting trophy imports of imperiled species for years. Policies that allow or expand the killing of rare and vanishing wildlife fly in the face of reason and decency — and accelerate the extinction crisis.  Take action today: Tell the USFWS to ban trophy imports from these magnificent creatures as head mounts, feet, tusks or any other meaningless trophy. もっと読む

  • Save the Maine Lobster Industry
    Note: Donations to the Maine Lobster industry are not being collected through this petition. Donations to Change.org are not encouraged or required to participate in this initiative. For more than 150 years the Maine Lobster industry has worked tirelessly to preserve the Maine Lobster species and protect the marine environment including the North Atlantic right whale. The recent decision by the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch program to move Maine Lobster to its “Red list” of seafoods to avoid is not supported by the facts. It is counterproductive to decades of proactive efforts made by the fishery to ensure the protection of right whales, including new regulations that are still in the process of being implemented. The facts speak for themselves: Not a single right whale death has been attributed to Maine Lobster gear and there have been no known entanglements in Maine Lobster gear since 2004. The MBA’s decision ignores a long history of efforts from the fishery designed to protect right whales, including: removal of more than 27,000 miles of floating rope, the use of “weak links,” designed to allow whales to break free in the rare event they are entangled, and distinctive gear marking, as well as compliance and collaboration with state and federal rule makers on all regulations. Further, the decision to Red List Maine Lobster contradicts the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s own past assessment of Maine Lobster as a “good alternative” as recently as 2014. Protection measures have only increased since then. Maine Lobster has always been sustainable, and the baseless decision by the Seafood Watch program greatly impacts an industry that is the backbone of the economy in Maine, supporting entire communities, composed of generations of fishermen who have always prioritized the health of the fishery and the Gulf of Maine. Sign our petition to the Monterey Bay Aquarium to push them to reconsider this decision. The livelihoods of Mainers, lobstermen and their families, all of whom support sustainable lobstering, depends on your support. Learn more about Maine Lobster’s sustainability practices by visiting LobsterFromMaine.com and continue to support the fishery by enjoying Maine Lobster.もっと読む

  • Tell Congress to Keep Gas Prices Low
    My name is Carrie Anne and I am a single mom of two living in Florida. Since the loss of the child tax credit at the beginning of this year I have made budget cuts, used coupons more, and held off on fun activities for my girls in order to make ends meet. However, all of that frugality goes out the window when I get to the gas pump. Every penny I managed to save elsewhere ends up going in the tank to get us where we need to go, school, work, Girl Scout meetings. As we come out of this pandemic, we cannot sit at home and do nothing. We have places to go, and so does the rest of America.  Oil companies have been making record profits over the last decade. Please join me in signing this petition to tell Congress to protect and support people, not big oil.  Please join me in signing the petition to tell Congress they must support everyday Americans immediately, by either reducing the price of gas, or getting extra cash to folks to cover these new added costs.  Send the message: Enough is Enough, Congress must support and prioritize everyday people, not big oil.もっと読む

    The police are sworn to an oath to serve and protect their community. What happened in Uvalde, Texas on May 24, 2022, was a gross dereliction of duty by the presiding officers. Their failure to not only stop the shooter from entering Robb Elementary School, but refusal to enter the building to engage the shooter cost the lives of 19 children and 2 adults. These officers should be held accountable for their ineptitude and released from their positions, as they have no intentions on serving and protecting the children of Uvalde.もっと読む

  • Stop Non-Consensual Pelvic Exams on Anesthetized Patients in New Mexico
    Most people are shocked to learn that it is common for medical students to learn how to do pelvic exams by "practicing" on anesthetized patients who have come in for surgical procedures, often without any prior consent. This practice has a long history and happens all over the U.S. and around the world in many medical institutions. The patients rarely know it has happened because they were unconscious. Pelvic exams can happen to anesthetized patients in other scenarios as well. This can happen to anyone with a vagina. Both students and patients are traumatized by this long-standing practice. It is very hard for medical students to say "no" when they are asked to do something, and the psychological impact on them is yet undocumented. It was found in a 2003 peer-reviewed research study that 90% of students were learning in this manner. No new research has shown this number to have changed. Institutions often defend and protect this practice, despite public outcry. We need to outlaw this practice in order to make it clear that this kind of betrayal of patient bodies is not okay. If medical institutions were going to change this themselves, they would have done it by now. It's time that we send a clear message that informed consent is critical for pelvic exams while under anesthesia.  There are currently only 20 states that outlaw this practice. Yes, that means it's legal everywhere else, including New Mexico. Our goal is to get laws passed in all 50 states. We are asking you to show our state legislators that we will not accept non-consensual exams on anesthetized patients in New Mexico. We, the undersigned, ask our New Mexico representatives to protect patient autonomy and informed consent by passing legislation banning this practice.  RESOURCES: >> Here are a few places where this practice has been documented and a recent article on best legislative practices as we take action:  The 90% statistic is in this article, and it was found that students felt informed consent was less important after their OB/GYN clerkships (very problematic): Ubel, P. A., Jepson, C., & Silver-Isenstadt, A. (2003).

  • BAN AR-15 GUNS
    When will we stop mass shooters? BAN THIS GUN NOW!! Hunters, gun lovers: we aren’t asking to take away your guns. We are asking to ban the AR-15 assault rifle. AR-15 is NOT NECESSARY to hunt for animals nor protect yourself!! AR-15s inflict much more damage to human tissue than the typical handgun. That's largely because of the speed at which projectiles leave the weapons; they are much faster out of the muzzle of an AR-15, and deliver a more devastating blow to bones and organs. Those projectiles are also more likely to break apart as they pass through the body, inflicting more damage. When the higher muzzle-velocity projectiles strike an organ, you’re more likely to have severe injury and bleeding. Dying is more likely with this style weapon, than with lower muzzle-velocity munitions. This is why so many mass shooters are using this weapon - they can murder more innocent victims at once.  BAN THESE WEAPONS NOW!! Sign and tell congress: we do not want these weapons available to the public for any reason.もっと読む

  • Congress: Protect our Right to Choose!
    UPDATE 6/24/2022: This morning, the Supreme Court officially overturned Roe v. Wade, despite the fact that 61% of Americans support the right to safe abortion. A majority of our Senators and Representatives – even some moderate Republicans – say they believe in keeping abortion legal and safe. It’s time for them to live up to their word. Congress must act NOW and agree on legislation that offers federal protection for access to abortion – regardless of where a pregnant person lives. Click here to email your elected officials and demand they pass legislation that protects our right to choose. My name is Kate and I was once faced with one of the toughest decisions a woman could ever make. During my first trimester, I found out my pregnancy was no longer progressing. Overwhelmed with grief and anxiety, my doctor recommended D&C, a procedure that allowed me to choose the best route for my physical health. This procedure further permitted me to skip pain I would have otherwise had to endure, mentally and physically. D&C is a form of abortion and such a procedure allowed me to choose what was best for me and my family.  Back then, I had options. Those options will be wiped away for other women in my home state of Indiana and all across the country when Roe v. Wade is overturned by the Supreme Court next month – as indicated by the leaked draft of Justice Samuel Alito. Other women deserve to have the same choice I had. My experience does not include those who are sexually abused and, as a result, become pregnant. The standard which the Supreme Court is setting would hinder a victim’s right to abortion after rape or incest as well. No girl or woman should be forced to give birth – especially after becoming pregnant under despicable circumstances. I refuse to allow our generation to be the first in U.S. history where daughters have fewer rights and less freedom than their mothers. As a mother myself, such a regression of protections and rights is frankly appalling.  Further, a right to necessary healthcare based on geographic location is abhorrent and against common decency. I refuse to live in an America where a woman's ability to live out her destiny is limited by her zip code. Forced births are un-American and the time to end this assault on the dignity of pregnant people is now. National legislation is vital in this moment. The majority of our Senators and Representatives – even some moderate Republicans – say they believe in access to safe abortion. Congress must draft and agree on legislation that offers federal protection for access to abortion – regardless of where a pregnant person lives.  Our elected officials represent the people of this country. The majority of us want access to safe and legal abortions. It is their duty to act in our best interest. Lives are on the line. Sign this petition, then call your Senator and representatives and demand they pass legislation that protects our right to choose.もっと読む
