•Bolivia: Stop the Amazon Highway
Bolivia's government is in turmoil over a mega-highway
that would slice through the Amazon, fueling destruction
of the rainforest. Following brutal repression of
indigenous protesters, the President has been forced to
halt construction and reexamine his position. Let's
stand with the brave indigenous communities to stop
the crackdown and protect the Amazon -- sign the
petition and forward to everyone.

In two days, Quebec could give a $58 million loan guarantee to an
asbestos mine -- allowing it to continue pumping out poison for export
around the world. We can force Premier Charest to back off the loan
guarantee and close the asbestos mine for good.
