ALERT: Keep our water clean

Your drinking water could be at risk if public lands like our national monuments and forests are opened up to industrial development.

A new report found that drinking water for more than 13 million Americans could be at risk if Congress and the Trump administration continue efforts to roll back protections for national monuments. Meanwhile, more than 60 million Americans get their water from streams that flow from national forests, which are also under threat.

Congress is gutting protections on millions of acres of public lands to make way for oil and gas drilling, logging and other development. This would threaten our drinking water, wildlife and the places where we hike, fish and hunt.

The administration is ramping up attacks, too. The BLM just held its largest Colorado lease sale in recent history — enabling oil drilling across sensitive wildlife areas and near a reservoir that supplies drinking water to more than 400,000 people. The same scenario could play out in communities across the West.

YOU can take action to stop Congress and the administration from selling out our public lands and waters, and keep our drinking water safe. Sign our petition demanding your elected officials OPPOSE selling out our public lands to extractive industries that put private profit over the public good.

Together, we can protect our water, our communities and our wild places for generations to come.

Governor Kelly: Commute All Kansas Death Sentences

Right now, nine people are on death row in Kansas, but the state hasn't executed anyone in more than 60 years. Despite this, Kansas spends millions of taxpayer dollars on a deeply dysfunctional system that has been administered in an unjust manner without improving public safety. Those resources could instead fund mental health programs, community violence prevention, education and job training, crime labs, and services for victims of crime.

Governor Kelly has the power to act before her term ends in January. Commuting all nine death sentences would address the system's deep flaws while sending a powerful message to Kansans that it's time to consider repealing the death penalty entirely.

Add your name to the petition and demand the attention these cases deserve.

Our petition to Governor Laura Kelly:

We urge you to commute all death sentences in Kansas before leaving office.

The death penalty in Kansas is deeply dysfunctional and has been administered in an unjust manner that has drained vast public resources without improving public safety. There has not been an execution in Kansas in more than 60 years, but the state continues to spend millions on this flawed system.

Commuting all death sentences would address the system's deep flaws while allowing scarce taxpayer resources to be redirected to more effective public safety programs, including mental health programs, community violence prevention services, education and job training, crime labs, and services for victims of crime.

These cases deserve your full consideration, not a rushed process. Any attempt to expedite this process would result in further injustice.

Commuting death sentences also sends a powerful message to Kansans that it is time to consider repealing the death penalty. Your leadership on this issue could be a beacon to others across the country.

We respectfully ask that you give these cases the attention they deserve and commute all death sentences.

Thank you for considering this important issue.
