=================================

Help Protect National Forests

America's national forests provide essential 
habitat for lynx, grizzlies and other wildlife -- 
and clean water for millions of Americans. Yet 
new rules could threaten the sanctity of these 
special places, paving the way for more logging 
and more destructive development on our national 
forests. Help protect these special places. Sign 
the petition online at: http://dfnd.us/vYt93D

After Rio+20: Moving Beyond 2015
RSVP at http://j.mp/rio20plus
15-19 OCT 2012 (9am - 5pm only)
COST: FREE
Ramapo College, 505 Ramapo Valley Road, Mahwah, NJ
In the campus Student Center Room SC 137

The speakers for this event series are all key 
players from Civil Society Organizations and from 
the United Nations, collectively engaged in 
planning for a post-Rio+20 future. The purpose of 
the workshop series is to lay out the framework 
for a road map to plan for a Global Citizens 
Movement to help us move beyond the major United 
Nations Rio+20 conference held earlier this year 
in June.

In this intensive workshop, the many dimensions 
of the UN Conference in Rio de Janeiro will be 
explored, and a coherent path forward will be 
charted.

As you may be aware, by most conventional 
accounts, Rio+20 was at least a disappointment, 
if not a failure. We argue that real, 
path-breaking, and innovative solutions began to 
emerge from the grassroots level out, and we will 
present many dimensions of these solutions, as 
well as strategize a way forward into a more 
sustainable future.

Support the Ramapough Indians.
Tell the EPA to clean up Ford's mess in Ringwood.

Journalist Jan Barry started the research on the 
tragic and intentional pollution of a housing 
development which was home to members of a tribe 
of Ramapough Indians in Ringwood, NJ, and 
collaborated with HBO to create Mann v. Ford, a 
moving documentary about the crushing impact this 
has had on the health of tribe members as well as 
the water source for the entire region.

The site was prematurely de-listed by the EPA 
from its Superfund cleanup status, and several 
years later became the first site to be listed 
for a second time. Ford has resisted taking 
responsibility for the poisonous effects on tribe 
members of the toxic paint sludge it trucked in 
under cover of nightfall every day for many 
years, and has also resisted funding the cost of 
cleanup.

Make sure the EPA knows you support the clean-up 
of the Ramapough Indians by (Action 1) signing 
the Change.org petition and (Action 2) sending a 
letter to the EPA. Petition and sample letter 
available at
