In exploring the connection between humans and animals with the underlying question of whether there are mutual benefits, an area in which the benefit is perhaps undeniably one-sided is the global trade of wild animals for purposes of food, entertainment exotic pet sales, or traditional medicines. These animals are treated very differently according to national and sometimes local laws that offer minimal protection. This week we ask that you consider signing this petition against animal cruelty or supporting the cause in another way that speaks to you.

Please sign the petition to urge the Senate to reject the Trumpcareless Illness Insurance Plan!
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its most recent analysis of the Trumpcareless bill on 24 May 2017. If the Senate passes the bill as it stands an estimated 14 million people will lose medical insurance coverage by 2018, 19 million by 2020, and 23 million by 2026 in comparison with the coverage offered by the current law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare.

Members of the U.S. Congress are on recess this month through Labor Day (September 7). This is a great time to make your voice heard on the importance of protecting families who receive the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC). Meeting face-to-face is the most effective action you can take to influence your members of Congress. Make a Difference – Schedule Face-to-Face Meetings with Your Members of Congress.
Find contact information for the district office of your member of Congress through the RESULTS website (under “Staff” tab). You can also call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask for your representative’s/senator’s office.
I just did it. I sent my senators emails. It was the easiest thing ever. Thanks to RESULTS for making it so easy.
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC) helped hardworking families make ends meet; they lifted 9.4 million people out of poverty in 2013, including 5 million children (Access data for your State .)
Despite the success of these pro-work tax credits, 16 million Americans, including million children, could fall into or deeper into poverty if Congress does not save key EITC and CTC provisions.
Are you interested in learning more about fighting poverty but you’re not sure where to begin? Learn more about RESULTS by joining us for an introductory call, signing up for action alerts, or reading up on our latest campaigns. YOU can be a voice for change and challenge the systems that create poverty around the world!

Good Films are a Social Action Educational Opportunity
The SF Jewish Film Festival is here and there are some worthwhile films on Israel/Palestine issues. Some offer historical background or a vision of coexistence. Others address the problems Palestinians face in regard to the occupation. None of them affirm the status quo. The Festival’s leadership continues to show courage. All of these films are listed under a heading called “Bridges and Barriers”.
The film screenings are already underway so Ready, Set, Go! see one or some or all of them! The shows remaining are as follows:
Directed by Joseph Dorman and Oren Rudavsky
Endeavors to show how Zionism was experienced not only by Israelis and Jews, but also by the Palestinians.
Directed by Duki Dror and Chen Shelach
“This soulful documentary beautifully captures the human cost of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict……Co-directors Chen Shelach and Duki Dror give us reason to believe that the world might look different if women and mothers were calling the shots.”
Directed by Erez Miller and Henrique Cymerman
and
This is what peace looks like in the hands of musicians featuring Israeli singer/songwriter David Broza, Grammy-winning Steve Earle, Palestinian Israeli singer Mira Awad (Arab Labor) and Iraqi Israeli Yair Dalal.
