Don't Let Trump Get Away With It! Friends of the Earth Need Your Help!

Dear Larry,
Support our work without spending a dime: Click here to vote for Friends of the Earth Action!
Donald Trump is trying to gut the EPA. He advanced the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines. And he’s threatened to “cancel” the Paris Climate Agreement.
At Friends of the Earth Action, we’re building the movement to stop Trump. We’re working to expose and defeat his climate-denying cabinet. We’re pushing Congress to stand up to his extreme anti-environmental agenda. And we’re taking the fight outside Washington -- building power at the state and local level.
Now you could help us earn up to $100,000 to keep all of this momentum going -- and it won't cost you a dime. CREDO, a progressive activist network and phone service provider, has selected Friends of the Earth Action as one organization they will help fund this month.
But to secure the funding, we need your vote! The more votes we get, the more CREDO will donate to Friends of the Earth Action.
Voting is free, easy and only takes a few seconds. Please click here to vote and help us earn up to $100,000 to keep these campaigns going.
CREDO has been a longstanding partner with Friends of the Earth Action, and has provided integral support by spreading the word about our campaigns -- from GMOs to fracking -- and by mobilizing activists just like you. We’re honored to have been chosen to receive a CREDO donation, but we need your help to make it happen.
Please note, if you’re not already a CREDO Action member, you’ll be prompted to join after you vote -- it’s free, easy, and a great way to stay up to speed about environmental and other progressive issues!
Voting for Friends of the Earth Action is a great way to contribute to our ongoing campaigns, and it only takes a few seconds. Vote now!
Regards,
Erich Pica,           
President,
Friends of the Earth Action

Are hungry kids a priority for the Harper government? by Larry Powell The forum (for the riding of Dauphin - Swan River - Neepawa) was sponsored by the Mission and Services Committee of the Neepawa United Church. It drew about 80 people to the church on Wednesday. But only four of the five candidates (see below) took part in the debate -  Ray  Piché  (Liberal),   Kate Storey (Green Party),  Inky Mark (Ind.) and  Laverne Lewycky (NDP) . The 5th candidate, the sitting Conservative MP for the area, Robert Sopuck (represented by the empty chair on the right), did not attend. His office manager in Neepawa, Christine Waddell, said he was in Inglis, a small community in the western part of the riding for the evening. She did not elaborate. But she did explain that a campaign worker was mistaken when he told forum organizers earlier that Mr. Sopuck would, in fact be there. Piché , the Liberal candidate, said the MP's absence showed “disrespect” for the rest of the candidates

A Candidate's Forum on Child Poverty Touches a Nerve in Manitoba.

by Larry Powell Planet In Peril has sorted through some of the confusion surrounding the absence of Robert Sopuck (above), the Conservative Member of Parliament for Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa,  from a candidates' forum on child poverty in Neepawa on Wednesday.  About a month ago, his office told forum organizers that he would be attending.  But his office manager in Neepawa, Christine Waddell, later announced he could not attend due to "scheduling conflicts." She said the night of the event, he was in Inglis, a small town in the western part of his riding.  This morning, however, Sopuck himself told PinP he had actually been in Roblin, a larger town just north of Inglis. A newspaper ad indicated it was a "meet and greet" affair. But that was in the morning in Roblin, a town within a 3-hour drive of Neepawa. So it's still not clear what the event in Inglis was which took priority over a candidate's forum. The MP bristled at my suggestion th
