There is a crisis in Florida

There is a human rights crisis in Florida's fields. Farm laborers are being paid poverty wages while working long hours without overtime pay. There is even physical abuse and wage fraud by crew leaders, supervisors, and growers.

There is a simple solution. Workers have asked Burger King to pay just one penny more per pound for tomatoes and ensure that the increase is passed on to tomato pickers in the form of increased wages. While other fast food corporations have already agreed to this small change, Burger King has so far refused to help workers out of poverty.

Sign the petition today and stand up for workers.


Condi Must Go

Just when you think it can't get any worse, the Bush Administration finds a new way to shock the conscience. Yesterday, ABC News reported that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice chaired explicit White House discussions about which torture techniques should be used on prisoners.

They "were so detailed" that "some of the interrogation sessions were almost choreographed -- down to the number of times CIA agents could use a specific tactic." This is the first time that we have evidence that senior officials, "not only discussed specific plans and specific interrogation methods, but approved them". Given these new revelations, Condoleezza Rice can not continue as Secretary of State.

Sign our Petition demanding that Rice resign.


Co-Sponsor the Responsible Plan

Gen. Petraeus has asked for a "45-day period for consolidation and evaluation to examine the situation on the ground". But we've heard this before. This is really just a request for endless war, forty-five days a time. After five years of an unnecessary war, we're tired of hearing the same rosy projections and shaded facts. We're fed up with the lies and want to bring our troops home.

A group of Congressional candidates have come up with a Responsible Plan to get our nation out of this nightmare, and scores of them have already agreed that if elected they will actually carry out the plan, not just keep holding hearings while continuing the war.

Sign on to the Responsible Plan Today.

Stand with Tibet

You've probably heard about the violence in Tibet. After decades of oppressive rule, the people of Tibet have taken to the streets to air their grievances. Violence is escalating, but the Dalai Lama has offered to meet directly with Chinese leaders to resolve the current crisis.

We urgently need to call on the Chinese government to live up to its obligations by resolving the situation peacefully and open up a direct dialogue with the Dalai Lama. Sign our petition to the Chinese President and make sure he renounces force in resolving the crisis:
