Why would any Democrat attend Trump's State of the Union?

Not one Democrat should attend Trump's State of the Union

The petition to Democrats reads:
"Attending Trump's State of the Union would sanction and legitimize the politics of hate he is using to divide and destroy the country. Don't go."

Dear Katy,

Not one Democrats should attend Trump's State of the Union

Why would any Democrat attend Donald Trump's State of the Union?

Trump is a racist, corrupt and bigoted misogynist who disrespects the institution of the presidency and the very foundations of our democracy every day he is in the White House.

If Democrats attend the State of the Union on Feb. 5 and participate as smiling and clapping bipartisan wallflowers during the traditional pomp-and-circumstance of the event, they will be sanctioning Trump's politics of hate and turning their backs on everyone he threatens. Not a single one of them should attend.

Not one Democrat should attend Trump's State of the Union. Click here to sign the petition.

With his ratings dropping, Democrats holding strong to block his wall and the Mueller investigation indicting his associates and closing in on his corrupt administration, Trump is desperate for a win.1,2 There is no doubt he will use the same formula of hate, fear and lies during his State of the Union address to re-energize his racist base of supporters and shift blame for his administration's incompetence.

House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi should have never agreed to give him another opportunity to address the American people at large. Giving a State of the Union is a privilege that Trump has neither earned nor deserves.

His administration institutionalized racist and bigoted bans on Muslims and LGBTQ people, systemically rolled back decades of civil rights progress, legalized discrimination in health care, gutted the EPA and hurled horrific attacks against immigrants and refugees.

Trump and his Republican lapdogs in Congress are taking a sledgehammer to our democracy and hurting millions of people. Democrats must stop acting like it's business as usual and make a choice: Do they care more about tradition and decorum or about resisting Trump's hateful regime and showing the American people that they have their backs?

Speak out now to make sure Democrats do the right thing and skip Trump's State of the Union.

Invest in the future of the planet

Kathleen-

Invest in the future of the planet!

Our oceans are choking on plastic.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an agglomeration of floating plastic trash, covers more than 600,000 square miles — and there are four more in other parts of the world that are nearly as big.

We need to keep this poisonous plastic pollution out of our oceans. We can do that … if you help us.

You, Kathleen, have already done a lot! Just yesterday, we delivered tens of thousands of messages to Trader Joe's headquarters to demand the grocer do its part to stop ocean plastic pollution, hundreds called Trader Joe's to further press our cause, and many of you joined us at beach cleanups throughout the country. Together, we've amplified our collective voice. We've raised public awareness about the urgent problem of plastic pollution and turned up the heat on the big brands causing this mess.

The best way to support Greenpeace's fight to end throwaway plastic and everything we do for the environment is to become a sustaining member.

Become a Greenpeace member now, and invest in the future of the planet.

This movement is growing every day. Towns, cities and counties across the country are banning plastic shopping bags and straws. And, Kroger, one of the largest grocery-store chains in the world, has committed to phasing out single-use plastic shopping bags.

Much of the credit for a lot of this progress goes to the Greenpeace action agents like you who protested, boycotted, and shamed companies by posting photos of unnecessary plastic packaging. Without this constant pressure, there would have been no governmental action and no corporate concessions.

But our work is far from over. We won't rest until plastic bags, wrappers, containers, and abusive plastic packaging are all a thing of the past. We've come this far, and we can go much farther … but only if you stand with us once again. Be one of the more than 2,000 committed members. Join Greenpeace and support all our critical work. The oceans are counting on you.

For a plastic-free world,

Kate Melges
Oceans Campaigner, Greenpeace USA

P.S. I wasn't exaggerating when I called plastic pollution "poisonous." The plastic trash floating on the ocean doesn't decompose or biodegrade. It just breaks into tiny particles of plastic that enter into the food chain when fish and other sea creatures accidentally ingest them. We took seawater samples along the East Coast, the West Coast, and the Antarctic … and found microplastics in every single one. Microplastics have been found in U.S. drinking water supplies, and in human waste. We are literally poisoning ourselves. Help us keep up the pressure on those companies responsible for this horrendous state of affairs, help us end single-use plastic pollution completely, and support all our important work. Become a Greenpeace member now.

Greenpeace never takes a dime from corporations or governments. Everything we do is thanks to the generous support of people like you!

We just dropped by Trader Joe’s HQ… Give them a call

Image

Kathleen-

Let's make sure Trader Joe's hears your message loud and clear!

Wow! There are days when I truly feel the great responsibility of being in this movement alongside you, Kathleen. Today's one of those days and thank you for making it possible.

This morning, we delivered 102,806 petition signatures and resolutions to Trader Joe's management at their headquarters in Monrovia, California!

Now's the time to keep up the pressure by taking the next step and calling Trader Joe's.

Dial that number at 1-855-636-8150 and tell Trader Joe's to end throwaway plastic and offer sustainable packaging.

If phone lines are jammed, call back later or leave a message letting them know we're watching and expect change.

Trader Joe's can establish better practices for all supermarkets but only if we keep up the pressure and demand real change.

Please make that call: Trader Joe's at 1-855-636-8150!

Thank you for everything that you do,

Anna Wagner 
Senior National Organizer, Greenpeace USA
