Petition Encouraging EPA to ‘Do the Right Thing’ for Our Nation’S Nearly Two Million Farmworkers February 7, 2014 Gina McCarthy, Administrator Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW. Washington, DC 20460–0001 Dear Administrator McCarthy, We are very pleased that EPA will soon request public comment on long-awaited revisions to the Worker Protection Standard(WPS). Collectively, and as organizations that work closely with farmworkers and on farmworker health and safety issues, we hope to see a revised WPS that is as strong and protective of farmworkers and their families as possible. We look forward to the pending public comment period, as do the 18,255 supporters from across the country who have signed the attached petition encouraging EPA to ‘do the right thing’ for our nation’s nearly two million farmworkers. We will continue to mobilize farmworkers and their families, growers, clinicians, researchers and policy makers, to engage them in the important process of public comment. We want to ensure that EPA hears from the communities directly impacted by Worker Protection Standard as well as those who can offer their expertise and guidance in support of better protections for U.S. farmworkers. Thank you for your time and attention, and we hope that we can count on your administration’s support for strong protections for our nation’s farmworkers. Sincerely, Anne Katten California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation Andrea Delgado EarthJustice Jeannie Economos Farmworker Association of Florida Virginia Ruiz Farmworker Justice Amy Liebman Migrant Clinicians Network Margaret Reeves Pesticide Action Network Fawn Pattison Toxics Free North Carolina Erik Nicholson United Farm Workers And all members of the Safer Farmworkers, Food and Families Campaign (http://protectfarmworkers.org/about/) Citizen Petition Dear Administrator McCarthy, More than 13 years of delay is just too long. The Worker Protection Standards designed to protect farmworkers from dangerous pesticides have languished in “internal review” since 2000, while farmworkers and their families continue to experience harm. We urge you to fix these broken rules, strengthening them in ways that are truly protective, including providing farmworkers with the following: 1. More complete and regular training on health risks of pesticides; safety measures they can take to protect themselves and their families; their employers’ responsibilities to ensure their safety; and their rights as workers. These trainings must be offered more often than the current requirement of every 5 years. 2. Timely information (in an accessible format), about the timing, location and hazards of specific pesticides used on the farm where they work. 3. Special protections for pesticide handlers. 4. Improved enforcement of safety standards at the state level. We hope the revised Worker Protection Standards are significantly stronger and more effectively protect farmworkers and their families.

  • April 26Th, 2021 Gina Mccarthy, Chair John Kerry National Climate Task
    April 26th, 2021 Gina McCarthy, Chair John Kerry National Climate Task Force U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate Deb Haaland Tom Vilsack U.S. Secretary of the Interior U.S. Secretary of Agriculture RE: A Climate-Forestry Agenda for the United States Dear Chair McCarthy, Presidential Envoy Kerry and Secretaries Haaland and Vilsack; We applaud the Biden Administration’s commitment to a robust, government-wide approach for combatting the climate crisis making full use of federal, state and local government capacities as set forth in Executive Order 140008. As you know, this requires a radical shift in management of the nation’s forestlands to ensure that they are no longer deforested and degraded by logging, grazing, mining, oil and gas development, roads, suburban sprawl and other uses that are driving climate change and making the land more susceptible to its effects. The good news is that by catalyzing a shift to forest management that prioritizes the myriad biodiversity and climate services of our nation’s forests, the Biden Administration can make major gains towards meeting the US nationally determined contribution (NDC) under the Paris Climate Agreement while achieving all of the important goals set forth in EO 140008, including reducing climate pollution, increasing landscape resilience to climate change, protecting public health, conserving our lands, waters and biodiversity, delivering environmental justice and creating jobs and economic growth in our most economically distressed rural communities. But doing this will require seeing through the misinformation and false solutions offered by Big Timber. Contrary to what Wall Street, foreign and other large corporations are telling Congress and members of your administration, logging is not a solution to climate change.

  • What's Next for the United States?
    February 2021 Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Office USA, Washington, D.C. What's next for the United States? Part 2: Climate Change and Energy Supply By Sabine Murphy How is the Biden administration changing the direction of the U.S.? The KAS Office USA takes a first look, in a series of five country reports. This report deals with climate and energy challenges. The White House website promises “swift action to tackle the climate emergency” and a “clean energy revolution”. Key Policy Goals The Biden-Harris administration doesn’t make it a secret that the fight against climate change is on top of the to-do-list. Climate is prominently listed on the White House website as one of seven top policy priorities. It states: “President Biden will take swift action to tackle the climate emergency. The Biden administration will ensure we meet the demands of science, while empowering American workers and businesses to lead a clean energy revolution.”1 The Biden administration takes a decidedly different approach to energy use and the impact of rising temperatures on the environment than its predecessor. After four years of the Trump administration denying scientific findings about climate change, Biden has pledged to follow science and involve the entire federal government in the fight against climate change. By creating inter-agency working groups and a National Climate Task Force, Biden wants to ensure that his policies for the production of clean energy and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, are not limited to single agencies but will be implemented throughout the federal government. During his campaign, Biden promised to reach a goal of net-zero emissions across the economy before 2050, and to eliminate pollution caused by fossil fuel in electricity production by 2035.

  • Letter to School Officials
    Dear School Officials, Grassroot Soccer is fighting to save the lives of children in Africa, and we need the help of your students and community! Grassroot Soccer (GRS) is an international nonprofit (Federal Tax I.D. # 43-1957920) that uses the power of soccer to prevent the spread of AIDS and save lives among those with the highest rates of new infections—youth in Africa. GRS mobilizes the most vulnerable population of youth, ages 12 – 19, to break the cycle of AIDS by engaging local coaches who equip young people with the knowledge, skills and support they need to avoid HIV. Grassroot Soccer’s founders – Ethan Zohn (Winner, Survivor: Africa), Methembe Ndlovu (former Captain, Zimbabwe National Team), Kirk Friedrich and I, Dr. Tommy Clark – all have strong ties to Africa forged while playing professional soccer together in Zimbabwe. We all had close friends infected with HIV, and many others who died of AIDS. But we also understood how dominant soccer was in the culture. This inspired us to empower the most influential community role models, our soccer teammates, to teach children about HIV transmission and prevention and developing healthy life skills. In 2006, high school and college students began organizing Grassroot Soccer 3v3 Tournaments to benefit our organization. This became an incredible awareness and fundraising platform that has raised more than $350,000 for GRS. It has also given students the opportunity to learn more about the global HIV/AIDS epidemic and has empowered them to get personally involved. Please visit www.grassrootsoccer.org/host-a-tournament to learn more about these tournaments and our fight to eliminate HIV/AIDS in Africa through soccer.

  • Info Alert National Conference of State Legislatures Office of State-Federal Relations March 4, 2013
    Info Alert National Conference of State Legislatures Office of State-Federal Relations March 4, 2013 President Announces Three Cabinet-Level Nominations and Releases Report to Congress on Sequestration On March 4 President Obama made three cabinet-level position nominations: Gina McCarthy to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Ernest Moniz to be the secretary of Energy, and Sylvia Mathews Burwell to be the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). McCarthy is currently the Assistant Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation at EPA and has long been involved with environmental policy on the federal, state and local level, as an environmental policy advisor to five governors in her native Massachusetts, as well as holding the position of Commissioner for the Connecticut Environmental Protection Agency. Moniz is currently a professor of physics and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is director of MIT’s Energy Initiative program; he was previously undersecretary of Energy under President Clinton.
