We've won some big ones together

Ever bought a Kit-Kat (made by Nestle), a Band-Aid (made by Johnson & Johnson), an iPod (made by Apple), opened a bank account, or joined Facebook?

I’m guessing the answer to at least one of those questions is "yes". And that’s the basis for SumOfUs.org. We have relationships with thousands of corporations in our daily lives -- which also means that we have power over them: The power to hold them accountable.

Australia is failing all of the environmental commitments it signed up to 20 years ago

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 23/06/2012 - 1:46am

By Greens Senator Larissa Waters

With the United Nations Rio+20 conference, 20 years since the Rio Declaration on Sustainable Development, we must now look back on our record of environmental protection. Sadly, our record leaves much to be desired.

Urgent: Save Rio, save the planet

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 22/06/2012 - 2:04pm

Dear Friends,

Over a million people have called on world leaders to end fossil fuel subsidies at the Rio Earth Summit, but our leaders have so far failed to deliver. Now, the only chance to save the talks from disaster rests with Brazil's Dilma -- sign this urgent petition calling on her to emerge a planet hero and end the polluter payouts!

Navy chief raped us said two sailors - one of many such complaints

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Wed, 20/06/2012 - 7:08pm

Two retired sailors have accused a former top navy officer of raping them aboard the ship he commanded in 1973. I know both these men and they are telling the truth. For far too long they have been denied all forms of justice and one of these men had his pension denied as the Navy Chief had gone to great lengths to silence him.
