New Antisemitism Definition
On the IHRA definition:

"Absent from these discussions, however, is a crucial voice: that of Palestinians. And as a result, Palestinians are once again being denied the means to express their opposition to the brutality of Israel’s policies & practices."https://t.co/J5BaoqpXm6

Greenpeace: New oil pipelines threaten water and endangered orcas
Oil pipelines are a threat to clean drinking water and our oceans.
A proposed tar sands pipeline in Canada that would create a tanker superhighway that could drive the 76 remaining endangered Southern Resident orcas to extinction.
Expansion of tar sands oil will undermine efforts to protect the global climate, and it's not a question of if, but when, pipelines will spill, threatening access to clean water.
Energy Transfer Partners' Dakota Access Pipeline has already spilled four times since it was built, and a major spill would threaten the drinking water of 17 million people.
But the wave of resistance is building.
Some banks are already backing away from tar sands pipelines and Energy Transfer Partners, but each of these Dirty Dozen banks are still financially involved in some of these projects. If people around the world ask their banks to commit to NOT fund these pipelines, we can tip the balance on these toxic projects and stop these new pipelines for good.
Tell the Dirty Dozen banks not to fund pipelines that threaten our water!
Take Action!

Greenpeace: Less is More!
Eating more plant-based meals is not only good for your health, it’s vital for our planet. In fact, producing meat releases as many carbon emissions as all planes, trains, cars, and trucks combined. Our planet needs less meat and more plants — now, and you can help make it happen!

Asian Quinoa Salad
https://minimalistbaker.com/asian-quinoa-salad/
Ingredients
QUINOA
VEGETABLES
DRESSING
Instructions
Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add sesame oil and rinsed quinoa. Toast quinoa, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes, then add water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 18-20 minutes (or until liquid is absorbed). Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set off of the heat. Crack the lid partway open to let steam escape.
While the quinoa is cooking, add 1 inch of water to a medium saucepan, heat over medium-high heat, and insert a steamer basket (or steam in the microwave). Once water is simmering, add the edamame, then the broccoli and cover. Cook for 2 minutes to gently thaw the edamame and steam the broccoli. Then remove from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl (for serving). Set in the refrigerator to chill.
Next prepare dressing by adding all ingredients to a small mixing bowl and whisking to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness, chili garlic sauce for heat, tamari for saltiness, or lime juice for acidity. Set aside.
Add quinoa, sliced red pepper, and cabbage to the steamed broccoli and edamame and top with dressing. Toss to combine. Serve immediately.
Best when fresh but will keep covered in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days.

War on Poverty: It's Over?
Poverty's over, you guys. The administration says so.

The Trump administration has a new argument for dismantling the social safety net: It worked.Republicans for years have proclaimed the federal government’s decades-old War on Poverty a failure.
“Americans are no better off today than they were before the War on Poverty began in 1964,” House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) wrote in his 2016 plan to dramatically scale back the federal safety net.
Now the Trump administration is pitching a new message on anti-poverty programs, saying efforts that Republicans had long condemned as ineffective have already worked.

One Truckload of Plastic
The equivalent of a truckload of plastic enters the oceans every minute. By 2050, there will be 12 billion tonnes of plastic waste in natural environments. That needs to stop. #BreakFreeFromPlastic #Useless #Wasteless

Stop the Meadowlands Fracked Gas Plant
We don't need another major polluter in our communities.
Governor Murphy has the power to stop this fracked gas power plant before it can be built. Let's hold him accountable to his promise of a healthier, more prosperous New Jersey powered by 100% renewable energy.
Sign the petition to tell him and your local and state representatives that we'll accept nothing less than a full rejection of this dirty, dangerous fracked gas power plant proposal.
