Example Submitted Post
No more kids with cancer: Clean up the Santa Susana Field Lab
Video: A Change.org-made feature video explaining the situation and the story of the organization's founder, whose daughter got cancer.
From the organizers:
"Sign to demand that California's EPA and the Dept. of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) enforce the AOC cleanup of the Santa Susana Field Lab and prevent any more children from getting cancer...
My daughter’s childhood was stolen from her, and it haunts me to know her cancer might have been avoidable.
She, like [dozens of other] children, grew up within 20 miles the Santa Susana Field Lab, land which was developed in the 1940s to conduct rocket engine tests and secret nuclear research. In 1959 an uncontained partial meltdown of a sodium reactor caused such a devastating radiation leak that many consider it to be the worst nuclear disaster in U.S. history – and it was completely covered up for years.
Our community has up to 60% higher cancer rates, 20% higher invasive breast cancer rates, and we have the reports to prove it. It is the Department of Toxic Substance Control’s job to clean up this mess. They know our children are sick and dying, but they aren’t taking any meaningful action against those who own the land – Boeing, NASA and the Department of Energy.
The Woolsey Fire, which began on Santa Susana Field Lab, may have exposed millions of people in Southern California to the chemical and radioactive waste from the site, via ash and smoke. It proved once again that we will not be safe until the site is 100% cleaned up."

Info
Action Type: Petition
Source organization: Parents Against Santa Susanna Field Laboratory
Where: Southern California, specifically western Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Chatsworth, and anything between those areas.
In person or virtual: Virtual. You can sign from anywhere, especially in the United States.
Time/date range: Petition started in 2017, ongoing, because Boeing is refusing to comply with the required cleanup plan they signed.
Here's the link again!
Anything else: This nuclear meltdown is the reason my grandfather died young of cancer. It's the reason 6+ members of my family are at lifelong elevated cancer risk, me included.
Everyone who has lived in this region, which includes a large area of Los Angeles, needs elevated levels of cancer screenings, especially for children, yet basically no one knows that.
(More on this here, if you're from any of the cities I listed PLEASE look into this and talk to your doctor about increased cancer screenings asap!)

Deacon from Southern California Siamese Rescue in Thousand Oaks, California
Click here for more information about adoption and other ways to help!
Click here for a link to Southern California Siamese Rescue's main website.
Deacon is the best boi! He is a real standout kitten. He has so many of the usual Siamese traits - inquisitiveness, playfulness, cuddliness. He is very funny and just loves to be with people and where the action is. He has a wonderful coat. Soft, but more mink-like in feel and color. He has the tiniest bit of white on his toes, white on his chest and a little bit of white on his jelly belly. He loves plastic coil spring toys, fake fur rattle mice, and especially likes pipe cleaner toys that you could make for him! He is very good about taking a pipe cleaner toy and redesigning it to fit the moment! He gets along very well with his brother Rondo, but will do great with another kitten about his age. He's truly a "Siamese In Disguise"!

Blue
"the world is dying,
but first our friends
and neighbors"
#Poem: "Blue"
The wave at the shore
was followed by blood
and flame. California singes
itself, Thousand Oaks
surrounded by smoke
clouds rising
into a blanket, smothering,
like the chorus
assembling on our streets–
the world is dying,
but first our friends
and neighbors,
how this bloodshed
has been on the fringe
of our existence until
it’s not, it’s everywhere–
down the road, polluting
our hope, it…
