Russia Must Revise Law: Homosexuality Is Not A Crime
Citing a recently passed anti-gay law in St. Petersburg, a prominent advocate for LGBT rights has been fined for protesting this discriminatory legislation. Local officials must end the oppression of the LGBT community and prevent the spread of similar regulations across the country.
Protecting Russia’s Endangered Amur Leopard
With only an estimated 30 individuals left in the wild, Russia’s Amur leopard is the world’s most endangered big cat. As the leopard proves that it can inch back from almost certain extinction, the Russian government must also prove it can do what it takes to protect this beautifully unique animal.
Tell Russian Police to Thoroughly Investigate Attack on Journalist
A Russian journalist was attacked by two men and it took police an hour and a half to arrive on the scene. Elena Milashina writes for the Novaya Gazeta, the same independent newspaper Anna Politkovskaya wrote for before she was murdered in 2006. Sign this petition and urge the Russian police to thoroughly investigate this case and look into why it took police so long to respond.
Stop Vanity Tattoos for Cats in Russia
Vanity tattoos for cats have become a recent trend in Russia. Cats are sedated for hours at a time and given elaborate tattoos, causing them pain and putting them at risk for infection. Tell Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to outlaw this dangerous new trend.
Stop Russian-Chinese Pipeline from Ruining Sacred Highlands
Russia and China are planning to build a pipeline to carry natural gas from Siberia to China, on a path that would cut through sacred cultural and environmental areas, including one of China’s last undeveloped regions, vital for snow leopards, mountain sheep, and other endangered species. Tell Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and UN Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China, Li Baodong that plans to build the pipeline must be stopped at once.
Don’t Allow St. Petersburg to Outlaw Gay Pride
The city of St. Petersburg, Russia has just approved a bill that would outlaw most LGBT-positive public activities like gay pride parades. This highly discriminatory and hateful bill must not be signed into law by the mayor.
Stop the Trend of Homophobic Laws in Russia
A third region in Russia has now banned gay-rights groups the freedom to assemble. The law wrongly and ignorantly links homosexuality with pedophilia. Urge Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to ban any regional legislation that denies equal rights to gay groups.
Tell Russia To Stop Promoting Homophobia
In St. Petersburg, Russia, a bill is being voted on that would deny freedom of expression to the local LBGT (Lesbian Bisexual Gay Transgender) community. The bill would create penalties for public activities that support LGBT and uses language that equates the LGBT community with pedophiles. Stop this bill from progressing any further.
