The Climate Coalition spans over 100 organisations, from environment and development charities to unions, faith, community and women's groups.
Check them out below, or use the drop down menu to filter by organisation type.
Medsin is a student network and registered charity tackling global and local health inequalities through education, advocacy and community action.
We have over 30 branches in universities across the UK, many nationally run activities and several national working groups alongside collaborating with numerous external partner organisations both nationally and internationally.
National Union of Students
NUS (National Union of Students) is a voluntary membership organisation which makes a real difference to the lives of students and its member students' unions. We are a confederation of 600 students' unions, amounting to more than 95 per cent of all higher and further education unions in the UK. Through our member students' unions, we represent the interests of more than seven million students.
New Environmentalist
We are non-profit society that campaigns on a wide range of environmental issues and offers advice to people volunteering in conservation projects around the world. We are London based however we work closely with volunteers and partners from South America to Eastern Europe, in areas that we believe have the best potential for eco-tourism.
North East Call to Action on Poverty
North East CALL TO ACTION ('NE-CAP') is one of the country's leading
regional coalitions campaigning on global poverty and climate change.
We have representatives in most North East constituencies and hope to soon secure complete coverage. All our officers are NGO staff or voluntary
representatives and we seek to mobilise and coordinate support for
their campaigning. We arranged coaches from every city,
town and village in the NE (well, almost!) to London for The Wave in 2009.
Northfield Ecocentre
Northfield Ecocentre is a Midlands based charity offering practical, inspiring ideas and advice on how to green up your lifestyle. We run a wide range of activities, workshops and events across a variety of themes including energy saving, home energy makeovers, organic gardening, sustainable transport, tree planting, recycling and much more.
One World UK
The OneClimate team focuses on supporting the climate movement, as an essential component of the work of the OneWorld Group.
We are focusing our role more sharply now on pioneering media tools to support the climate movement. And that's what OneClimate is. We are innovating new tools and platforms that make it easier for us all to share information, actions and experiences with one another, to help us hang in there and keep moving forward.
One World Week
One World Week offers opportunities for people and organisations to come together at local events to explore how they can work together to build a more just, peaceful and sustainable world.
OWW, working with partner organisations, mobilises local volunteers to organise events where people of diverse backgrounds can: acknowledge our interdependence; raise awareness of global inequalities and injustice and inspire action to increase equality, justice and sustainability, locally and globally. One World Week is around United Nations Day (24 October) but activity can take place at any time. OWW's website offers opportunities to participate in SCC members' campaigns.
Operation Noah
Operation Noah is an ecumenical Christian charity providing leadership, focus and inspiration in response to the growing threat of catastrophic climate change. Our current campaign Bright Now: towards fossil free Churches calls on the Churches and Christian community in the UK to disinvest from companies involved in the extraction of fossil fuels.
We also work collaboratively with other Christian and faith groups active on climate change and provide resources and support to equip churches to respond to climate change.
Oxfam GB
Oxfam is a global movement of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable. It's an injustice which can, and must, be overcome. We fight poverty at its roots, with simple, smart solutions. When injustice causes poverty, we stand against it. When disasters hit, we're ready around the clock to save and protect people, staying long after, leaving life better than before.
PeaceChild International
Peace Child International empowers young people to inform themselves and then take action, to be the change they want to see in the world.

"After getting the best matching photos, it all came together. Good and timely help from customer service and designer. Product quality and timeliness exceeded our expectation."
"Ordered these for our 10 year anniversary dinner. The orange is perfect & look the same as it does in the photo. Love it & so did our guests."
"I rarely post reviews, but had to for this invitation because it turned out beautifully. We are throwing a surprise 50th for my in-laws and this is the perfect combo of retro/sophistication. They imported the (50 year old) photo into the invite with excellent quality. We used the pearl white shimmer paper/rounded edges design and it looked very elegant. Also, the staff was extremely helpful when we called for assistance and changed our minds a few times. And the gilded gold envelopes match perfectly. Well worth the very reasonable price!"
"I am very pleased with the product, it is fairly easy to modify for individual use. I found that not all the changes that I made showed up on the image I was looking at so it took a few times to get the image right for my use. Going back a step was not always successful it frequently took me back to the beginning. The top of the line card stock was what I used and I was very happy with the quality. Printing and shipping was quick and efficient. The gold envelopes are not easy to write on, it took me several tries to find a pen that would show up. I did not receive any extra envelopes for any errors!"
"Pleased with the overall product. The paper stock we selected was not what we may have chosen had we known how it turned out. Would consider using them again."

In 2011, there were 25.3 million Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals residing in the United States, or roughly 9 percent of the nation's population ages 5 and older. Although most LEP individuals were foreign born, nearly one-fifth of this population was native born, about three-quarters of whom were children ages 5 to 17. This article provides a demographic and socioeconomic profile of LEP individuals residing in the United States, including the population's size, geographic distribution, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
On June 27, the U.S. Senate passed legislation to overhaul the U.S. immigration system on a scale not seen in decades. Despite this major breakthrough, it is clear that immigration reform faces an uphill battle in the House of Representatives, where the dynamics are much different than in the Senate. This article assesses the prospects for immigration reform in the House, explores provisions of the Senate bill, the implications for U.S. immigration policy of the Supreme Court's recent ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act, and more.
The region encompassing Central and Eastern Europe as well as the former Soviet Union is the source of a sizeable share of international migrants today, yet many of these countries' development efforts do not benefit from strong diaspora ties.
As the U.S. Senate continues its debate over a bill to overhaul the nation's immigration system, the fiscal impacts associated with enactment of such legislation have emerged as a divisive issue. Following the release of an official congressional cost estimate on Tuesday, this article examines the crucial question of how immigrants' contributions to the tax base compare to the public benefits they would receive under S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013.
Immigrants from the Philippines made up 4.5 percent of the 40.4 million immigrants in the United States in 2011. Although this population—1.8 million strong in 2011—has grown 17 times its size since 1960, its share among Asian immigrants overall has decreased since that year. This article examines the latest data on Filipino immigrants in the United States, including population size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
This discussion focuses on the MPI report, "Executive Action on Immigration: Six Ways to Make the System Work Better," which outlines administrative actions that can be implemented to improve the immigration system.
287(g) programs have surged into the public consciousness in recent years. Now operating in 72 jurisdictions, the 287(g) program authorizes state and local law enforcement officers to screen people for immigration status, issue detainers to hold unauthorized immigrants on immigration violations, and begin the process of their removal from the United States.
In a report by MPI's Labor Markets Initiative, noted economist and Georgetown University Public Policy Institute Professor Harry J. Holzer examines the economic reasoning and research on these questions and looks at the policy options that shape the impact of less-skilled immigration on the economy. The discussion is on what policy reform would best serve native-born American workers, consumers, and employers, as well as the overall U.S. economy.
Over the past year, MPI has partnered with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to examine how diasporas contribute to – or detract from - development efforts in their countries of origin. MPI and USAID have published an edited volume of the research. Please join us for the release of the book where speakers will discuss new thinking on the role of diaspora engagement in U.S. foreign and development policy.
Commissioner Bersin details his agenda for his agency and discusses illegal immigration, border enforcement, the impact to the economy on migration flows, the future of the Secure Border Initiative, drug trafficking, and other topics in this wide-ranging conversation with MPI Senior Fellow Doris Meissner and the audience.

This is the latest in NCIIP's language access webinar series exploring the policy and program implementation imperatives for government and community agencies serving Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations.
In this webinar, experts discuss barriers immigrant and LEP individuals face in accessing the WIA system, how a revitalized WIA could address these barriers, and the extent to which the current Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee's WIA reauthorization proposal addresses these barriers.
With the ten year anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks approaching, the Migration Policy Institute held a conference call to discuss the most significant changes that have occurred in the immigration arena in the decade since the attacks.
Proactive Engagement: Two Strategies for Providing Language Access in Workforce Development Services
This interactive language access webinar, one in a series offered by the Migration Policy Institute's National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy, examines how New York and Illinois have broken down some of these barriers to proactively engage LEP communities to obtain workforce services.

Lighting Incentives
Lighting plays an important role in creating a work environment that's both pleasant and productive and it's a big part of your electric bill. That's why it pays to install high-efficiency lighting systems. You'll lower your operating costs while maintaining adequate lighting levels. New efficient lighting technologies provide direct or indirect lighting. Best of all, they use up to 30 percent less energy than standard fluorescent lighting equipment. That can mean energy savings and significantly lower operating costs.
Lighting Technologies: Making the Right Choice
Upgrading your light system is a great way to save energy and reduce operating costs. It's important to understand various lighting technologies and the differences in performance.

The nice thing about Hatteras in the spring is the variety of sessions you get. One day we were riding at Kite Point, the next day in the slick, and finally some chunky waves in the ocean. With a giant cold front wreaking havoc inland, we were feeling the SE juice. Nate, Elkus, Sensi, Craig, and I all launched our LF Envys from ramp 27 and headed out into the rather large surf.
The waves were really fun, big and slabby, its crazy how the water moves out here in the ocean. I had some really fun waves and took some heavy ones on the head. The ocean here certainly keeps you on your toes. With the forecast looking all time for the next week, there will be a ton more coming out of The Banks!

Definition | Reasons for Procedure | Possible Complications | What to Expect | Call Your Doctor
Urethral suspension is a surgery to correct stress incontinence in women.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The goal of this surgery is to place the urethra and bladder back into the correct position. This will stop the uncontrolled leaking of urine.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a urethral suspension, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Your doctor will try to find out why you are leaking urine through:
Leading up to surgery:
You may receive a spinal anesthetic to numb your lower body. General anesthesia may also be used, in which case you will be asleep.
This procedure is done through the vagina. There are no visible cuts made in the skin. Special surgical tools will be passed up through the vagina. These tools will be used to place sutures near the bottom of the bladder. The threads will then be tied to the abdominal wall or the pelvic bone. The thread will pull the bladder back into its normal position. The threads will be left in place to continue to support the bladder.
After surgery, you will be monitored in a recovery room. You will most likely have a catheter in place to drain your urine.
1-1.5 hours
Anesthesia will block pain during the surgery. After surgery, you may experience some pain or soreness. You will be given pain medication to relieve the discomfort.
You will most likely be sent home the same day.
At first, your urine may look bloody. This will resolve over time.
When you are able to empty your bladder completely, the catheter will be removed. You may be asked to get up and walk around.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
Certain steps will allow healing to take place. General steps include:
To help ensure a smooth recovery, follow your doctor's instructions.

Allen Lessels on Motor Sports: Everything runs through Big 3
Perhaps Ryan Newman and Jeff Gordon will take advantage of their up-front starting spots and dominate things this afternoon in the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and squeeze themselves squarely into the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship mix.
Or might it be Kevin Harvick or Carl Edwards, who yet to have a say in this 2013 Chase?
They have been the class of the Sprint Cup series all season, they sit in the top three in points going into this afternoon's race and the chances are at least decent that one of them will succeed Brad Keselowski as champion.
Kenseth has won six, including last week's Chase opener at Chicagoland Speedway. Johnson and Bush have won four each.
"Someone is going to have to show me more than those three have," said 1999 champion and ESPN analyst Dale Jarrett. "They've separated themselves throughout the year."
"He was showing some signs of maybe he is human," Bowyer said during a promotional appearance at Swenson Granite's quarry in Concord before the Richmond race. "A month ago, I was thinking the other, that maybe he was Superman or something."
He may not have been Superman, but he re-established himself as one of the guys to beat, if there had been any doubt about that.
He's worried not that his last win came at Daytona on July 6.
"When you get to the Chase, you can't look back at the regular season," Johnson said. "It's a 10-race stretch of its own. With that in mind, I haven't won in a week. I finished fifth and had a shot to win last week. . . . So, blinders on, focus on the No. 48."
Kenseth has made the transition to his new team appear seamless and has already hit a career-high in wins.
"Obviously they were having a lot of success. . . .Certainly I feel like I've had things to add, but I've really tried to fit into their system and then go from there."
"He's had a good sense this year of adding to our program and knowing what to add," Busch said.
Last year, Busch got edged out of the Chase in the last race at Richmond.
"As painful as last year was I think it served Kyle well, as a person and as a driver," Jarrett said. "I see a change in him. Whether it's this sport or another, sometimes you have to be knocked down to get your focus right."Blinders on.

Phoronix: AMD Publishes "Southern Islands" ISA Documentation
AMD has published their instruction set architecture (ISA) documentation for the "Southern Islands" graphics processors that are used by their Radeon HD 7000 series products...
Thank you AMD!!!
Too bad these weren't released ahead of the release.
Now released one year after the release, then its going to take at least a year until implemented.
So support will be able two years after release, and by then there are already new cards out on the market.
Hopefully they will be faster out with Sea Islands documentation.
Thank you Mr Bridgman!
We know you have spent a lot of your time and effort on making all of this happen, thank you very much!
Yes, thanks but I don't have the card... yet.
Maybe in a year or so
Thank you AMD. Such initiatives are going to be the key to the company's long-term success.

Situation in Syria
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
On August 30, 2013, Duckworth wrote a response to the situation in Syria that appeared on the Daily Kos.[9] In the article she said, "Syria is undergoing a humanitarian crisis. While the United States cannot stand by as innocent civilians are being massacred, it's my responsibility as a Member of Congress to make sure we don't commit resources, the most precious of which are our men and women in uniform, with no comprehensive plan for our involvement.
While I support the President's authority to initiate action since he was elected by this nation and in light of the divisiveness in Congress today, I will have tough questions for the Administration should they intervene prior to Congressional approval.
In the days ahead I will be seeking more information from our military and intelligence communities. But until I feel it's imperative to our national security, I will not support preemptive intervention in Syria.
America shouldn't bear the burden unilaterally, especially since none of our allies, including those in the region, have committed to action.
It's military families like mine that are the first to bleed when our nation makes this kind of commitment. It's my obligation to make sure our government honors our troops willingness to sacrifice when we make such a decision."[9]
On September 10, 2013, Duckworth expressed deep skepticism about the prospect of the U.S. conducting limited missile strikes against Syria after its apparent deadly use of chemical weapons.[10]
Duckworth, in answer to a reporter's question, said she was "very skeptical" that military intervention would be limited.[10]
"I've heard the discussion before that this is going to be a limited attack and it will be done in a short amount of time," she said. "War is messy. War is never that simple."[10]
DHS Appropriations
Duckworth voted in favor of HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 and was largely along party lines.[11]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Duckworth voted in favor of House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[11]
Duckworth voted in favor of HR 624 - the CISPA (2013). The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities.[12] The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[11]
Duckworth voted in support of HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[11]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[13] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[14] Duckworth voted against the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[15]
The shutdown finally ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funds the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[16] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Duckworth voted for HR 2775.[17]
Immigration reform bill
On her website in August 2013, Duckworth posted an appeal to voters to add their names to a petition to urge House action on immigration reform.[18][19].
In her appeal she said, "I am a daughter of the American Revolution and my mom is an immigrant who proudly became a citizen in her 50s. Since coming to America, she has watched her two children serve in our nation's military and seen me elected to the United States Congress. So many of the families in my district have stories like my mom's, about immigrants who moved here to be reunited with family or to provide a better life for their children. Like my mom, they wish to become full citizens of the country they love.
That's why I'm teaming up with my neighboring members of Congress, Brad Schneider and Bill Foster, who also represent districts with large numbers of immigrants, to advocate for an immigration system that works for our constituents.
While the Senate has passed comprehensive legislation, John Boehner and the GOP House leadership want to divide up immigration into several different bills rather than agree on one comprehensive solution. That won't work for the people in my district. To fix our broken immigration system, we need a solution that secures our border and provides a pathway to citizenship for those who hope to pursue the American Dream.
While we're in our districts this month, Brad, Bill and I have held a joint press conference to build support for comprehensive reform. We're also talking with our constituents about what reform would mean for them."[19]
Morton Memos Prohibition
Duckworth voted against House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States. The vote largely followed party lines.[11]
Health Care Reform Rules
Duckworth voted against House Amendment 450 - Requires Congressional Approval for Any Rules Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amendment was adopted by the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 227-185. The amendment requires all changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be approved by Congress before taking effect. The vote was largely along party lines.[11]
Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act
Duckworth voted against HR 2009 - Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act of 2013. The bill passed through the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 232-185. The bill would prevent the IRS and Treasury Secretary from enforcing the powers provided to them in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The vote largely followed party lines.[11]
Social issues
Amash amendment
Duckworth voted against House Amendment 413 - Prohibits the National Security Agency from Collecting Records Under the Patriot Act. The amendment failed on July 4, 2013, by a vote of 205-217. The amendment would have prohibited the collection of records by the National Security Agency under the Patriot Act. Both parties were split on the vote.[11]
Hawaii's 1st Congressional District
Duckworth campaigned in November 2013 for state Representative Mark Takai in his bid for the 1st District seat.[20]
"I'm standing with Mark Takai today because he offers two things this Congress is lacking – courage and the ability to get things done," Duckworth said. "Mark has served with me in uniform in the Middle East, and in his two decades in the Hawaii State House he's stood up for our fellow vets, authored the state's College Savings Program and led initiatives to protect retirement security and to create a new clean energy economy."[20]
Takai said he was "proud and honored" to be endorsed by Duckworth, "a true American hero."[20]
"I can't wait to stand side-by-side with Tammy Duckworth in Congress to protect our fellow vets, and work together on the things we both care passionately about like making college more affordable, creating new clean energy jobs and ensuring our seniors are not asked to pay more because the wealthiest Americans are not paying their fair share," Takai said.[20]
Shaming of witness for claiming veterans disability
Rep. Duckworth Deplores Witness for Claiming Veterans Disability on June 26, 2013 |
In a House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing on June 26, 2013, Duckworth questioned and gave an earful to businessman Braulio Castillo.[21] Castillo broke his foot in a prep school injury nearly three decades ago at the U.S. Military Preparatory School, which he attended for nine months before playing football in college. He owns a technology business certified as a service-disabled, veteran-owned company eligible for government set aside contracts.[21]
The hearing came after months of investigation by a House probe into whether Castillo's company won IRS contracts thanks, in part, to help from a top contracting official and friend inside the IRS named Greg Roseman, who pleaded the Fifth Amendment when called to testify.[22]
Castillo's VA doctors gave him a 30 percent disabled rating even though he never saw combat, about which Duckworth was not pleased as her own injuries sustained were only a 20 percent disabled rating.[21]
Before entering politics, Duckworth was a helicopter pilot in the Army.[21] In November 2004, the Black Hawk she was flying was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade and as a result she lost both legs, and nearly lost her right arm.[21] After returning to the U.S. and undergoing rehab, she became director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs and later assistant secretary in the federal Department of Veterans Affairs.[21]
Campaign themes
According to Duckworth's website, her campaign themes included:
- Economy: "Small businesses are critical to the success of our economy. Without the ingenuity and determination that small businesses exhibit everyday in the 8th District, our economy could not thrive."
- Education: "Education is a valuable resource that we need to invest in now to bolster our economic future. We need to invest in our public schools to make them better and more competitive."
- Energy: "We need to think creatively about how to build an economy that is less dependent on foreign oil and instead champions American clean energy innovations. We need to build the foundation for a clean energy economy."[23]
