HELP TO SAVE THE WHALE WITH ONE SIMPLE CLICK.

In one week, the International Whaling Commission will hold its final vote on a proposal to legalize commercial whale hunting for the first time in a generation.

Europe and Latin America, could abstain... or even support the proposal. The vote could go either way.Citizen pressure is our best hope -- and it's working. The whaling lobby expected to win easily, but thanks to actions like ours, champions of the ban are standing strong. It was an explosive worldwide social movement in the 1980s that led to the commercial whaling ban we're now protecting.

Now civil society access to the talks is being limited, so this powerful petition campaign is a vital channel of worldwide pressure in the final 72 hours of negotiations. Let's deliver 1 million signatures inside the talks before it's too late! -- sign now and spread the word:
