Further consolidation of our food system is bad news It’s true, the “Big 6” pesticide and biotech corporations are angling for even more control of our food system.
First Dow and DuPont announced their engagement late last year, then Syngenta agreed to a bid from ChemChina — and now Monsanto is looking to join forces with Bayer (or maybe BASF).
These mega mergers are bad news for all of us — and especially for farmers.

Hey Global Citizen,I’m generally a pretty happy person. But a few things make me angry in this world - and one of them is seeing myself or my female friends discriminated against because of gender.
It’s shocking that it’s 2016, and yet half a billion women can’t read. Girls account for 75% of all new HIV infections, and more than 150 countries still have laws that differentiate between men and women. Today, 63 million...

Toronto Teach-In Poses Climate Justice Alternative
John Riddell
The People's Climate Plan Teach-in, held in Toronto June 4, took great strides forward in presenting a forceful alternative to the inadequate and deceptive climate action proposals of Canada's federal government. In the opening session, five leading climate activists presented a coherent, unified climate justice strategy, proposing effective action to save the world from climate disaster interlocked with practical measures to assist working people and the poor who are the first victims of global warming. Displayed in the meeting, held in the University of Toronto, were the banners: "Pipelines = Climate Change"; "Stop Line 9"; and (in French) "Leave Fossil Fuels in the Ground."

A Leap Toward Radical Politics?
The Leap Manifesto is, in a way, Canada's version of the burst of Left and socialist energies that have come with the Bernie Sanders campaign in the Democratic Party in the U.S. and the Jeremy Corbyn leadership win in the Labour Party in Britain. As with these, the explosion of popular interest reflects general disquiet about the limits of recent protests demanding changes from the state but having no strategy to transform it, on the one hand; and disappointments with electoral politics and social democratic parties that only seem to reinforce neoliberalism, on the other.
