Defending Newborn Rohingyas Rights

© Adnan Abidi/Reauters/Newscom Over the past year, more than 700,000 members of a minority Muslim group known as the Rohingya have escaped a targeted campaign of violence by leaving their ancestral homes in Myanmar and crossing the border into Bangladesh. Most of these people are women and children, who now find themselves in the largest refugee settlement on Earth, facing the dangers of monsoon season and fighting to survive. The government of Bangladesh, meanwhile, appears to be unwilling to register any of the Rohingya babies born in the camps. By depriving these children of their birth registration, Bangladesh’s government is helping to marginalize them before they can even speak. This refusal isn’t just wrong; it’s a violation of human rights law, and it must stop.

A,
As the fires in BC rage on, Nestlé continues to only pay $2.25 for a million litres of BC's water.
Luckily, 17,500 SumOfUs members like you have already signed a petition calling on the new BC government to keep its campaign promise and review water rates for Nestlé and other industrial users.
Will you help us get to 20,000 signatures before we escalate to the next step to our campaign?
As BC's wildfires rage on, Nestlé is still drawing millions of litres of water for $2.25 per litre.
Tell the BC government to honour its promise and review water rates in BC.
Throttling firefighters' data?!?

dirty denim

A,
You just scored a major victory! After years of fighting the dirty denim industry, we just scored a major win: Levi’s announced it will reduce 40% of its greenhouse gas emissions throughout its supply chain by 2025.
This news is huge. For too long, garment companies have ignored the environmental impact of their massive supply chains and overseas factories. Levi’s announcement to reduce emissions across its entire supply chain just set a new standard for the entire fashion industry!
Together with our partners at Stand.earth, you signed petitions, mobilized shareholders, called CEOs—even danced in the streets outside Levi’s stores. Now, your hard work to hold the denim industry accountable for its environmental impact has paid off.
Spread the good news about your people-powered win by sharing this image on Facebook.

A Way Out for Brazil
João Pedro Stédile
Brazil is going through a grave economic, political, social and environmental crisis. Many factors have contributed to the emergence of this crisis, principally the subordination of the economy to finance and international capital that steal from the whole society.
The coup of 2016 [which saw the overthrow of president Dilma Rousseff] was an attempt by the bourgeoisie to save itself from the crisis by placing the weight of it on the working class. To do this, it used its media, judicial and parliamentary power. The plan was to rob public resources, take away rights, subordinate the country completely to international interests, hand over natural resources like petroleum, minerals and water and companies like Petrobras, Electrobras and...

Neoliberal Fascism and the Echoes of History
Henry A. Giroux
The nightmares that have shaped the past and await return slightly just below the surface of American society are poised to wreak havoc on us again. America has reached a distinctive crossroads in which the principles and practices of a fascist past and neoliberal present have merged to produce what Philip Roth once called "the terror of the unforeseen."
Since the 1970s, American society has lived with the curse of neoliberalism, or what can be called the latest and most extreme stage of predatory capitalism. As part of a broader comprehensive design, neoliberalism’s overriding goal is to consolidate power in the hands of the financial elite. As a mode of rationality, it functions pedagogically...

Mexico’s Left Turn?:
Mexico’s Election and Beyond in the Trump Era
Despite fierce opposition from big business and the media, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) was elected by an overwhelming majority as President of México on July 1 and has won majorities in both houses of Congress. How did this rejection of the major parties come about? Is he a “leftist,” or “populist” as widely purported in the North American press? What kind of change can be expected? How might this affect the future of NAFTA and the immigration crisis? What obstacles will the new government face?
Moderated by: Paloma Villegas is a researcher, teacher and artist who works at the intersection between migration, citizenship, race, and gender.
