A letter from Michael MooreSHARE
Many of you have contacted me wanting to know how you can help the people of Flint with the two-year long tragedy of drinking water contaminated by the radical decisions made by the Governor of Michigan. The offer is much appreciated by those who are suffering through this and who have not drank a glass of unpoisoned water since April of 2014.
Unfortunately, the honest answer to your offer of help is, sadly, you can’t.
You can’t help.
The reason you can’t help is that you cannot reverse the irreversible brain damage that has been inflicted upon every single child in Flint. The damage is permanent. There is no medicine you can send, no doctor or scientist who has any way to undo the harm done to thousands of babies, toddlers and children (not to mention their parents). They are ruined for life, and someone needs to tell you the truth about that. They will, forever, suffer from various neurological impediments, their IQs will be lowered by at least 20 points, they will not do as well in school and, by the time they reach adolescence, they will exhibit various behavioral problems that will land a number of them in trouble, and some of them in jail.

Hey PAOV,It’s International Development Week across Canada and you can make a difference. Children need your help. Girls need your help. We need your help.
The world has just woken up to a crisis that has pushed 65 million children - over half of them girls - out of school because of conflicts and disasters.
Sign our petition calling for more funding for education in emergencies, and we'll use it to force leaders to step up at the World Humanitarian Summit in May.

What You Need to Know About the Oil Price War
Eric Ruder
The dramatic crash in the price of oil is rewiring the circuits of global capitalism by creating enormous volatility in the world's stock exchanges, hammering banks that made billions of dollars in loans to energy firms, and ravaging the budgets of the world's largest oil-producing countries. Today, oil is trading at around $30 a barrel -- roughly 75 per cent below its price of $114 a barrel in the summer of 2014 -- that is, a year and a half ago. The collapse has been as sharp as it has been sudden, confounding economic analysts, energy producers and global financial centers.

How the broad climate movement has failed us
James Jordan
It has been two months since the UN climate summit in Paris, aka COP 21. One might expect the kind of ebb and flow we often see in popular movements. Interest in climate issues, the cause of the day during the summit, might be expected to wane and move to the back burner of public discourse until another development pushes it forward again.
However, climate change is fundamentally different. It is going to get worse -- we will be getting slapped in the face with this one for a long, long time, even under the best scenarios. Only a few weeks after COP 21, the...
