t r u t h o u t | Is it really that time of year already?
It may just be the busy pace here at Truthout, but to many of us it seems 2=
013 has sped by so far, lurching from one crisis to another created by irre=
sponsible politicians and fueled by a lazy mainstream media.
The holidays will soon be here, and we know it can be a challenge to find g=
its for the people you know who care about progressive ideas and independen=
t thinking.
From Amy Berg's riveting documentary film about injustice in the case of th=
e "Memphis 3," to Project Censored's latest collection of under-reported st=
ories, to the ever-popular Peace Calendar, you can order books, films and m=
ore from Truthout - for friends, family or yourself!
Be sure to check out some of the other Progressive Picks still available fr=
om Truthout, too.
Sincerely,
The Truthout Team

West of Memphis
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=3D72052
Directed by Amy Berg=20
Berg's film is a searing indictment of prosecution misconduct in the convic=
tion of three poor white teenagers for the 1993 murders of three young boys=
. Jessie Misskelley, Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin, vulnerable to prosecu=
tion because they stereotyped as so-called "white trash," spent 18 years in=
prison. "West of Memphis" makes the case for their innocence, and shows ho=
w their conviction served the interests of those within the justice system,=
but not justice.=20
2014 Peace Calendar: We Protect What We Love
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=3D71812
From Syracuse Cultural Workers
A long-time favorite with Truthout readers, each month of the Peace Calenda=
r from Syracuse Cultural Workers illustrates a different but vitally import=
ant issue, from photos of radically sustainable dwellings built from natura=
lly available resources and recycled materials, to artwork about the prison=
industrial complex by the incarcerated Kevin Rashid Johnson. Filled with i=
nformative annotations and including holidays for many faiths, the 2014 Pea=
ce Calendar is an ideal holiday gift.=20
The Right to Stay Home: How US Policy Drives Mexican Migration
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=3D71582
By David Bacon=20
People across Mexico are being forced into migration by free trade agreemen=
ts and economic policies that exacerbate and reinforce extreme wealth dispa=
rities. Yet when they migrate to the United States, they must grapple with =
criminalization, low wages, and exploitation. In "The Right to Stay Home," =
journalist David Bacon tells the story of the growing resistance of Mexican=
communities.=20
=20
Censored 2014
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=3D72192
Edited by Mickey Huff and Andy Lee Roth
Although many of the stories listed here emphasize "what's wrong" in the wo=
rld today, the latest collection by Project Censored is also a celebration =
and appreciation of work done by independent reporters and news organizatio=
ns - from Bel=C3=A9n Fernandez on how Monsanto creates debt that has led to=
mass suicides in India, to Truthout's own Mike Ludwig reporting on the ext=
ent and causes of hunger in the US.=20
