ictoria Law
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/31461-women-s-prisons-as-sit=
es-of-resistance-an-interview-with-victoria-law=20
Maya Schenwar, Truthout: Too often, organizing work done by incarcerated wo=
men goes wholly unrecognized. In this interview, author Victoria Law shares=
stories of little-known actions, insights into what constitutes "activism,=
" and ways in which individual acts of resistance are building toward a tra=
nsformational new reality.

ce
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31596-imf-and-germany-are-hell-bent-on-f=
inishing-off-even-a-moderate-left-in-greece=20
C.J. Polychroniou, Truthout: Europe's neoliberal elite wants to finish off =
Greece's Syriza-led government to send a message to all potential eurozone =
"troublemakers" daring to challenge the austerity-based orthodoxy of the ne=
w Rome.
For Families of People Living With Mental Illness, Police "Support" Is Not =
the Solution
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31600-for-families-of-the-mentally-il=
l-police-support-is-not-the-solution=20
Martin Xavi Macias, Truthout: "My family's story is a cautionary tale about=
police, the court system and the people we love who live with mental illne=
ss. There is an obvious lack of support services for people living with phy=
sical and cognitive disabilities, especially when they are in crisis."
Leave No One Behind: Gay Marriage, Obergefell v. Hodges and the March Forwa=
rd
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31613-leave-no-one-behind-gay-marriag=
e-obergefell-v-hodges-and-the-march-forward=20
Kelly Hayes, Transformative Spaces: Following the Supreme Court's historic =
decision on marriage equality, any celebration of this moment must be part =
of a march forward - one where we are willing to hold each other accountabl=
e in the pursuit of real justice and safety for those who will not benefit =
from this victory.
The Disparate Impact of Climate Change
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31614-the-disparate-impact-of-climate=
-change=20
Sheila Suess Kennedy, Inequality.org: The term "privilege" is usually conne=
cted to a descriptor like "white" or "male," but we might also consider wha=
t privilege means in the context of global climate change. The pope's new e=
ncyclical illuminates disparate impact.
Voting Laws Roundup 2015
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31587-voting-laws-roundup-2015=20
Staff, Brennan Center for Justice: For the third year in a row, bills to ex=
pand voters' access to the ballot box outpace those to restrict voting, bot=
h in terms of introduction and enactment. However, some recent restrictive =
legislation continues to make it harder for citizens to participate.
Lawmakers Are Using Trade Rules to Blacklist Critics of Israel
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31616-lawmakers-are-using-trade-rules=
-to-blacklist-critics-of-israel=20
Rachel Ida Buff, Foreign Policy in Focus: The fast-track Trade Promotion Au=
thority bill includes language prohibiting "state-sponsored unsanctioned fo=
reign boycotts against Israel or compliance with the Arab League Boycott of=
Israel by prospective trading partners." Many within the Boycott, Divestme=
nt and Sanctions (BDS) movement feel targeted.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31615-more-accusations-flow-over-guatema=
la-s-perez-molina-when-will-it-end=20
Eliza Davis, Council on Hemispheric Affairs: The people of Guatemala have b=
egun to rally against their government, due to presidential corruption and =
human rights violations, but the Obama administration needs to consider the=
implications of sending money to P=C3=A9rez Molina's government.
Another Industry-Backed Effort to Delay Crucial Safeguards and Undermine th=
e Regulatory Process
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31618-another-industry-backed-effort-=
to-delay-crucial-safeguards-and-undermine-the-regulatory-process=20
Tania Matsuoka, Center for Effective Government: Earlier this year, Sen. Mi=
ke Rounds (R-South Dakota) quietly introduced a resolution that would injec=
t Congress into the federal regulatory review process and slam the brakes o=
n a rulemaking system that is already fraught with delays that put people's=
lives and health at risk.
Peru's Tia Maria Mining Conflict: Another Mega Imposition
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31619-peru-s-tia-maria-mining-conflict-a=
nother-mega-imposition=20
Lynda Sullivan, Upside Down World: Peru has been rocked once again by a soc=
ial conflict which pits the government, looking out for the economic intere=
sts of a multinational corporation, against its people. Affected communitie=
s have been on an indefinite strike since March, and the president has call=
ed a state of emergency.
How Would Francis Invest?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31617-how-would-francis-invest=20
Emily Schwartz Greco, OtherWords: "Even if you don't care about what the po=
pe says about the environment or anything else, there's no basis for believ=
ing in the sanctity of fossil fuel companies. I've learned firsthand that g=
oing fossil-free can yield good returns, and it's not as hard as you might =
think."
This week in Speakout: Owen McCormack revisits the Sykes-Picot Agreement at=
