Michael Corcoran, Truthout: The National Football League again enters a sea=
son mired in litigation and scandal. Recently, it was a federal judge - rat=

ns-for-its-ecuadorian-catastrophe=20
David Ray Griffin, Clarity Press: Like ExxonMobil, Chevron has a very long =

-the-gary-convention-and-electoral-politics=20
Sean Posey, The Hampton Institute: Could Black Lives Matter attempt to crea=

nd the later formation of the National Black Independent Political Party.

Lucy Hovil, openDemocracy: While other countries are hosting millions of re=

ousand African asylum seekers already in the country. In doing so, Israel i=
s putting lives in danger and is ultimately contributing to the refugee cri=

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32982-fiscal-austerity-may-jeopardize-br=
azil-s-poverty-alleviation-program=20
Fab=C3=ADola Ortiz, Inter Press Service: While it still a long way to go to=
wards promoting inclusive and sustainable growth, Brazil has succeeded in l=
ifting 36 million people out of extreme poverty over the past 12 years. How=

ting these achievements in peril.=20
Could These Two Environmental Challenges Be the Answer to Each Other?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32981-could-these-two-environmental-chal=
lenges-be-the-answer-to-each-other=20
Gabriella Mulligan, Ensia: Sub-Saharan Africa suffers from, and often epito=

asing attention. The seed of an idea is beginning to sprout that the two co=
uld provide solutions to each other.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32983-a-racist-wake-up-call=20
John Kiriakou, OtherWords: This isn't about how teachers should respond whe=
n their students make clocks. It's about the fact that racism is still part=
of life in the United States. Many Americans like to think of themselves a=
s belonging to a postracial society, but we don't.
