Life on Refinery Row
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9940-life-on-refinery-row
Stephanie Elizondo Griest, Earth Island Journal: "For three generations the Foster family has worked for the petrochemical refineries of Corpus Christi, Texas. They've lived there, too, smack in the middle of Refinery Row.... But Jeannine Foster, the family matriarch, worries about the pitfalls of this seemingly symbiotic relationship.... Such is the irony of the deindustrialization era: Dismantling polluting plants might seem like an environmentalist victory, but the demolition itself can be risky for communities caught in the crosswinds."
Mississippi's Only Abortion Clinic at Risk
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9942-mississippis-only-abortion-clinic-at-risk
Campbell Robertson, The New York Times News Service: "The law, which was passed this spring by large margins in the State Legislature, requires all physicians associated with an abortion clinic to have admitting privileges at local hospitals. It is no secret that the physicians who do the majority of the work at the J.W.H.O. do not currently meet this requirement; three out of four of them, including Dr. Parker, do not even live in Mississippi."
When a Woman Goes Out to Struggle: Solutions to Gender and Economic Violence
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9943-when-a-woman-goes-out-to-struggle-solutions-to-gender-and-economic-violence
Beverly Bell, Other Worlds: "Juana Ferrer is a member of the national board of National Confederation of Women Farmers (CONAMUCA) in the Dominican Republic.... One of Juana's priorities in life is to end violence against small-farmer communities, especially the women within them. She and others in Via Campesina, together, are making slow but steady headway. As for physical violence against women, Via Campesina has made an aggressive commitment to eliminate it."
Barrio Defense: How Arizona's Immigrants are Standing Up to SB 1070
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9941-barrio-defense-how-arizonas-immigrants-are-standing-up-to-sb-1070
B. Loewe, YES! Magazine: "Shortly after the 2010 passage of SB 1070, Arizona's notorious immigration bill, 20,000 people gathered in Phoenix for a May Day march to protest the new law. Instead of ending with speakers or a formal program, as political marches often do, organizers broke the crowd into small groups and asked them two questions: How will the new law impact you and your neighbors? What can you do about it? And with that, a new phase of the migrant rights movement, based on an age-old model of community organizing, was born."
Farm Bill Passes US Senate
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9944-farm-bill-passes-us-senate
Rebekah Wilce, PR Watch: "The farm bill S. 3240, passed the U.S. Senate on June 21. The bill, which is renewed approximately every five years, dictates congressional spending on not only farm issues such as crop subsidies, but nutritional programs like food stamps and the supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP), and conservation programs. Total spending controlled by this one bill is in the billions of dollars each year. In 2010, farm bill spending amounted to $96.3 billion, according to the Environmental Working Group."
Election Countdown 2012: Insurers Will Hand Out $1.1 Billion in Rebates to Consumers, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9949-election-countdown-2012
Lambert Strether, Naked Capitalism: "In today's Election Countdown 2012 news: insurers will hand out $1.1 billion in rebates to consumers, Sandusky is sentenced on 45 counts of child sexual abuse, both Obama and Romney stay vague on immigration, and more."
Resilient Response: NYC Youth Join Stop-and-Frisk Debate
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9946-resilient-response-nyc-youth-join-stop-and-frisk-debate
Alina Mogilyanskaya, Indypendent: "The most recent report of the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) on stop-and-frisk indicates that of the 685,724 stops made in New York City in 2011, 42 percent comprised black or Latino youth ages 14-24. These numbers also include [Cory] Smith, who cites having been stopped five or six times in the last several months. For a teenager that has only recently begun actively socializing, the frequency of being stopped has risen dramatically in that time."
Occupy is Not Dead, Occupy Continues to Work for Justice
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9945-occupy-is-not-dead-occupy-continues-to-work-for-justice
Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers, CounterCurrents.org: "The U.S. media has been writing an obituary for Occupy, but in fact Occupy is active all over the country and is just being ignored by the corporate media. This weekly installment of Occupy news highlights families occupying schools in Oakland to prevent their closure, Occupiers across the country working to prevent evictions and foreclosures, Occupiers confronting Jamie Dimon about JPMorgan Chase's foreclosure policies and Occupy SEC asking Dimon some tough questions."
Population Control or Population Justice?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9948-population-control-or-population-justice
Kyung Jin Lee, Making Contact: "Shrinking the world's population is one way to curb global warming, according to some environmentalists. To make that happen, women need to be in control of their own fertility. But those perspectives are very controversial. On this edition: how environmentalism can lead down a slippery slope to population control, and even anti-immigrant policies. Can an emerging movement for 'population justice' save our planet while respecting women's rights?"
