t r u t h o u t | "The choice you are making today is what side are you on."
-Tim DeChristopher
There are many crucial battles being fought in America today.
There's the fight over education, in which well-funded apostles of education "reform" are trying to corporatize the classroom. As Henry Giroux argues in his new book, this battle is part of a larger "war on youth," which increasingly robs all but the most economically and socially privileged young people of options and criminalizes their very existence.
There's the battle against climate change and the fossil fuel industries, which is exemplified by the story of Tim DeChristopher, a.k.a. "bidder #70" - the number under which he registered and disrupted an oil and gas lease auction. (For this act of heroism, he was sentenced to two years in federal prison, but his actions have inspired a generation of climate justice activists.)
And there's the battle many Americans are fighting for information about and control over the food they eat.
You can learn about all these struggles and more, in Truthout's latest Progressive Picks.

America's Education Deficit and the War on Youth
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=68074
By Henry A. Giroux
There is a pernicious gap in the United States between ruling financial and corporate elites and the rest of society. In his new book, Henry Giroux argues that gap has intensified an anti-intellectual and authoritarian political and cultural landscape. Most impacted are young people, especially in the working class, who are deprived of a decent education, denied economic opportunities, and targeted by state violence.
Bidder 70
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=66994
Directed by Beth and George Gage
"Bidder 70" tells the story of Tim DeChristopher's extraordinary, ingenious and effective act of civil disobedience demanding government and industry accountability. As a college student in 2008, DeChristopher disrupted an auction to protect thousands of acres of pristine Utah land slated for oil and gas leases. For this act of heroism, he was sentenced to two years in federal prison. This remarkable movie traces DeChristopher's journey from college student to incarcerated felon and climate justice leader.
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Food Rights
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=68343
By David E. Gumpert
Do Americans have the right to privately obtain the foods of their choice from farmers, neighbors, and local producers? This book details the fight between the food rights movement trying to preserve the freedom of small farms, and public-health and agriculture regulators who argue that, all food, no matter the source, must be closely regulated, and even barred, if it fails to meet certain standards.
Mom & Me & Mom
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=67573
By Maya Angelou
The latest memoir from author and poet Maya Angelou focuses on her relationship with the mother whom she first called 'Lady' rather than 'Mom.' Raised by her grandmother for many of her early years, Angelou was able to reconnect with her mother later in life. The Boston Globe describes "Mom & Me & Mom" as "a superb account of reconciliation, forgiveness, and survival."
All of these Progressive Picks come highly recommended for Truthout readers and your friends and family.
To order by phone, call (213) 489-1971 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time.
Sincerely,
The Truthout Team
