Fighting a Low-Intensity War, Indigenous Tupinamba Recover Their Land in Brazil
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30195-fighting-a-low-intensity-war-indigenous-tupinamba-recover-their-land-in-brazil
Santiago Navarro F., Renata Bessi and translated by Miriam Taylor, Truthout: While Brazilian state forces were sent to Tupinamba territories to guarantee law and order, the indigenous people became determined to do something the government refused: demarcate the borders of indigenous land. After self-demarcation, the Tupinamba reclaimed and occupied their territory.
Jordan Downs: Toxic Cleanups Underway, but Many Fear It's Too Little, Too Late
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30186-jordan-downs-toxic-cleanups-underway-but-many-fear-it-s-too-little-too-late
Daniel Ross, Truthout: Jordan Downs, a subsidized housing project in Watts, Los Angeles, sits in one of the most heavily polluted regions in California. Although three separate toxic cleanups in and around Jordan Downs are underway, environmentalists, community advocates and residents fear the worst of the damage has already been done.
Diversifying the Environmental Movement Isn't Enough
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30185-diversifying-the-environmental-movement-isn-t-enough
Olivia Aguilar, Truthout: Recent calls to diversify the environmental movement often ignore the racist complexities associated with the history of the movement. Environmentalists don't have a diversity problem, they have an identity problem. And it's rooted in a racist history and unchecked biases.
A Trade Rule That Makes It Illegal to Favor Local Business? Leak Shows TPP Would Do That and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30250-a-trade-rule-that-makes-it-illegal-to-favor-local-business-newest-leak-shows-tpp-would-do-that-and-more
David Korten, YES! Magazine: A leaked document substantiates claims by opponents that the Trans-Pacific Partnership is a corporate-rights agreement designed to facilitate the export of US jobs, allow corporations to sue governments for enacting labor and environmental protections and make it illegal for governments to favor local businesses.
Reparations in Chicago: The Homestretch
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30249-reparations-in-chicago-the-homestretch
Kelly Hayes, Transformative Spaces: Tuesday was a historic day in Chicago. The movement for reparations for survivors of police torture is on the brink of a tremendous victory, as Chicago's City Council now stands ready to pass the first legislation in US history that provides reparations for police violence.
What Did Democrats Win in the Cardin Compromise on the Corker Bill?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30254-what-did-democrats-win-in-the-cardin-compromise-on-the-corker-bill
Robert Naiman, Truthout: Democrats supported the amended Corker bill not because they think the bill is perfect, but because the "coach blew the whistle on the play." You don't want to be like a soldier who thinks he's still fighting a war after his government has already signed a deal.
Khalil Muhammad: To Stop Police Killings, Transform the Political Culture That Threatens Black Lives
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30261-khalil-muhammad-to-stop-police-killings-transform-the-political-culture-that-threatens-black-lives
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: Protests were held from coast to coast Tuesday in a day of action against police violence and racial profiling. Amy Goodman is joined by Khalil Muhammad, author of The Condemnation of Blackness: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30262-seiu-president-mary-kay-henry-speaks-at-a-san-fransciso-mcdonald-s-protest-for-15-an-hour
Staff, Labor Video Project: Protests of fast-food workers were held throughout the US and globally April 15. SEIU President Mary Kay Henry called on Presidential Pandidate Hillary Clinton and other candidates to support the $15 an hour campaign.
Four Reasons Why the Transition From Fossil Fuels to a Green Energy Era Is Gaining Traction
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30259-four-reasons-why-the-transition-from-fossil-fuels-to-a-green-energy-era-is-gaining-traction
Michael T. Klare, TomDispatch: Don't hold your breath, but future historians may look back on 2015 as the year that the renewable energy ascendancy began, the moment when the world started to move decisively away from its reliance on fossil fuels.
Five Corporations That Probably Didn't Pay Taxes This Year
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30244-five-corporations-that-probably-aren-t-paying-taxes-this-year
Kevin Mathews, Care2: While the average US taxpayer tends to dread April 15, not every person needs to get upset about Tax Day. These people (or, well, "people"), better known as corporations, have found that the existing tax rules actually work in their favor.
The Storm Is Over
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30245-the-storm-is-over
Kathy Kelly, teleSUR: Just about everyone longs to raise their children in a world where drought, storms and brutal want won't loom as insoluble, inevitable catastrophes. But other storms will come, and we will have to see how we weather them. What if our terrible fear of each other could pass us by?
It's Not Easy for Obama to Prove He's Green
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30246-it-s-not-easy-for-obama-to-prove-he-s-green
Emily Schwartz Greco, OtherWords: Just as cutting back from two packs of cigarettes a day to one pack won't do away with your personally inflicted cancer risks, all President Obama's great steps toward a lower-carbon future won't paint his legacy green.
