How to Solve LA’s Housing and Houselessness Crisis

What is needed to solve the housing crisis in L.A. by Pete White of LA CAN (Community Action Network) www.cangress.org Three years ago, we released a community-based assessment of HHH spending and the lack of progress in a report entitled ”All Show, No Substance.” There were several action items listed that would ultimately serve as our organizing agenda.

Greta Thunberg Speaks on the Climate Crisis

Greta Thunberg Speaks on Climate Crisis      A year and a half ago, I didn’t speak to anyone unless I really had to. But then I found a reason to speak. Since then, I have given many speeches and learned that when you talk in public, you should start with something personal or emotional to get everyone’s attention, say things like, “Our house is on fire,” “I want you to panic,” or “How dare you!” But today I will not do that, because then those phrases are [...]

Cuba – Que Linda Es Cuba!

Cuba, Que Linda Es Cuba by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action LA I went to Cuba for the first time, as part of the 50th Venceremos Brigade, for two weeks in July and August, along with over 150 others, the largest solidarity delegation in many years. The visit was eye-opening about the on-going revolutionary process and humanitarian values of their socialist society. It inspired us to oppose the US embargo/blockade against Cuba, and to organize to demand that the US recognize and respect Cuban sovereignty and dignity, stop [...]

Hopefully, the article’s premise of impending runaway global warming (“RGW”) is off the mark, by a lot. BTW… the worst-case scenario happens within one decade! Here’s a snippet: “… such a rise in greenhouse gas levels has historically corresponded with more [...]

The IMF Showed the World How Not to Celebrate International Women’s Day By Tanya Rawal-Jindia Author Bio: Tanya Rawal-Jindia is a researcher at Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. This article was produced by Globetrotter, a project of the Independent Media Institute.
