http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/23/occupy-wall-street-arrests_n_3326640.html?utm_hp_ref=business

Here's a fact that may make your blood boil: Nearly 8,000 Occupy Wall Street protesters have been arrested in association with the activist movement, while not one banker has been prosecuted for the actions that lead up to the country's financial meltdown.

The website OccupyArrests.com has tracked 7,736 in 122 cities nationwide since the Occupy movement began in September 2011.

On Monday, hundreds of members of Occupy Our Homes, an organization that supports homeowners facing foreclosure, protested outside of the Justice Department to speak out against homeowner abuses in the wake of the housing c...

Homeowner Protests Continue at Law Firm

http://www.aflcio.org/Blog/Political-Action-Legislation/Homeowner-Protests-Continue-at-Law-Firm

Homeowners supported by the Home Defenders League (HDL) and Occupy Our Homes participated in a third day of protest Wednesday, this time at the law firm Covington & Burling, which represents several major U.S. banks and is the former workplace of Attorney General Eric Holder, a key target of the week's protests. Eight more protesters were arrested, bringing the total for the three days to 34. A message on the HDL Facebook page Thursday said all of those arrested were released and will not face charges stemming from the protests.

As previously reported, the homeowners and their allies are demanding that Holder prosecute the b...

Sign the Petition to Save the Postal Service

http://wisaflcio.typepad.com/wisconsin-state-afl-cio-blog/2013/05/petition-postal-service.html

On April 24, Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) launched a “We the People” petition on the White House website. The congressman’s goal is to get President Obama to act to save the Postal Service. We can save American jobs by preserving delivery standards and ending the unfair mandate to aggressively pre-fund future retiree health benefits.

Sign the petition.

Recently, the White House quadrupled the number of signatures needed to trigger a response—to 100,000—and it imposed shorter time limits for collection of signatures. The deadline for this petition is THIS Friday, May 24, and thanks to letter carrier activists, more than 24,...

[VIDEO] 14-year-old Citizen Journalist Killed in Syria

http://globalvoicesonline.org/2013/05/22/teen-citizen-journalist-killed-in-syria/

Omar Qatifaan, a 14-year-old media activist, was killed 21 May, 2013 while covering clashes between the Syrian Army and the rebel Free Army in the southern Daraa al-Ballad area of Syria near the border with Jordan.

Youth media project Syrian Documents reported on his death, and Syrian news blog YALLA SOURIYA called him the “Spirit of Syria”.

The conflict in Syria, as well as other Arab Spring uprisings, has seen a rise in citizen journalists reporting from the ground on the ongoing war between the country's pro- and anti-government forces. Many have been detained, tortured, and even killed while trying to brin...

Women Of The Black Panther Party

(Pictured: Women Of The Panthers At Free Huey Rally)

https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/116436450126073061172

No matter how you look at the Black Panther Party, it was a powerful grassroots activist movement seeking to further the civil right’s of every American.

Black Panther Party, was an "All Power To All The People!” organization, whether you're black, white, blue, green, yellow, or polka dot. We believed in black unity, but only as a catalyst to help humanize the world. The Black Panther Party worked for self-determination and social justice for all people

The Black Panther Party sought to end racism AND sexism. The Black Panthers were brothers and sisters. They fought alongside each other and it was an egalitarian subculture; much more so than mainstream America in the 60′s, when women were meant to be homemakers and live a mindless, obligatory existence for the sole purpose of serving others (husband and children).

In the subculture of the Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Movement during the era of the Civil Rights, the women had stature, presence and perhaps, almost as much power as the men did in this movement (especially Angela Davis). These Black Panther women’s voices were heard, encouraged, and they said whatever the hell they wanted. In these two cultures (white and black) which were world’s apart but co-existed in America during the Civil Rights Revolution, this positive aspect of the movement was often overlooked. Women in the Black Panther Party were fighting for women’s rights, and they were fighting with their voices, their passion to end inequity and to establish basic human rights. These women were an integral, critical influence in the feminist/women’s rights movement. These black women were at the dangerous activist forefront of establishing more freedom and rights for women of every color. And make no mistake, there were also white and brown women right by their sides.

RAILROADS HIRE MANY VETS RETURNING FROM WAR

http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/

Mark Major once led a team of soldiers in combat in Iraq. Now he leads a team of railroad employees. The difference, he says, is obvious: "I'm not getting shot at anymore."

But it's the similarities between serving in the military and working for the railroad that draw Major and many other former military members to this type of work.

"For a veteran -- a person who thrives off excitement, a mission and a chain of command -- you tend to seek out companies like that," said Major, who has worked for Union Pacific for about two years.

As thousands of American soldiers return to the civilian workforce after se...

For a third day, homeowners and supporters protesting foreclosures will hold a public demonstration in D.C. And once again, Attorney General Eric Holder, who admitted early this year some banks are too big to prosecute, will be the target.

Protesters gathered at Freedom Plaza at 11 a.m. Wednesday to march on Covington & Burling LLP, a law firm where Holder was once a partner. The firm, located at 1201 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, represents or has represented major banks including Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase.

Trumka: Senate Judiciary Committee Immigration Bill an 'Enormous Step' Toward Healing an Injustice

http://www.aflcio.org/Blog/Political-Action-Legislation/Trumka-Senate-Judiciary-Committee-Immigration-Bill-an-Enormous-Step-Toward-Healing-an-Injustice

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka released the following statement in response to the Senate Judiciary Committee's immigration bill:

Today brings to mind Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s wise and hopeful words, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

More than 11 million aspiring Americans took a big step toward becoming citizens today with the bipartisan Senate Judiciary Committee vote. That reflects an enormous step toward healing an injustice, the deportation crisis that has wrecked families, communities and workplaces for far too long.

Cutbacks disastrous for police, says Labour

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/8706271/Cutbacks-disastrous-for-police-says-Labour

The problem of experienced police quitting is not unique to Taranaki, says Labour's police spokesman.

Kris Faafoi was in New Plymouth yesterday and he echoed the concerns raised by one of the region's top police officers, Grant Coward, who retired last month.

In April the Taranaki Daily News revealed that more than a dozen Taranaki officers, some with more than 20 years' experience, had left or were leaving.

Mr Faafoi said the latest Ten One police magazine showed more than 50 sworn officers had resigned around the country in the past month.

"It's the sheer number and the experience of these officers that's of concern,...
