The Clerk in Cleveland Owns Your Backyard

Proximity isn’t a property line. A federal acre in Oregon belongs to a line cook in Cleveland exactly as much as it belongs to me.

Oil palm in Latin America: monoculture and violence

The rapid expansion of oil palm plantations across #SouthAmerica is causing significant environmental, economic and social problems. This growth is leading to #deforestation, #landgrabbing displacement of #indigenous and farming communities, and increased militarised and police #violence, particularly affecting Indigenous and Afro-descendant populations. Despite the global demand for #palmoil, the consequences of its production on peasant communities in South and Central America are raising serious questions about its viability and #humanrights rigour.
