FEATURED ARTICLES

Indigenous Environmental Justice Issues Enter the Global Ring
From: INTERHEMISPHERIC RESOURCE CENTER
Talli Nauman
The author discusses how after many decades of often-fruitless insistence on treaty guarantees with the United States, Indian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are taking their demands beyond the realm of the U.S. civil rights and environmental movements. http://www.movingideas.org/cgi-bin/rd/epn_letter.pl?id=5775

The Health of Latino Communities in the South: Challenges and Opportunities
From: NATIONAL COUNCIL OF LA RAZA
Findings show that Latinos in the South are reluctant to use public health care programs and facilities due to barriers such as lack of information about available services, lack of insurance, insufficient numbers of bilingual, bicultural personnel, and disparate treatment. http://www.movingideas.org/cgi-bin/rd/epn_letter.pl?id=5736

This new report illustrates how the plan backfired.
