Hood Soldiers deploying to Iraq outside Fort Hood's Clarke gate this
morning at around 4 a.m. While the activists took the width of Clarke
Rd. and slowed the buses to a halt, police made no arrests, but instead

Vigil & Hunger/Thirst Strike for Justice in Austin

The Dreadful
Truth: 1/3 of Austin's construction workers are denied drinking water
at work. 41% of construction workers do not receive rest breaks on the
job. We are asking City Council to pass an ordinance to guarantee
construction workers the right to rest breaks and clean drinking water.
Last summer in Austin, Jeffrey Louis Willenborg died from heat
exhaustion after working several days in construction. "These deaths
are absolutely preventable, there is no reason why we should have
anyone working under these types of conditions," states WDP board
member Hector Hernández.

Press Conference & Ceremonial Blessing of
Water: 3 PM Workers, their families, responsible employers, and
religious leaders will publicly speak to the press. WDP will be joined
by Father Alberto from Dolores Church, to bless the hunger and thirst
strikers.

400 to 500 people marched in downtown Toronto to oppose the G20, its polluting policies, and the corporate polluters who benefit from those policies.

"We know what the solutions are. It's time to listen to us!" said Kimia Ghomeshi, an organizer of the "Toxic Tour" that roared through downtown Toronto today, as the G20 prepares to meet in the city on Friday. It was hard not to listen to the passionate demonstration, which began at Alexandra Park, accompanied by drummers playing samba and Brazilian rhythms who danced and chanted, "You failed IMF! You failed World Bank! You failed G8! Stop the G20!" Stopping at offices of corporate polluters and those who fund them, the demonstrators that G20 policies lead to pollution.
