Stand Up and Sit In for Democracys

Stand Up and Sit In for Democracys

by Jim Hightower

The moment is ripe to rally a People's rebellion, intervene in this year's elections with a clear change agenda, and make this moment the turning point for implementing those changes.

Earth Day Texas: Film Screening - "Living with the Trinity" - Dallas





Earth Day Texas: Film Screening - "Living with the Trinity" - Dallas

Mar 28 2016 - 6:00pm to 8:30pm Angelika Film Center 5321 E Mockingbird Ln Dallas , TX

Living with the Trinity

 

6:00 PM - Reception & Check In / 6:30 - Screening Begins /7:30 - Discussion with the filmmakers

The film Living with the Trinity is an incisive look at the history of the Trinity River and its relationship with the people who have settled along its banks. By diving into the past, this film is able to explain why the river remains a rather invisible resource despite the ambitious public works projects planned around it and the millions of Texans who rely on the body of water for life.

 

This is a must-see film for North Texans learning to love this unpredictable river and fighting for its future.

Trade, Labor, and Politics

Paul Krugman

There are a lot of things about the 2016 election that nobody saw coming, and one of them is that international trade policy is likely to be a major issue in the presidential campaign. What's more, the positions of the parties will be the reverse of what you might have expected: Republicans, who claim to stand for free markets, are likely to nominate a crude protectionist, leaving Democrats, with their skepticism about untrammeled markets, as the de facto defenders of relatively open trade.

Action Alert: Coal Plants Must Be Included in New DFW Smog Boundaries

Even as we're all waiting to see what EPA decides to do about the current Texas air plan for DFW under the current 75 ppb ozone standard,

the regulatory process is gearing-up to administer the new 70 ppb standard.

 

One of the things which must be decided by the EPA are what geographical boundaries to use for the new standard when it comes to the DFW airshed and its chronic smog condition. Should they stick with the current 10-County configuration or should it be different and/or more inclusive?

 

The history of DFW's smog fight is a lengthy chronicle of bringing new counties into the fold despite official resistance. Originally, the DFW non-attainment area was only Tarrant, Dallas, Collin and Denton. Then Rockwall, Parker, and Johnson Counties came in because of their commuter traffic.

 

Downwinders had to petition the EPA to bring Ellis County and its cement industrial complex into the non-attainment area early in this century after being told repeatedly by state officials that its pollution had no impact on DFW air quality.
