"There are ways to reclaim our sovereignty, to become more than just consumers, by reconfiguring the food system and rewriting the relations of power that exploit both people and earth in the growing and eating of food." -Raj Patel

Occupy the Food System!
Eric Holt-Giménez and Tanya Kerssen
In the past few weeks, the U.S. Food Movement has made its presence felt in Occupy Wall Street. Voices from food justice organizations across the country are connecting the dots between hunger, diet-related diseases and the unchecked power of Wall Street investors and corporations. See Tom Philppot's excellent article in Mother Jones.
This is very fertile ground.

Subject: 2nd US Social Forum: Thousands Will Converge in Detroit to Promote Democracy, Diversity, and Justice
US Social Forum 2010
June 22-26, 2010 Detroit, Michigan
www.USSF2010.org
The US Social Forum is more than a conference, more than a networking bonanza, more than a reaction to war and repression. The USSF will provide space to build relationships, learn from each other's experiences, share our analysis of the problems our communities face and bring renewed insight and inspiration. It will help develop leadership and develop consciousness, vision, and strategy needed to realize another world.

NATO Admits to Killing of 8 Afghan Children in Air Strike
The U.S.-led NATO force in Afghanistan has apologized for an air strike last week that killed eight young Afghan children. Local residents blamed NATO at the time, but it took several days for NATO to admit fault. Earlier today, NATO’s Communications Director General Lewis Boone confirmed the bombing and expressed regret.
According to the United Nations, civilian casualties in Afghanistan increased for a fifth straight year in 2011 from nearly 2,800 to more than 3,000.
