A series of corporate and alternative news articles on the global food crisis and related uprisings of 2011. Although largely overshadowing the food crisis, the Arab Revolts of early 2011 were initially sparked by rising food prices (wheat, grain, and corn) and paralleled similar disturbances throughout Asia, Africa and South/Central America. Contributing factors to the food crisis include reductions in agricultural lands (from pollution, toxins, depletion, urbanization, etc.), destruction of crops (from flooding, droughts, wildfires, etc.), and rising fuel costs. The Arab Revolts are already contributing to rising oil prices, which in turn will lead to higher food costs (and for all commodities). Happy New Year!

AW@L Statement on Targeted Policing at the Toronto G20 and Continued Criminalization of Community Organizations
September 15th 2010 – Kitchener-Waterloo
G20 Policing, Political Targeting, and Anarchy
The Toronto G20 and G8 summits of so-called “leaders” of the self-described free world were defiantly met by a massive convergence of people oriented towards social justice. Indigenous Nations and anti-poverty groups, migrant justice activists, anti-capitalists, environmentalists, community builders, disAbility rights advocates, radical feminists, anarchists, moms and grandmothers, animal liberation crusaders, maternal health advocates, civil libertarians, liberals, and some people from the right and a score of others from the entire spectrum of the ecological and social justice movements took the streets to share their love and rage. For another time on Turtle Island in 2010, a people’s convergence was met with scorn and repudiation from these uncaring leaders and with violence and violations from the massive security operation mobilized to keep us silent.
