2. Stop Insuring Trans Mountain: Week of Action – June 14 – 21

Online and in-person

Join us for a week of action from June 14 – 21 targeting the insurance companies enabling the continued operation and expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻? The Trans Mountain expansion project would transport an additional 590,000 barrels of tar sands oil per day from Alberta to British Columbia, and lead to a 700% increase in oil tankers in the Salish Sea. Many Indigenous communities have consistently and repeatedly rejected the Trans Mountain pipeline and tanker project – but the Canadian government continues to plough ahead with construction.𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲? Current insurers of the pipeline are complicit in violating Indigenous rights and driving climate change through providing $500 million USD in coverage. Without insurance, the pipeline cannot keep operating, and its expansion can’t be constructed. That makes un-insuring Trans Mountain a critical way to stop the pipeline once and for all.Last year, Indigenous communities and activists pushed three insurance companies to cut ties with the pipeline: Zurich, Munich Re, and Talanx. We are not letting up the pressure.Trans Mountain is currently seeking insurers to back the project in the year to come, with a deadline of August 31. Right now we have a critical window in which to pressure insurers to rule out coverage for the pipeline and make Trans Mountain uninsurable.𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻:

OTTAWA!

We are calling on you to join us Tuesday June 22 at 4:30 PM at CBC offices to protest CBC’s anti-Palestinian biases and dishonest reporting on Palestine.

8. Stories from Insider Spaces: Exploring AGM Intervention as an Activist Tactic – Monday, June 28, 6:30PM – 8:00PM

Hosted by: Mining Injustice Solidarity Network

Registration information below!

Have you ever wished you could look the CEO of a harmful company in the face and say your piece? Want more information about a corporate project that’s impacting your community and wish you could get some answers? Come to this event and explore the strategic possibilities of Annual General Meetings (AGMs) with the Mining Injustice Solidarity Network (MISN)!

All publicly traded companies are legally required to hold Annual General Meetings (AGMs), where shareholders are able to attend, ask questions, and vote on important decisions.

This means that, once a year, companies with significant influence (including mining companies) are compelled to open up a space that is much more accessible to the public than many industry gatherings that happen behind closed doors. AGMs allow shareholders to hold company executives accountable. They can also be an important opportunity for activists and impacted communities.

AGM interventions have been an important part of MISN’s strategic toolbox . We’ve attended AGMs to take notes for impacted communities, asked questions to unmask the misleading information shared by mining companies with their shareholders, hosted rallies outside of AGMs, led disruptions inside the meetings themselves, and more. Here are some examples: https://mininginjustice.org/archive/pastprojects/spring-into-action/

During this event, MISN members and allies will share their experiences attending AGMs, outline some of the different intervention tactics that we’ve used in the past, and provide some practical information on how you can research and buy a share in a company so that you can also attend its AGM.

The format of this event will include multiple speakers, video documentation of AGM interventions, and some opportunities to engage in small group discussion with other participants.

We hope you’ll attend if you are fighting a publicly traded company or are impacted by a company and want to add one more approach to how you organize against it.

HISTORY

Ritesh and Harsha had one dream for their only child: to be born under the best possible consequences. Which was after they had settled down in the United States, gotten their motel running, and ensured there was no possible way they could be sent back.

None of that worked out. Ajita Hannu was born in Mumbai, India, after all.

She grew up with her family, all of them on a small estate in the middle of the city, being exposed to the noises and the smells of her parent’s city. She was taught English by her mother’s sister, she learned some Hindi, but mostly she was kept at home while her parents tried to figure out their plan. Because the plan was still the plan. When her parents had finally gotten the visa’s and everything needed for their planned immigration, Ajita was seven. She had the same attitude as her peers: to be the best at everything.

Still, Pleasance Ohio was a huge adjustment. Everything was so quiet. Ajita spent a lot of her time either at home or at school, because she didn’t like how quiet it was. Something about it felt eerie. But slowly she became more and more acquainted with the other kids in the town, even if she had little time for it. Her parents owned the small inn at the border of the tow: the Southwood Inn. And between herself, her mom, her dad, and a friend of theirs who helps with the cleaning all the work is divided up. After school she helped out. Just a little bit at first, but by the time she was twelve, she did everything. And she did it as practically as possible. Ajita wasted not a single moment.

She would study while manning the front desk, listen to Spanish podcasts while she cleaned the rooms, and prepare her school paper while she checked the inventory. Ajita always had her hands in multiple projects at once. She was the main voice for less plastic at school, protected anyone at school who felt different, started a LGBTQ+ group because she had realised already at eleven that she was very much into women. Most people thought she was too much, always voicing her opinion or trying to get votes or signatures or followers or whatever she needed. She had very few friends, but she didn’t care. Her parents were her best friends, and Ajita had great plans. Like her parents, she had great plans.

Studying came effortless to Ajita, she got high marks, sucked in information at any opportunity and by age sixteen was fluent in English, Hindi, and Spanish, with the intention of learning Catalan, German, and Italian. To her every subject was equally important, but there was one thing she was most interested in: what people wanted. How people saw themselves. People. She wanted to know how humanity worked. So she applied at the University of Barcelona. Her parents weren’t happy, and she was met with some resistance. They didn’t want to let her go, afraid that she would be the odd one out, misunderstood, and that she didn’t want to come back. But they didn’t realise how much Ajita loved Pleasance. She would always come back.

After a whole lot of begging, Ajita was allowed to leave.

She moved to Barcelona at eighteen, her grades were top of the bunch, the scholarship was in her pocket, and she had grand dreams for her future. She was already on her way to study Catalan, and managed to pick her way through the application in Spanish without any difficulty.

She studied for one and a half year in Barcelona, traveling all over the country on the weekend, before she quit the program. The language was part of the problem, Catalan was different from Spanish, and because of her internal confusion trying to differentiate between two languages, she didn’t get the marks she wanted, or the marks that would keep her there.

Since she still had half a year till the next semester, Ajita traveled around most of Western and some of Eastern Europe, backpacking and crowd surfing. She had made enough friends over the years that she could knock on the doors in random cities and towns, and would always find a place to stay if she wasn’t staying in hostels. The experience was fantastic, and it was even better when she realised not much later that she had been accepted at the University of Ghent for another course in Philosophy.

Now nineteen, Ajita moved to Belgium for a second try at Philosophy, taking Dutch classes on the side and once again spending her weekends traveling all over, this time visiting places in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany.

Her bachelor was three years, and a one year Master - another reason why she came to love the Belgian system. That and she didn’t have to pay all that much when it came to tuition. But Ajita found more than just happiness in the place. She also learned a lot about herself. Belgium was a whole lot more accepting of her status as being a lesbian, but it wasn’t just that, she joined the LGBTQ+ clubs around the city of Ghent, and found herself.

Growing up they had always felt different, not really fitting the gender roles people had assigned to them. They didn’t like wearing dresses, they joined soccer teams, and all their friends growing up had been boys. They had felt slightly awkward in their own body, and jealous of male characters in the media. Growing up they wanted to be Batman or Ash Ketchum for Halloween, not a princes like their girly classmates. They loved getting dirty and felt awkward when someone suggested they wear make-up. They were a tomboy, according to the neighbors, their long hair always in a knot on the back of their head, checking out their face in the mirror, imaging themselves different.

Although Ajita could never really say different in what way.

Demi-girl was the term she adopted in Belgium, and she planned to bring home with her.

Their last summer vacation they traveled to India, where they stayed till Holi.

She returned home with a Bachelor in her pocket, and over twenty thousand followers on her youtube traveling account. Both of which were worth little back in Pleasance, but she would find a way.

The plan was to take over the family business, and then she was going to run for mayor, but before she would do everything she could to make Pleasance better. Her beloved hometown. Despite all the cities they had seen and placed they had visited, nothing could top Pleasance.

HEADCANONS

They have a husky called Charlemagne. They found him a year ago in Bulgaria, and after a whole lot of effort, managed to send him to their parents in Pleasance. For the past year they’ve taken care of him, but he instantly recognised Ajita when she returned home.

Ajita does not believe in Ghosts. She does believe that local legends can help Pleasance grow as a tourist spot.

Ajita is rather known around Pleasance, or was, before she left to study abroad. She was a very annoying kid, who was always putting a foot in someone’s business, writing her school paper, getting signatures. Ajita had so many causes that she got swamped half of the time. She would talk to anyone who she met on the street, any tourist, any traveler. The tourists love her, the locals not so much at times.

She helped put some places out of business when she was younger, outing businesses that were doing horrible things to their employees. But she has also managed to keep a lot of big corporations out, collecting so many signatures that she got a project stopped before it even began.

She doesn’t like George Alby at all.

Local businesses to Ajita are the most important thing in a small town, and big companies put them out of business is one of their major concerns. They understand the philosophy behind it, and get why small business have problems surviving while big corporations can go ahead without much trouble, but she believes there is a possibility.

They love backpacking, and hiking, which is what they always end up doing during the weekend, bringing Charlemagne along.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

- childhood friends: Ajita was seven when they came to Pleasance. They’re bound to have known most people around the school, being as active as they were, though few people could probably stand them.

- enemies: you don’t get as politically active as Ajita and not make any enemies, they are sure to figure out where they stand now, having returned after studying.

- visitors at the Southwood Inn: Ajita works at her parent’s business, though sometimes it looks like she’s the one running it. She’s not curious, but she will try to strike up a conversation.

Between 'swarms' and 'security': How media report on migration | The Listening Post (Full) by Al Jazeera English On The Listening Post this week: A special on migration and the media's role in framing this era-defining story. ICE watch: Turning the lens on US immigration agencies Before US President Donald Trump took office, most media junkies in the United States would not have known that ICE stands for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency. But the Trump administration's hard line immigration policies have changed all that. And with the US president's ceaseless talking and tweeting about alleged threats from across the Mexican border, stories about ICE and its sister agency, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), are right up there on the mainstream media's agenda. But the role the media is playing in this particular narrative is going well beyond merely covering the story. The Listening Post's Flo Phillips reports from the US on some of the media collaborations that are turning the lens on the immigration authorities to track enforcement abuse. Contributors: Palika Makam - programme coordinator, WITNESS Ryan Devereaux - immigration reporter, The Intercept Muzaffar Chishti - director, Migration Policy Institute Dara Lind - immigration reporter, Vox On Our Radar Barbara Serra talks to the journalist and filmmaker Matthew Cassel about his experience covering the migration story - including the coverage of Europe's so-called migrant "crisis" and his latest series, The Missing. Border security TV: Crossing the line? They are images seen on screen more and more often - border control officials searching for illegal goods, interrogating unwanted newcomers, deporting those deemed undesirable - all in the name of protecting the homeland. And those pictures don't just end up on newscasts; border security shows have become a sub-genre of reality TV. Producers say the programmes provide an insight into the essential work of customs and immigration agencies. But in the post-9/11 climate, and in the context of a global refugee surge, the format smacks of tabloid TV at its worst - often exaggerating and sensationalising the threats posed by those crossing the border. Contributors Harsha Walia - founder, No One Is Illegal and author, Undoing Border Imperialism Nevin Thompson - Japan editor, Global Voices Benjamin Doherty - immigration correspondent, Guardian Australia Stewart Morris - executive producer, Border Force: America's Gatekeepers More from The Listening Post on: YouTube - http://bit.ly/2by8VEv Facebook - http://bit.ly/2c47sbZ Twitter - http://twitter.com/AJListeningPost Website - http://bit.ly/2bya0wg

Javed Miandad picks favourite Indian cricketer, names best quality - cricket

Indian cricket has seen a rise in recent years due to the immaculate effort put in by the players and the staff. They are currently the best Test side in the world while being second in the ICC ODI Rankings. Team India is seen as a pioneer in world cricket due to their consistent performances in the past few years. Players like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja have risen to the occasion and taken India to new heights.So who is Pakistan legend Javed Miandad’s favourite Indian cricketer? The rivalry between India and Pakistan is known to all but there has always been a mutual respect between cricketers of both the nations.Miandad revealed that Virat Kohli is his favourite cricketer from the Indian cricket team as he loves how he bats.ALSO READ: This day, that year: Azharuddin magic hands Australia their heaviest post-war Test defeat“I was asked who is the best in the Indian cricket team, so I choose Virat Kohli,’ Miandad said on his Youtube channel.“I don’t have to say much, his performance itself tells a lot. People have to admit this as stats are visible.“Virat performed really well in South Africa; even on an uneven wicket, he scored a hundred. You cannot say he is scared of fast-bowlers or he cannot play on bouncy pitches or he doesn’t play spinners well.”“He is a clean hitter. Look at his shots, it feels so good to watch him bat. He has class.”Miandad is the same off the field as he was on the field, straight forward and impactful. One of the most successful batsmen to have come out of Pakistan, Miandad on Wednesday tore into the Pakistan Cricket Board for giving a long rope to ‘non-performing’ players, saying that no player from the current Pakistan side can find a place in teams like Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, and India.ALSO READ: Harsha Bhogle slams people for ‘partying’ amid coronavirus pandemic“I want to ask them is there anyone from Pakistan who can replace players in teams like Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, and India?“None of our batsmen can play in these teams. We have bowlers but none in the batting line-up.“This world runs on a daily basis and wages. Score runs today, take the money and go. Score runs tomorrow then we will again pay you money. You are a professional, if you don’t work or score runs then why take money? This is the job of the Pakistan Cricket Board. They need to ensure that nobody takes the cricket team for granted,” Miandad said on his Youtube channel. Read the full article

An ‘Insta’ age of Twitterati

An ‘Insta’ age of Twitterati - In the age of social media, films rely on the Internet for promotions and connecting with fans. For an actor to attain the status of stardom, one has to work hard and deliver back-to-back hits at the box office with immense talent along with a bit of luck favouring him or her. With advanced technology and innovation, beyond filmmaking and its process, the industry has witnessed a sea change, but even the race for who holds the edge on social media has become a determining factor in the success of a film. While 100 days or records of running for months at theatres were celebrated in the past, the latest algorithm of popularity and success is being judged and fought in cyberspace. More than the release of the movie, how it trends on social media, the millions of likes and shares it reaches in record time is the score which every filmmaker keenly follows to further strengthen their promotion and reach a larger audience. “Technology has not only changed how films are made and seen, but even the permutation and combination of its success is calculated through their reach on the Internet. This is another reason why Internet-based media services are slowly creating a huge space for themselves. While, it was initially used to reach out to fans on a personal level, it has now turned into a full-fledged business to promote all kinds of ventures. It is a different world altogether based on the numbers on different platforms on social media,” says social media analyst Sree Harsha. Recently, when the teaser of the film Pailwaan starring Kichcha Sudeepa, directed by Krishna was released on YouTube, it trended on top with several millions of views, and became the talking point on the Internet. Previous, KGF ruled with equal likes, shares and comments. “Fans and followers eagerly await new releases and their teasers, motion posters, songs and trailers. Videos like these are of the most watched and trending topics on social media for any movie. Unfortunately, it has also set the stage for star wars between fans, followers and stars. These altercations seem to rule cyber space with records of their own. But, on the positive side, it is definitely a great tool to popularise the qualitative work from the Kannada film industry. For instance, when Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero was released alongside KGF, netizens praised KGF while expressing displeasure against Zero,” says director Manjunath. The number of followers is a crucial factor, and the industry and its fraternity have to keep viewers entertained constantly on social media. This is a game changer. And it also has a flip side, where fans get nasty with each other and the star as well. Actress Rashmika Mandanna, who has made it to the top in both Kannada and Telugu films in just two years, has a huge fan following. Anybody who messes with her fans are in for a word of caution! A fan of hers recently posted saying that Rashmika Mandanna is a YouTube sensation as she is the only heroine in Kannada who has 50 plus million views of a song featuring her and two 100 plus million views in Telugu, to which a netizen called it ‘the biggest joke in an offensive manner.” Noticing her fan being bullied, Rashmika stepped in, replying, “There is a limit for everything. Yes, commenting is your right but do it on me and I will take it but when it comes to my fans, you don’t have to speak to them that way! This message is not only for this guy but to all out there who speak negatively of my fans!” Her upcoming work in Kannada Yajamana starring alongside Challenging Star Darshan has been trending for its songs.

🇸🇾 Raed Fares: Murdered on the front line of Syrian journalism | The Listening Post (Full) by Al Jazeera English On The Listening Post this week: Activist, journalist and founder of Radio Fresh, Raed Fares, is assassinated in rebel-held Idlib province. Plus, the dangers of border security TV. Raed Fares: Murdered on the front line of Syrian journalism Seven years into the war in Syria, it's easy to forget how it all began: with an uprising, a people's rebellion against an authoritarian government, a fight for democracy and a free media. Raed Fares was one of the figureheads of that movement until he was shot dead last week alongside his cameraman, probably by fighters linked to al-Qaeda. Fares used various forms of media, especially radio, to push a revolutionary agenda from the rebel-held province of Idlib. With President Bashar al-Assad and his backers still largely in control, some see the killing of Fares as symbolic, the extinguishing of any remaining hope that the values of the Arab Spring can live on in Syria. Contributors Marwan Kraidy - media scholar, Annenberg School Rami Fares - Radio Fresh Joseph Daher - blogger, Syria Freedom Forever and associate professor, University of Lausanne Rania Abouzeid - Author of No Turning Back: Life, Loss, and Hope in Wartime Syria On our radar Richard Gizbert speaks to producer Meenakshi Ravi about a Guardian story linking Julian Assange to US President Donald Trump during the US presidential campaign - no smoking gun though - and a Polish TV channel accused of spreading Nazi propaganda. Border Security TV: Crossing the Line? They are images seen on screen more and more often - border control officials searching for illegal goods, interrogating unwanted newcomers, deporting those deemed undesirable - all in the name of protecting the homeland. And those pictures don't just end up on newscasts. Border security shows have become a sub-genre of reality TV.
