The Real Cost of Prisons --An interview with Lois Ahrens Angola 3 News 2011-05-11 7:22 AM

The racist sub-text of the neo-liberal political agenda succeeded in creating acceptance of mass incarceration while simultaneously creating the laws and industries to police, prosecute, cage and control millions of people—almost all poor people and people of color. Neo-liberal policies have been in place for more than thirty years. As a result many people are not aware that our current political and economic situation is not the result of a natural course of events, but rather, of a systemically created ideology that has pervaded every aspect of our daily lives.

So Many of Us Sudhama Ranganathan 2011-04-14 12:12 PM

Americans watch our children go off to war. We watch the dreams of home ownership disintegrate in our hands like wet paper. We watch the gap between the wealthy and ourselves widen and try to keep saying it that way, as by doing so it makes it sound less like we’re getting poorer somehow. We watch our children have less access to quality education – the one thing we know will give them the kinds of futures we might have had. (image/jpeg)
