Families are taking it upon themselves to fight the staggering levels of child poverty in Newcastle and the North East, but should they have to? We spoke to parents and charities about how local and central governments could lift children out of poverty. bigissue.com/news/social-ju…

Workers from @petrobras and YPFB have today forced their way into Chiquiacá in Bolivia's Tariquía National Reserve, without consultation and in violation of the decision taken organically by local peasant unions to reject gas development in the area #extractivism #rights

The communities of the Tariquía nature reserve say "no" to gas extraction. Now YPFB, Petrobras and the Bolivian government will have to respect their grassroots decision. The companies tried to enter the reserve by force on Friday with help of the police.
