A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt
[… T]he individual virtues, and the necessity of character as the chief factor in any man’s success — a teaching in which I now believe as sincerely as ever, for all the laws that the wit of man can devise will never make a man a worthy citizen unless he has within himself the right stuff, unless he has self-reliance, energy, courage, the power of insisting on his own rights and the sympathy that makes him regardful of the rights of others.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Autobiography, ch. 1 “Boyhood and Youth” (1913)More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/8…

A quotation from Alexander Hamilton
The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the Divinity itself, and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.
Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804) American statesman, author

The US election is on a knife edge.
My trip to Georgia showed how easily it could end in tragedy
To my right: a cluster of #election #conspiracy #theorists who still believe Donald Trump won in 2020.
To my left, a group of #voting #rights #campaigners, singing an old spiritual popularised during the civil rights era.
They were here to observe
🔥last-minute efforts by hard-right officials to alter the way in which votes will be counted next month.The measures, many say, will sow doubt in this crucial swing state, 🆘creating chaos that is likely to favour Trump.
A man wearing a Trump T-shirt had weaved his way into the voting rights group
– most of whom were Black
– and was grinning with satisfied amusement.Others started hanging pro-Trump flags behind them as police officers intervened.
The conspiracy theorists
– mostly white
– pointed and laughed -
Two more #states have confirmed that #constitutional #amendments protecting #abortion #rights will go before voters in November
-- while reproductive rights advocates in a third state are headed to court to challenge language summarizing their measure that they call "deceptive and misleading."
1. Late on Tuesday, the #Arizona Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit alleging that activists' description of their abortion amendment on petitions they used to gather signatures was legally insufficient. ✅The decision allows the measure, which would guarantee abortion until fetal viability, to appear on the ballot as #Proposition139.
2. On the same day, #Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen certified that a similar amendment had qualified for the ballot. That proposal, known as Constitutional #Initiative128, would likewise
✅protect the right to an abortion until a fetus is said to be viable outside the womb, which is generally around 24 weeks into pregnancy.
Jacobsen had previously sought to keep the measure from going to voters, but the state Supreme Court late last month rejected a challenge she brought.3. Meanwhile, in #Missouri, organizers have filed a lawsuit
👉challenging language describing their amendment 👈drafted by Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, 🆘who has repeatedly used the powers of his office to undermine their campaign.⚠️Ashcroft's summary, which would be postednext to sample ballots at polling places, claims the amendment would permit abortion "at any time of pregnancy" and "prohibit any regulation of abortion," including any laws that might target "anyone who performs an abortion and hurts or kills the pregnant women."
Last year, Ashcroft wrote a similarly 💥slanted synopsis of the amendment 💥that would have appeared on actual ballots but was repeatedly shot down by the courts, including the state Supreme Court, which declined to hear an appeal.
Ashcroft certified the measure, known as #Amendment3, earlier this month.

Arizonans have an amazing opportunity this November.
Flipping just two seats in both state houses will turn the Grand Canyon State into the next Democratic and democratic #trifecta.
If you want to make sure you do all you can to survive 2024 with the fewest possible regrets, joining us in Flipping Arizona is the way to do it.
Your dollars will go to the key races in the state to help fund the best-research backed strategies and tactics available.
By focusing on down ballot races and great legislative candidates, we'll also help elect #Ruben #Gallego to the US Senate while doing our best to defeat Donald Trump.
And we'll help the state pass an #abortion #rights #amendment to the Constitution that will protect reproductive rights from bans that were passed in 2022 and 1864.

" #Environmental #campaigners filmed, #threatened and #harassed at #Cop28
#Indigenous campaigners, #HumanRights defenders and #climate #activists say they are being silenced by fear of reprisals - “In the last few years, we’ve seen #Indigenous representatives being filmed by people related to government institutions while giving statements about human rights at #UN events, or photographed just for being present at a UN event,” said Lola García-Alix, the global governance senior adviser for the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs.
“We’ve witnessed people working closely with governments physically corner and encircle Indigenous representatives in UN meetings. Such acts of intimidation have drastic effects back home, where Indigenous people sometimes face reprisals, including being questioned, harassed or detained.
“While many of these incidents happened in UN human rights events, such as the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, this worrying trend is expanding,’ García-Alix said. “We recently saw intimidation tactics at Cop in #Dubai where several Indigenous people from one country were intimidated by people working closely with that country’s government."

The Nature Positive Plan, data and consultation
Reforms to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act must enshrine a fair say for the community
https://www.wilderness.org.au/news-events/epbc-act-must-enshrine-a-fair-say-for-community"Meaningful public participation – involves restoring trust in the system. This requires transparency, proper consultation, and the public’s right to challenge decisions in the courts".
"Meaningful consultation requires time, expertise, and properly funded expert bodies that can build a culture of continuous improvement. Again, Australia’s record to date has been piecemeal and poor."
"To get agreement, we need a better way than the standard project-based approval processes and private negotiations between developers and landowners. The underlying principle must be that all citizens, not just directly affected groups, bear the burden of advancing the common good."
"These elements are: good environmental information, regional environmental planning and meaningful public participation."
