Philadelphia
Development in Philly is out of control, worsening conditions for working class people & the environment. Hundreds of community activists took to the streets to set the tone for Philly's 2023 election: anyone running for mayor or city council better have policy solutions for ensuring long-term, working class residents have a place in this city and that Philly is truly tackling and prepared for the climate crisis.
The march was organized by community groups fighting for land justice across our city, including Philly Thrive, Sunrise Movement, VietLead, Save UCTownhomes, Save the Meadows, Cobbs Creek EJ, and more!

Conflict-induced population displacement, both internally within the DRC and refugee flows from neighbouring countries, has had a considerable negative environmental impact. Several major waves of population displacement have occurred since the mid-1990s, with many groups being displaced multiple times. Despite the formal end of the Second Congo War (1998-2002) with the signing of peace agreements between the DRC, Rwanda, Uganda and warring groups in 2002, more than 2.4 million people have been displaced from their homes since then, mainly in eastern DRC. More recently in 2009, fighting in western DRC has caused over 110,000 people to flee into the neighbouring Republic of Congo.

Les déplacements de population dus aux conflits en RDC et l’afflux de réfugiés fuyant les pays voisins ont eu un impact environnemental négatif important. Plusieurs grandes vagues de déplacements de population ont eu lieu depuis le milieu des années 1990, et de nombreux groupes se sont déplacés plusieurs fois. Malgré la fin officielle de la seconde guerre du Congo (de 1998 à 2002) avec la signature d’accords de paix entre la RDC, le Rwanda, l’Ouganda et les groupes belligérants en 2002, plus de 2,4 millions de personnes ont dû quitter leur foyer depuis cette date, principalement dans l’est de la RDC. Plus récemment en 2009, les combats dans l’ouest de la RDC ont fait fuir plus de 110 000 personnes vers la République du Congo, voisine de la RDC.

Displacement along a Small Fault at Pillar Point. This small, unnamed fault along Maverick's Beach at Pillar Point is parallel to, and about 500 yards west of, the much larger San Gregorio Fault. It is one of many thousands of small right-lateral-slip faults that are part of the San Andreas system. The fault plane, seen here in the Purisima Formation, is roughly perpendicular to the line of sight. The movement along the fault is primarily horizontal with a small component of vertical displacement. Note the seep where the fault intersects the beach at the base of Pillar Point Bluff, caused by the greater porosity in the fractured rock along the fault plane. Pillar Point.

Fighting between Government and opposition forces last April pushed thousands of civilians to displace to Padding and Lankien, both still under opposition control. The massive displacement, that duplicated the population, brought an outbreak of cholera and a serious need of health assistance, drinking water and food distribution among the population, according to the local leaders.

CFA organised a “National Seminar on Changing Landscape and Growing Financial Crisis in the Power Sector” on September 1st & 2nd, 2018. The venue for the programme is USO International Centre (USOIC), USO House, USO Road, 6, Special Institutional Area, New Delhi-110067 and the session will start from 9:30 AM.
This two day seminar will bring together experts, activists and journalists, who are monitoring and raising issues related to power sector to understand current landscape and changes in policies, failure of the regulatory mechanisms, growing burden on Public Sector Banks due to NPAs in electricity sector, etc. and fruitless attempts to solve the deepening financial crisis by the government in this sector.
In the past few years, a major shift has taken place in the power sector on several fronts including environment clearance, national forest policy, coal mining regulation, power purchase agreement (PPA), fuel supply agreement (FSA) and policies of financial institutions. In India, the shift started with Electricity Act, 2003 which unbundled the State Electricity Boards in three separate companies for generation, transmission and distribution along with delicensing the thermal power sector giving a free hand to private companies to expand power projects. This model was imposed by the World Bank which aimed to bring the private companies into the safer and profitable zones.
These changes have pushed for privatization in the power sector favouring the big companies often going against the interest of people. The private developers setting up thermal power plants took undue advantage of the situation and forced the state power utilities to sign PPA for a period of 25 years with a deemed generation clause, where this clause forced the power distribution companies (Discoms) to pay for the power that they may not consume during the lean periods. These thermal power plants are spread all over the river basins across India and have been grabbing the land and forests for the projects and mining. There is a fight to control the natural resources of the country whether it is land, forests, minerals or rivers. The coal-based power projects apart from causing massive displacement also hugely impact the livelihoods of communities, who in most cases are farmers, Adivasis and Dalits. These projects also adversely impact the environment causing serious health concerns for people and destruction of ecology. The energy needs of urban India is being fulfilled at the cost of land and livelihoods of rural communities.
The expansion of power projects is not only affecting the environment and natural resources but also robbing the public of their own money through companies taking huge loans from the banks for these projects and not repaying them. However, this robbing of public money is not limited to the power sector alone. Currently, the Indian banks are facing a financial crisis due to a staggering amount of stressed assets (Gross NPAs + Restructured Advances). Indian banks’ gross Non-Performing Assets (NPAs), or bad loans, stood at Rs 10.25 lakh crore as of 31 March 2018. Last quarter, the pile has grown by Rs 1.39 lakh crore or 16 per cent from Rs 8.86 lakh crore as on 31 December 2017. In the RBI’s Financial Stability Report, the apex bank said that the Gross NPA (GNPA) ratio of Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) is likely to rise in the current fiscal.
The problem of NPAs in power sector was highlighted in 2017 through two key power projects – Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (4000MW) owned by TATA Power and Adani’s Mundra Thermal Power Project (4660MW), which were incurring massive losses and asked the state government to bail them out. The trend of the government bailing out private companies with public money is growing day by day. In March 2018, a report was published by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Energy to focus on the ‘Stressed/Non-Performing Assets’ in the electricity sector. The committee identified 34 thermal power projects worth Rs. 1.74 lakh crore were on verge of becoming NPAs. It is worthwhile to note that out of these 34 thermal power plants, 32 power plants belonged to the private sector, while only two were from the public sector. Apart from that, the committee highlighted that Stressed Assets were around 17.67% (Rs. 98,799 crores) of the total advances in the thermal power sector.
These projects have been given loans in tune of lakhs of crores rupees by Indian banking and non-banking institutions. The current government made a number of unsuccessful attempts to resolve this mounting financial crisis, including a number of mechanisms such as Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC), Bad Bank Formula, Project Sashakt, etc. Now the government has set up a committee headed by cabinet secretary to look into the matter. It raises the questions on the intentions of the government whether they really want to resolve this or making some visible attempt due to an upcoming election.
The consequences of this situation are that the stressed assets of banks are compounding due to the haphazard expansion of projects by power companies, which are eventually being bailed out by the government through public money. On the one hand private companies are robbing the public money and on the other hand, they are ignoring the social and environmental impacts of these projects.

This photograph shows the effects of ground displacement caused by movement of the 'San Andreas' fault.....a "master" fault of an intricate fault network that cuts through rocks of the California coastal region. The entire San Andreas fault system is more than 800 miles long and extends to depths of at least 10 miles within the Earth. This photo was taken at an old abandoned military structure called 'Battery Mendel', that was built as a coastal fortification along the shore of the Marin Headlands, only a few miles east of the fault line.
The Marin Headlands is the site of a number of historic military settlements fortifications, including Fort Cronkhite, Fort Barry, a large number of bunkers and batteries, and the SF-88 Nike Missile silo. From the 1890s, the first military installations were built to prevent hostile ships from entering San Francisco Bay. The batteries here at Fort Barry are examples of fortifications from the pre-World War I period.
Battery Mendell, constructed in 1902, was the first of the batteries built at Fort Barry. An M1895A4 12-inch breech loading rifle was once mounted on a disappearing carriage in the now-grassy semicircular area you see in this photograph. The rifle remained there until 1943 when, after the threat of imminent invasion had passed, it was removed and scrapped. For decades after, the battery fell into disrepair and was a target for vandals and taggers. Today, thanks to the National Park Service, portions of it are being repaired and restored.

Vertical Water Displacement Clean Energy Generation improved Egyptian Shaduff by Maximo Gomez Nacer. The powering mass moves towards the center to allow the refill of the container on each cycle and it moves to the periphery of the powering arm in order to lift the water on each cycle. Since the horizontal displacement of the powering mass is facilitated with wheels and since it moves on an horizontal plane, it consumes very small amount of energy, then there is a significant mechanical advantage.
18 March 2014. Saraf Omra: A woman with her baby at the new settlement for displaced people in the vicinity of the UNAMID base in Saraf Omra, North Darfur.
In the aftermath of a conflict that erupted on 7 March between the Gimir and Abbala tribes, an estimated 55,000 people from Saraf Omra and neighbouring villages were displaced. Many sought refuge in the vicinity of the UNAMID base in the town, while others moved to villages in Central and West Darfur.
The feuding communities signed a cessation-of-hostilities agreement on 12 March. Post this development, the situation has stabilized and the majority have returned to their homes. However, a few thousand are still displaced.

September 2009, Medina Khaiwan, Yemen. The ICRC and the Yemen Red Crescent distribute relief goods to displaced people.
All too often, the authorities are unable or unwilling to meet their obligations to protect and assist IDPs. When this happens, humanitarian organizations have a role to play in ensuring the survival of the displaced people.
National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are well placed to help IDPs, because they have their roots in communities, mostly cover an entire national territory, and have privileged access to the authorities. In many instances, National Societies from other countries also contribute to Movement's response, focusing on providing direct services and material aid.

For social housing & against pipelines: Unite struggles against displacement!
Social Housing Alliance Nat’l Day of Action for Housing statement in unity with Burnaby Mountain defenders
This fight against the destructive resource extraction economy is also a fight against displacement and housing shortages across BC. Today pipelines and other resource mega-projects are causing displacement in Indigenous and working class communities, from Burnaby to Kitimat, where pipeline construction pressures have brought a 0% vacancy rate and mass evictions and rent increases. Social Housing Alliance stands with the resistance at Burnaby Mountain to say NO to ongoing displacement for corporate profits held up by the colonial Canadian state.
Burnaby Mountain is not Canada’s “public” land
On November 14th Supreme Court of Canada granted an injunction in favor of Kinder Morgan, allowing police to forcibly remove protesters so that the company can begin its drilling work. But Canadian courts do not have legal jurisdiction on unceded Coast Salish territories. Burnaby Mountain is not public land for the Canadian state to offer to a U.S. company for resource extraction. It is Indigenous land caught in an ongoing cycle of dispossession.
On top of destroying Indigenous economies and ways of being, short sighted resource economies make lives worse for Indigenous and working class people around the province. Local economies are upended, housing costs increase, sexual and gender violence against Indigenous women spikes, and more pressure is put on low-income residents, all for temporary jobs.
We say stop displacement! They say cut taxes!
Though the government claims that resource extraction projects can fund social housing and social services, this same government is providing tax exemptions for resource extraction companies while keeping taxes low for all corporations. Taxes have never been so low. Today the BC government is subsidizing corporate profits while aggressively defunding social housing. In the next ten years, over 30,000 affordable housing units will lose their funding in BC.
Social housing and social programs are not starved because of a lack of wealth in British Columbia. Tax cuts and government austerity are the product of the very corporations and government that bring us pipelines as a temporary salve to economic crisis.
Corporations and colonial governments are united in their drive to colonize the land and prioritize profits over social well-being. In response, housing and environmental justice movements are standing united in resistance against displacement and dispossession. Let’s together stop Kinder Morgan in their tracks!
