PAID FOR BY ORGANIZING FOR ACTION. Yesterday, this administration bragged that they could withhold important payments and subsidies to health insurers -- just to gain negotiating leverage in their failing quest to repeal Obamacare.  What they are proposing is sabotage, plain and simple. There's no question that this move is cruel -- it would jeopardize access to health care for millions of people. And it's just the latest example of the administration's continued callous attitude towards Americans' access to health care. If you agree that access to affordable, quality care is more than a political bargaining chip, speak out against efforts to sabotage Obamacare now. Access to care -- getting much-needed cancer treatment, visiting a doctor to check in on a pregnancy, or even getting a regular check-up -- is crucial for most Americans. It's often a matter of life and death. It's irresponsible to explicitly try and sabotage Obamacare like this, and even worse to brag about it. Just a few months ago, leaders in Congress cobbled together an inadequate, unacceptable, and unpopular replacement for Obamacare. They couldn't pass that bill thanks to folks like you -- people who stood up, got organized, and spoke out, letting Speaker Ryan and other Washington Obamacare opponents know that ripping health coverage away from 24 million Americans is a bad idea. When they realized they lost, they sat back and started calling for Obamacare to fail.  But Obamacare isn't in a death spiral, so now the same opponents have to explicitly work against it at every turn. People like you are still here to defend our friends, family, and neighbors who depend on Obamacare. It's up to all of us to keep raising our voices against cruel, irresponsible attempts to sabotage it. Speak up Jack Shapiro Director of Policy and Campaigns Organizing for Action UpcomingMonthWeekDayArchive Eduardo Neves to present "Was There Ever a Neolithic in the Neotropics?: A Discussion from the Amazon" New Trends in Latin American Studies Series Featuring: Eduardo Neves (Anthropologist, Visiting Professor at Harvard) It is accepted today that the Amazon was an ancient center of plant domestication in the Americas. However, it is also becoming clear that the management of several tree crops that were never domesticated provided an important source of resources for ancient Amazonian societies as well. Some of these tree species are known to be currently hyperdominant are overrepresented in floristic surveys done across the basin and it is likely that such ecological pattern results from human management in the past. If true, this means that the Amazon forests have a cultural history as much as they have a natural history. This presentation will draw from Eduardo Neves' own ongoing research in Southwestern Amazonia as well as research from others to provide a criticism of concepts such as domestication and agriculture when applied for the Amazonian past. It will be proposed that their application obscures rather than helps one to understand how complex forms of interaction between people and nature unfolded over the millennia in the tropical past.

The farm sector currently accounts for 21.5% of Brazil's Gross Domestic Products and for half of its export earnings, thereby contributing toward economic well-being and social stability. Though Brazilian farmers enjoy no subsidies, they remain competitive on international markets.  Brazil is the worlds largest exporter of sugar, coffee, orange juice, soy beans, and chicken. And stands among the leading exporters of products, such as corn, soybean oil and beef. Notwithstanding such achievements, there is still space for diversification and productivity gains.  Brazil can count upon significant competitive advantages, including vast areas of arable land, immense natural reserves, and among the worlds largest fresh water resources. Brazil has made great strides in agricultural research and technology, thereby increasing yields, while exercising social responsibility and environmental sustainability."  - The Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, EMBRAPA Moderator Thomas DeCoene, CEO, GCA LLC Speakers Sergio Bueno, Partner, Agricola Rio Galhao Renato Cavalini, Managing Partner and Senior Vice President, Brookfield Brazil Henrique Americano de Freitas, Executive Vice President and South America CEO, Westchester Group Mark Moore, Manager, Bunge Global Agribusiness Rafael Pilla, Founder, FARM Investimentos More information to follow!185 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York Anna Mester – Brazil's (Re)Encounter with "Africa" Wednesday, April 19, 2017 12 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. This presentation will explore “Africa” as a cultural and historical construct and the museum as a space which discerns, creates, and writes historical discourse of and about “Africa” in the present.

Some scholars claim that Brazil has become a laboratory for the development of civic technology and new participatory tools. The country is indeed the birthplace of “participatory budgeting”. In addition, Brazil created one of the very first crowdsourced laws, the so-called Marco Civil da Internet (Brazil´s Internet Bill of Rights protecting free speech online, privacy, net neutrality and other Internet rights). In this talk, I will explain how Marco Civil was created, and the challenges of building a crowdsourced law. I will also introduce the Mudamos platform, a new technology built for Brazilians to come together and introduce new legislative Bills directly in Congress, using their cellphones. Ronaldo Lemos is an internationally respected Brazilian scholar and commentator on technology, intellectual property, and culture. He is a director of the Institute for Technology & Society of Rio de Janeiro (ITS Rio) and professor of law & innovation at the Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ). He is currently a Tinker Visiting Professor at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. He holds law degrees from University of Sao Paulo Law School, and Harvard Law. Lemos was one of the creators of the Marco Civil, a law enacted in 20014 regulating the Internet in Brazil protecting civil rights, privacy and net neutrality. He is a member of the Council for Social Communication in Brazil’s Congress, created by Brazilian Constitution to deal with matters related to media and freedom of expression. Lemos writes weekly to Folha de S.Paulo, a national newspaper in Brazil. He hosts a TV show focused on innovation at Globonews, a cable news channel, and has contributed to a number of other publications, including Foreign Affairs, Harper’s Bazaar, and Bravo!. In 2015 he was appointed a “Young Global Leader” by the World Economic Forum. In 2016 he was appointed a fellow with Ashoka. Dr. Lemos serves as a board member in various organizations, such as the Mozilla Foundation and Access Now.

A whopping 67 percent of voters didn't want them to "go nuclear" -- but instead, they rewrote the rules in their favor. This is a reckless move that will grant a lifetime appointment to a judge who couldn't even reach consensus support -- and it could have consequences for decades to come.  It's up to all of us to keep letting members of Congress know we won't stand for these kinds of unprecedented and irresponsible moves, and we won't stop taking action when they try new ways to bend the system to their will. Add your name if you're ready to double down and show leaders in Congress that we're paying attention, and we're not going away -- we're going to stay strong and keep organizing, because we deserve better. In February, people like you flooded town halls and made your priorities known. You spoke up about the chaos that repealing Obamacare would create, and you better believe that made an impact. When congressional leaders got back to Washington, they found themselves without the support they needed to repeal Obamacare. Congress is going on recess again tomorrow, and we're going to use the opportunity to keep training and supporting each other to hold our representatives accountable. Let's make it clear to them that reckless moves like the one they made this afternoon -- which undermine one of the most important parts of our democracy -- are unacceptable. Keep the pressure on -- say you're not going to back down.
