Now, a year later, Seth Freed Wessler revisits one of the women profiled in the original reporting to talk about how her home foreclosure continues to affect her.Climate Change, Foreclosure in Detroit, and Oscar Grant

When natural ecology changes, human ecology changes; while we might not have an apocalyptic Day After Tomorrow scenario, it may be a slow and more painful series of wars, refugees, and failed states brought on by slowing food production.Liz Shuler: Organizing Labor and Opening New Industries
May 13, 2010We have all seen the job market changing radically in a variety of ways. Not only is there more freelance, more contract, and more part time jobs, but some industries are dissolving all together while new ones rise to take their places. What does this mean for the future of labor movements, unemployment, and the work place?The NAACP at 100: Race and Economics in America Today
