Human trafficking survivor: I was raped 43,200 times - 0 views

  •  
    Mexico city has a town Tenancingo known for human trafficking. It's so close to home that it's time for more attention to be put toward human trafficking. Taking young girls as young as 12 is horrifying. There are young girls in the united states that deal with being trafficked as well. These are mothers, daughters, nieces, and people who don't need to be put through such a traumatizing event. When human trafficking is brought up corruption comes to mind as well. There comanly seem to be police, judges, and political figures within trafficking. These girls need help but it's hard to see where the help will come from.

Nearly 140,000 gallons of diesel mix spill from broken pipeline in Iowa - 0 views

  •  
    Work crews are cleaning up a spill of nearly 140,000 gallons of a diesel mix from a broken pipeline in north-central Iowa. The Mason City Globe Gazette reports that the leak from a 12-inch Magellan Midstream Partners pipe was discovered around 8 a.m. Wednesday north of Hanlontown. Another pipeline breach sends 140,000 gallons into the ecosystem of north-central Iowa. These breaches are all to common and the consequences are extremely high for a resource that in my opinion will be obsolete within the next 50yrs. Why are we still using it?

    I remember when this happened. My school was affected by it. Some of us students walked with them!
  •  
    I think this link is really cool because it avoids bias but also provides measures you can take while people are practicing their freedom of expression. It's good to have links like these in case you are overwhelmed, which many parents were in the time surrounding these protests.
  •  
    I was on my mission when this protest occurred, but I remember hearing about it. I think it's important for people to be paid what they deserve.
  •  
    It really is sad that it took such a huge movement of teachers risking their jobs to get the point that schools need more funding across. You would think that teachers would be paid fairly since they impact a students future the most.
