Map of U.S. Interventions in Latin America and the Caribbean The design team of ILC.iNK created an extraordinary map of U.S. interventions in Latin America and the Caribbean. It lists the Republicans and Democrats who were U.S. presidents at the time of the interventions, which makes it a great educational tool and reminder for the election year; to create real change in the bi-partisan U.S. foreign policy towards Latin America, it'll take more than a change in the White House but the kind of hard and persistent grassroots organizing that has brought the victories that we are seeing in Latin America.

Last week we kicked off a hard-hitting ad campaign in Johannesburg Airport’s International Arrival Hall, South African Airways’ inflight magazine, and Google ads, calling on the South African government to ban the trade of lion bones to make fake ‘medicines’ sold in Asia. These ads -- now seen by passengers arriving into the biggest airport in the country -- call attention to the lion bone trade and the detrimental impact it may have on South Africa’s tourism industry. Thanks to everyone who donated to make this possible!
