University of California Divests $25 Million From Private Prison Companies

The University of California (UC) system has announced that it will no longer invest in private prison companies and divested the $25 million it held in GEO Group Inc, G4S, and the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), according to the Los Angeles Times.

More of this should happen. 

Columbia University, now UofC... All education places should follow suit and divest too. I’ll never understand for-profit prisons, many more built when schools and higher ed places are not built at the same rate. The worst of any of these, is the for-profit prisons have a deal with the states that there has to be a minimum occupancy at any given time.... wth? The state has to provide prisoners at a certain rate, all year round. And people wonder why Baltimore sent so many to jail for the littlest of things, or for no reason at all. 

Sigh.

Faith leaders need to find their voice on climate change

Saving the Earth and its peoples from dangerous climate change is an economic, social and environmental issue – and a moral and ethical one too that goes to the core of many if not all of the world’s great faiths.

Unchecked, the rise in greenhouse gas emissions is likely to visit ever higher high levels of suffering on the vulnerable, the marginalised and indeed people everywhere.
