FEATURING INGRID CRUZ - The issue of immigration tends to reach a fever pitch during election years. But organizers work continuously between election cycles for immigrant rights. In a new op-ed for YES! Magazine Ingrid Cruz makes an honest assessment of the movement and the internal challenges it faces, especially given the increasing racial, ethnic, and national diversity within its ranks.

FEATURING EMILY PETERSON-CASSIN - The Department of Justice has launched a lawsuit against Live Nation and its ownership of Ticketmaster. According to AP, “Ticketmaster is the world’s largest ticket seller, processing 500 million tickets each year in more than 30 countries. Around 70% of tickets for major concert venues in the U.S. are sold through Ticketmaster.” The lawsuit is seeking to challenge Ticketmaster’s monopoly power over artist performances, venues, and concert goers. Will it work?

FEATURING ZAHRA BILLOO - An Israeli strike on a refugee camp in Rafah has killed at least 45 people and injured more than 200. Palestinians displaced by many months of genocidal assault had fled to the area in Rafah, designated by Israel as safe, before being bombarded with Israeli bombs. Eyewitness accounts say there was fire everywhere and that people, mostly women and children, were burned alive.
Meanwhile, rather than focus on U.S. backing of Israel’s genocide, American elected officials have been continuing to hold hearings on antisemitism and campus protests for Gaza, grilling university officials for allowing pro-Palestinian student activism.

The summer 2024 issue of YES! Magazine has been hitting newsstands and landing in mail boxes around the country. And, as we do every quarter, we’ll preview this latest issue of the solutions journalism magazine where I work as Senior Editor. The issue is themed around “Access,” and in her Editor’s Letter, YES! Executive Editor Evette Dionne asks the question, “what if we lived in a world where access—to medical treatment, to the workplace, to basic enjoyment— was not treated as an afterthought, but was embedded in every element of our society instead?”

FEATURING CHRISTINE AHN & MARIE BERRY - Hillary Clinton, former Senator and State Secretary, recently made headlines for dismissing campus protesters against the genocide in Gaza as being ignorant of the history of the Middle East. Liberal feminists like Clinton have often equated freedom for women with war making. At a recent Feminist Peace Summit held in Denver, Colorado, progressive women leaders pushed back against this notion and reaffirmed the consistency of feminism with peace and justice.

FEATURING ARUN GUPTA - The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor has said he is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli politicians including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the crime of genocide, and Hamas leaders, for other war crimes. Mr. Netanyahu remains defiant, as does U.S. President Joe Biden, who called the charges against the Israeli leader “outrageous.” Biden just gave the commencement address at Morehouse College in Atlanta, a Historically Black university, where some students silently protested his policy of continuing to arm Israel.
