Great Expectations

“If you succeed a great man or have a famous parent, you will have to accomplish double their achievements to outshine them.” - Robert Greene When considering whether or not to accept a leadership opportunity, do you rely on facts (thinking) or intuition (feeling)? Please explain.

Some funky pictures from the opening of the Tokyo Skytree: the world’s tallest broadcasting tower

The tower measures at 634 metres (2080 feet), and opened to the public on a grey, cloudy morning in Tokyo. Despite the weather, 8,000 visitors turned out to see the limited 360-degree views of the Japanese capital from two observation decks. Photos: Kimimasa Mayama/EPA, and Itsuo Inouye/AP

Stop Border Patrol Abuse!

Since 2010 Border Patrol agents have killed at least seven members of border communities and several others have been seriously injured. The Border Patrol has taken no known action against any of the agents involved. There also has been no investigation made public that will help families understand why their loved ones were killed or injured.

On Friday, April 20th, PBS’s Need to Know will air a half hour segment that will expose the excessive use of deadly force that has become routine for the Border Patrol.

Take Action!

Understanding the Root Causes of Violence in #Mexico

Laura Carlsen of the Center for International Policy links NAFTA to increased drug violence in Mexico and discusses how this trade agreement has been used to escalate the presence of United States intelligence and security agencies on Mexican territory, militarizing the drug war and leading to, especially along the border, a break down of the social fabric.

CALL TO PUBLIC ACTION AGAINST NOVARTIS IN NYC

Novartis has been attacking India’s patent law for six years, and if it wins, it could change the way drugs are patented in India, which would restrict the production of more affordable generic versions of drugs. Eighty percent of the medicines MSF uses to treat 170,000 people living with HIV in its projects today are sourced from Indian generic drug companies. The case is before India’s Supreme Court – the hearings start on 28th Feb.

Now it is time for us to join and support our colleague’s actions here in New York. We will be joining activists from Health GAP on Wednesday to protest Novartis’ case ahead of the company’s shareholder meeting.

Where? Novartis Corporation Corporate Communications 230 Park Avenue (between 46th & 45th) New York, NY 10169

When? Wednesday, February 22, 2012 - 11:30 AM New York, NY

What? Join activists to protest the Novartis case.

OTHER ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE:
Please sign and share this online petition

MSF’s Access Campaign has been in New Delhi working with Indian civil society groups to rally public support against Novartis’ case. Marches and press conferences are being organized in Mumbai near the Novartis India office for the week of February 28 to coincide with the Indian Supreme Court hearing.

Health GAP and ACT UP activists will be mobilizing Wednesday in Boston outside Novartis’ US office as well.
