 ENVIRONMENT
FROM VW TO BRAZIL’S MINING DISASTER: 5 CORPORATE SCANDALS THAT DEFINED
2015 [19]OVERSTATED PROFITS, SECRETIVE LOBBYING, THE DIRTY SIDE OF
INDUSTRIES LAID BARE – 2015 SAW YET ANOTHER CLUTCH OF CORPORATE
SCANDALS. SUSTAINABILITY AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY MAY HAVE BECOME
WATCHWORDS FOR GLOBAL COMPANIES, BUT THIS DOESN’T SEEM TO HAVE STEMMED
THE BAD BEHAVIOUR OF SOME BUSINESSES.

Dear comrades of popular movements, unions, political parties, civil
society organizations, pastoral organizations and militants of our
peoples’ causes:
During the III International Conference "Dilemmas of the Humanity",
which gathered hundreds of militants from all continents, we perceived
the need of a fluid exchange of information about the struggles carried
out in our respective countries.
Mainly because systematized and politically emancipatory information
does not always reach militants as it should, despite the high amount of
news that surface on the internet. We also perceived the lack of a
communicational bond among the continents. And one of the biggest
obstacles for that is language.
Therefore, we decided to make a joint effort in order to publish a
newsletter in English language that covers news about the struggles of
the people.
In order to do this, we have joined forces with Resumen
Latinoamericano(digital medium and newspaper headquartered in Buenos
Aires), the Secretariat  of the Coalition of ALBA’s Social Movements
(which edit their own popular movements newsletter, that covers the
Americas) and comrades from the US.
Nonetheless, we do not wish for it to be a newsletter of the Americas
only; it is supposed to benefit all continents.
In order to achieve this objective, each movement, organization and/or
militant must make an effort to update us with content – news, photos,
struggles carried out in their countries–, so that our coverage
becomes as representative as possible. The more people collaborate, the
more representative of all continents our newsletter will be. We ask you
to send content to: news.thedawn@gmail.com
The newsletter will be sent regularly, and as more people take part in
this process, we hope it becomes better and widens its coverage.
If you have any suggestions on which organizations and/or people would
benefit from receiving this newsletter, we invite you to send their
e-mail to: secretaria@albamovimientos.org.br. This will allow us to add
them to our mailing lists.
Also, if you have any suggestions on how we can improve our newsletter,
feel free to do so through the same e-mail. Your suggestions will be
indeed welcome.
Finally, we encourage you to resend the content or freely distribute it
in any way you wish.
Fraternal regards,
Secretariat of ALBA’s Social Movements
