REMEMBERING THE CHICANO MORATORIUM AGAINST THE VIETNAM WAR
On August 29, 1970, the Chicano Moratorium Against the Vietnam War mobilized the largest Chicano protest and the largest anti-war protest led by a community of color at the time. Combining a critique of US imperialism abroad and racism at home, the Chicano Moratorium was the result of years of organizing and consciousness raising by Chicano liberation activists around the country. Former Brown Beret Bill Gallegos and CSU Northridge professor Theresa Montaño join The Marc Steiner Show for a look back on the Chicano Moratorium and the struggle from which it arose. -- The Real News Network
America’s Most Fun State
“Yes, they seem to work quite well in generating awareness of a state and in creating a desire in consumers to visit to experience its attractions and points of interest firsthand. This, in turn, can drive economic growth as evidenced by several successful ad campaigns. In considering awareness alone, Massachusetts launched ‘Massachusetts for Us All,’ which ran from June to September 2023 on highway billboards and social media in Texas, Florida, New York, and New England. The campaign resulted in 1.6 million impressions and 12,000 websites visits. Turning now to economic growth, New Mexico has experienced substantial gains through its ‘New Mexico True’ campaign. The campaign was launched in 2012 with the purpose of showcasing the state as a destination for adventure with a rich cultural tapestry. The New Mexico tourism economy saw visitor spending increase 29% between 2013 and 2019. Following a 2020 drop that was precipitated by the Covid-19 pandemic, visitor spending exceeded 2019 levels as $7.2 billion was injected into the New Mexico economy by some 39 million visitors to the state. The success of these state-sponsored campaigns has been predicated on their effective execution and the fact that they have been targeted to an appropriate audience.”

4 tips from expert hikers on how to hit the trails early in L.A.
Few things are more iconic to the California desert than the Joshua tree. Unfortunately, these “spiky, Seussian succulents” are already under threat because of the worsening effects of climate change, reports Times environment reporter Alex Wigglesworth. A study found that, because of big swings in precipitation and warmer winters, Joshua trees are flowering more often. That’s great for our Instagram pages, but bad for the species. It could mean that seedlings, which need more water to thrive, aren’t surviving as frequently as prior years. The study’s author, Jeremy Yoder, associate professor of biology at Cal State Northridge, puts a fine point on why we must save these gorgeous succulents: “If we protect Joshua trees, we’re probably protecting this whole category of things that live in the desert.” -- Los Angeles Times
