Or imagine developing an innovative plan for more flexible at-home work options that will reduce your company’s carbon emissions and save your employer money. Your manager, instead of praising your efforts, admonishes you and tells you to focus on your core work — not to “rock the boat.” Workers around the world face dilemmas like these on a regular basis. At their core, they touch on the notion of worker…

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are digital objects that represent something else, such as a work of art, a video or even a tweet. They certify the existence and the ownership of this item through a data recording on a blockchain (a distributed ledger technology). Since the emergence of NFTs in 2016, many artists have experimented with this new digital device to market their creations. NFTs are most often bought and resold via auction sites, where payments are made in cryptocurrency (such as ether currency). It is this notion of a certificate registered on a blockchain that distinguishes an NFT from a…
Fire Drill Fridays—the climate action protest launched three years ago by actor and activist Jane Fonda—returned Friday morning to Washington, D.C., where participants rallied and marched against U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin’s “dirty deal” while demanding President Joe Biden declare a climate emergency.”What we do or fail to do in the next eight to 10 years to cut our fossil fuel emissions in half will determine how much of a livable future we will have.””Organizing does not stop after an election, does it? We must hold the folks we got into office accountable to us, not to oil companies, because the…
History was made by Morocco, the first African and first Arab team to advance to a semi-final at the men’s football World Cup.

As magical as Morocco’s win seems, one should not ignore the reality that no…
Mr. Bauer believes that Haiti is facing an unprecedented crisis, which could get even worse.

In the Cité Soleil neighborhood of Port-au-Prince, 19,000 people are suffering in the ‘catastrophe’ level on the global scale for measuring food insecurity. In the 1980s, I used to visit Haiti on family trips; my mother fled to the US in the 1960s…
