Story of the Week #784: TUESDAY April 27, 2021: LOST IN LIMBO by award winning photographer Raquel Natalicchio who specializes in social justice issues: In the weeks after Joe Biden’s inauguration, migrants in the city of Tijuana began to leave the shelters and apartments where they’d been living in favor of an outdoor encampment near the city’s center. In March, it had grown into a shantytown of more than 1,000 people, and today almost 2,000 migrants. In the small tent city people have little to eat and there’s no running water. But it has a prime location, its right across from the El Chaparral Port of Entry, the nearest legal crossing into the United States. Hoping that the doors to the USA might soon open, they set up camp at the very foot of the country’s entrance. Critics say the president’s welcoming tone is encouraging illegal immigration. But migrants themselves have a different view, that the real problem is that he hasn’t figured out what he wants to do. Welcome to: LOST IN LIMBO

zReportage.com Story of the Week #783: TUESDAY April 20, 2021: POISONED by award winning Tampa Bay Times photographers Martha Asencio Rhine, Dick Shadd, James Borchuck and Yalonda M. James: Hundreds of workers at a Tampa lead smelter have been exposed to dangerous levels of the neurotoxin. Gopher exposed workers for years to levels of lead in the air that were hundreds of times higher than the federal limit. The consequences have been profound. Tampa Bay Times reporters Corey G. Johnson, Rebecca Woolington and Eli Murray spent 18 months examining thousands of pages of regulatory reports and company documents, including data tracking the amount of lead in the air and in workers’ blood. OSHA The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is supposed to ensure that companies provide safe work environments. But the regulatory agency has repeatedly bungled the job at Gopher, allowing hazardous conditions to persist for years, a Tampa Bay Times investigation has found. Welcome to: POISONED

Protest Against Citizenship Amendment Act In India

Since the proposal of Citizenship Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens by PM Narendra Modi’s administration in Nov 2019, India has been brimming with indignations. 

In New Delhi and Mumbai, countless people especially women, students and children congregate in large numbers, organising marches, assemblies to demand for withdrawal of the two legislations deemed subverting muslims’ right to have citizenships and the fundamentals of asylum seekers. 

National flags of India, portraits of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar have been utilised as significations for the nationwide movement.
