The document discusses the importance of national parks and conservation efforts in the United States. It notes concerns that increasing population growth and development could reduce natural spaces. National parks help preserve biodiversity and habitats from threats like pollution, deforestation, and habitat destruction. The Organic Act of 1916 established the National Park Service to conserve scenery, wildlife, and historical sites for future generations. National parks raise money for conservation through tourism and volunteer programs.
The purpose of per is to review and assess the status of forests in India, analyze the trends in production and consumption of forest products, estimate demand and supply of forest products in relation to build national economy with sound environment.
The technology of social change: 2015 Nonprofit Tech Conference IgniteCoLab Coop
At a tech conference it's natural to give a lot of attention to really cool technology. But too often successful social movements are only examined on the surface, and from Tahrir Square to Ferguson all we hear are cries of the "Twitter revolution" or criticisms of "slacktivism." We need to go deeper. We need to look at how social justice works, apply it to your own situation, and then pick the tools that support that work. While I work as a freelance web developer, my degree is in social movement theory and my background is community organizing, and I spent a few minutes talking about what really powers successful social change
TRANSCRIPT
Some of you already know lots about social justice; you've been working harder and fighting longer than I've been alive. But others are newer to this, or ended up here via a marketing or fundraising route, so I want to talk a little bit about the technology of social change.
In popular culture, we have two stories we usually tell about social change -- two lenses in which we view advocacy and activism. The first is about an inspiring leader. Like Rosa Parks, who we hear was too tired to get up and prompted a city to boycott a racist public policy.
The second story we tell is about a spontaneous event. Something shifted in the world around us, and people responded in positive ways. Egyptians took to the square, and to Facebook, to reclaim their democracy.
While both of these stories have kernels of truth -- events happen, and people inspire -- they are fundamentally not how social change occurs. Instead, it's movement-building work that pushes change forward.
Rosa Parks wasn't just tired -- she was trained, as these photos from the Highlander Folk School show. The Egyptian revolution didn't just happen, it was preceded by years of student organizing, shown in the Atavist article “The Instigators.”
The most successful social change movements didn't just get lucky or figure out how to use the newest tools, they were built through concerted strategic planning. Catalyst moments might be unplanned, but the infrastructure can be built ahead of time.
Now, in our organizations, we tend to privilege one set of actions over the other. We focus on important task-based work like website development, fundraising, communications, and the campaign strategy I just mentioned.
But there's more to an organization and more to a movement than that. There's another group of endeavors sometimes called maintenance work, and it flies under the radar even though it's crucial to keeping our campaigns afloat.
Maintenance work involves things like leadership development, facilitating communication, conflict resolution, anti-oppression work, and visioning, the things that fertilize our movements.
We often privilege task work over maintenance work. Community knowledge and strategic knowledge are devalued in favor of technical knowledge, because technical knowledge can be more easily measured.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
