Dozens of labor scholars, women’s groups, and Walmart activists issued a letter today asking Hillary Clinton to
use her deep Walmart ties to urge the mega-retailer to raise wages for their predominantly-female workforce.
The Walmart Corporation is the largest employer in the United States, employing about one in every hundred
Americans. Walmart pays hundreds of thousands of their workers less per hour, adjusted for inflation, than
minimum wage workers made 46 years ago. Seventy percent of the positions subject to Walmart’s hourly
poverty wage regime are held by women. Walmart could empower hundreds of thousands of female workers
by paying all of their workers at least $10.92, which is the inflation-adjusted wage that the lowest paid Walmart
workers -- under the leadership of their founder, Sam Walton -- earned in the late 1960’s.
In 1986, Hillary Clinton became Walmart’s first female director. During her six years as a Walmart board
member from 1986-1992, she pushed for women’s empowerment in management, but did not publicly champion
the wage plight of Walmart’s predominantly-female hourly workers.
Open Letter to President Obama Opposing Backdoors and Defective EncryptionAlvaro Lopez Ortega
Dear President Obama,
We the undersigned represent a wide variety of civil society organizations dedicated to protecting civil liberties, human rights, and innovation online, as well as technology companies, trade associations, and security and policy experts. We are writing today to respond to recent statements by some Administration officials regarding the deployment of strong encryption technology in the devices and services offered by the U.S. technology industry. Those officials have suggested that American companies should refrain from providing any products that are secured by encryption, unless those companies also weaken their security in order to maintain the capability to decrypt their customers’ data at the government’s request. Some officials have gone so far as to suggest that Congress should act to ban such products or mandate such capabilities
We urge you to reject any proposal that U.S. companies deliberately weaken the security of their products. We request that the White House instead focus on developing policies that will promote rather than undermine the wide adoption of strong encryption technology. Such policies will in turn help to promote and protect cybersecurity, economic growth, and human rights, both here and abroad.
Strong encryption is the cornerstone of the modern information economy’s security. Encryption protects billions of people every day against countless threats—be they street criminals trying to steal our phones and laptops, computer criminals trying to defraud us, corporate spies trying to obtain our companies’ most valuable trade secrets, repressive governments trying to stifle dissent, or foreign intelligence agencies trying to compromise our and our allies’ most sensitive national security secrets.
Encryption thereby protects us from innumerable criminal and national security threats. This protection would be undermined by the mandatory insertion of any new vulnerabilities into encrypted devices and services. Whether you call them “front doors” or “back doors”, introducing intentional vulnerabilities into secure products for the government’s use will make those products less secure against other attackers. Every computer security expert that has spoken publicly on this issue agrees on this point, including the government’s own experts.
In addition to undermining cybersecurity, any kind of vulnerability mandate would also seriously undermine our economic security. U.S. companies are already struggling to maintain international trust in the wake of revelations about the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs. Introducing mandatory vulnerabilities into American products would further push many customers—be they domestic or international, 2 individual or institutional—to turn away from those compromised products and services. Instead, they—and many of the bad actors whose behavior the government is hoping to impact—will simply rely on encrypted of
1) The document discusses the ongoing debate around raising the minimum wage and ensuring workers earn a living wage. It notes minimum wage has not kept up with cost of living, leaving many workers in poverty.
2) It provides background on minimum wage increases over time from $0.16/hour in 1916 to $9/hour currently in California. Cities like Los Angeles are considering raising it to $13.25-$15 but disagree on when and how much.
3) The document argues corporations profit while taxpayers subsidize low wages through social services for workers. Raising the minimum wage to $15 would be a step towards reducing poverty but not eliminate it. Education is key to improving wages long term.

This document discusses strategies to reduce poverty among women in the United States. It notes that many women live in or near poverty due to low wages, lack of education, and single motherhood. It then outlines a three-part anti-poverty strategy: implementing workplace reforms like paid family leave; eliminating higher costs for women's products known as the "pink tax"; and reforming childcare to make it more affordable and accessible for low-income families. The strategy aims to improve women's financial security and ability to participate fully in the workforce through these policy changes.

Wal-Mart faces a class action lawsuit from female employees claiming gender discrimination. Six women sued Wal-Mart on behalf of 1.5 million female employees, alleging that women are paid less than men even with similar experience, receive fewer promotions, and lack equal training and job opportunities. Statistical analyses of employee records found that earnings and promotion rates for women at Wal-Mart lagged behind those of men with similar qualifications. While Wal-Mart disputed the claims and said it had diversity programs, experts hired by the plaintiffs concluded that subjective decision-making by managers allowed gender stereotypes to negatively influence women's careers at the company.

National Organization for Women, “Statement of Purpose” (1966)
National Organization for Women, “Statement of Purpose” (1966)
The National Organization for Women was founded in 1966 by prominent American feminists, including Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisolm, and others. The organization’s “statement of purpose” laid out the goals of the organization and the targets of its feminist vision.
We, men and women, who hereby constitute ourselves as the National Organization for Women, believe that the time has come for a new movement toward true equality for all women in America, and toward a fully equal partnership of the sexes, as part of the world-wide revolution of human rights now taking place within and beyond our national borders.
The purpose of NOW is to take action to bring women into full participation in the mainstream of American society now, exercising all the privileges and responsibilities thereof in truly equal partnership with men.
We believe the time has come to move beyond the abstract argument, discussion and symposia over the status and special nature of women which has raged in America in recent years; the time has come to confront, with concrete action, the conditions that now prevent women from enjoying the equality of opportunity and freedom of which is their right, as individual Americans, and as human beings.
NOW is dedicated to the proposition that women, first and foremost, are human beings, who like all other people in our society, must have the chance to develop their fullest human potential. We believe that women can achieve such equality only by accepting to the full the challenges and responsibilities they share with all other people in our society, as part of the decision-making mainstream of American political, economic and social life.
We organize to initiate or support action, nationally, or in any part of this nation, by individuals or organizations, to break through the silken curtain of prejudice and discrimination against women in government, industry, and professions, the churches, the political parties, the judiciary, the labor unions, in education, science, medicine, law, religion and every other field of importance in American society. Enormous changes taking place in our society make it both possible and urgently necessary to advance the unfinished revolution of women toward true equality now. With a life span lengthened to nearly 75 years it is no longer either necessary or possible for women to devote the greatest part of their lives to child-rearing; yet childbearing and rearing which continues to be a most important part of most women’s lives — still is used to justify barring women from equal professional and economic participation and advance.

Here is a draft essay analyzing the narrative voice in Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey:
The Powerful Narrative Voice in Northanger Abbey
Jane Austen is renowned for her witty social commentary and realistic portrayals of 19th century English society. In Northanger Abbey, published posthumously in 1818, Austen employs a unique narrative voice that stands out from her contemporaries. Rather than attempting to conceal her presence, Austen boldly inserts her own opinions and addresses the reader directly. Through this direct narrative voice, Austen is able to satirize the Gothic novel genre and comment on Catherine Morland's naivety and growth into a more perceptive heroine.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
Letter to Hillary Clinton about Walmart Wages Signed by Academics
1. Hillary Clinton
15 Old House Lane,
Chappaqua, NY 10514
April 22, 2014
Dear Hillary Clinton,
As First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State, and in your recent work with the Clinton Global Initiative,
you have advocated for the cause of women’s empowerment around the world. Today we write to ask
you to also join us in an important women’s empowerment initiative here at home. It involves an area to
which you have a special connection and thus presents you, specifically, with an important responsibility
to make a direct difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of American women and an indirect
difference in millions more.
The Walmart Corporation is the largest employer in the United States, employing about one in every
hundred Americans. Unfortunately, America’s largest employer sets a horrible example with its miserly
wage policy. Walmart pays hundreds of thousands of their workers less per hour, adjusted for
inflation, than minimum wage workers made 46 years ago. With rising housing, health and
transportation costs, Walmart workers cannot make ends meet on less than $10, $9 or even, for some,
$8 an hour. The cashiers and hourly sales associates at the White Plains Walmart close to your house,
for example, live in a city with a living wage of -- as estimated by the MIT Living Wage Calculator --
$13.05, but most hourly Walmart workers are paid thousands of dollars per year below that standard.
It’s no surprise that one Walmart manager even admitted this disconnect between Walmart pay and fair
pay by placing a bin out last holiday season to solicit donations from customers for his own needy
workers.
Seventy percent of the positions subject to Walmart’s hourly poverty wage regime are held by
women. Most of these women are managed by men, who -- despite making up a minority of the
company’s employees -- make up a majority of Walmart’s managers and officials. Irregular schedules
and a miserly sick day policy make Walmart a difficult place for mothers to work. Take as an example
one 33-year-old mother of two featured on ABC News a few years ago: she had to leave her daughter
at home with a 103-degree fever because she was worried about her three sick day “demerits” issued
by her Walmart manager. Worse over, Walmart’s poverty wage regime drives down the wages and
benefits of neighboring stores, again disproportionately hurting women, who make up the majority of the
low-wage workforce in America.
Walmart could end this assault on their female “associates” by paying all their workers at
least $10.92, which is the inflation-adjusted wage that the lowest paid Walmart workers -- under their
2. founder, Sam Walton -- earned in the late 1960’s. Before Walton’s billionaire heirs cry ‘Impossible!’,
remember: (1) Walmart pays all their workers in Ontario, Canada and Santa Fe, New Mexico over
$10 an hour and still remains quite profitable;; (2) Walmart had enough funds to issue $51 billion in stock
buybacks over the past five years, which could have given every American Walmart worker a $3.50
per hour raise over the past five years;; and (3) a 2011 U.C. Berkeley economic study showed that even
if Walmart raised its starting wage to $12 and passed all the costs onto customers, it would only cost
Walmart shoppers 46 cents more per shopping trip.
In 1986, when Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas, you reflected a single case of women’s
empowerment at Walmart by becoming Walmart’s first female director. During your six years as a
Walmart board member, you honorably pushed for women’s empowerment. Twenty eight years later,
we are asking you to make far broader history again for women at Walmart by publicly
pressuring your former board to end its poverty wage regime and restore the wages of
hundreds of thousands of its female associates.
Here are four ways you can immediately activate your deep Walmart ties to help this important feminist
cause:
1. Publicly encourage former Walmart CEO H. Lee Scott, who had dinner at your home in
2006, to build on his minimum wage raise support from nine years ago by urging his successor
C. Douglas McMillon to follow in his footsteps by endorsing a minimum wage raise this year.
2. Publicly encourage Alice Walton, the Walmart heiress who donated $25,000 to Ready for
Hillary last year, to use her power as a major shareholder to force a raise in the wages of the
hundreds of thousands of Walmart associates who make less in a year of work than Walton
does in 10 minutes from interest on her inheritance.
3. Publicly encourage Clinton administration advisor Leslie Dach, who you have worked
with on labor issues recently, to leverage his role as a former Walmart executive vice president
to pressure his successors to end Walmart’s poverty wage regime.
4. Publicly encourage Walmart director Aida Alvarez, who campaigned for you and was
your husband’s final Small Business Administration leader, to coordinate with other social
justice-minded Walmart directors -- such as former Detroit mayor Dennis Archer and civil
rights activist Vilma Martinez -- to end Walmart’s poverty wage regime.
Campaign funders like Alice Walton might be ‘Ready for Hillary’ to run for President in 2016, but
Walmart’s women have been ‘Ready for Hillary’ to stand up for the wages they deserve this year. It
would be a shame to have your trailblazing legacy of Walmart women empowerment rolled back. We
3. hope you can keep it alive by pressuring your former Walmart colleagues to raise the wages of its
predominantly-female hourly workforce to $11, their inflation-adjusted 1968 level. This is no big deal:
the workers have more than earned an $11 per hour wage, had it taken from them by inflation year after
year, and will continue to until they can catch up with 1968, inflation adjusted.
