During the era of China’s one-child policy, experts estimate that thousands of boys went missing, with trafficking being fueled by parents seeking a son to carry on the family line. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/04/asia-pacific/society/china-sons-one-child-era/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #china #families #population

I’m so ashamed …
This week, the UK Home Secretary proposed shocking #asylum reforms that could seize the possessions and jewellery of people seeking #safety, cut off their support and tear apart #families who have built their lives here.
This is performative cruelty reminiscent of #Nazi Germany.
Sign and share this urgent letter to stop the #UK government punishing #innocent families fleeing #war.

This is #Chicago
Chicagoans buy out street vendors amid #Trump #immigration crackdown
The cyclists arrive at sunrise, rolling through Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods & stopping at tamale carts, elote stands & candy stalls. They buy out every last item — every tamale, every corn cob, every bundle of sweets. Then they load up the food & deliver it to #shelters & #families in need.

In US first, #NewMexico launches #free #childcare for all
Saturday NM became the first #US state to offer free child care to all residents in a bid to boost its #economy & lift #education & #ChildWelfare levels…
NM Gov Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) told reporters #child #care was "the backbone of creating a system of support for families that allows them to work, to go to college, to do all the things they need to do to continue to lift New Mexico out of #poverty."

Under the program, #families, regardless of income, can receive #state #vouchers to cover #public & #private #childcare fees. It culminates efforts #NewMexico has made to expand access to #free #child #care since the governor & state legislature created the Early Childhood #Education & Care Department in 2019.
The launch comes as other #Democratic-run states, cities & counties eye a step popular among working families.

Brandon Lee, spox for the #Illinois Coalition for #Immigrant & #Refugee Rights, said the group was working to identify those taken in the raid.
“It was a #violent show of force in the middle of the night,” Lee said. “Taking #families out of an apartment building in a residential neighborhood like that is harmful, is #traumatic, & that is not something that people can easily recover from, whether they themselves were taken or whether they witnessed it.”
Jones, who lives on the 4th floor, said most of his neighbors were #Venezuelan & often took turns cleaning the hallway because the property owners did little to maintain it.
“They were cool people,” Jones said as he looked into his next door neighbor’s unit. “They didn’t speak a lick of English, but we used translator apps to talk to each other.”
Jones wondered what would happen to his neighbor’s young #children.

With many people cancelling their streaming services, we want to point out that many of the films in our library stream for free!
They may be on free platforms like Kanopy, or the filmmakers may put them on YouTube or Vimeo. Some filmmakers also offer special free educational licenses or even packages.
The educational game in our collection called "Walden, a game", also offers a free version to educators.
How to find our free films
1. Check out the films in our resource library.
2. Look for viewing details in the "Where to Watch" section of a film's page.
3. If that takes you to a link on JustWatch.com, make sure to adjust the site to your own country settings for local results.
