#ICYMI After 16 years, Al Shimari v. CACI has gone to trial and is now awaiting a verdict. The suit alleges the U.S.-based govt contractor participated in a conspiracy to commit unlawful conduct including torture + war crimes at Abu Ghraib prison.
NEW VIDEO! Our landmark lawsuit Al Shimari v. CACI, a federal lawsuit filed in 2008 and brought on behalf of three Iraqi torture victims, has finally gone to trial.
A major pillar of corporate globalization is crumbling. ISDS lets corporations sue govt’s over public interest policies in shady int’l courts. But that system is now on the ropes thanks to a series of recent victories of our global movement. @ryangrim breaks it down. 🧵
11 years ago, the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh collapsed. The accident killed more than 1,000 garment workers. It's time to put an end to fast fashion, which continues to crush workers and destroy the planet. greenpeace.org/international/…
