Progressives Headline News from Democracy Now

May Day Protests Held Worldwide And today is May Day, the annual celebration of workers rights. Rallies are being held across the United States and around the world. As in years past, dozens of US demonstrations will also focus on immigration rights. At least seven marches have been organized in Los Angeles, while thousands are expected to converge on New Yorks Union Square.

UN: International Pledges Yet to Reach Gaza In Israel and the Occupied Territories, a top UN relief official says the Gaza Strip has yet to receive any of the $4.5 billion in reconstruction aid pledged by international donors. John Ging, the head of the UN Relief and Works Agency in Gaza, says Israeli restrictions on goods and the US-led boycott of Hamas have prevented basic goods from reaching Gaza. Ging said, Today the money is out there in pledges, and the people of Gaza continue to subsist in the rubble of their former lives, and the attention of the world has sadly moved on, which compounds the despair that people feel.

Group: Dont Scapegoat Mexicans in Swine Flu Coverage The National Association of Hispanic Journalists, meanwhile, is urging media outlets not to scapegoat Mexican immigrants in coverage of the swine flu crisis. In a statement, the group said, The temptationwill be to link Mexican immigrants with the spread of the disease to the United States. The consequencewill be even more angerand perhaps even more violenceagainst a community no more responsible for the spread of this ailment than U.S. tourists returning from vacations. US Rules Out Closing Border with Mexico in Flu Crisis Mexican health officials have raised their count of confirmed swine flu cases but say the number appears to be stabilizing. Three hundred people have contracted swine flu in Mexico, while another twelve people have died. The Obama administration is meanwhile rejecting calls to close the US border with Mexico. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano addressed the issue Thursday in Washington. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano: Closing the entire borders would have no benefit at this point, because the virus is already present in the United States. The comparison is clear: its like closing the barn door well after the horse has left. There are more than 100 confirmed swine flu cases in the US, with one death so far. The White House has also announced a federal agent who recently traveled with President Obama contracted swine flu last month. The agent has since recovered and is back at work. The White House says he did not come within sufficient range of President Obama to expose him to possible infection.
