New Report Examines Structural Racism’s Effect on Covid-19 Pandemic
WASHINGTON, July 13, 2021 (Newswire.com) - BLK Uprising has released its report on structural racism in the U.S. under the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to the report, multiple factors contributed to the high percentage of deaths in minority populations throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. The report examines how minorities are exposed to more air and water pollution making people more susceptible to a virus like Covid-19. Also, minority populations having less adequate housing, lacking access to healthy food, and lacking or having no health insurance were also contributing factors to Covid-19 infections. The report provides a complete picture of how the effects of structural racism impact the health of minorities.
With this new information at hand, BLK Uprising is calling on federal, state, and local governments, as well as NGOs and minority issue advocacy groups, to push for healthcare for all (Medicare for All / Single Payer Healthcare), reparations (direct payments and community investment), and affordable and safe housing. As explained in the report, repairing the structural issues in healthcare and housing are critical to improving the overall health and well-being of black, brown, and indigenous communities.

Pan-American Prosperity Institute June 11 Webinar: ‘QUO Vadis Brazil?’ to Discuss Liberty, Current Politics...
The Pan-American Prosperity Institute, a non-profit organization that seeks to foster a closer relationship among countries in the American continent and to increase the exchange of ideas, values, businesses and people that promote prosperity in the region, has been closely monitoring the political developments in Brazil, given recent signs of political instability. This development has been under gestation as soon as Jair Bolsonaro was elected president.
The Bolsonaro administration seems to be facing a concerted attack from the political establishment that appears to favor left-leaning visions for Brazil. This vision posits strengthened regulations, income distribution and attacks against freedom of speech. Given the predominance of this vision in most institutions, an environment of stalemate and of overreach has consolidated. And, contrary to the popular belief, most of the overreach has not been caused by the executive power, but by the legislative and judicial powers.
Brazil also lacks independent media. Foreign and local interests predominate in media. These interests favor statism, rent extraction and limitations to free speech. Governments usually controlled the media through generous procurement of advertising revenues. The Bolsonaro administration did away with the practice. As a result, most media have turned against its policies. This has provoked a stampede away from traditional media and into digital platforms, as Brazilians seek to be better informed.
As alternative media flourished in the same time that some traditional media outlets started to lose credibility, by 2014, libertarian and conservative thinkers and activists began to populate and then lead cyber space, developing strong followings. These activists, however, are now being harassed on account of their opinions about the Supreme Court’s lack of impartiality.
As a direct result from the traditional lack of media independence, Brazilians came to cherish social media channels run by political activists since 2014. Most of them had either a conservative or liberal perspective and some became politicians in the 2018 elections. Under the pretense of investigating "fake news," the Supreme Court is now impinging upon the freedom of expression in Brazil. Liberal and conservative activists are being summoned by the federal police to subject themselves to an interrogation that violates Miranda rights and other democratic procedures.
In light of these developments, the Pan-American Prosperity Institute would like to invite everyone who is interested to watch the “QUO VADIS BRAZIL?” online panel discussion, where the honorable Luiz Philippe Braganca, congressman and member of the Brazilian Imperial Family, will discuss all the topics mentioned above. The webinar will be broadcast online via YouTube on Thursday, June 11, at 6 p.m. ET at the following address: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7j5yVBYm3w&feature=youtu.be.

Well-Known Defense Attorney Ben Newman Launches Full-Time Dispute Resolution Career
Florida Mediator Benjamin W. 'Ben' Newman
Ben Newman's first day as a UWWM panel member is Oct. 7, but dates are being scheduled now.
Benjamin W. "Ben" Newman, a 25-year litigator, will begin his full-time dispute resolution practice with Upchurch Watson White & Max Mediation Group on Oct. 7.
His litigation practice spanned Florida from the Panhandle to the Keys; most recently, he was a partner with Wilson Elser, one of the largest and most well-known litigation firms nationwide. During his legal career, Newman consistently tried high-stakes, high-dollar cases throughout the state, developing expertise in the practice areas of medical malpractice, nursing home litigation, insurance defense, and product liability, and other matters involving issues of catastrophic injury or wrongful death.
Newman also represented small- and medium-sized businesses, Fortune 500 companies and government agencies in such matters as catastrophic transportation liability. Other high-profile clients included nationally renowned physicians and premier teaching hospitals, as well as dentists, nurses, paramedics, podiatrists, radiologists, pathologists, counselors, social workers and other members of the allied health professions, in addition to managed care organizations and privately run emergency rooms. His familiarity with the substance and nuances of most medical specialties not only drew a large clientele but also built demand for his presentations and seminars on a variety of liability and risk management issues among health care and insurance professionals.
Newman already has served as a federal- and state-certified mediator or a Florida Supreme Court-qualified arbitrator in a considerable number of matters, and he combines his experience as a professional neutral and as a litigator to embark on this new chapter. “We look forward to welcoming Ben to our distinguished panel of neutrals," said John Upchurch, founding principal and CEO of UWWM. "He brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the table, especially in the health care arena, which is a major focus of our overall mission.”
Over the years, Newman has gained a reputation for building relationships, and he promises to bring "a unique perspective to alternative dispute resolution and work tirelessly with attorneys and their clients to achieve a successful resolution in mediations and arbitration proceedings."
