As Sanders Prepares to Endorse Clinton, How Far Left Has He Pushed the Democratic Party Platform?
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is expected to endorse former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today at a joint rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The rally comes less than two weeks before the start of the Democratic National Convention. Clinton assumed the mantle of the party’s presumptive nominee after winning the California primary in June, but Sanders refused to concede the nomination in part to give his campaign greater power to push the party to adopt a more progressive platform. On Sunday Sanders sent out a release praising the adoption of what he called the "most progressive platform in the history of the Democratic Party." We speak to Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN). He was one of the five people picked by Bernie Sanders to serve on the Democratic National Convention’s Platform Committee. "It takes a position in favor of $15 and a union for a federal minimum wage.
Second chance for RTA swan
Simon was recently called out to a swan that had been hit by a car in Leatherhead town centre. The town centre is just a few minutes away from WAF HQ, so he was there in no time!

Two members of the public had managed to corral the swan into a nearby carpark, but it was still very mobile! After a quick chase, Simon managed to catch it and, after a quick check up by our vet, Emma, it luckily proved to be unscathed!

Following a short rest and some food, it was back to the wild for this youngster; we wish it the best of luck!
Baby Chicks Ground Up Alive at Sanderson Farms Hatchery
At a massive hatchery operated by Sanderson Farms, which supplies chicken meat to Walmart, Sysco, Arby's, and other companies, a PETA eyewitness documented newborn chicks left to languish in barren plastic crates, sometimes near the bodies of birds who had already died.

"Late hatchers"—chicks who didn't hatch at the same time as the other birds—are ground up alive. Every year, the egg and poultry industries kill millions of baby birds.

Please, don't be a part of this cruelty. The next time you're at the grocery store, choose vegan. Because if you don't help stop this, who will?

As Protests Erupt Nationwide, New Video of Off-Duty NYPD Cop Killing Delrawn Small Sparks Outrage
Protests against police brutality erupted across the United States over the weekend, with tens of thousands of people taking to the streets and blocking roads, bridges and highways in more than a dozen U.S. cities. Hundreds of people were arrested nationwide. The protests were sparked by the police killing of two African American men last week — Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. But another recent police shooting has gone largely unnoticed by national media. On July 4, off-duty New York police officer Wayne Isaacs shot and killed Delrawn Small, an unarmed African American man. Police officers initially claimed Small punched officer Isaacs in the face following a driving confrontation. But surveillance video that has just been released counters that claim, and instead shows the off-duty officer shooting Small within one second of Small approaching the vehicle. 
Death, Abuse and Sexual Assault: The Horrific and Unregulated Private Prison Extradition Industry
As protests against police brutality spread across the United States, a shocking new joint investigation by the New York Times and the Marshall Project looks at a little-examined part of the criminal justice system: the horrific, and sometimes fatal, private prison extradition industry. Each year, tens of thousands of fugitives and suspects — many who have never been convicted of a crime — are entrusted to a handful of small private companies that specialize in transferring the men and women across the country. After reviewing thousands of court documents and interviewing more than 50 current or former guards and executives, two reporters with the Marshall Project uncovered cases two prisoners dying of perforated ulcers, another woman was sexually assaulted and a third who had to have both legs amputated from complications of untreated diabetes
Rep. Keith Ellison: Don't Try Philando Castile's Killer In "Whitewashed" Grand Jury System
More than 300 people were arrested over the weekend as protests against police brutality erupted in more than a dozen U.S. cities over the fatal police shootings of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. Philando Castile’s death comes on the heels of massive protests over another fatal police shooting in Minnesota last year: the police killing of Jamar Clark. Authorities say Clark was shot in the head after a scuffle with officers who responded to a report of an assault. But multiple witnesses say Clark was shot while handcuffed. For more we speak with Minnesota Democratic Representative Keith Ellison. He is also one of the five people picked by Bernie Sanders to serve on the Democratic National Committee platform drafting committee.

Historian: "You Can't Disconnect History of the 2nd Amendment From the History of White Supremacy"
President Obama is speaking in Dallas, Texas, today at a memorial service for the five Dallas police officers killed by a sniper Thursday evening. Dallas authorities said Micah Johnson, the sniper, managed to amass a personal arsenal including a semiautomatic SKS rifle, bomb-making materials, bulletproof vests and ammunition. Over the weekend President Obama warned that the easy access to guns nationwide has exacerbated divisions between the police and local communities. We speak to Gerald Horne, an expert on the Second Amendment from the founding of the Ku Klux Klan to the Black Panthers. Horne is a professor of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston.

Filmmaker Josh Fox: Sanders Pushed Party Platform to Left, But We Failed on TPP, Medicare, Gaza
The Democratic Party platform committee held its last meeting in Orlando, Florida, over the weekend ahead of the party’s convention at the end of this month. The meeting of Clinton and Sanders delegates resulted in what’s being called the most liberal Democratic platform in a generation. The draft platform still needs to be ratified at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, but it is already widely being touted as a victory for Sanders. Sanders appointed five members to the committee earlier this year, including scholar and racial justice activist Cornel West, leading environmentalist and 350.org co-founder Bill McKibben and Minnesota Congressmember Keith Ellison, who chairs the House Progressive Caucus. The new platform includes Sanders’ call for a $15 per hour minimum wage, Social Security expansion and a carbon tax to price its impact on the environment. We speak with award-winning documentary filmmaker and Sanders delegate Josh Fox.
