They say that April showers bring May flowers, but here in Austin, Texas, it looks like June has brought the monsoon. The central Texas hill country has been hit hard this month with some heavy rain fall causing floods that left some people without homes. This just goes to show that it can happen to anyone, at any time, and all it can take is an act of nature to confront us with the reality of losing everything. Knowing that, we can practice ‘Gratitude’ for what we do have, as Fred Pettit shares with us in his story on page one of this months edition.
This month is jammed with plenty of other great writing, so much so, that on this rare occasion we’ve selected not one, but TWO featured online articles for you to enjoy. The first is Blue Water Ninja, by Leefrnk, and the second is A System of Terror Against Blacks, Latinos, and Native Americans, by Sue Gabriel. If you enjoy these articles, why not make a small donation and pick up a fresh PDF copy of the paper below. Your contributions directly support the many writers and distributors of the Challenger Newspaper working to lift themselves out of poverty and life on the streets.
Thanks as always for your support!
