On Sunday, 200,000 activists had planned to converge on the Place de la République for @cop21fr, in solidarity with fellow climate-change demonstrators around the globe. The scheme was peaceful but would have been a nightmare for security services, and following attacks in the city on November 13, the government instituted emergency measures that included certain restrictions on the freedom to assemble. Instead, @avaazorg, the well-connected international NGO that organized the original rally, staged a simple workaround: The marchers were banned, sure—but Hollande never said anything about their shoes.

Photo by Aaron Turner (@ilikevans1) #onassignment for Pacific Standard’s Nov/Dec issue: I met Terrence Davenport on my first day in Dumas, Arkansas. He studied chemical engineering at the University of Arkansas and also grew up in the Delta between Dumas and Pine Bluff. Terrence has lived in Dumas for the last couple of years working for a non-profit teaching workshop on social media marketing and many other tech skills. I asked him about living and working in the region: “I love it, it’s my passion. Most people want to learn. It takes a certain type of person to adjust to the pace of life here in the rural Delta, someone patient and who has compassion.” #behindthescenes #journalism #arkansas #delta #teaching #nonprofit #photo #photography #southern #south #makeadifference #teach #thefutureofwork #psmag #nonprofit #educate
