Websites for Issues of Interest
NOTE: If you try to open a site and get a message that says the site cannot be displayed if another site has embedded it, open the site in a new tab or window.

For the most part, all of these sites contain articles on the topic of interest, papers, news items, and links to like sites. There is a lot of information contained here. Hopefully, it will give you food for thought, and make you aware of some of the issues. I have tried to add a blurb after each site. For the most part, this information comes from their own website, either from their mission statement, or their 'about us' section. Hope you enjoy the sites. I will add more as I run across them.
