Elizabeth Eames Roebling is professional journalist with a permanent press card from the United Nations Office of the Inter Press Service. InterPressService (IPS.Net) covers the global South with in depth articles that focus primarily on issues development, the environment, and the status of women. IPS has a team of international translators and Roebling's work, which covered the Dominican Republic and the Haitian Border from the years 2008-2016, has been translated into 5 languages. Born and raised in Greenwich Village, New York City, during the flowering to the folk scene and the Civll Rights movement, she has been marching for one good cause or another since she was 14. Her passiona and Quaker commitment to peace and social justice have landed her in prison three times - once in England during the height of The Troubles in 1979, and once in Vieques, Puerto Rico during their fight to end the use to that inhabited island as a bombing range, and in the Dominican Republic. Now, reasonably quietly retired in Florida, she confines her activism primarily to the internet.
