[GPSCC-chat] Vigorous Climate Activism

[Drew]

Since we have decided to focus in our county on activism on the Climate Heating (and Medicare for All / SinglePayer) issue(s) here's an interesting resource I think we might want to connect with:


Peaceful Uprising

Empowering a Livable Future Through Nonviolent Action

How I heard about them:  KALW's program Your Call did a segment today called
"What Happens When People Challenge U.S. Government's Power Structure" (they also highlighted how the U.S. Gov. is being manipulated/controlled by big corporations -- in this case Big Energy.

You can listen to it at:

On Your Call, we’ll speak with filmmakers Beth and George Gage 
about the documentary film Bidder 70, which tells the story of Tim 
DeChristopher. In 2008, he derailed the Bush administration's Oil and 
Gas lease auction. After bidding $1.7 M, he won 22,000 acres of land 
with no intention to pay or drill. He will be released from jail soon 
after serving 18 months. How should power be challenged? It’s Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
