ACT OUT! EPISODE 7 - Water Shortages, Edward Snowden busted and the surveillance state

ACT OUT! EPISODE 7 - Water Shortages, Edward Snowden busted and the surveillance state
Wed, 4/15/2015
This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

This week we dive into the shallow waters of California’s extreme drought and what you can do about it (hint: it’s not just about cutting back on personal hygiene). We also take a look at Baltimore’s warning to over 25,000 people that their water will be shut-off. Is water a human right? Are low income residents the real ones to blame or could some other scum be lurking in these murky waters?

Shifting to Art with Teeth, we interview founder Keef Ward on why he handpicks thousands of social and political artists to showcase on his page, why art in activism is so important, and which artists you absolutely have to check out. Finally, we look at the renegade bust of Edward Snowden mounted by creative activists in Brooklyn – with an update on the surveillance state from the Front Lines.

Journalists have a responsibility to plainly tell the truth about how truly different the Democrats and the Republicans are today, especially with both democracy and the rule of law at stake this November.

From Hungary and Poland to Italy and Spain, today's anti-abortionist movements are feeding one another—while also driving a growing counter-movement.

Agriculture, the service economy, sexual exploitation, manufacturing, construction and domestic work drive today's enslavement around the world.

Thanks to the Electoral College, leftists have perhaps the final say this November over whether democracy can hold on for at least another four years, or if fascism will take root and infect all facets of the federal government for decades to come.

What remains unknown is whether post-truth Republicans will succeed in 2024 as the Nazis did in 1933.

History shows there are no “one-day” dictatorships. When democracies fall, they typically fall completely.
