Act Out! [124] - From Charlottesville with Resolve + Indigenous Youth Paddle to Protect

Act Out! [124] - From Charlottesville with Resolve + Indigenous Youth Paddle to Protect
Wed, 8/16/2017 - by Eleanor Goldfield
This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

This week on Act Out!, a special episode to discuss what happened last weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia. Note: we will not show the video.

Next, we take a look at an old decaying pipeline, a brand new one and the company that craves more land and water for the sake of black gold. We talk with two indigenous youth activists standing up to the company and taking to the water to raise awareness and build resistance: Stop Line 3 and Paddle to Protect. From tweets to marching in the streets, this is Act Out!

Democrats Have a Massive Opportunity as a Pure Opposition Party
