Act Out! [25] - What #FergusonTaughtMe, pits of despair, street artist Morley & Wikileaks book
Wed, 8/19/2015 - by Eleanor Goldfield
This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

Ferguson one year later – what happened, what did we learn and what's next? Then, tar sands – from Secretary Kerry's front door to the oily pits of despair, we're gonna show you what activists are doing about this overused and crude fossil fuel, PLUS what YOU can do to tell big oil to go f*%@ themselves with a rusty oil pipe. Street artist Morley combats consumerism in its vapid capital, and finally, get cozy with Wikileaks. But first, how flat is your past?
