Act Out! [49] - Love & Fight on the Front lines, Military Buys, Take Aim and Fire

Act Out! [49] - Love & Fight on the Front lines, Military Buys, Take Aim and Fire
Wed, 2/10/2016 - by Eleanor Goldfield
This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

This week, I'll tell you what I'm not covering and then I think it's about time I uncovered those moments and times on the front lines --- that suck --- when the powers that be unleash their flailing pawns to break us and stop us. As we recognize the need to recognize our own and each other's health and wellness, hear the tale of two activists who are neither broken nor stopping. And lastly but most of the budget – our military. But first, I am a hypocrite.
