Act Out! [55] - The High Crime of Ecocide, No New Leases & Shut Down Creech

Act Out! [55] - The High Crime of Ecocide, No New Leases & Shut Down Creech
Wed, 3/23/2016 - by Eleanor Goldfield
This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

This week we're standing strong on the front lines – talking no new leases in New Orleans, no new permits in Oregon, shutting down a drone air force base and playing whack-a-mole with Monsanto. Then, from the front lines to the halls of international law, Polly Higgins lays out the parameters of ecocide law and how global change starts with a simple concept. But first, a bit of spring inspired me to write this.
