Act Out! [78] - Terrorism, War, Oppression, Colonialism & Activism: from Attica to 9/11 to #NoDAPL

Act Out! [78] - Terrorism, War, Oppression, Colonialism & Activism: from Attica to 9/11 to #NoDAPL
Wed, 9/7/2016 - by Eleanor Goldfield
This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

This week marks the 15th anniversary of the attacks on September 11, 2001. Let's take a look at what these 15 years have brought us: the results of the war on terror and the terrorists made on both sides of the story. Then, this Friday also marks an anniversary — the 45th anniversary of the Attica prisoner uprising — and this year, prisoners across the U.S. are commemorating it with their own actions: for human rights and justice. Next up, join in the fight against the Dakota Pipeline wherever there's a bank. And finally, words of wisdom, power and inspiration from an activist who fought fascism not because she thought she'd win, but because they were fascists. From tweets to marching in the streets, this is Act Out!
