Act Out! [92] - Why Texas Politics Matter To You & The Pipeline Fight in Your Backyard
Wed, 12/14/2016 - by Eleanor Goldfield
This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

This week, we look at politics in Texas and why it matters to you. Next, an Army veteran walks us through her time at Standing Rock. Here are a few pipelines that are not DAPL – and which you could be fighting, possibly even in your own backyard. Finally, Chris Hedges offers a ray of hope through the clouds of depressive realism.
