Hello everybody:
This piece was published on Slate this morning: "The Dakota Pipeline Protests Should Think Big" http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2016/11/how_the_dakota_pipeline_protesters_can_capitalize_on_their_momentum.html It is ironical to see this sort of aggressive state response to DAPL protests alongside the removal of Andrew Jackson from the twenty dollar bill, arguably because of his role in the Indian Removal Act. What is required is a broader discussion on environmental justice. Flint reminded us of huge problems in this area and DAPL has hopefully underlined the urgency of confronting this issue. Comments welcome: pls email me directly.
