Locally, We Are Strong – November 18, 2016
It’s been a week and three days since election night and we already know difficult times lie ahead for the environmental movement. Many of the environmental protections we have fought so hard for over decades might get rolled back by the new administration.

The one big advantage we have in...

Standing Rock and the Flowering of Native Resistance
Since late August, Indigenous people and their allies descended on camps along Cannonball River at the northern boundary of the Standing Rock Sioux reservation in North Dakota, to decry the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline. The pipeline, if built, would stretch one thousand one hundred and seventy-two miles (1,172) miles and carry half a million barrels of crude oil per day from the Bakken oilfields — right through lands held sacred by Native groups.

How so? To explain that and to talk about how we can, and must, learn to coexist better with wildfires, Show ...
