I just read the Enemies of the State article and it had a link to a short video in it (Enemies of the state? | Stand with Defenders of land and our environment_). It really makes me think back to earlier discussions we had about environmentalism in …

@a_hipp said: @cara said: @fionaw said: This isn't new information to me but every time I read about it I am always shocked and upset. I think the next steps are tracking down those accountable for the murders and…

@cara said: @Julieta said: My concern with giving that power or agency to international organizations is that there is a lot of cultural differences, priorities, etc. that can be lost in the process, and also the corruption, in…

@Julieta said: These stories were not completely new to me. Within the world of activism I became pretty used to hear how many leaders were killed. From dictatorships until today, activist (and my grandparents within them)were targets of the m…

@a_hipp said: Many of these stories were new to me, and I am thankful that I now know about incredible activists like Chico Mendez. However, it saddens me to think that such an instrumental figure is not well understood by my generation. It co…

To address Josh's questions, yes these stories were completely new to me. As I mentioned briefly on zoom, I think it was Barbara? who talked about her experience with the dams and her life being in danger. That really stuck to me- I had NO idea that…

One thing that stuck out to me in The Burning Season was the American filmmaker. I wondered why he was not more afraid, and getting threats himself. I would think if anything him being American would make him more of a target. Josh's mention of the …

@cara said: I liked reading about the short circuit system which emphasized localism. The first thing that came to mind was food. Other than some supplementing here and there, I think localism in foodways is an achievable system. However, the …

@Julieta said: @caroline22 said: @charlotte said: This makes me think of other instances of U.S. involvement. In Guatemala, the U.S. hired Edward Bernays to consult on how to make citizens believe that the Guatema…

@fionaw said: I think social movements that operate with no outside funding can be one of the most impact actions. People involved in these social movements are donating their own time, resources, and money which when made clear really shows t…

@cara said: Its hard for me to have a definitive opinion on the green economy one way or another. The integration of economics and environmentalism is important and necessary. However, it seems to me to not be so productive and its integration…

@Julieta said: I find this topic so complex and hard to be 100% sure of an answer to your questions. Part of me agrees with the earlier comments on how it is a step into the right direction, but I also find it that it is a way to create inacti…

@a_hipp said: I think that the green economy efforts are a step in the right direction as the idea itself is well-intentioned. I think as the articles mentioned, there is still an elitist take over by companies who utilize the cap and trade as…
