The news corporate media won't touch, stories from the front lines of our movements to fight and build and just a dash of spoken word, visual art and snark. Blend and enjoy.

Sep 22, 2017

This week:

we go to the front lines in Europe to dispel the myths of a squeaky green facade and hear about the tactics and actions being used to shut down and block dirty and destructive energy projects. Next, making connections and why greenwashing “over there” matters to you. Finally, how do we fight - in the capitalist line.

This week on Act Out!

The Left is pretty good at in-fighting – but we are also unstoppable when we put aside drama and fluff and engage in real solidarity and direct action. From a deeply red state, we bring you a story of leftist organizing success.

Next up, DACA is on the chop block – So what are we looking to defend when we say Defend DACA? Community Organizer and DACA recipient Ella Mendoza joins us to critically address immigration policy in this country.

This week on Act Out!

Hurricane Harvey continues to wreak havoc even as the storm has died – we take a look at the capitalist machine that not only worsens storms but orchestrates the aftermath – letting history be our guide.

Next we'll shine a light on what has, is and will continue to mitigate the worst effects of both climate change and capitalism – hint: they're not afraid to punch a Nazi. 

And finally, some upcoming front line battles that YOU need to know about.

This week on Act Out!

L'eau est la vie – water is life. From the deep bayous and what's left of the Louisiana wetlands, we take a look at the indigenous led camp standing in the way of the Bayou Bridge Pipeline – the benignly named crude oil project threatening huge swaths of waterways and some of the state's last line of defense against climate change.

And finally – lady justice stands alone – silent by a shattered throne...
