The People vs Petrocracy

The climate-science community is urging the world’s governments to take dramatic, unprecedented action to prevent catastrophic heating of the Earth. Meanwhile, the precarious state of democracy in the U.S. raises a disturbing question: In the months and years ahead, how much sociopolitical space will remain open to push for the bold climate action we must achieve within the coming decade? In the coming months, 'In Real Time' will be following the struggles of grassroots movements that are pushing for climate mitigation and social justice during this precarious time when democracy itself is under attack. Stan kicks that off in this third dispatch by discussing two such movements. One of them, the Indigenous struggle against oil and gas pipelines, spans the North American continent, while the other, the Los Angeles Bus Riders' Union, is hyper-local.
