Summary

In the lead-up to our season on the criminalization of protest we're bringing you part 1 of this excellent two-part Outside/In episode looking at this issue in the U.S. When members of the Oceti Sakowin gathered near the Standing Rock Reservation to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline, they decided on a strategy of nonviolent direct action. No violence… against people. But sabotage of property – well, that’s another question entirely. Since the gathering at Standing Rock, anti-protest legislation backed by the fossil fuel industry has swept across the country. What happened? When is environmental protest considered acceptable… and when is it seen as a threat? This is the first of two episodes exploring the changing landscape of environmental protest in the United States, from Standing Rock to Cop City and beyond. Part II is available on Outside/In wherever you get your podcasts Featuring Chase Iron Eyes, Tokata Iron Eyes, Lesley Wood, Elly Page, and Connor Gibson. Special thanks to Phyllis Young and everyone at the Lakota People’s Law Project, especially Daniel Nelson and Jesse Phelps. Thanks also to Soundings Mindful Media. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	We just finished running our miniseries Herb on the history and impacts of the
0:06.4	corporate free speech movement. At the end of the month we'll get into the
0:12.0	other side of that coin, the increasing criminalization of individual free
0:18.0	speech, or what I like to call real free speech. In the US and in countries
0:24.6	around the world there has been a major backlash to environmental and climate
0:30.1	protests over the last few years, and it's not just coming out of nowhere. Today
0:37.4	we're bringing you the first of a two-part episode from the folks at Outside In
0:41.8	from New Hampshire Public Radio. Outside In is a great show, they do an
0:46.3	amazing job covering all sorts of environmental and climate issues, and in
0:50.8	this two-part episode they look at what happened at Standing Rock in the US,
0:56.1	and how it kicked off a major backlash that has included legislation
1:02.2	criminalizing protest near pipelines. I think you're really going to enjoy this
1:07.7	episode. It's coming up after a quick break and then don't forget to subscribe
1:13.0	so you'll start to get the episodes from our season on this subject, the real
1:18.0	free speech threat coming August 29th. I don't know about you, but I happen to
1:24.3	live in a house where we like to have a few bottles of wine on hand in case
1:29.1	people stop by, and that is why I love first-leaf. It's America's most
1:35.1	personalized wine company. They have you take this really specific quiz when you
1:42.0	sign up for wine shipments, and it narrows in on exactly the sort of wine you
1:47.8	might like, and then selects some options, and I have yet to have the miss even
1:53.8	once. They have a wide range of award-winning varieties all based on your
