The Dakota pipeline confrontation is turning increasingly harsh. Journalist Amy Goodman was charged with rioting (but then released), Native Americans and Hollywood actresses were strip-searched and a movie maker was charged with 45 years worth of offenses. Does this mean ‘big oil’ is feeling the heat of grass roots protest? Let’s hope so! Listen in.

The reading list:

• Amy Goodman on MSNBC
• Report claims North Dakota police 'out of control'
• 45 years for Deia Schlosberg?
• Intimidation tactics from Big Oil
• Texas judge sides with Exxon against Mass AG Healy
• Exxon disembles

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.

Thanks for listening.
