Act Out! Episode 9 - #FreddieGray, TPP, Justice League and Paul Revere

Act Out! Episode 9 - #FreddieGray, TPP, Justice League and Paul Revere
Wed, 4/29/2015
This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

Spring is rising and so are the people. We cover the latest from the front lines, starting with the fight against TPP and Fast Track featuring Bernie Sanders and a giant horse. Marchers from NYC arrive in D.C. calling for racial justice, and push to end police violence and stop the militarization of our cops – the same week that Freddie Gray dies from injuries sustained during a police encounter. Striking at the root of systemic evil, Paul Revere takes his horse down to a GOP convention to decry corruption, and we give you the upcoming events to watch out for and where to look. Finally, even a drunk guy can affect change. Small acts people, small acts.

Green New Deal, Part VI: End Corporate Welfare Before It Kills Us

Corporations are not "too big to fail" and, when they commit crimes, they are not "too big to jail." As David Whyte writes in his new book, "Ecocide: Kill the Corporation Before It Kills Us," the moment is now to rein in out-of-control corporate power.
