~ download ~ The March for Life & Climate Justice started at La Via Campesina in
Cancún and worked it's way to the 0km mark by the Hotel Zone to honor
Lee Hun Kae the Korean farmer who committed suicide at the police
barricades during the Cancun WTO protests in 2003. Along the way people
from all over the world spoke of the lie of green capitalism and in
support of indigenous rights and solutions to climate change.
Download Thirteen marchers, ages 53 to 88, walked the fourth five-mile stretch of their journey to the gates of Massey-owned Mammoth Coal Company Sunday. The route took them past American Electric Power’s Kanawha Valley coal plant in Glasgow, W.Va.. In the wake of Saturday’s banner drop at the Walker CAT facility in Belle, W.Va. security and one police vehicle met the marchers as they passed AEP’s entrance.
This being the only permitted action in dissent of the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh; it is, of course, full of great speeches and fun signs.
I realized after the fact that the organizers of the March had agreed to lead the 10 thousand plus participants by the nose away from the convention center after the protest by claiming to have another locations for speeches however the only speaker of note at the 2nd location was Cindy Sheehan. I'm truly sorry Cindy but I did not film your wonderful speech because my mouth had food in it for the first time that day and I had not slept the night before. Cindy's speech was , of course, brilliant; but not worth leaving the downtown area to hear.
This protest should have just sat down in the street where we were until ..say.. Tuesday. Haven't we learned anything from the Ukraine?
Download During my afternoon of running from ear drum piercing sonic weapons and tear gas canisters while being chased in circles by dog and baton wielding cops in working class neighborhoods miles from the convention center I had the opportunity to talk to a lot of locals. Here's what they said ... with a small dose of riot porn on the side.
