DESCRIPTION:Join a panel of leading activists who are fighting one of the most epic 
 environmental and social justice battles of our time, the Tar Sands. Learn 
 about the most recent front line struggles by the activists themselves, the 
 contextual history of the Tar Sands, what is being done to stop this 
 disaster, and how you can help. The struggle has been captured in the new 
 PM Press volume, A Line in the Tar Sands: Struggles for Environmental 
 Justice. The collection is one of the first that has managed to quite 
 explicitly marry concern for frontline communities and immediate local 
 hazards with fear for the future of the entire planet. Panelists are still 
 forming. The panel facilitator will be Joshua Kahn Russell, US based 
 coeditor of the book.\n\nMore about A Line in the Tar Sands and the 
 Contributors:\n\nTar sands “development” comes with an enormous 
 environmental and human cost. But tar sands opponents—fighting a powerful 
 international industry—are likened to terrorists, government 
 environmental scientists are muzzled, and public hearings are concealed and 
 rushed.\n\nYet, despite the formidable political and economic power behind 
 the tar sands, many opponents are actively building international networks 
 of resistance, challenging pipeline plans while resisting threats to 
 Indigenous sovereignty and democratic participation. Including leading 
 voices involved in the struggle against the tar sands, A Line in the Tar 
 Sands offers a critical analysis of the impact of the tar sands and the 
 challenges opponents face in their efforts to organize effective 
 resistance.\n\nContributors to the book include: Angela Carter, Bill 
 McKibben, Brian Tokar, Christine Leclerc, Clayton Thomas-Muller, Crystal 
 Lameman, Dave Vasey, Emily Coats, Eriel Deranger, Greg Albo, Jeremy 
 Brecher, Jess Worth, Jesse Cardinal, Joshua Kahn Russell, Lilian Yap, Linda
