Todd Miller discusses Storming the Wall: Climate Change, Migration and Homeland Security at Revolution Books

Millions of people, all over the planet, driven from their homes by climate change (and war and poverty) make desperate journeys to other lands. Seeking to survive and find a better life, they risk their lives and are then hounded and killed in militarized high-tech border zones. Trump is STILL separating children from their parents at the US/Mexico border - and this is going on all over the planet.

Todd Miller traces how the roots of current policies go back decades, and points to emerging resistance.

This will be an urgent and important discussion.
