Book Launch: A Line in the Tar Sands: Struggles for Environmental Justice

November 29, 2014

Join contributors, an editor, and Line 9 activists for a celebration of A Line in the Tar Sands: Struggles for Environmental Justice edited by Stephen D’Arcy, Toban Black, Tony Weis, and Joshua Kahn Russell with Foreward by Naomi Klein and Bill McKibben.

Tar 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.

Yet, 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.
