ACT OUT! EPISODE 7 - Water Shortages, Edward Snowden busted and the surveillance state

ACT OUT! EPISODE 7 - Water Shortages, Edward Snowden busted and the surveillance state
Wed, 4/15/2015
This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

This week we dive into the shallow waters of California’s extreme drought and what you can do about it (hint: it’s not just about cutting back on personal hygiene). We also take a look at Baltimore’s warning to over 25,000 people that their water will be shut-off. Is water a human right? Are low income residents the real ones to blame or could some other scum be lurking in these murky waters?

Shifting to Art with Teeth, we interview founder Keef Ward on why he handpicks thousands of social and political artists to showcase on his page, why art in activism is so important, and which artists you absolutely have to check out. Finally, we look at the renegade bust of Edward Snowden mounted by creative activists in Brooklyn – with an update on the surveillance state from the Front Lines.

A rug pull occurs when a ‘meme’ or ‘shit’ coin is created, investors pour in, and the price spikes — at which point the early stakeholders sell and tank the coin’s value, as happened with the $TRUMP token.
