Act Out! [171] - The Grandmother Pipeline Companies Fear & Harnessing the Power of Hemp
Wed, 8/1/2018 - by Eleanor Goldfield

This week on Act Out!, the worst democracy money can buy and how federal over-reach can turn back progressive environmental policies. Next, a retired special ed teacher and grandmother gets thrown in jail – because a pipeline company is afraid of her.

Meanwhile, 2017 was the deadliest year yet for environmental activists. Finally, hemp has gone from miracle plant to demon seed and is now publicly swinging back to miracle plant. Industrial hemp advocate and activist Muriel Young Bear joins us to talk about the history, future and power of hemp.
