DESCRIPTION:
|
If you think Halloween is scary, try the GREEN SCARE.
Brenna Bell, an environmental lawyer from Portland, OR will be joining the National Lawyer's Guild of Loyola to discuss the "Green Scare." In 2002, congressional hearings on "The Threat of Eco-Terrorism" launched a federal crackdown on environmental activists. Over the last five years, dozens have been indicted and arrested on charges of conspiracy, arson and property damage. What has been the effect of the Green Scare on the environmental movement in the Northwest? What are the legal and constitutional concerns? Why is it crucial we understand the Green Scare for our work for environmental justice in the south?
Please join us Monday, October 29 at 3:30 p.m. in Room 401 of the Loyola Law School (7214 St. Charles Avenue, entrance on Broadway). Snacks provided.
