Sriram Madhusoodanan on Fossil Fuel Investigations, Amin Husain on Decolonizing Museums view post on FAIR.org MP3 Link (cc photo: Frank Schwichtenberg) This week on CounterSpin: The harms of climate disruption are already terrible and will only get worse, and despite what appears to be some people’s magical thinking, no one will be unaffected. What’s more, the drivers of climate disruption are known, and it isn’t people who leave the lights on. What’s missing is a public and media dialog that features fossil fuel industries and their leaders accurately, as roadblocks to the climate justice solutions we desperately need. While federal inaction and even regression is distressing, some state attorneys general are pushing forward for accountability. We’ll talk about that movement with Sriram Madhusoodanan, deputy campaigns director with the group Corporate Accountability.

A few months ago, CounterSpin spoke with Amin Husain, core organizer with the group Decolonize This Place, on the forefront of activism around cultural institutions. We’ll revisit that conversation today. MP3 Link
