A provocative and exciting discussion with five climate activists, some of whom are facing up to 90 years in prison for shutting down oil pipelines.
If we are willing, how can we stop climate disaster? The way to stop them, is to stop them. On October 11, 2016, five climate activists manually shut down five tar sands oil pipelines located in four states. This shut down 15% of US crude oil imports for nearly a day. Unprecedented.
These brave people are willing to go to jail for decades to stop climate change. What about you and me?
Come share an evening with the Valve Turners. As they prepare to go to trial, they'll come talk strategy and share about their journey and the love that led them to take these actions.
Bring your whole self, doubts, hopes, questions and let's face for ourselves what will be required of us if we are to maintain a livable planet for all.
This is a fundraiser. Donations will be collected for their very high legal costs. No one turned away for lack of funds.

makes you so sick at heart, that you can/t take part, you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears, and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the aparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've to indicate to the people who run it, that unless your're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all. by Mario Savio
To which we can an do add----Re-tool the odious first industrial revolution to renewable energy such as wind, tidal, and solar power, that transforms to electricity and is more power than all fossil fuels combined. Quit burning out the oxygen in the atmosphere---done by non-renewable fossil fuels such as coal, gas, oil, and nuclear fission atomic power plants. You yet have a world to win!!
