Honor the Earth - Pipelines
Paul DeMain
Jill Ferguson
Our September meeting will focus on the state of fossil fuel pipelines in Wisconsin and the Mid-west and the evolving fight to stop their expansion.
Paul DeMain: Paul DeMain, board chair for the  environmental organization Honor The Earth. Former managing editor and CEO of Indian Country Communications, News from Indian Country, and producer for Indian Country TV, based on the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe Reservation in northern Wisconsin. He's a member of the Oneida Nation of WI, and of Ojibwe descent, with relations on many Ojibwe reservations here in Wisconsin and Minnesota. He's also a former Indian Affairs Policy Advisor under Governor Anthony S. Earl from 1982-1986.
Jill Ferguson: Jill Ferguson was nicknamed  “Badass Grandma” by the youth who watched her truthtell for hours to one officer after another ordered to arrest her at the Treaty People Gathering in June 2021. Some officers were moved to tears as she spoke of the water and lives that would be harmed by Line 3, as well as the personal harms they were suffering from their work. Most were not able to follow through with arresting her.
