In loving, living memory, John Melançon 1928 – 2007
Tim DeChristopher put in the winning bid in a federal auction of oil and gas on 150,000 acres of public lands. Without any money. “I wasn’t motivated to protect land. I wouldn’t go to jail to protect land. I’m primarily motivated to protect human beings. This is about climate justice. We must move away from fossil fuels and create a world with clean energy for sure, but not continue corporate exploitation through the banner of green energy, a world where people have the power, not corporations. It is about equality and justice.”
