- Vermont Conversation: Celebrating and defending protest, America’s founding principle
Annie Leonard and André Carothers, co-authors of 'Protest: Respect It, Defend It, Use It,' highlight the importance of protest as a foundational American principle and warn against anti-protest laws and corporate legal tactics like SLAPP lawsuits. They cite examples such as the 2015 Seattle 'kayaktivist' protests against Shell's Arctic drilling and the $345 million lawsuit against Greenpeace over Dakota Access Pipeline protests.
