Sojourner Truth Radio: July 6, 2017 – GE Trees Could Hit the U.S. | The DEA's Honduras Massacre Lies

Sojourner Truth Radio

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration covered up murders of innocent civilians in Honduras, carried out on orders of its agents. Who is being held to account? Also: Berta Caceres, the award-winning environmental and LGBTQ activist, was assassinated in Honduras last year; now, her daughter has narrowly escaped a brutal attack. What is going on? Our guest is Alex Main, Senior Associate for International Policy at the Center for Economic and policy Research. With Trumps Attorney General Jeff Sessions now promising to scuttle progress made in reducing mass incarceration under the Obama administration, we discuss the pioneering work of the Center for NuLeadership in the area of socio-economic, criminal and juvenile justice policy. Our guest is Dr. Divine Pryor, the organizations Executive Director. For our weekly Earth Watch, Anne Petermann, the Executive Director of the Global Justice Ecology Project, joins us. We discuss the campaign against genetically engineered eucalyptus trees in the U.S., days after the USDA closed their public comment period on this matter. Petermann's objections are shared by over 250,000 signers of a petition against GE trees.
