Hi Everyone,

It not only feels like we are going backwards, we are! Why is it OK for oil companies to pollute our water and air with hydro-fracking, and then sell the oil on the global market for their profits? We don’t hold them accountable for the clean up, we don’t share in their profits, and we don’t create incentives for them to transition to renewable energy. Why do they get to use up our precious, non-renewable, natural resources, so that they can compete on the global market? Read this article in the NY Times for more info on the subject, and read between the lines.

My guest this week on the Progressive Radio Network is Brett Tolley, the Community Organizer for the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance (NAMA). NAMA is a fishermen-led organization building a broad movement toward healthy fisheries and fishing communities. They build deep and trusting relationships with community based fisherman, crew, fishworkers and allies to create effective policy and market strategies. Brett comes from a four generation commercial fishing family out of Cape Cod, Mass. He’s involved with the leadership of many food and food justice organizations such as LocalCatch.org, Farm to Institution New England, Sustainable Business Network, and Slow Fish. Please join me on Thursday, and find out the real state of our fish communities and what you can do to support them.
