Indigenous Climate Activists: Paris “Police State” is the Reality Frontline Communities Live With
Democracy Now! catches up with Dallas Goldtooth of the comedy group the 1491s, and his father Tom Goldtooth, executive director of Indigenous Environmental Network, at The Place to B, a Paris hostel that serves as the center for independent journalists covering COP21. Tom Goldtooth recently won the Gandhi Peace Award. “If you look at the scenario were facing right now in Paris, you have a heightened police state, you have unreasonable bureaucracy, limited resources,” Dallas says.”This is our element as frontline communities. This is the world we exist in.” – Democracy Now!, is an independent global news hour that airs weekdays on 1,300+ TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
