What role can civil disobedience play in the stuggle for social change? 

Peter explores this question with two guests: first, environmental organizer 

Tim DeChristopher recounts his experience delaying a federal oil and gas 

leasing process, and how the legal doctrine of "necessity" could be used in environmental campaigns. 
Then Sunsara Taylor discusses the right-wing effort to supress womens' option of abortion,

and the countercampaign to preserve reproductive choice.

Tim DeChristopher founded two climate-action organizations. He spent 21 months in prison 

for submitting a false bid at a federal oil and gas auction in Utah in 2008. (www.timdechristopher.org)

Sunsara Taylor is with StopPatriarchy.org, and also is a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party
