"In the months leading up to the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal on Human Rights, Fracking and Climate Change, Spring Creek Project will present the Bedrock Lectures on Human Rights and Climate Change. 

"This online series will feature leading scientists, attorneys, writers, community leaders, activists, and artists. Some of the lectures will do the important work of explaining the current state of human rights and climate change—how did we get here and what is happening around the world? Others will be forward-looking and invite listeners to imagine a future in which we have made the great turning toward climate justice for all living beings. Other lectures may focus on a place—the fracking fields next to schools and neighborhoods, Standing Rock, deep sea drilling sites. Together, the lectures will create a chorus of voices and ideas that will invite audiences to imagine how we can build communities and lives in a world where environmental crises are quickly recognized as human rights crises."

How and When to Watch

A new Bedrock Lecture will be posted each Wednesday from January 31 to May 30, 2018. Videos will be posted at noon on the Spring Creek Project Facebook page.

David's lecture will be posted on Wednesday, May 9. David’s lecture will be on the book, The Heart of the Monster, and the successful fight to prevent wild and scenic rivers, the Nez Perce trail of tears, the migration route of endangered salmon and steelhead, and a vast designated wilderness from being pierced by hell gear bound for the Alberta Tar Sands.
