We are excited to welcome Robert Meeropol, Executive Director of The Rosenberg Fund for Children, Will Potter, Author “Green is the New Red: An Insider’s Account of a Social Movement Under Siege”, and Jenny Synan, activist and partner of jailed environmental activist Daniel McGowan. With an introduction from Rachel Meeropol, Staff Attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights. From the “Red Scare” of the 1950s to the present day “Green Scare”, our panel will examine the fear of communism in the 20th century, the contemporary treatment of environmental and animal activism as so called “eco-terrorism” and the U.S. government’s persistent persecution of individuals deemed a political threat.
