At this year's conference in Chicago March 16-19, ACLA will sponsor plenary workshops not on professionalization, but on unionization: one, introductory, on forming a union, and another on bargaining strategies and strike tactics.
Yesterday I was part of a group that peacefully protested the expansion of a coal mine in Germany. We were kettled by police and then detained but were let go later that evening.
Climate protection is not a crime.
