Podcasts about Bayou Bridge Pipeline

Leaves You Hopeful is a short podcast series by 2023 Dogwood Alliance Fellow Aanahita Ervin. It highlights stories about large institutions - government, private foundations, corporations - misusing forests against the wishes of the local community members. While misuse of forest land is often legal, it is not ethical. These offending institutions are large and powerful. Oftentimes people assume they can't ask questions. Sometimes, they don't have the resources to do so. THIS EPISODE: L'eau Est La Vie Camp is a group of Native American water protectors that formed in 2018. L'eau Est La Vie, along with a diverse coalition of organizations, worked together to resist the construction of the Bayou Bridge Pipeline. It goes through the Atchafalaya basin, the largest river swamp in the United States.  Louisiana is an industry heavy state and faces severe pollution. This pipeline risks the health of already vulnerable people, the local economy, and the environment. This story shows how state militarization, intimidation, and laws are weaponized to suppress the rights of protestors. This episode follows the strong and strategic resistance the coalition staged against Energy Transfer.  Special thanks to Karen Savage for the insight into the events described in this episode. Her work speaks truth at a time of dying local news and increasing disinformation.

We're joined this week by some of the folks behind the Earthbound Farmer's Almanac, a self-published annual collection of art, comics, facts, articles and incitements to challenge us to thicken our relationship to the land and grow autonomy against state, colonialism and capitalism. You are welcome to  read the almanac for free in portions on the Lobelia Commons social media (fedbook or instascam). We also talk about spreading food forests and building neighborly food resilience with Lobelia Commons and a little about Ndn Bayou Food Forest (formerly the L'eau Et La Vie anti-pipeline camp) which can be found on fedbook or instascam. A few acronyms come up in the chat, and here's a breakdown: MADR is the Mutual Aid Disaster Relief network; Zeta & Ida were hurricanes that damaged the south east of Turtle Island, landfalling near to so-called New Orleans; NOMAG is the New Orleans Mutual Aid Group. You can hear a 2018 interview from L'eau Et La Vie against the Bayou Bridge Pipeline: https://thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org/post/2018/01/14/no-bayou-bridge-pipeline-an-interview-from-leu-est-la-vie-camp/ . ... . ..

À l'occasion de son exposition Pour la vie au Frac Île-de-France/Le Plateau, nous recevons En Pleines Formes reçoit mois-ci le photographe Bruno Serralongue.   Dans cette exposition on trouve des images des années 1990, à partir desquelles Bruno Serralongue a commencé sa carrière d'artiste jusqu'à aujourd'hui, mais cette exposition entretient un rapport au temps plus complexe qu'elle n'en a l'air. Rétrospective partiale : elle prend le parti des portraits et des rencontres. En 1996, après être sorti de l'ecole nationale supérieure de la photographie d'Arles et de la Villa Arson, Bruno Serralongue part à la rencontre des zapatistes du Chiapa réunis pour la rencontre intercontinentale pour l'Humanité et contre le Néolibéralisme. Il part avec l'idée de développer son travail sur la construction de l'image médiatique et sur l'information mais sur place la rencontre de personnalité et le contexte politique crée un déplacement dans son travail. Si dans la série des Faits Divers débutée en 1993 il retournait le lendemain sur les lieux des événements heureux ou malheureux, cocasse ou tragique, il rencontre cette fois l'actualité. A Nice, il avait commencé à travailler à la chambre et cette pratique qui demande un plus long temps de pose et un autre investissement dans le moment ne le quitte plus. On ne peut pas faire une photo en passant dit-il même en ouvrant à d'autres techniques, notamment numériques, ces dernières années.

On voit l'histoire en train de s'écrire comme Fabrice del Dongo pris en pleine bataille napoléonienne dans La Chartreuse de Parme, sans parvenir à rien distinguer. Au travers du travail de Bruno Serralongue, on assiste à la fabrication médiatique de l'événement. L'histoire batailles a été remise en question par l'école des Annales qui a cherché à fournir une histoire de la société plus complexe. L'exposition “Pour la vie” présenté au Frac Ile de France, propose des portraits de groupe ou d'individus engagés, des portraits de présences et de luttes.   Animation et Interview : Henri Guette, Flore Di Sciullo

Award-winning artist Cary Morin’s new album, “Dockside Saints,” was released in August 2020. Cary has won numerous awards for his work, particularly for his 2017 release, “Cradle to the Grave.” Born in Billings, Montana, Cary is a Crow tribal member and son of an air force officer. He spent the bulk of his youth in Great Falls, Montana, where he cut his teeth picking guitar standards at neighborhood get-togethers, before relocating to northern Colorado. There, his musical career hit the ground running with The Atoll, a band he founded in 1989 and that toured nationally, gaining a devoted following. Later, he achieved international acclaim with The Pura Fé Trio, for whom the single “Ole Midlife Crisis,” which Morin wrote and performed with Pura Fé, placed at number 17 on France’s iTunes blues chart.

Episode 3 features two stories about the radical act of figuring out who we are and allowing ourselves to be that. It is the first of our episodes featuring work that came out of Our Queer Histories Queer Futures Podcast Workshop in 2017. Using interviews gathered by participants in Last Call’s oral history workshop, everyone in the workshop focused on one oral history, identified a story in it and built a piece around that.  We spent a weekend eating snacks, going over the basics of podcasting, and starting to craft our pieces. People then went off into the world to finish on their own time. The resulting pieces are so much fun to hear and we are so excited to share some with you! Our first story this week features Deon Haywood. Deon has worked as a human rights defender for more than 25 years.  She is an advocate for Black women, working class and low-income women, and LGBTQ communities in the Deep South. She’s the Executive Director of Women With A Vision (WWAV) in New Orleans, and since Hurricane Katrina, has worked to abolish the “crime against nature” statute. This helped to remove more than 800 people from the Louisiana sex offender registry. She has been honored with numerous awards by groups across the United States for her advocacy work. In this episode we hear the story of Deon’s Long coming out process. She was interviewed by Indee Mitchell and Natalie Nia Faulk. Deon’s piece was produced by Tara Thierry. Tara grew up in New Orleans and has returned after living other places. She is grateful wife and new older mother, queer, dyke, poet, musician, composer, digital artist, and programmer.  She marvels how becoming and coming out never quite end. She is profoundly grateful for stories that tell herstory, especially New Orleans herstory. In addition to producing and editing the story, Tara made the music. Our second story comes from Sue Prevost. Sue grew up in Old Jefferson, graduated from LSU, and subsequently lived many places. During the 90s In Austin she developed programming with the Women's Collective on independent radio. Back home in Louisiana, Sue has found a role in environmental activism fighting the Bayou Bridge Pipeline and industrial pollution in St James Parish. This vignette from Sue's life takes place in Lafayette, Louisiana where she experienced her first thrilling and terrifying love. She was interviewed by Indee Mitchell and Saiya Miller. This piece was produced by Maria Delgado. Maria is a musician in New Orleans who plays in the bands Special Interest & Malflora. She is also a Fundraising Coordinator for Girls Rock New Orleans, a collective that provides youth driven music education and the opportunity for girls to form their own bands and create original music. This is Maria's first podcast but she got so into it, she is currently editing a subsequent piece about Sue’s adult life. Music for this piece by The Velveteens Additional music for this episode by free feral and Peter Bowling.

In this episode Travis London shares his story of taking leadership on environmental issues in his community in Donaldsonville Louisiana. We talk about networking, movement building, and learn about his experience fighting the Bayou Bridge Pipeline which would connect oil from the Bakken fields with refineries on the Gulf Coast.Travis wants all of us to know and remember the power of people when we connect with each other and defend our communities. He says “we’re the ones who give power to the president, to government agencies, to industry – so when people join together and organize we can win victories. “As mentioned in this episodeTravis London on LinkedINCONFLUENCE - No Bayou Bridge PipelineNo Bayou Bridge Pipeline: bbp.orgFacebook Group: No Bayou Bridge Pipeline!L'eau Est La Vie Camp - No Bayou BridgeAbout Travis LondonTravis London is a networker and business owner from Donaldsonville, Louisiana involved in a variety of environmental justice issues. His business is in computing, but the harms of oil and gas industry motivate Travis to take leadership in environmental action.“In 2009, I was working as a library assistant. I met an activist by the name of Alberta Hasten, who was the founder of the Louisiana Environmental Justice Community Organization Coalition, client council board member of Capitol Area Legal Service, a board member of the school board, and a 35 year community activist that influenced me to get involved in everything as she showed people how everything related back to the environment. She had admire my networking skills as I helped her grew out her organization. She also took me along as her secretary/accountant in every type of fight that she was involved in. We did things from helping develop the Cancer Alley research in 2010 alongside Dr. Merril Singer of the University of Connecticut to doing usual environmental outreaches in different communities.”CreditsThis podcast is a project of halttheharm.net, a website and resource that connects you with leaders, activists, researchers, economists, legal experts, and funders to protect your community from oil & gas industry.

Gyasi and Wes are joined via phone by Indigenous revolutionary Mark Tilsen who is on the frontlines of the Bayou Bridge Pipeline battle. This is one you have to hear.

Today, in the midst of what is predicted to be the storm of a lifetime, Hurricane Florence is barreling towards the Carolinas, with a typhoon headed to the Philippines and Hawaii again drenched by heavy rains. We get a report from climate change protesters on the ground in San Francisco. We speak with Kandi White of the Indigenous Environmental Network. And a major, though temporary, victory for environmental activists as a judge in Louisiana has halted the Bayou Bridge Pipeline. We speak with Cindy Spoon, who is part of the Leau Est la Vie (Water Is Life) camp that has been opposing the pipeline. We continue our Election Watch coverage with Dorothy Reik and Jose Luis Granados Ceja joins us to discuss reported turmoil in Venezuela.

The #RiseTogether weeks of action against dirty energy projects and their financiers continue, and I share what I witnessed in the swamps of Louisiana as the fight against the Bayou Bridge Pipeline escalates. Next, Dr. Kristin Laurin joins us to talk rationalization and the power of human psychology in addressing – and indeed, not addressing the greatest socio-political problems of our time.   http://bit.ly/ActOut126 http://bit.ly/ActOut151 http://nobbp.org/ https://www.nobayoubridge.global/risetogether http://bit.ly/JoinTheFrontlines https://commoncensored.libsyn.com/ https://magiclab.psych.ubc.ca/   If you enjoy the show, please click here & become a patron! A cup of coffee a month - help us keep acting out! *Note: Act Out! is primarily a video show: check out occupy.com/actout for and freespeech.org/actout for more info!

We all have the same brains but none of us see the same reality. From the man who can't forget anything to the perpetually lost woman - the power and delicacy of the human mind and what it can tell us about our socio-political work. The Dakota Access Pipeline fight isn't over. From the swamps of Louisiana, the resistance against The Bayou Bridge Pipeline escalates. Julian Assange will likely be handed over to UK authorities. What happens next will have powerful impacts on both free speech and free press.  PLUS some good news from Seattle and workers who fling fish. http://bit.ly/ActOut126 http://bit.ly/ActOut151 http://nobbp.org/

On Episode 2 of The Activist Files, CCR Senior Staff Attorney Pam Spees talks with Anne Rolfes, Founding Director of the Louisiana Bucket Brigade, and Pastor Harry Joseph of the Mount Triumph Baptist Church. Rolfes and Joseph are helping to lead the fight to stop the Bayou Bridge Pipeline. As Anne introduces it in the episode, the Bayou Bridge Pipeline is Energy Transfer Partners', the company that built the Dakota Access Pipeline, “latest bad idea.” CCR has filed public records requests and litigation in support of their efforts.

This week, Bursts had a change to speak with two participants in the L'eu Est La Vie camp (Water is Life in French) organizing against the Bayou Bridge pipeline that Energy Transfer Partners is trying to push through the swamps of Louisiana at the tail end of the Dakota Access Pipeline.  For the hour, they speak about the pipeline, the lifeways of people living in the bayou, potential impacts on the environment and the impact on our guests of increased indigenous forefronting to struggles to defend the environment in recent years around Turtle Island. More on their work can be found at http://nobbp.org/ Resist the TWP in Knoxville! January 21st at 12 Noon The Traditionalist Worker Party is a neo-Nazi, white nationalist group which is headquartered right here in North Carolina. This group promotes white separatism and a white supremacists view of Christianity. Begun in 2013 by the now infamous Matthew Heimbach as the official face of the similarly neo-Nazi group the Traditionalist Youth Network, the TWP's main focus seems to be promoting their agenda by making attempts on public office in local elections while maintaining something that could be called a street presence. There is much more to be said about this group, from its formal designation by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group to its yearning to establish Turtle Island as something called a “white ethnostate”, seemingly a mythological and highly revisionist creation of the alt right and its philosophical forebears. What is more relevant right now is that this group is seeking to descend on Knoxville, TN on January 21st at 12 noon to protest the second annual Women's March and support the anti-choice group Right to Life. The exact TWP rallying point is still unknown but may coincide with the Women's March rallying point in Market Square at 12pm and then join the Right to Life rallying point at World's Fair Park at 2pm. Details will be shared as they get received, so keep eyes on your favorite news sources for updates. From the Holler Network and Nashville ARA: “The TWP and other white supremacist groups view Southeast Appalachia as an ideal region for a white separatist movement, and they prey upon rural and semi-rural areas to build their base. But their claims to Appalachia fly in the face of centuries of resistance to white supremacy and settler colonialism that are woven into these hills and rivers. From indigenous resistance to militant maroon communities, to multiracial labor strikes and prisoner uprisings, to the very existence of tight-knit black and brown communities across these hills, we know Appalachia has never been and will never be their all-white vision- as long as we continue to resist.” For questions and additional info you can contact the email address  ETresist@protonmail.com , and you can see the full call with some more contextual information by going to the It's Going Down article here.

Scott Eustis has had a busy mid-2017.As the Gulf Restoration Network‘s wetlands specialist, he’s been part of flyovers finding chemical and petroleum product releases in the flood waters following Hurricane Harvey’s strike and the flooding that inundated southeast Texas in the wake of the storm. He’s been involved in flyovers in the Gulf of Mexico where pipeline ruptures remain part of the regular cost of business there. And, he’s been flying above the Atchafalaya Basin watching pipeline operators wreck “water quality projects” that had repaired Basin water flow that had been disrupted by earlier pipeline work at a cost of millions of dollars to taxpayers.Like a number of environmental organizations in Louisiana, GRN and Eustis are fighting the proposed Bayou Bridge Pipeline proposed by Energy Transfer Partners. It’s one leg of the network that begins with the Dakota Access Pipeline in the Bakken fields of North Dakota and zig-zags across and down the country into Nederland, TX. Bayou Bridge aims to connect the Nederland operation and a Phillips 66 refinery in Lake Charles to a storage facility in St. James Parish on the Mississippi River.There are thousands of pipelines in Louisiana. The challenge is making the case that Bayou Bridge is somehow more dangerous than those others.Eustis talks about the need for an environmental impact study of the Bayou Bridge project in the context of the already significant damage inflicted on the Basin by those other pipelines. The cumulative effect of hundreds (if not thousands) of disruptions of water flow in the Basin threatens its viability as a swamp and estuary.Eustis and GRN work in five northern Gulf of Mexico states — Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas. It’s a broad, culturally, geologically and environmentally diverse. The indifference of the Trump administration to the environment and threats to it has made the work of GRN all the more important. The broad range of outrages that flow from the Trump White House and threaten things from civil rights to climate protections has sparked resistance but also a raft of new organizations, all of which seem to be competing for a fixed piece of the financial real of progressives.Established organizations have been squeezed as new ones emerge with the resistance strategy of the moment.The climate and environmental challenges confronting the country grow daily and groups like Gulf Restoration Network have been stretching to respond.Scott Eustis is on the frontlines watching the problems unfold, documenting the damage done, and chronicling the reckoning that is coming if we don’t find effective responses quickly.
