Green is the New Red

An Insider's Account of a Social Movement Under Siege

Will Potter

This eye-opening book explores how the FBI is using anti-terrorism measures to target environmentalists and animal rights activists, going to extreme lengths to silence dissent. Labeling nonviolent activists as "eco-terrorists" is a way to push a political agenda, instill fear and hit them with disproportionate sentences. Author Will Potter gives insight into the political, legal, and public relations strategies used to threaten even nonviolent civil disobedience with the label of "terrorism". This book is a guided tour of radical activism, introducing the real people behind the headlines and telling the story of how everyday people are being prevented from speaking up for what they believe in. With excellent reviews, it's a must-read for anyone interested in activism, free speech, or environmentalism.
