Happy International Women’s Day.  Normal service will resume tomorrow of course.

Berta Caceres was murdered last week.  The Honduran indigenous leader got between rich people andtheir money-making opportunities and paid the price, like at least 116 environmentalists in 2014.

Friends of the Earth has a good piece about “Amazing Women Who Defended the Environment.”

Me, I’d have added Judi Bari, the radical American working-class activist and environmentalist who was dangerous enough to be blown up.  (Shades of Fred Hampton – it’s the activists who might get the competing groups of poor seeing beyond their short-term interests to their longer-term interest (in, say, a habitable planet)  who are the biggest threat to our lords and masters.)
