What's the name of the organization that sued Unocal? Do they take contributions? Could you add links to this & other organizations mentioned in this segment to this page? Thanks!
The name of the organization that sued UNOCAL is EarthRights International, Katie Redford is our co-founder and D.C. office Director, and we do take contributions.
Please visit our website www.earthrights.org to donate, sign up for our e-alerts, and see our breaking news.
'Your America' actually has their own section on the NOW website as well.
http://www.pbs.org/now/youramerica/index.html
The site has a good introduction to the book along with videos of the stories of local heroes and suggestions on how to take action to bring about change.
The NOW website itself also has a ton of interesting shows on social and political topics that are all streamable from their website.
