Exxon Disrupted at the DNC! w/ Oil Change's Collin Rees (G&R 316)

Yesterday, at a side event at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, climate activists, including a DNC member from the California delegation, disrupted a swanky exclusive cocktail party sponsored by oil giant Exxon. The event featured Texas Democrat Lizzie Fletcher. Scott talks with the Political Director of Oil Change Collin Rees (@collinrees) about the action, how Exxon is one of the most evil corporations in the world and why Republican leaning companies like Exxon are still doing events at the DNC. Bio// Collin Rees is Political Director at Oil Change, working to stop the expansion of the fossil fuel industry, support grassroots resistance, and wind down fossil fuel production with a just transition. He has campaigned on and led direct actions for climate and racial justice, labor issues, and new economic models for well over a decade, spanning local to international levels. -------------------------------------- Intro/Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody Links// + Exxon event disrupted (https://bit.ly/4cFboK1) +Behind the Barrel: New Insights into the Countries and Companies Behind Israel’s Fuel Supply (https://bit.ly/3XfxsXi) Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community ( / discord ) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at / greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.
