Honest Government Ad | Alcoa: How to be 'Merica's bitch (Patreon)
Content
Dear PatronsHere is the latest Honest Government Ad you've helped us to produce:Honest Government Ad | Alcoa: How to be 'Merica's BitchAfter we published our Woodside HGA, we had a lot of WA folks in the comments asking us to look into what's happening there with Alcoa. And when I did, I knew this had to be our next episode. Not just because we recenly moved to Western Australia, and this is a chance to make ourselves useful here. But also because it provides a chance to show how we can resist Trumpfuckyfascism by taking local action; in this case, by protecting the Northern Jarrah Forrest (as the Lorax would want). There's a real opportunity to do something about this right now. Thanks to the tireless work of campaigners (like Jess Beckerling, Ricky England, the WA Forest Alliance, and others), the WA State government is finally reviewing Alcoa's proposal to extend forest mining to 2045. But only if people are aware of what's happening and make some serious noise. Which is why we made this HGA to sum it all up in under 3 mins. So if you have friends/fam in Perth/WA, please share it with them. Along with this link to the March that's taking place there on Sunday: https://marchforforests.org/location/perth(Not in Perth? there are marches happening across the nation)We're stoked to have Lucy Peach back in to host this HGA. As well as being a well-known WA folksinger, writer and educator, Lucy has been actively campaigning to protect the Jarrah forest from forest mining.
So it's truly fitting for her to host this episode.In other news: our last HGA about Woodside did well, receiving 1M views on Insta and almost half a million on FB, in just the last fortnight. (By the way, Woodside just announced their new CEO today! Good luck to Liz inheriting Meg's portoflio of troubled LNG assets).As always, thank you for making it possible for us to do this important work. It's only thanks to you that we are able to lend folks a hand to amplify these kinds of stories. Let us know what you'd like us to cover next.Giordano & team
