Wet'suwet'en Land Reclamation

Over the last decade, the Unist’ot’en clan of the Wet’suwet’en nation have been re-occupying their traditional territories and defending their lands and waters from industry. We caught up with the Gidimt’en and Likht’samisyu clans who have also been building on their respective territories.

#15yrsago Stunning political advocacy Flash.

mostlysignssomeportents:

This is one of the most effective pieces of political advocacy I’ve ever seen. Ben Cohen, the Ben of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream, narrates a short Flash movie for TrueMajority.org, in which he explains – using Oreo cookies – the way that the federal budget is currently apportioned, and how little rearrangement would be necessary to renew all of America’s social programs. The examples are vivid and charming, and the logic is compelling.

The only thing I’d change is adding a fast-forward, pause and rewind button. I wanted to refer back to specific sections of the movie, and the “play all the way through” interface really frustrated me (just taking this screenshot was really hard).
