Show Description – Monday, December 4th, 2017: Exactly one year ago, Sergio Alexander Kochergin, Tony B, Vincent Lenartand I traveled to Standing Rock with thousands of veterans from throughout the U.S. to help indigenous peoples stop the construction of an oil pipeline.

The legal and conceptual framework for the fast-tracking provision on pipeline permitting arose during the fight over TransCanada’s …
