Green Is the New Red
An Insider's Account of a Social Movement Under Siege
At a time when it seems everyone is going green, most people are unaware that anti-terrorism resources are being used to target environmentalists. Will Potter gives a first-person guided tour into an underground activist world and shows how the threat of being labeled a "terrorist" is being used to make everyday people afraid to speak up for what they believe.
Will Potter is a thought leader and award-winning investigative journalist who focuses on social justice and environmental movements, and attacks on civil liberties post-9/11. He was the first investigative journalist to be named a TED Senior Fellow and has been invited to address governmental bodies about his reporting, including the U.S. Congress, Australian Parliament, and Council of Europe. Will's first book, Green Is the New Red: An Insider's Account of a Social Movement Under Siege, exposed the criminalization of nonviolent protest groups by the FBI, and was awarded a Kirkus Star for "remarkable merit." His second book, Little Red Barns: Hiding the Truth from Farm to Fable is published by City Lights.
