Thacker Pass: The People (and Planet) vs The Green New Deal

Today we cover the occupation at Thacker Pass, a lithium clay mine in Humboldt County, Nevada. It is one of the largest lithium deposits in the world. Writer and organiser, Max Wilbert has been one of the leading protectors of the wild desert land and, alongside fellow occupiers, has been camping out at the site. Wilbert co-founded Protect Thacker Pass with Will Falk, occupier and lawyer of this environmental effort. In this episode we cover the basics of what's happening on the ground, why this is important, and set up our discussion for our interview with Max Wilbert in our next episode. Check us out!
