The 8th annual Hemp History Week campaign video “Breaking Ground” shares the story of Alex White Plume, Oglala Lakota hemp farmer and activist, whose hemp crop was unlawfully raided and destroyed by the DEA in 2000. Since then, he has been fighting for the right to grow hemp on tribal lands, which have been left out of current federal hemp farming legislation.

The Raucous Rooster
A free range Petaluma, California inequality report with roots extending all the way to Appalachia, the Raucous Rooster is a radical, unconventional holler at the working-class to recall its history, and has been the North Bay's abattoir for sacred cows since 2013. Reporting for an engaged citizenry, compost for feeding the soil and sowing the seeds of a sustainable democracy of, by, and for the people.
