Montrose Nine Necessity Defense
Here in the Northwest we know about the Delta Five—the five Washington activists who in September blocked a mile-long oil train calling attention to the danger extraction industries have on the environment.
They invoked the Necessity Defense, claiming their actions were justified and necessary due to the overwhelming threat of climate change.
Across the continent nine activists in New York State attempt the same defense for an action which took place in November to stop work on a Natural Gas Pipeline set to run through the state.
KBOO’s Jared Danceler brings us this in-depth story.
