October 11th 2016, 5 brave climate organizers turned emergency shut-off valves on the 5 pipelines that carry oil from the Canadian tar sands into the United States. It was an unprecedented act of non-violent direct action that shut down 15% of US crude oil imports for nearly a day.

Now, “Valve Turners” face Felony charges with sentences of up to 95 years in prison. Hear Emily, Michael, Annette, Leonard, and Ken discuss why they felt morally compelled to take non-violent direct action.

“For years we’ve tried the legal, incremental, reasonable methods, and they haven’t been anything like enough; without a radical shift in our

relationship to this Earth, all that we love will disappear. My fear of

that possibility is far greater than my fear of jail."

Emily Johnston

“Like mothers everywhere, I act from a deep love for my own children that extends out to all children and young people, and all living beings on this planet.”

Annette Klapstein

“I am here to generate action that wakes people up to the reality of what we are doing to life as we know it. All of our climate victories are meaningless if we don’t stop extracting oil, coal and gas now.”

Michael Foster

“Only if we are truly contesting the means of our own destruction - like wrestling a gun from the hands of a suicide - will we be able to use words like “hope” without cynicism or despair.”

Ken Ward

"I am committed to the moral necessity of participating in nonviolent

direct action to protect life."

Leonard Higgins
