Katie Halper, Krystal Ball, Marianne Williamson & Briahna Joy Gray join forces to host a livestream to free Steven Donziger, the human rights and environmentalist lawyer serving a six month prison sentence for successfully suing Chevron for poisoning the water in the Ecuadorian Amazon. We're joined by special guests including Susan Sarandon, Chris Hedges, Richard Wolff, Roger Waters, Lucy Lawless (XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS!), David Sirota, Kyle Kulinski, Nina Turner, Paul Paz y Miño, Alli Jarrar, attorneys Ron Kooby, Marty, Martin Garbus and Natali Segovia and more!
The prosecution of Donziger, which has been condemned by the United Nations, Green Peace, Amnesty International, Amazon Watch, and 64 Nobel Laureates, is a literal corporate prosecution. After the Southern District of New York refused to prosecute Donziger, the judge assigned a corporate firm which had represented Chevron to go after him. The judge also made the unusual move of handpicking the judge to oversee the case and chose a judge who is part of the Right Wing Federalist Society which gets funding from.... you guessed it... Chevron! ***Please support The Katie Halper Show *** On Patreon https://www.patreon.com/thekatiehalpe... Follow Katie on Twitter: https://twitter.com/kthalps
