From 2019: South Dakota Governor #KristiNoem Caves on Attempted Efforts to Silence #PipelineProtesters
ACLU, October 24, 2019
"South Dakota’s governor and attorney general today backed down from their unconstitutional attempts to silence pipeline protestors. In response to a lawsuit we filed alongside the ACLU of South Dakota and the Robins Kaplan law firm, the state has agreed to never enforce the unconstitutional provisions of several state laws that threatened activists who encourage or organize protests, particularly protests of the #KeystoneXL [#KXL] pipeline, with fines and criminal penalties of up to 25 years in prison.
"The settlement agreement reached today and now headed to the court for approval is an important victory for the right to protest. It comes soon after a federal court temporarily blocked enforcement of the pieces of the laws that infringed on First Amendment protected speech, and makes the court’s temporary block a permanent one.
"The laws include the #RiotBoostingAct, which gave the state the authority to sue individuals and #organizations for 'riot boosting,' a novel and confusing term. The court warned against the laws’ broad reach, noting that the laws could have prohibited:
- Sending a supporting email or a letter to the editor in support of a protest
- Giving a cup of coffee or thumbs up or $10 to protesters
- Holding up a sign in protest on a street corner
- Asking someone to protest"Under the First Amendment, that is impermissible.
"The court rightly recognized the stakes of this case. And it put these #AntiProtest efforts in perspective, asking 'if these riot boosting statutes were applied to the protests that took place in Birmingham, Alabama, what might be the result?' The answer: 'Dr. King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference could have been liable under an identical riot boosting law[.]'
"Indeed, South Dakota’s unconstitutional anti-protest efforts echoed the suppression of past social movements. From the start, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem called on 'shut[ting] down' 'out-of-state people' who come into South Dakota to 'slow and stop construction' of the pipeline. Her harmful calls were reminiscent of government attempts throughout our history to delegitimize and minimize significant #SocialMovements as the work of 'outside agitators,' including Reverend #MartinLutherKingJr.
"South Dakota’s quick and costly retreat (they’ll have to compensate plaintiffs for attorney’s fees under the settlement agreement) should serve as a lesson for other legislatures considering similar efforts to silence dissent.
"In the last few years, we have witnessed a legislative trend of states seeking to criminalize protest, deter political participation, and curtail freedom of association. These bills appear to be a direct reaction from politicians and corporations to some of the most effective tactics of those speaking out today, including water protectors challenging pipeline construction, Black Lives Matter, and those calling for boycotts of Israel. These legislative moves are aimed at suppressing dissent and undercutting marginalized and over-policed groups voicing concerns that disrupt current power dynamics.
"But the First Amendment guarantees people the right to voice their opposition. This includes our clients — four organizations (the #SierraClub, #NDNCollective, #DakotaRuralAction, and the #IndigenousEnvironmentalNetwork - #IEN) and two individuals (#NickTilsen with NDN Collective and #DallasGoldtooth with Indigenous Environmental Network) — all of whom are protesting construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and encouraging others to do the same.
"Construction of the Keystone XL pipeline may be imminent. Pre-construction activities resumed this month, and a hearing on the new Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the pipeline, which will serve as the basis for approval of any future permits, is coming up next Monday.
"With the laws we challenged proclaimed unenforceable, protesters and protectors no longer have to worry about incarceration or fines as they protest against the construction. That is, at a minimum, how democracy should work."

How Western companies make money from hunger in Africa
It sounds great: #Western #companies #invest in #Nigerian and #Kenyan #agricultural companies, among others, so that harvests grow and #hunger is reduced. But according to many #researchers, this #charity is mainly good for the profits of Western multinationals, and there is no evidence that more food is being produced. They even speak of 'hunger #politics'.
More and more people in East, West and Central Africa are going hungry and struggling to get enough #healthy #food. One of the #organizations that has said it wants to do something about this for almost twenty years is #AGRA, founded by multi-billionaire and #Microsoft founder Bill #Gates and active in 18 countries and with 30 million #farmers. But African #agricultural organizations accuse AGRA of 'hunger politics': aid in which, for example, #artificial #fertilizers, improved seeds and #pesticides are essential, so that the #profits from these agricultural models mainly flow to a small group of companies that #produce such #products.
AGRA was founded in 2006 with the stated aim of a green revolution in agriculture in Africa. The name then stood for Alliance for a Green #Revolution in Africa . Bill Gates, the big man behind the project, wanted to use his billions of dollars to help African farmers with modern agricultural #techniques. These techniques would increase production, putting an end to the hunger that has gripped the continent for decades.
There is no evidence that these investments produce more food
AGRA has invested $1 billion in agricultural projects on the African continent since 2006. For that money, it provided training to small farmers on fertilizer and the right seeds, founded seed companies, conducted research and lobbied for legislation. The money largely comes from the Bill and #Melinda Gates #Foundation and Western #governments, including the #Netherlands , which makes money, #technology and #knowledge available. In addition, AGRA projects are often financially supported by national governments in Africa itself.
Despite the enormous investment, there is no evidence that AGRA has increased farmers' production. For example, studies by Tufts University in the US and a study commissioned by AGRA's financiers find no hard evidence that AGRA's projects have led to higher food yields. On the contrary, there were more deaths from starvation, farmers fell into debt because they had to borrow money to buy seeds and fertilizer and the soil is less fertile...
