What is eco-terrorism?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Will Potter, author of Green Is the New Red. The FBI says the Earth Liberation Front is the country's "number one domestic terrorism threat." A new movie If a Tree Falls explores the controversy surrounding ELF members who set fire to timber companies and SUV dealerships. Is that terrorism? Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. When does violence turn into terrorism? It's Your Call with me, Rose Aguilar and, you.

Guests:
Will Potter is an award-winning independent journalist who focuses on "eco-terrorism," the animal rights and environmental movements, and civil liberties post-9/11.

James Brady, Action Recruitment Coordinator for Greenpeace USA

Scott Parkin, a senior organizer with Rainforest Action Network
