Sim Barr<p>The Herds</p><p>The Herds is a public arts initiative with an aim to bring awareness to the the issues of climate change - which often results in the forced migration of animal species. The Herds will travel 12,400 miles and visit 20 cities across four months to “flee climate disaster,” with the group making their way from the Congo Basin through Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco, Spain, France, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, the UK, and Norway - finishing in the Arctic Circle in August.</p><p>The puppets are made primarily from recycled materials: cardboard for the skin and rubber for the joints.</p><p>As it travels, the herd will be joined by new locally created puppets representing local species, such as vervet monkeys in Nigeria, wolves and red deer in Europe, and reindeer in Norway. Sadly, some puppets will also 'die' along the route.</p><p>For more info visit www.theherds.org</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/theherds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theherds</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climatechange</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/puppets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>puppets</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/arts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arts</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/animals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>animals</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/forcedmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forcedmigration</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/climateaction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climateaction</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/jointheherds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jointheherds</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 1, 1954: The U.S. detonated Castle Bravo, a 15-megaton hydrogen bomb on Bikini Atoll. It caused the worst radioactive contamination ever by the U.S. However, this occurred after years of nuclear testing and contamination of the islands and waters around them. The U.S. detonated 23 nuclear devices on the islands from 1946 to 1958. They blew up the bombs on the reef, in the sea, in the air and underwater. They relocated islanders several times, each time to supposedly safe islands. But they neglected to provide sufficient food and water, causing starvation. When the islanders tried to catch fish to eat, or grow their own crops, they were so contaminated from radioactive fallout, that it poisoned all who ate it. Women started having miscarriages and giving birth to babies with abnormalities. To this day, it is still too contaminated for inhabitants and their descendants to return. A trust fund that had been set up to help support the survivors ran out of funds in the late 2010s.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bikini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bikini</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/islands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>islands</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nuclear</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radioactive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radioactive</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bomb</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/contamination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>contamination</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/coldwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coldwar</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/castlebravo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>castlebravo</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indigenous</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenousrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indigenousrights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>imperialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/forcedmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forcedmigration</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genocide</span></a></p>
