CDP’s Kelsey Skaggs was quoted in an article on the trial of climate activists Leonard Higgins in Montana:
“We’re disappointed that Mr Higgins was denied the opportunity to present a full defense and explain to the jury why he took his courageous action,” said Kelsey Skaggs, Executive Director of the Climate Defense Project and member of Leonard’s legal team. “Because of the fossil fuel industry’s enormous influence, activists fighting for the future are being convicted while the real climate criminals walk free.”
