OilWatch is an international network of resistance
against the activities of oil companies in tropical regions. OilWatch Sudamerica is based in Quito,

consequences of their activities on indigenous communities, the environment,
and the Ecuadorian economy as a whole, as well as working to halt further
prospecting in El Oriente (the Ecuadorian Amazon) and it's protected lands.

------
RevTalks is a highly interactive program employing numerous layers of tech - Google Hang Out, Skype or VOIP, Livestream, Twitter - to create an open platform for discussion. Questions and comments are welcome from both the presenter and participants.
RevTalks reaches out to people who have experience in social movements elsewhere and invites them to interact with activists and theorists who will help us understand the challenges and opportunities of our movement here at home. The content of the conversations will range from tactics and “best practices” to analyses of the current economic and political order. In all cases, the engagement will be participatory and will offer deep learning and a lively debate.
