In this episode of Radical People, Eamon talks with "Malcom," who was one of the thirteen people who repelled off of the St. John's Bridge in Portland, Oregon in order to blockade the icebreaker ship, the Fennica back in 2015. This was an effort to keep Shell Oil from being able to drill for oil in the Arctic.
