Antonia Juhasz in Town to Discuss Oil

Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services, a local non-profit, welcomes internationally recognized activist Antonia Juhasz to Houston for a speaking event.

Antonia Juhasz appears in the Houston area tomorrow for a book reading and discussion. In The Tyranny of Oil: The World’s Most Powerful Industry–and What We Must Do to Stop It, Juhasz investigates the state of the U.S. oil industry, its global power, influence over elected officials, lack of regulatory oversight and its massive profit margins.

A former legislative assistant to John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) and Elijah E. Cummings (D-MD), Juhasz is an award winning writer whose work has appeared in numerous publications. Juhasz received a 2004 Project Censored award for her article, “Ambitions of Empire: the Radical Reconstruction of Iraq’s Economy,” in LeftTurn magazine. She was featured in the CNBC documentary, “The Hunt for Black Gold,” and appeared on everything from Fox’s Hannity & Colmes to NPR’s Marketplace and Democracy Now!, among many others. In 2004, she was awarded “The Sentinel” by the Nevada Alliance for Workers Rights, “For those who have engaged in a lifelong activism.”

Juhasz speaks at the Houston Institute for Culture on December 15 at 7:00 p.m. The Houston Institute for Culture is located at 708-B Telephone Road, Houston, 77023.
