Tree Hugging Terrorists
For over a year, three environmentalists working for the Chesapeake Climate Action Network were under surveillance by the Maryland State Police for suspicion of “involvement in terrorism.” The men found out about this earlier this month when the police sent them all letters informing them of their year-long status as suspected terrorists.

- Helping to pass the Maryland Healthy Air Act
- Serving as a youth delegate to the United Nations
