Book launch of Little Red Barns: Hiding the truth, from farm to fable by Will Potter.
Will Potter is an award-winning investigative journalist who exposes political repression and the erosion of civil liberties. His landmark book “Green Is the New Red— An Insider's Account of a Social Movement Under Siege” (2011) revealed how governments and corporations have labelled nonviolent animal rights activists and environmental activists as “terrorists.”
His new book, “Little Red Barns” (City Lights Books, 2025), is the result of a 10-year investigation into factory farms, ag-gag laws, and the rise of fascism.
