Hacking Justice & Leaks for Future was a meetup on the fight for freedom of information and climate justice.

This meetup combined a screening of Clara López Rubio’s film Hacking Justice (about Julian Assange and WikiLeaks) with a presentation of Esteban Servat’s EcoLeaks. Servat published a secret Argentine government study on the environmental impact of fracking in the mountainous region of Mendoza that revealed that the Argentian administration knew that fracking was contaminating aquifers, but lied to the public about the extent of the risk. A discussion with Esteban Servat explored why disclosures such as those made by WikiLeaks are relevant to the environmental movement. Activists from the climate justice movements were invited to contribute to the discussion to show the importance of provoking social change via climate actions, and how technology can help to reach the scope.
