The 2009 Labor Party National Convention Lofoten Protest

In 2009, protests erupted addressing oil drilling in northern Norway as the Labor Party held its national convention (Berg, 2015). Several environmental organizations bonded together to form the protest, and although MDG did not directly participate due to it being a political party, they stated that it was vital that the Labor Party shifted their view of the Lofoten debate to anti-drilling, and protected the islands once and for all.

DUH (Demand Universal Healthcare) advocated for a National Improved Medicare for All (NIMA), which would expand the current Medicare system to provide healthcare to all Americans and it would also expand the types treatments covered by the insurance. They are a group based in Chicago, but most of their work is done through social media and their website.
