The (road)show must go on… A call out to student groups!

In October of this year the Earth First! movement and the Earth First! Journal are celebrating their 30th anniversary. In the last three decades Earth First! collectives have carried out thousands of direct action campaigns, installing front-line occupations in old growth tree top canopies, blockading devastating power plants in the swamps of Florida, organizing with communities in Appalachia to end mountain top removal, and working side by side with other direct action movements to confront corporate industrialism in large scale street protests from Seattle to Copenhagen.

At 30 years old the Earth First! Journal remains one of the longest running radical grassroots environmental publications in North America. Independently run by members of the movement, the Journal has avoided the corporate collusion exhibited by other mainstream “green” publications. Because we do not compromise on content and do not allow corporate advertising, the Journal continues to set the tone for resistance to ecological destruction from within the financial belly of the industrial nightmare.

To celebrate our 30th anniversary the Earth First! Speakers Bureau, which organizes grassroots environmental activist speakers and direct action trainers around the U.S., would like to organize speaking venues at college campuses. An alliance between EF! groups and student groups is central to creating and spreading resistance to the domineering, destructive machine of empire and ecocide.

For the wild,
