Workshop(s)

Workshop 1: Revolutionary Ecology Training

This workshop explored resistance, organizing, and action as a form of Earth Repair. We discussed and shared skills around movement strategy, non-violent direct action techniques, security culture, know your rights, community organizing, and revolutionary perspectives on ecology.

Watch Max Wilbert’s self-published video of this workshop:

Here is my latest talk. We are losing struggles to defend the planet. Every indicator of ecological health is plummeting. Governments, green technology, NGOs, and mass movements have shown themselves to be completely ineffective in even slowing the rate of destruction.In this video, I argue for a revolutionary ecology movement to reverse this trend by any means necessary.
