This year’s EarthFirst! BIPOC Spoke is looking to build our coalition!! We have entered into unpredictable times, with political repression no longer acting underneath a facade. While we recognize the fraught history of EarthFirst!, we want this to be an opportunity for world building and a practice in self-sufficiency. All forms of struggle ultimately spring from the desecration of the earth and the prevention of oppressed peoples from living with interdependance and dignity with land. Following this logic, we are trying to bring as much intersectional programming as possible to address the forms of state brutality now while encouraging alternate modes of subsistence and thriving. In an effort to reimagine different models of living and thinking, we need the power of collective imagination to construct new realities. In spite of past fissures and betrayals of trust by white comrades, solidarity will be necessary for survival. We want to include those who work in all modalities with the land, including farmers, spiritualists, herbalists. We ask for cautious trust in the potential of the network as a channel for connection with likeminded people and site for cultural shifts as thecollective expands and changes.

If you are interested in coming, we are currently fundraising for BIPOC travel funds to help with travel. If you are interested in orgnaizing, please contact ark at st4r.88.
