“This year’s EF! BIPOC Spoke is looking to build our coalition! We have entered into unpredictable times, with political repression no longer acting underneath a facade. 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. 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 the collective expands and changes.

If you are interested in coming, we are currently fundraising for BIPOC travel funds to help with travel.“

Help raise funds for BIPOC attendees/presenters at the EF! Summer Gathering!

From: Seattle EF!

In a continuation of a 30+ year tradition, we will be gathering in the old growth conifer forests of the PNW to inspire each other and sharpen the tools that allow us to collectively resist environmental destruction.

As we face down worsening ecological collapse, authoritarianism, surveillance and repression, we invite everyone who loves the wild to gather, connect, learn and discuss what is to be done. This will be a week of workshops, conversations and revelry that will hopefully bring you closer to the people and skills needed to fight empire and ecocide in your home.

This fundraiser is intended to support the travel needs of BIPOC attendees/presenters who wish to have agency within the gathering but otherwise would not without this support.

Gatherings run on shoe string budgets and food stamps, which are facing significant cuts. Please support EF! and the direct action community. CEOs and earth destroyers don’t want you to do that.

Ensuring that BIPOC frontline community can deepen personal ties within a vastly wide network of environmental activists means we are weaving the web that is holding us together despite and in defiance of the ongoing desecration of our sacred earth.

Funds raised here will primarily go toward those ends. If enough is raised, any extra will help with the logistical needs of putting on the gathering.
