Derrick Jensen is an award-winning author and has been described as “the poet-philosopher of the ecological movement.” Derrick has written for Orion, Audubon, and The Sun Magazine, among many others. His most recent book, The Myth of Human Supremacy, debunks the near-universal belief in a hierarchy of nature and the superiority of humans. Derrick’s radio program, Resistance Radio, features some of the most visionary activists, authors, and others such as Chris Hedges, Ann Jones, Jeannette Armstrong, Tom Butler, Kathleen Dean Moore, Mike Mease, and more. He has also written 20 books about stopping this culture from killing the planet.

Mainstream environmentalism has not been effective in stopping fossil fuels or any other extractive industries. Despite over 50 years of environmental activism in this country, we are experiencing the sixth mass extinction, global climate change, widespread pollution, total ocean acidification, and more–all directly caused by human activity. In a situation of life and death, shouldn’t we do everything we can to survive? Come learn about our analysis, strategy, and tactics for stopping the destruction and exploitation of life on Earth.
This event is free and open to the public.
