Please join male members of DGRNYC in an open discussion of sexism, feminism, gender, and the role of men in the feminist movement.

Those of us in the fight for social justice are quick to stand against the daily oppression we see in our culture. But so often, male activists can be blinded to the structural violence that our female comrades experience. In the “age of information”, fast streaming porn, and mass media advertising, the brutalizing effects of patriarchy on women and girls within the dominant culture can be ever more horrific and normalized. It is vital that male activist seeking social change take concrete steps towards challenging patriarchy and misogyny, both within our culture and ourselves.

What is masculinity, and how can we as male activists identify and challenge it in our lives, both in and out of activist circles? How can we best support the women’s liberation movement? What would a truly egalitarian movement look like, and how do we work towards it?

“Welcome to the struggle of all species yearning to be free. We are the burning rage of this dying planet.”

Deep Green Resistance is an analysis, a strategy, and a movement being born, the only movement of its kind.

As an analysis, it reveals the last 10,000 years of human history–the rise and dominance of civilization–as the culture of death that is now threatening every living being on Earth.

As a strategy, it critiques ineffective lifestyle actions and explains their inevitable failure to stop the destruction of people, species, and the planet. In contrast, DGR offers a concrete plan for how to stop that destruction.

As an aboveground movement, just now taking its first steps, Deep Green Resistance is based on this analysis and implementing this strategy. And we’re recruiting.

No more ineffective actions – piecemeal, reactive, and sad. No more feel-good, magical-thinking, navel-gazing, consumer-based, capitalist-approved denial and dead ends.

The goal of DGR is to deprive the rich of their ability to steal from the poor and the powerful of their ability to destroy the planet. This will require defending and rebuilding just and sustainable human communities nestled inside repaired and restored landbases. This is a vast undertaking but it needs to be said: it can be done. Industrial civilization can be stopped.

Come learn about DGR, answer questions and discuss potential tactics and strategies. This time is meant to be informal and to give a brief introduction to DGR as a strategy. The 101 will be the first part of a three-part intro series. We’ll be hosting a “DGR 201” February 4th where we’ll talk more about specific DGR projects here in NYC, nationally, and internationally. We welcome you to the resistance.

In love, rage, and resistance

Come join DGR NY for our first foraging event! We’ll be joining Wildman Steve Brill for one of his epic foraging adventures through Central Park. Come learn about the wild plants that surround us, work to reconnect to nature, and help build a vibrant culture of resistance in NYC.

For more information about foraging: http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com/. Please RSVP to newyork@deepgreenresistance.org or call (914) 835-2153 at least 24 hours ahead to reserve a place.

In addition, we’ll be hosting a DGR 101 before the foraging event. Meet us inside the park at 72nd St. and Central Park West at 11am. Join a discussion about the reality of the world we face, basic introduction to the DGR strategy, and tactics to create a true resistance movement. In love, rage, and resistance!

As we work to build a strategic and effective culture of resistance, we must work towards further radicalizing those who work towards social change. The People’s Climate March will attract tens of thousands of concerned individuals and is being billed as the “largest climate march in history.” But let us as radicals be clear that it is being funded by corporate money, contains no concrete demands, and will easily be utilized as a photo op by corporate green-washing. In the work of revolutionary politics, Deep Green Resistance NY will be participating in the march and the surrounding events, but let us remember the balance between being co-opted and being able to manipulate the millions of dollars for revolutionary purposes. Help us continue to build the culture of resistance that will be needed to dismantle this destructive system. There are lots of interesting events this weekend to help us mobilize such a culture. Our members will be at these events this weekend, so please look for our flyers and come introduce yourselves!

REFORM IS NOT ENOUGH

We are standing in a world on the brink of extinction. What are we going to do about it?

“They only did what we would expect all human beings to do; to use their deaths, if they could not save their lives, to weaken or hinder the enemy as much as possible; to use even their doomed selves for making extermination harder, or maybe impossible, not a smooth-running process… if they could do it, so could others. Why didn’t they?”
-Bruno Bettelheim, concentration camp survivor, on the 12th Sonderkommando revolt
