Deep Green Resistance
A Weekend Workshop with Derrick Jensen, Aric
McBay and Lierre Keith
We live in the most destructive culture to ever exist.
In Derrick's talks around the country he repeatedly
asks his audiences, "Does anyone think this culture
will voluntarily transform to a sustainable way of
living?" No one ever says yes. If we really accept the
seriousness of the situation, what would that mean for
our strategy and tactics? This is the urgent question
we will be exploring over the weekend.
Topics to include:
Organizing the Resistance
Bringing It Down: Bottlenecks and Levers
Security Culture
Liberal vs Radical: Some Conceptual Basics
Fighting Future Fascism
Preparing for the Crash
Q & A with Derrick
Lincoln City, OR /
October 24-26, 2008
Cost is sliding scale $250-475.
Registration deadline was September 23, BUT we still have space so email ASAP if you want to come.
DGR is being held at B’nai B’rith Camp in Lincoln, OR. Lodging is dorm-style sleeping,
with both single-sex and mixed housing available. For more info on the camp see:

MEALS
To the best of our ability, meals will be made from local, sustainable ingredients, and based
on principles of native nutrition. We will also have a vegetarian option, some of which will be
appropriate for vegans. A complete menu will be emailed to everyone so you can all see what
works for you and what you may need to supplement with your own food. There is a large
kitchen with plenty of fridge space, so if the menu doesn’t work for you for any reason, you
are welcome to bring your own food. All we ask is that you let us know beforehand so we can
schedule time for you in the kitchen.
WORKSHIFTS
There is no paid staff and, alas, there are no house elves, which means
everyone able-bodied will have to pitch in and do a workshift in the
kitchen.
WORK-EXCHANGE
All the work exchange positions have been taken.
COMMUNITY NORMS
1. Violent, abusive, or threatening behavior of any kind will not be tolerated. Anyone engaging
in such behavior will be asked to leave.
2. This event is chem-free. No alcohol or illegal drugs are allowed. Please leave your pets home.
3. We ask everyone to be conscious of the social privilege and power that you have; the ways
that privilege affects your behavior; and to be open to learning without defensiveness. We all
start somewhere but we need to move on from that somewhere.
4. What we have in common (a deep knowledge that our planet is being killed; a passion to stop
that destruction) is more important than our differences. We may disagree on a range of specific
issues (children, food, nonviolence...) and those disagreements may be painful. But we ask that
participants disagree in ways that are respectful, civil, and kind.
