Resistance Ecology #2 is now available online!

This is a particularly special issue of Resistance Ecology, and we hope that it stands the test of time as learning material that provokes critical thinking about animal and ecological activism and what we can do to strengthen the resilience of our movement. When soliciting our community for submissions, we had one specific goal in mind: we wanted to create a lasting resource for the grassroots that would serve as a primer on horizontal mobilization, coalition building, and solidarity. Our inspiration was the Earth First! Direct Action Manual, as it has become a mainstay movement asset for grassroots activists. We wanted to create a similar end product, that instead focused on the why and how questions surrounding grassroots organizing, momentum building, and cross-movement solidarity. In doing so, we may be raising more questions than we are answering. But we cannot shy away out of convenience or discomfort. These are very big questions, these are very important questions, and these are questions that need our sincere attention and dialogue.

We hope you enjoy this special issue, Animal Liberation, Land Defense, and Solidarity: A primer for animal activists. There are some really amazing submissions from a diversity of perspectives and we are eternally grateful to those friends that took the time write for us. These pieces do not construct a complete resolution to the challenges that we face, but taken together, they form a springboard from which we begin face them.

Thanks for viewing!
