Deep Green Resistance

A Weekend Workshop with Derrick Jensen, Aric McBay and Lierre Keith

March 26-28, 2010
University of Alberta
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

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
Building It Up: A Culture of Resistance
Liberal vs Radical: Some Conceptual Basics
Fighting Future Fascism
Security Culture
Q & A with Derrick

Cost is a sliding scale $200 to $450 CND ($188 to $423 US) with some subsidies available. A sliding scale is an honor system where each participant decides for herself what to pay. Send whatever feels right to you given your life circumstances.

There's also billeting in the area if you need a place to stay. Email Lierre at lierrekeith@yahoo.com with questions about those.

"DGR is an antidote to futility, inaction, paralysis and despair. Finally, I can see a way forward.”

If you want to bring DGR to your area, write to Lierre at lierrekeith@yahoo.com.

We are excited that 'graduates' of our DGR workshops and other activities working on the same issues have decided to stage their own workshops and activities that draw on our curriculum. We heartily encourage people to run their own actionist workshops at this crucial time. At the same time, we (Derrick, Lierre, and Aric) have no way of vetting or checking all of the people using the term 'Deep Green Resistance' for their workshops. So any 'DGR' workshop that isn't actually offered by Derrick, Lierre, and Aric is a separate entity offered by separate people or organizations, with no guarantees from us. We take no responsibility for their content or presentation, but we wish them the best.
