Callout For Gathering Workshops!!

Call­out For Gath­er­ing Work­shops!!

This year’s Earth­First! sum­mer gath­er­ing will take place between 31st August and 1st Sep­tem­ber 2022. We are look­ing for­ward to get­ting things rolling again after two years with­out a gath­er­ing, wel­com­ing peo­ple back with five days of skill-shar­ing, net­work­ing, plan­ning, and re-group­ing at a secret loca­tion in the South­west.

While lots of peo­ple and groups are talk­ing about eco­log­i­cal degra­da­tion and cli­mate cat­a­stro­phe at the moment, it’s more impor­tant than ever for EF! to pro­vide eco-anar­chist per­spec­tives, draw­ing the con­nec­tions between social and eco­log­i­cal dom­i­na­tion, and the role of the state and cap­i­tal­ism.

We want to see all the old EF faces, the envi­ro­men­tal move­ment needs a sense of con­ti­nu­ity now more than ever. We also want to wel­come in new peo­ple, there are so many folks out there who’ve got­ten involved with eco­log­i­cal defense and direct action over the last few years. We see this gath­er­ing as a great oppor­tu­ni­ty to bring peo­ple togeth­er and push for­wards a rad­i­cal, anar­chist per­spec­tive on envi­ron­men­tal issues.

EF! is a grass­roots space for skill shar­ing and net­work­ing – we want your skills, knowl­edge and per­spec­tives! In the past we have had work­shops on a wide range of stuff, from online secu­ri­ty to
mass cater­ing, from night­time nav­i­ga­tion skills to ret­ro­spec­tives on Twyford Down and SHAC.

We are par­tic­u­lar­ly inter­est­ed this year in work­shops look­ing at abo­li­tion and trans­for­ma­tive jus­tice.

If you have an idea for a work­shop you’d like to give at this years gath­er­ing, please email us at earthfirstuk@riseup.net
We are look­ing for­ward to hear­ing from you!
