Private intelligence agency Stratfor has labeled DGR's anti-oppression work, solidarity with indigenous groups, and defense of natural communities, "eco-terrorism."   AustinChronicle Article  This claim is flatly untrue, as the speakers will make clear. The event is hosted by DGR Austin. Attendees will also learn how to get involved with DGR Austin and attend local programs, including Edible Plant Walks and Monthly Discussion Groups. Deep Green Resistance is the only radical movement of its kind working to stop the destruction of the planet. DGR's vision for a sustainable future on a livable planet includes dismantling industrial civilization before it destroys all life. Industrial civilization will be replaced by thousands of cultures that will arise organically from and fully integrate themselves into their local ecosystems. Community-based, directly democratic communities are central to DGR's vision of human society. Deep Green Resistance has a plan of action for anyone determined to fight for this planet---and win.
