Revision as of 02:24, 11 April 2018
Earth First! is a far-left environmental group founded on April 4, 1980 by Dave Foreman, Mike Roselle, Howie Wolke, Bart Koehler, and Ron Kezar.[1]
Earth First! members have committed numerous acts of violence and sabotage (also referred to as eco-terrorism and eco-sabotage).
Kieran Suckling, founder of the Center for Biological Diversity worked with Earth First![2]
Their publication is the Earth First! Journal.[3]
Background
On February 12 2002, Federal Bureau of Investigation's James F. Jarboe, Domestic Terrorism Section Chief, Counterterrorism Division testified in part before the House Resources Committee, Subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health:
- "Disaffected environmentalists, in 1980, formed a radical group called Earth First! and engaged in a series of protests and civil disobedience events. In 1984, however, members introduced "tree spiking" (insertion of metal or ceramic spikes in trees in an effort to damage saws) as a tactic to thwart logging. In 1992, the ELF Earth Liberation Front was founded in Brighton, England, by Earth First! members who refused to abandon criminal acts as a tactic when others wished to mainstream Earth First!.[4]
Earth First! Speakers Bureau
The Earth First! Speakers Bureau[5] includes:
1987 Earth First! Directory
The following was published at the Earth First! Journal in 1987:[6]
- "Earth First! The Radical Environmental Journal is an independent entity within the international Earth First! movement, and is not the newsletter of the
Earth First! movement. It does, however, provide a forum for Earth First1ers around the work!. This directory is provided as a service to independent EF! groups. If you would like to be listed as a contact or as a group, please contact Bob Kaspar...Bob acts as coordinator for local EF! groups for the EF! movement.

- MONTANA RENDEZVOUS by Linda Wolf by treasurer Randy T. Restless.
- "As befits a group with no formal structure, the role of Earth First! in Montana was the first topic of discussion....Mike Bader presented a slide show on the Badger/Two Medicine area, after which Woody Kipp of the Blackfeet Tribe added his concerns for the spiritual value of the land. That night, the party started with Walkin’ Jim’s inspirational musical slide show and Greg Keeler’s witty environmental songs...On Sunday, discussion of the soon-to-be-introduced Montana wilderness bill led to the idea of organizing a huge “near-riot” in Missoula on March 2nd. Phil Knight talked about the rainforest situation. Before leaving, everyone formed one last circle to wrap up the rendezvous with Walkin’ Jim’s “Power Song.” And we all agreed, “For the Earth Now We Must Stand!”
