MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 2, 1997: Earth First! Activist, feminist and IWW labor organizer Judi Bari died. Bari, and her comrade, Darryl Cherney, survived a terrorist bomb attack in Oakland, CA in 1990, when they were organizing Redwood Summer, a 3-month campaign of nonviolent direct actions, during the summer of 1990, to end the clear-cutting of northern California redwood forests. The police and FBI immediately blamed her for the bombing, claiming that she was the terrorist and that the bomb was intended for logging companies. They arrested her and handcuffed her to her hospital bed, as she lay there with a shattered pelvis. Bari and Cherney were eventually exonerated and won a settlement for the FBI’s role in violating their civil liberties. The bomber was never caught. In addition to their organizing and activism, Bari and Cherney were also musical composers and performers. Their song, “Will the Fetus Be Aborted,” (to the tune of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,”) was performed by Jello Biafra and Mojo Nixon on their Prairie Home Invasion album.</p><p>Bari was instrumental in organizing Local 1 of the IWW, an effort to unite timber workers and environmentalists around the same goal of ending the clear-cutting of the forests. Some of the actions during Redwood Summer included preparing breakfast at base camp and getting it to the timber workers at 5 am, before they began work, in an effort to talk with them and organize them. Redwood Summer, as a whole, was well-organized. Veteran Direct-Action activists hosted numerous organizing events in the months that preceded the actions, to train activists in their legal rights, direct action tactics, security, jail solidarity, etc. However, there was little to no training in labor organizing or class solidarity. Consequently, at least for the actions in which I participated, the conversations with timber workers tended to be privileged activists talking down to the workers, telling them how they should be thinking and acting, and the timber workers yelling at them and threatening them. One environmentalist was clobbered with an axe handle. Others were attacked with rocks. And on at least one occasion, assailants fired guns at base camp. Overall, the actions did not stop the clear cutting of the forests, but they did slow things down for a while, and they did reduce Louisiana Pacific’s profits.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IWW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IWW</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/earthfirst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>earthfirst</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/judibari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>judibari</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fbi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fbi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/terrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>terrorism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bombing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bombing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>police</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecology</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/redwoodsummer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>redwoodsummer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/folkmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>folkmusic</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solidarity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/classconsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>classconsciousness</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jail</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/directaction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>directaction</span></a></p>

DoomsdaysCW<p>So, fracturing amongst the various environmental and social justice groups has been going on as long as I've been in the movement.

We either merge, join forces, or we lose,” <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NaomiKlein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NaomiKlein</span></a>, 2019.</p><p>Sophie Shepherd<br>Jan 09, 2025, Common Dreams</p><p>"Yet my optimism arises out of a different trend in the climate movement: Climate activists are (finally) showing up for other movements.</p><p>"Historically, the climate movement has attempted to isolate itself from other political and social issues, arguing that climate policy is 'just science.' This majority-white movement has failed to see that fossil fuel emissions are part of a larger history of the Global North <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colonizing</span></a> and exploiting both people and the planet for decades. The climate crisis is a symptom of a broader exploitative system. To change that system, we need a united left that will fight for all people—not just those who identify as environmentalists.</p><p>"In 2020, climate activists were rightfully berated for not showing up enough for the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackLivesMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackLivesMatter</span></a> movement. Thankfully, I think many climate activists heard that message because today, they have come out in droves for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a>.</p><p>"Many of the college students who organized campus encampments last spring to urge their school administrators to divest from Israel and the U.S. imperial war machine were students who had previously organized for climate justice. I witnessed this firsthand at the Claremont Colleges when I was a senior: The student organizations demanding fossil fuel divestment fell to the wayside as the crisis in Gaza intensified. Globally, many climate organizations chose to speak out and take direct action to call for a cease-fire in Gaza.</p><p>"But none of these climate activists had stopped caring about the climate. In fact, they often pointed out that Israel’s actions were not just <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genocide</span></a>, but <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecocide</span></a> as well. The onslaught of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bombs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bombs</span></a> dropped on Gaza will contaminate the soil and groundwater in the region for decades. And the destruction has produced at least 54.5 million tons of carbon dioxide, equal to the annual emissions of 16 coal-fired power plants.</p><p>"Climate activists cannot claim to fight for a just future and stay silent about genocide. 'If we, as climate activists, aren’t able to see and speak up against the current <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/marginalization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marginalization</span></a> and oppression and killing of people today, then I don’t think we should be able to call ourselves <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/climatejustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climatejustice</span></a> [activists],' climate champion <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GretaThunberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GretaThunberg</span></a> told Al Jazeera in early December 2024.</p><p>"As Trump prepares to enter the White House, we will undoubtedly see more people oppressed and killed. Among the many groups who are vulnerable under his administration are undocumented immigrants, whom Trump has vowed to round up and deport.</p><p>"Migrant justice has long been intertwined with climate justice. As climate change makes many areas around the world uninhabitable, climate refugees have no choice but to leave their home.</p><p>In response to Trump’s election, climate organizers Jeff Ordower and Ahmed Gaya called on their fellow activists to bring their experiences of shutting down pipelines and coal plants to fight the incarceration and deportation we can expect under Trump. Climate activists should answer this call: The struggles for migrant justice and climate justice are intertwined, and we must meet the needs of the current moment.</p><p>"'[Climate is] not more urgent than kids being ripped away from their families and dying in the desert—anyone who tries to win that argument is monstrous themselves. We either merge, join forces, or we lose,' writer and activist Naomi Klein said in 2019.</p><p>"With Trump as president, things will undoubtedly get worse before they get better. We need to build a strong left to fight fascism during Trump’s presidency and to build a just green future in its aftermath. To do so, climate activists must put their words into action when they say they fight for every living being."</p><p><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/climate-movement-fight-fascism?utm_source=dlvr.it&amp;utm_medium=mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">commondreams.org/opinion/clima</span><span class="invisible">te-movement-fight-fascism?utm_source=dlvr.it&amp;utm_medium=mastodon</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoGenocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoBombs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoBombs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRightsAreNeverWrong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRightsAreNeverWrong</span></a></p>
