Why Deep Green? Pt. I

For the first year anniversary of Deep Green Philly I muse upon why the deep green perspective is necessary. More coherent installments to follow, I promise. Many thanks to all who have contributed to and supported Deep Green Philly over the past year. Without your help none of this would be possible!

Deep Green Chris Hedges

After Chris Hedges finished speaking at the 2012 Left Forum in New York City, my comrade Dusty and I caught up with him at a nearby coffee shop. We of course spoke about the environmental crisis, and we also explored Chris Hedges’ views on nonviolence.

Since the recent controversy over his statements about black bloc, some have been quick to dismiss Chris Hedges altogether. I don’t believe that this is the best way to handle him and his views. You may not agree with his strategies and pronouncements, but Chris Hedges raises some valid points that we must grapple with, especially since they are views shared by a large number of people in this country. There exist certain “facts on the ground”, like it or not. Is violent struggle feasible in a heavily militarized and policed “totalitarian state” (as Hedges refers to the U.S.)? Can we build an effective resistance movement without mass public support? We must wrestle with these difficult issues if we want to take our movements forward. Hear him out and make up your own mind.

Dr. Maggie Zhou & Climate SOS

Dr. Maggie Zhou is a molecular biologist with a background in genetics and computational biology. She currently devotes much of her life and energy to activism and educating people about the seriousness of the ecological crisis our planet is facing.

We spoke about a wide range of interrelated topics, all of which point to the fact that there needs to be a dramatic paradigm shift in the dominant cultures of this world if we are to avert disaster. If environmental degradation is not slowed or halted, there might not be a future for the human race. This is not hyperbole. Extinction events have happened on this planet in the distant past, and industrial civilization is on the verge of causing yet another one, one that could and must be avoided.

Dr. Maggie Zhou presents some stark realities, but also emphasizes that the future is not completely without hope. The choice is really up to us… I’m very pleased to bring you this important interview.

Pam Africa & Cynthia McKinney

Audio highlights from last night’s event! Cynthia McKinney along with Pam Africa, Dr. Anthony Monteiro, Larry Hales, Berta Joubert-Ceci and other area activists spoke last night in Philly about building a genuine, grassroots People’s Power Movement.

Additional info from the faceook event page:

The Occupy Wall Street Movement and its slogan “the 99% vs. the 1%” opened new political space. This new movement underscores the need for a broader peoples struggle for our basic needs and rights, with a program appealing to all workers, especially people of color who face disproportionate levels of poverty, homelessness, unemployment and repression.

Only mass pressure from the streets can bring about the change that is desperately needed. In this election year will we be silenced once more into accepting the “lesser of evils” at the ballot box, or can we build a broad fight-back movement to make our voices and demands heard, loud and clear?

The NATIONAL TOUR to BUILD PEOPLES POWER will:

- Encourage a nationwide discussion on a Peoples Power program to demand jobs, housing and education, and an end to racism, sexism, and LGBTQ oppression, the massive deportations and imperialist wars.
– The tour will target the root of these ills – the capitalist system – and the need to end this brutal system and discuss a fight back program.
– The Peoples Power Tour will also share information on struggles around the country from May Day marches to Occupations in Washington for Justice for Mumia to protests outside the Republican and Democratic Party Conventions, and more, including local struggles in each city where the tour stops.

Jeff “Free” Luers Interview

Jeff “Free” Luers served 9.5 years of an almost 23 year sentence for destroying three planet polluting SUV’s in 2000. His love for nature and his passion for anti-authoritarian activism never wavered during his imprisonment, and he regrets nothing. He is truly an inspiration.

This is one of my favorite interviews, and I can’t believe I haven’t posted it on this site sooner. It originally aired on The Authority Smashing! Hour in September of 2010.
