What is Deep Green Resistance?

Deep Green Resistance is an analysis, a strategy, and a movement being born - the only movement of its kind.

As an analysis, it reveals the last 10,000 years of human history the rise and dominance of civilization as the culture of death that is now threatening every living being on Earth.

As a strategy, it critiques ineffective lifestyle actions and explains their inevitable failure to stop the destruction of people, species, and the planet. In contrast, DGR offers a concrete plan for how to stop that destruction.
As an aboveground movement, just now taking its first steps, Deep Green Resistance is based on this analysis and implementing this strategy. And we're recruiting.

No more ineffective actions piecemeal, reactive, and sad. No more feel-good, magical-thinking, navel-gazing, consumer-based, capitalist-approved denial and dead ends.

The goal of DGR is to deprive the rich of their ability to steal from the poor and the powerful of their ability to destroy the planet. This will require defending and rebuilding just and sustainable human communities nestled inside repaired and restored landbases. This is a vast undertaking but it needs to be said: it can be done.

Industrial civilization can be stopped.

DGR s strategy involves two separate parts of the movement - an aboveground and an underground. The aboveground works for sustainable, just, and participatory institutions, and assists the aboveground frontline activists with loyalty and material support. And in any resistance scenario, the underground dismantles the strategic infrastructure of power. This is a basic tactic of both militaries and insurgents the world over for the simple reason that it works. But such actions alone are never a sufficient strategy for achieving a just outcome. This means that any strategy aiming for a just future must include a call to build direct democracies based on human rights and sustainable material cultures. Which means that the different branches of resistance movements must work in tandem: the aboveground and belowground, the militants and the nonviolent, the aboveground frontline activists and the cultural workers. We need it all.

And we need courage. The word courage comes from the same root as coeur, the French word for heart. We need all the courage of which the human heart is capable, forged into both weapon and shield to defend what is left of this planet. And the lifeblood of courage is, of course, love.

So while DGR is about fighting back, in the end this movement is about love. The songbirds and the salmon need your heart, no matter how weary, because even a broken heart is still made of love. They need your heart because they are disappearing, slipping into that longest night of extinction, and the resistance is nowhere in sight. We will have to build that resistance from whatever comes to hand: whispers and prayers, history and dreams, from our bravest words and braver actions. It will be hard, there will be a cost, and in too many implacable dawns it will seem impossible. But we will have to do it anyway. So gather your heart and join with every living being. With love as our First Cause, how can we fail?

DGR Action Groups

If you have been waiting for a serious, organized, strategic resistance movement, welcome.

If you're interested in starting a DGR Action Group:

First Steps: Read and Contact Us

All documents cited below are available on the DGR website on the Action Page. To start, we want to make sure we're both on the same page. Please read the Decisive Ecological Warfare Strategy, all 4 phases, as well as the Action Page, the Aboveground Strategy, Statement of Principles, Code of Conduct, and Security page. Once you're done reading, if you are interested in starting a group, email or call us and we'll set up a time to talk on the phone.

Also, all DGR aboveground groups and their members are required to adhere to the Statement of Principles and Code of Conduct in order to call themselves Deep Green Resistance. Any aboveground person or group calling themselves DGR and acting against the Statement of Principles and/or Code of Conduct does not have the support, collaboration, consent, or approval, of DGR or anyone associated with DGR and will not be allowed to call themselves DGR.
