Do or Die.” —MK Gandhi It’s time to celebrate our resistance: digger diving, window smashing, pleasant picnicking, office occupying, hoody wearing, GM crop trashing, squat cracking, sun lit lovin’, machine burning, treeliving—total fucking anarchy. It’s time to mourn for our moment. Over the last decade thousands of species have been wiped out of existence. Vast forests—charred stumps. Coral reefs bleached dead by warmed seas. Millions starved within the prison of civilisation. Wild peoples massacred, enslaved and pauperised. It’s time to strategise how to make a real impact on this apocalypse. Look seriously at our strengths and weaknesses and pull together to resist. The empire is powerful but the spring is growing. It’s a challenge like no other, but with love, luck and hard resolve we can transcend. Part One: Recent Pre-History An Insurgency of Dreams “Defend the Collective Imagination. Beneath the cobblestones, the beach” —Slogan daubed in Paris, May 1968 The radical ecological movement was born from the world-wide revolutionary upsurge of the 1960s and ‘70s. Love of the earth and for each other has always been with us, but in that period these feelings exploded across the world in a way they hadn’t for decades. In nearly every land people came together and resisted. In some areas there were decisive victories for people in the battle against power; in others, power won hands down. The epic struggle of the Vietnamese people and the anti-Vietnam war actions across the world; urban guerrillas across Europe; barricades in Paris; the European squatting movement, the brutal end of the Prague Spring; the rise of the Black Power movement. This upsurge brought with it the (re)birth of the feminist, ecological, indigenous and libertarian ideas that now form the basis of our worldview. Authoritarian Communism had dominated the radical movements ever since the Bolshevik Seeing the horrors inflicted on our imprisoned counter-revolution. After having been physically non-human relations—in laboratories, abattoirs and exterminated in country after country, factory farms—the animal liberation movement anarchist/libertarian groups started once again to was born with sabotage at its centre. grow.

    Compassion Over Killing Home Page http://web.archive.org/web/20010212020030/www.cok-online.org/abolit... Compassion Over Killing COK Home The Abolitionist Calender Literature Merchandise By Mike Markarian What You Can Do When I first became involved in the animal rights movement, about ten years ago, I was active with both grassroots and national groups. Our Join Us animal rights group in Buffalo, N.Y., held numerous grassroots protests at local fur stores and rodeos. And when PETA called and asked us to Links help with a demo, or when the Fund for Animals called and asked us to help with a hunt sabotage, we were more than happy to work with them. It seemed to be a very cooperative and symbiotic relationship —grassroots groups needed the national groups to provide well-researched information, literature, ready-made posters, and other materials, and the national groups needed local activists for support at local events. Years later, I work for a national group, I have been called a and I am still very active with grassroots “sell-out” and a groups. But it seems that the gap between “compromiser” the two parts of our movement is simply because I work widening. Among the grassroots movement, there seems to be a growing for an organization stigma against national groups. I have that is willing to pay been called a “sell-out” and a me to help animals “compromiser” simply because I work full-time....I can for an organization that is willing to pay certainly handle the me to help animals full-time (rather than name-calling--after having to deliver pizzas or tend bar to fund my activism).

  • Reclaim the Streets, the Protestival and the Creative Transformation of the City
    Finisterra, XLVii, 94, 2012, pp. 103-118103 RECLAIM THE STREETS, THE PROTESTIVAL aND THE CREaTiVE TRaNSFoRMaTioN oF THE CiTY anDré carMo1 abstract – the main goal of this article is to reflect upon the relationship between creativity and urban transformation. it stems from the assumption that creativity has a para- doxical nature as it is simultaneously used for the production of the neoliberal city and by those seeking to challenge it and build alternative urban realities. first, we put forth a criti- cal review of the creative city narrative, focused on richard florida’s work, as it progres- sively became fundamental for the neoliberal city. afterwards, and contrasting with that dominant narrative, we describe a trajectory of Reclaim the Streets that provides the basis for our discussion of the protestival (protest + carnival) as its main creative force of urban transformation. Keywords: Creativity, urban transformation, Reclaim the Streets, protestival. Resumo – reclaiM the streets, o protestival e a transForMação criativa Da ciDaDe. O principal objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre a relação existente entre criativi- dade e transformação urbana. Parte-se do princípio de que a criatividade tem uma natureza paradoxal, na medida em que é simultaneamente usada para a produção da cidade neolibe- ral, mas também por aqueles que procuram desafiá-la e construir realidades urbanas alter- nativas. Primeiro, fazemos uma revisão crítica da narrativa da cidade criativa, focada no trabalho de richard florida, por esta se ter progressivamente tornado fundamental para a cidade neoliberal. Depois, e contrastando com essa narrativa dominante, descrevemos uma trajetória do Reclaim the Streets que providencia a base para a nossa discussão do protesti- val (protesto + carnaval) como a sua principal força criativa de transformação urbana.

What brilliant news we read concerning Girton College extension in Cambridge' Obviously, the whole animal rights brigade is winning. Just as Shamrock Farm had to close, followed later by the notorious Hillgrove Farm run by Farmer Brown, so Cambridge University has had to capitulate. Well, what is the next animal Belsen we need to approach? Undoubtedly Huntingdon, and not forgetting Newchurch! Yes, and an Oxford before it begins! No single group can claim victory for what has happened at Cambridge. Nor would they wish to! Larger organisations, which are well financed, had certainly contributed; But, for myself, I think of militant and highly respectable individuals who have tirelessly worked behind the scenes. And if any single individual deserves adulation and yet would be the very last to admit it then I would single out Miss Joan Court - a true veteran campaigner with a heart of gold for both animals and humans. And, have you heard the latest? This most sprightly octogenarian hopes to ride the high seas. Yes, as a member of the crew of Sea Shepherd's 'Farley Mowett'; a modern day ark for the protection of seals from despicable and inhumane carnage. Yes, congratulations and bon voyage to our beloved Joan of Ark. One to whom I was honoured to be linked, while she led the demo below through Cambridge: 1 Militancy Discarded For Shallower Worship Well, our task is not to sit back with the knowledge that we've all contributed towards a finished work well done!

    DISSERTATION PROFESSIONALIZATION, FACTIONALISM, AND SOCIAL MOVEMENT SUCCESS: A CASE STUDY ON NONHUMAN ANIMAL RIGHTS MOBILIZATION Submitted by Corey Lee Wrenn Department of Sociology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2016 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Michael Carolan Lynn Hempel Michael Lacy Marcela Velasco Copyright by Corey Lee Wrenn 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT PROFESSIONALIZATION, FACTIONALISM, AND SOCIAL MOVEMENT SUCCESS: A CASE STUDY ON NONHUMAN ANIMAL RIGHTS MOBILIZATION This project explores the intra-movement interactions between professionalized and radical factions in the social movement arena using a content analysis of movement literature produced by the Nonhuman Animal rights movement between 1980 and 2013. Professionalized factions with greater symbolic capital are positioned to monopolize claimsmaking, disempower competing factions, and replicate their privilege and legitimacy. Radical factions, argued to be important variables in a movement’s health, are thus marginalized, potentially to the detriment of movement success and the constituency for whom they advocate. Specifically, this study explores the role of professionalization in manipulating the tactics and goals of social movement organizations and how the impacts of professionalization may be aggravating factional boundaries. Boundary maintenance may prevent critical discourse within the movement, and it may also provoke the “mining” of radical claimsmaking for symbols that have begun to resonate within the movement and the public. Analysis demonstrates a number of important consequences to professionalization that appear to influence the direction of factional disputes, and ultimately, the shape of the movement. Results indicate some degree of factional fluidity, but professionalization does appear to be a dominant force on movement trajectories by concentrating power in the social change space.
