A “Who's-Who” of leading environmental thinkers and activists will headline a special day-long conference at UC Berkeley on Sunday, November, 13, convened and led by writer-philosopher Derrick Jensen.
The 'Earth at Risk' conference will feature Arundhati Roy, Chris Hedges, and Thomas Linzey among others in a day-long series of interviews with Jensen before a live audience.
The theme will be the need to build a 'deep green resistance movement' to confront the array of powerful interests that currently prevent needed action on curbing the activities that threaten the survival of our planet.
Speakers include:
* Award winning author ARUNDHATI ROY
* Journalist and author CHRIS HEDGES
* Author and philosopher DERRICK JENSEN
* Deep Green Resistance activist and author LIERRE KEITH
* Political artist and revolutionary STEPHANIE MCMILLAN
* Historian and Anti-colonial activist WAZIYATAWIN
* Anti-corporate activist THOMAS LINZEY
* Deep Green Resistance activist and author ARIC MCBAY

Our planet is under serious threat from industrial civilization. Yet activists are not considering strategies that might actually prevent the looming biotic collapse the Earth is facing. We need to deprive the rich of their ability to steal from the poor and the powerful of their ability to destroy the planet. We need a serious resistance movement that includes all levels of direct action - action that can match the scale of the problem.
