"No Compromise in Defense of Mother Earth!" - Earth First! Earth First! is a group of radical environmentalists that formed in the American Southwest in the spring of 1980, founded by Dave Foreman, Mike Roselle, Howie Wolke, Bart Koehler, and Ron Kezar, among others. Earth First! quickly came to national attention with their "cracking" of Glen Canyon Dam activist stunt, which was performed and filmed in the spring of 1981. Edward Abbey is considered to be the "literary father" of the group, and the monkey wrench is their ever-present emblem and tool. "Earth First! is the beginning of the new, bold environmental movement. And 'Earth First! The Radical Environmental Journal' is its voice" (Dave Foreman, 1980s). The late-1980s and early-1990s were a tumultuous time for Earth First! Law enforcement cracked down on its members, and various internal issues and factions began to form within the group. Earth First! embraced non-hierarchical structures and organic methods of organization and growth, while continuing to focus on direct action in defense of wilderness as its primary focus. Through the 1990's, 2000's, and 2010's, the journal continued to be published in various forms under the direction of a diverse and rotating collective of voices from within the broad Earth First! movement. Regular print publication of the Earth First! Journal under this title seems to have ceased sometime in the early 2020s, though the movement still survives and maintains a presence online and on social media. The front cover of this issue features an image from the Finnish Hyokyaalto Eco Action Group's occupation of Finland's Hanhikivi Cape nuclear power plant and the rear cover shows a Finnish coastal forest that was clear cut by the same nuclear project. The accompanying story "Hyokyaalto Eco Action Group Defends Finland's Coastal Forests From Nuclear Expansion" by Rabbit is printed on pages 19-23 of this issue. Front inner cover shows a striking image captioned "July 30, 2015, thirteen climbers hang from the St. Johns Bridge in Portland, Oregon, to block Shell Oil's icebreaker from heading to the Arctic." The accompanying story "Fighting the Leviathan: Activists in the Northwest Put Their Bodies Between Chell and the Arctic" by Sasha is printed on pages 4-9 of this issue.
