Earth First! Fist, Volume 20

1/2 Fish, et al., eds., Earth First! Journal 20, no. 1 (1 November 1999). Republished by the Environment & Society Portal, Multimedia Library. http://www.environmentandsociety.org/node/7049.


In this issue of Earth First! Journal, Alicia Littletree gives an update on the struggle for justice for the bomb attack against Darryl Cherney and the late Judi Bari. In addition, Michael Robinson calls for attention to the Mexican wolves, and Gina Lynn puts focus on animal rights activism.    .    

Every issue is different, evolving in no particular direction, anarchistic in its progress. Every collective member is equal, and all decisions about the content of the Journal are based on consensus. Meetings can be heated—voices raised over beliefs, tears shed and doors slammed in angry retreat. They call also be pleasant, full of smiles and witty retorts.
