  Back in early June Portland, OR. was host to the amazing Resistance Ecology conference. Videos of the various panels are slowly being posted at the Burning Hearts Media TUMBLR, but we figured we would share a few of them here as well. First up is TALON co-founder Josh Harper and dirty south rabble rouser Scott Crow on the topic of anarchism and animal rights.

  TALON Conspirator #2: Resistance Ecology

  07.27.13 | Permalink

  Editors note: Since this site’s inception, the volunteers at TALON have felt that our purpose  is not to catalog the past, but to inform the present. We do not exist as activist nostalgia, but to guide new generations by sharing information about the errors and victories of those who came before them. Our hope was always that modern campaigns would be built with these lessons, and that we could share their own errors and victories as a long term effort to refine our movement’s tactics and strategies.

  The TALON Conspirator posts will highlight our favorite organizations and the facets of our shared history that inspire them. Our second post in this series is written by the Resistance Ecology collective and details Portland, Oregon’s latest contribution to the earth and animal liberation movements: their new publication.

  Resistance Ecology is an organization based in Portland, OR. We want to
  build a movement for animal and ecological liberation and resistance
  that is multi-layered, unified, diverse and intersectional. Animal
  liberation and radical ecology do not need to be isolated, disparate,
  ahistorical, and fragmented movements. They can and must become part of
  the language and dialogue of social justice. We consider ourselves
  allies to a broad spectrum of social and political struggle. We focus on
  education and analysis, networking and resource sharing, opening and
  maintaining channels of communication, identifying strategic
  movement-wide targets and campaigns, and most importantly sustaining
  relationships within and between movements. Currently, Resistance
  Ecology is working on a movement publication, organizing an annual
  national conference, creating a news website, and planning organizing
  tours to lay the foundation for future networking.

  The first issue of our publication serves as a “teaser”, preliminary
  copy. Because we do not yet have the readership or reach that we hope to
  have in the near future, we wanted to create something that gives a
  glimpse of what Resistance Ecology has the potential to be, with your
  participation. This issue is a short collection of essays and analysis
  that captures the spirit of our work, but it is by no means a complete
  work. We need your contributions, your action reports, your insights,
  your critiques, and your ideas to get this project off of the ground.
  Our publication project was created in the spirit of the movement
  periodicals No Compromise, Earth First! Journal, Resistance, Do or Die,
  Arkangel, the SHAC USA Newsletter, Species Traitor, and 2600. We want
  to capture movement-wide participation, inter-movement appreciation and
  respect, self-critique, reports from the trenches, news, analysis, and
  most importantly, dialogue. Like during the initial issues of No
  Compromise, our movement is at a pivotal and vulnerable moment, and like
  No Compromise, we want Resistance Ecology to serve as a means of
  connection, hope, and a creative future.
