I love, love, love these doormats. Too bad they already sold out at Target.com after being featured on BoingBoing.
Crossing my fingers the company who made these will come out with a “You Can Talk to My Attorney.”
On a more serious note, if you are an activist who has experienced harassment because of your [...]

From EcoRazzi:
And so it begins: Earthrace, one of the fastest powerboats on the planet, has been given a full Sea Shepherd makeover. From kevlar body armor to undetectable broadband radar, nightvision systems, Iridium openport comms, and a new paint job that actually scatters radar signals and provides additional stealth. If Earthrace was badass before, it’s [...]

The Center for Constitutional Rights has a great new legal guide for activists called “If An Agent Knocks.”
From CCR:

Last year, Canadian police arrested Sea Shepherd’s First Officer, Peter Hammarstedt, and Captain, Alex Cornelissen. In Canada, it is illegal to witness or document the slaughter of the seals. They were charged with approaching, witnessing and documenting the killing.
They were interrogated for 4 1/2 hours, during which time they said absolutely nothing, refusing to even [...]

The Let Live conference in Portland was fantastic, even better than last year. I was invited to open the conference (which was quite a daunting task, because my talk was followed by vegan soft serve ice cream and karaoke) and talk about building strong communities within the environmental and animal rights movements.
I fully [...]

Peregrine and Auryn have put out a Green Scare benefit CD, and were kind enough to offer a box of them for sale on GreenIsTheNewRed.com.
“Shackles, interrogation, their prisons, their profits, their jails detain, but they can’t kill this rage.”
Only $8, postage paid, and every dollar goes to raising awareness of the Green Scare (specifically, [...]

Infoshop.org interview on the impact of terrorism legislation on anarchists and the anarchist movement, including labeling anarchists as terrorists.
The War on Terrorism has come home. Corporations and politicians are labeling activists "eco-terrorists" and national security threats. Think red-baiting, with a green twist. Here you'll find original reporting and analysis of the Green Scare, and history repeating itself.
