Article 1: General Section 1: Name and Affiliation The name of this organization shall be Deep Green Resistance (often abbreviated “DGR”). Section 2: Purpose DGR’s goal is to advance the aboveground strategies laid out in the book Deep Green Resistance: Strategy to Save the Planet, including, but not limited to: Building a culture of resistance against industrial civilization; Normalizing the idea of underground resistance; and Engaging in aboveground political struggles. Section 3: Dissolution Any action to dissolve the organization must be approved by a two-thirds vote of eligible voting members, as well as a unanimous vote of the Steering Committee. If the organization is dissolved, the finances and other assets will be distributed to the 501c3 non-profit organization, Fertile Ground Environmental Institute. Section 4: Statement of Principles The soil, the air, the water, the climate, and the food we eat are created by complex communities of living creatures. The needs of those living communities are primary; individual and social morality must emerge from a humble relationship with the web of life. Civilization, especially industrial civilization, is fundamentally destructive to life on earth. Our task is to create a life-centered resistance movement that will dismantle industrial civilization by any means necessary. Organized political resistance is the only hope for our planet. Deep Green Resistance works to end abuse at the personal, organizational, and cultural levels. We also strive to eradicate domination and subordination from our private lives and sexual practices. Deep Green Resistance aligns itself with feminists and others who seek to eradicate all social domination and to promote solidarity between oppressed peoples.
