-based environmental activists are missing out on a century of lessons on how to confront environmental injustice.
If well-resourced organizations turned their focus to frontline communities, we could continue to flood stolen lands with our resistance to pipelines. We could train one another in how to take direct action. We could move beyond the “politically possible” toward the future we truly deserve.
Appalachian frontline communities have been navigating systemic injustice for centuries, and there’s still so much to learn from this struggle. We must show up in solidarity when they call because, soon, we’ll all need support — and few of us can count on this government to help. We must shift from throwing the majority of our resources at the feet of rich octogenarians and instead center our movement around the front lines of extraction.
The future of our movement is the frontlines so the next time we plan a mass convening, let’s plan it in our backyards.It’s no secret that it’s a tough time for independent journalism.From small, local publications to large, well-known industry giants, no one is immune to this sea change..
