Deep Green Resistance-Kampagnen
Damit der Planet überlebt, müssen wir handeln, um ihn zu verteidigen. Daher organisiert Deep Green Resistance Aktionen, um die Machtstrukturen - Patriarchat, Kapitalismus und Zivilisation - zu konfrontieren, die hauptverantwortlich für die Plünderung von Land und Leuten sind.
Da wir eine Übergrundorganisation sind, beschränken sich unsere direkten Aktionen strikt auf gewaltlosen zivilen Ungehorsam. Wir halten eine Trennung aufrecht zwischen unseren Mitgliedern und jeglichen Gruppen von Individuen, die sich eventuell an Untergrundaktionen beteiligen. Eine Erklärung dafür, warum dies notwendig ist, ist auf unserer Sicherheitsseite nachzulesen.
Wir sind in Phase I unserer Operationen als Übergrund-Organisation, was bedeutet, dass wir uns auf Netzwerkbildung, Mobilisierung und Rekrutierung konzentrieren. Bevor unsere Bestrebungen wachsen und sich auf größere Ziele konzentrieren können, brauchen wir ein solides Fundament - eine Organisation und Gemeinschaft, die widerstands- und anpassungsfähig ist. Von da aus werden wir zu Phase II übergehen.
DGR-Handlungsprioritäten
Solidarität mit Indigenen
Wir stehen traditionellen indigenen Völkern zur Seite, die versuchen, ihre traditionellen Lebensweisen zu erhalten und auszuweiten. Wir erkennen an, dass viele von uns auf gestohlenem Land leben.
Lies unsere Richtlinien für Solidarität mit Indigenen.
Feminismus
Das Frauengremium leitet den Kampf gegen männliche Gewalt und Herrschaft sowie männliches Anspruchsdenken. Die Männer in DGR arbeiten daran, das Konzept der Maskulinität zu zerstören, ihr persönliches Verhalten zu verbessern und systematisch gegen das Patriarchat zu kämpfen.
Lies unsere Richtlinien für feministische Solidarität.
Antirassismus
Das Farbigengremium leitet den Kampf gegen weiße Vorherrschaft, institutionalisierten Rassismus und rassistische Gewalt. Die Weißen in DGR arbeiten daran, diese Bemühungen zu unterstützen, ihren internalisierten Rassismus zu bekämpfen und die Systeme der weißen Vorherrschaft zu zerstören.
Lies unsere Richtlinien für weiße Verbündete von PoC/Farbigen.
Bildung für den Widerstand
Wir glauben an die strategische Notwendigkeit von Bildung, die darauf ausgerichtet ist, die materiellen Umstände zu verändern. Das DGR-Buch ist beispielsweise ein Versuch zu unterrichten, aber letztendlich ist es ein Aufruf zu direkten Konfrontationen mit Macht. Wir fördern strategischen Widerstand durch Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, gemeinschaftsbasierte Bildung, öffentliches Sprechen, Videos und alle anderen Methoden, die sich als effektiv erweisen.
Landrestaurierung
Landwirtschaft ist der Prozess, der der Zivilisation zugrunde liegt. Sie führt zu der Zerstörung, die repariert werden muss. Hektar für Hektar, die lebendigen Gemeinschaften der Wälder, Wiesen und Feuchtgebiete müssen nach Hause kommen dürfen. Wir müssen sie genug lieben, dass wir sie vermissen und sie genug vermissen, dass wir sie wiederherstellen. Die beste Chance unseres Planeten liegt in ihrer Wiederherstellung. Mehrjährige Pflanzen reichern die Erde an und Kohlenstoff ist ihr Baustein. Diese Reparatur sollte das Hauptziel der Naturschutzbewegung sein. Als Teil davon arbeiten DGR-Mitglieder und -Ortsverbände daran, Land wiederherzustellen, wann und wo auch immer so etwas möglich ist.
Lad unsere Vorlage für einen Aktionsplan für die Landbasis runter.
Direkte Aktion
Wir engagieren uns in Übergrund-Kampagnen und nutzen die gewaltlosen Taktiken, die wir für in einer gegebenen Situation für am effektivsten halten (ob es sich um Mobilisierung einer Gemeinschaft und gewaltfreie Aktion handelt, um Änderungen der Gesetzeslage oder um kollektive Verweigerung von Unterstützung). Es ist unser Verständnis, dass in Anbetracht der zeitlichen Lage und der Anzahl unserer Aktiven Übergrundarbeit nicht genug sein wird, um Zivilisation, Kapitalismus, weiße Vorherrschaft, Patriarchat und andere unterdrückerische Machtsysteme zu zerstören.
Förderung von Widerstand im Untergrund
Daher ist dies der Fokus unserer Arbeit: Es ist notwendig, dass ein militanter Untergrund die Infrastruktur dieser Systeme physisch zerstört und die TäterInnen davon abhält, weiterhin ihre Verbrechen auszuüben. Wir arbeiten daran, eine Kultur aufzubauen, die militanten Widerstand normalisiert und fördert.
