 Rising Tide North America\n stephanie@RisingTideNorthAmerica.org\n\nRadical 
 Eco-Feminist West Coast Spring Tour 2008\n\nThis Spring, two womyn from the 
 Portland Animal Defense League, Rising Tide North America and Stumptown 
 Earth First! will be on tour in your area with an interactive and engaging 
 presentation. They will be offering a two hour presentation on radical 
 eco-feminism and environmental ethics.\n\nEco-feminism is the social 
 movement that regards the oppression of women and nature as interconnected. 
 It is one of the few movements and analysis that actually connects two 
 movements. Radical eco-feminist theorists have extended their analysis to 
 consider the interconnections between sexism, the domination of nature 
 (including animals), and also racism and social inequalities. Consequently 
 it is now better understood as a movement working against the 
 interconnected oppressions of gender, ethnicity, class and nature. 
 \n\nEnvironmental ethics is the discipline that studies the moral 
 relationship of human beings, and also the value and moral status of the 
 environment and its nonhuman contents. It is the connection of deep 
 ecology, feminist environmental ethics, and social ecology to 
 politics.\n\nThis is a two part workshop which dives into recognizing the 
 need for radical analysis over reformist thinking- working to drastically 
 change the system rather than working within it. Using the method of 
 popular education called a mind-map, the presentation draws direct links 
 and parallels between radical-feminism and environmentalism exploring 
 eco-activisms' need for radical feminism. And finally, it displays the 
 reasons it is so important to include animal liberation into the 
 radical-feminist-environmental analysis. It is interactive and provides 
 plenty of time for discussion.\n\nYou may have seen part of this workshop 
 at the EF! Rendezvous in Indiana or on the Rising Tide North America 
 Climate Justice Action Tour last summer.\n\nTour schedule is as
