DESCRIPTION:Two womyn from the Portland Animal Defense League, Rising Tide North 
 America and Stumptown Earth First! will be on tour up and down the west 
 coast with an interactive and engaging presentation. \n\nWe’ll be 
 offering a two hour presentation on radical eco-feminism and environmental 
 ethics. Eco-feminism is the social movement that regards the oppression of 
 women and nature as interconnected. It is one of the few movements and 
 analyses that actually connects two movements. Radical ecofeminist 
 theorists have extended their analyses 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, race, 
 class and nature.\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 
 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 goes into the 
 reasons it is so important to include animal rights into environmental 
 activism based on moral ethics and the environmental impact of industrial 
 agriculture. The presentation 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\n\n
