DESCRIPTION:Leading environmental thinkers and activists will headline a special 
 day-long conference at UC Berkeley on Sunday, November, 13, convened and 
 led by writer-philosopher Derrick Jensen.  \n\nThe "Earth at Risk" 
 conference will feature Arundhati Roy, Chris Hedges, and Thomas Linzey 
 among others in a day-long series of interviews with Jensen before a live 
 audience.  \n\nThe theme will be the need to build a "deep green resistance 
 movement" to confront the array of powerful interests that currently 
 prevent needed action on curbing the activities that threaten the survival 
 of our planet.\n\nWe live in the most destructive culture to ever exist. In 
 Derrick's talks around the country he repeatedly asks his audiences, "Does 
 anyone think this culture will voluntarily transform to a sustainable way 
 of living?" \n\nNo one ever says yes. If we accept the seriousness of the 
 situation, what would that mean for our strategy and tactics?  This is the 
 urgent question that Derrick and his guests will be exploring.\n\nOur 
 planet is under serious threat from industrial civilization. Yet activists 
 are not considering strategies that might actually prevent the looming 
 biotic collapse the Earth is facing.  We need to deprive the rich and 
 powerful of their ability to destroy the planet. We need a serious 
 resistance movement that includes all levels of direct action---action that 
 can match the scale of the problem.\n\nDerrick Jensen has been called 
 “the philosopher-poet of the environmental movement.” During this 
 day-long event, he will interview eight people who each hold an impassioned 
 critique of this culture and offer ideas on what can be done to build a 
 real resistance movement.  Participants include Arundhati Roy, Chris 
 Hedges, Thomas Linzey, Aric McBay,  Lierre Keith, Waziyatawin, and 
 Stephanie McMillan.\n\nEarth At Risk is a full-day event from 10 AM to 7 PM 
 at UC Berkeley’s Wheeler Auditorium, which is located near the 
 intersection of College and Telegraph. General admission is $40, $25 
 low-income, $60 supporter. \n\nFor more information, go to
