For Immediate Release: Derrick Jensen supports Canadian Environmental Movement to Save Wild Salmon and get open Net Fish Farms out of Pacific Ocean.

Posted on by

Dismantling the system with Derrick Jensen Questions and answers about deep green environmentalism and fighting to win.

Award-winning author Derrick Jensen would consider the label “uncivilized” a compliment. But then, he’s not your garden-variety California environmentalist. The author of Endgame and A Language Older Than Words is a vehement anti-capitalist and outspoken anti-authoritarian who refuses to be categorized as either an anarchist or a socialist. “Luddite” fits, but it doesn’t go far enough.

Jensen’s latest collaboration is Deep Green Resistance. The book began as a series of workshops and developed into a movement that challenges mainstream environmentalists to drop the silly stunts and take up decisive tactics.

“This book is about fighting back. And this book is about winning.” – Derrick Jensen, in the preface to Deep Green Resistance. On Thursday, January 26, Jensen answers your questions live via Skype at two locations on the South Coast.

About J Peachy

I am a contemporary outsider artist that believes in the healing properties of the natural environment. I paint landscapes in abstract as an expression of my connection with nature and its ability to provide me peaceful inspiration. As organisms on this earth I believe we are interconnected with nature and highly interdependent. But as the psycho-social environment we live in today gets ever increasingly complex its effects on us are becoming more pervasive, corroding and sophisticated. However the energy, peace and serenity of our natural surroundings can provide a way of grounding our senses and healing our minds. I try to capture the interrelationship between my mind and nature as I see and feel it; it’s an expression of my soul captured on a physical medium and in a point in time. Going through the process in itself contributes to balance. Driven by my own lived experience, I am a self proclaimed arts-based advocate for mental health and strive to demystify and eliminate stigma around these issues. My initiatives in this regard include being the Vancouver Caucus leader for the Artist Alliance for Mental Health, a collective member (2010) of the artist-run Gallery Gachet in Vancouver and the Producer and Host of Sound Therapy Radio a peer oriented mental wellness show on CJSF 90.1 FM. I have a true belief in human potential and in the statement; ‘art is a means for survival’.
