"Our mission is to promote educate and inspire the movement for direct action in defense of the natural world through an intersectional anti-colonial and biocentric lens without compromise." - Earth First! "This publication was designed and printed in so-called Kansas City on occupied Kaw Otoe-Missouria Osage and Ochethi Sakowin lands. . We're back! After 20 months we have resuscitated the quarterly publication you know and love—with some important differences. You probably already noticed this version of the Earth First! Journal doesn't look like the glossy-cover newsprint magazine that became a staple of the radical environmental movement from 2010 to 2020 maintaining consistent style and content as it passed through many editorial hands and moved back and forth across the continent. We hope the Journal continues to provide unique and essential reporting on biocentrism-guided direct actions hard-hitting solidarity campaigns new theories and analyses gatherings debates and everything else the Journal has represented over the last four decades. However it was time for a change. . Partially due to the pandemic and partially due to its geographical movements the Journal no longer operates out of a communal home-office combo occupied by short-termers and long-termers who share daily tasks. Right now the Journal is run by one business manager a volunteer board made up of long-time EF!ers a virtual editorial collective and a team of amazing volunteers and yeah we need YOU!. As always our content is solicited from both EF! and the broader movement for ecological justice and environmental defense through a biocentric and/or direct-action lens. . Here's to another four decades of radical and rowdy resistance. See you at the blockade!"

The local Earth First! group Biodiversity Liberation Front EF! was its original publisher; issue 3 was the first issue to be broadly circulated. With issue 7 The Alarm changed its subtitle from “A Voice of Northeast Earth First!” to “A Voice of Revolutionary Ecology” to reflect the feeling of the group Biodiversity Liberation Front EF! that it was too great a responsibility for one group to represent the entire region. While they will continue to report about EF! actions they wish to draw on a revolutionary ecology perspective to form a more broadly based movement.

Its goals: to give voice to a new vision of wilderness and to encourage action now to stop the wholesale destruction of our few remaining wild places. Through his work with Earth First! Foreman has become one of America's most respected proponents of wilderness preservation. In "Confessions of an Eco-Warrior" Foreman writes–with passion and unarguable logic–about his beliefs his trials and his hopes for a wilder world. He insists that the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance and that wilderness must exist for its own sake not just for the pleasure of humans; he explains why he is willing to risk his life and his freedom to try to stop environmental destruction; and he proposes sweeping changes in National Forest regulations to reverse the cataclysmic decline in wilderness life. "Confessions of an Eco-Warrior" is a fearless controversial and provocative book that will set the course of environmentalism for the decades ahead. Harmony Books paperback books
