2nd DGR Wisconsin meet-up
If you care about life on this planet, and if you believe this culture won’t voluntarily cease to destroy it, how does that belief affect your methods of resistance?
Keeping questions like these in mind, we will, as a group, chart a course of action for the future.
At this meet-up, we’ll continue our conversation about organizing events, campaigns, and actions to stop civilization from killing the planet, and how to create the organized resistance movement necessary to be effective.
If you are involved with DGR, considering becoming involved, or just interested, please join us for this meet-up.
