Earth First! is the official publication of the Earth First! movement. The environmentalist group Earth First! was founded in 1980 on the idea that every life form and ecosystem has a right to live and flourish regardless of human interests. First published as a newsletter in 1980, Earth First! has existed alongside the movement as a way to spread commonly held beliefs in Earth First! culture, such as biocentrism, deep ecology, and direct action. The magazine is also commonly known as the Earth First! Journal.

This special “Samhain-Yule” issue of Earth First! is dedicated to Samhain, the Celtic term for “summer’s end,” a time to reassess goals and strategies. It discusses endangered rivers, tar sands, protection from environmental degradation, information about US climate justice activism (MCJ), the “Green Scare,” Deep Ecology, and the G20 Summit. Letters to the editor and songs are included as well. They don’t operate well in chaotic situations. We’re anarchists. We do. While they’re radioing in for instructions, we’re following whims and currents—sometimes to disastrous ends, but often to success. —Magpiedegr The Rachel Carson Center’s Environment & Society Portal makes archival materials openly accessible for purposes of research and education.
