CONFERENCE 2026!
July 3-6   Crescent City, CA

The DGR Annual Conference is happening again!  It's an amazing event where you can gather with a community of like-minded environmentalists, make new friends and relax with old ones, talk all night, sing under the stars, laugh like there's no tomorrow (because there might not be), ask all the questions, eat all the brownies, and choose the honest-to-goddess bears. 

Your conference ticket includes all meals, overnight accommodations (beds are limited, so some people may be on couches or floors), great workshops and discussions, and a chance to talk to Derrick Jensen in an intimate setting.

​

The conference starts Friday, with an arrival time at 4,  with dinner and some fun ice-breaker activities. Programming includes talks and workshops by active DGR members, supporters, and board members. Presentations will be live-streamed when possible.

​

The theme of this year's conference is Interdependence! As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, DGR gathers to celebrate our 15th anniversary as a radical environmentalist organization.

Ecologically, independence is a falsehood. So we declare July 4th our Interdependence Day! The weekend will be a celebration of our interdependence with wild nature and a defiant display of resistance against those forces that would separate us in an isolating, mechanistic, and destructive larger culture.

Workshops will explore the interdependence of natural communities, the destruction that occurs when bonds are broken, and what we, as a unified movement, can do to resist, reciprocate, and restore our relationship with the earth.

The weekend’s focus will be on:

• How to listen to the land

• Who lives here?

• Re-learning relationship

• Rewriting dominant narratives

•  Solidarity with the wild 

• Deeper strategic thinking about the health and progress of our movement

• Next steps for DGR’s organizing and educational efforts
