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 weekend’s focus will be on:
-
Deeper strategic thinking and analysis about the health and progress of our movement.
-
Next steps for DGR’s organizing and educational efforts.
-
Envisioning yourself as an active participant in DGR’s essential work.
We’ll also have nightly song circles, stories, snacks, and outdoor activities.
Tickets are on a sliding scale. Our real costs per participant is about $200/person. No one is turned away for lack of funds. Please consider paying a bit more if you are in an upper-income bracket, and a bit less if you are in a lower income bracket.
In this society, we tend to forget that lower income people have much less disposable income for extras of any kind than do higher income people. So what ends up happening is that lower income people actually end up subsidizing the participation of higher income people at events where everyone pays the same price to attend.
Suggested amounts are listed by income, but you are the best judge of what you can afford. Please pay what you can, and if you can’t pay, you are very much still welcome to attend.
If you want to support this event, please consider making a Donation in either your name or a loved one’s honor. We have people who want to attend but need help.
