A radical environmentalist group, Earth First! is known for using violence and property destruction to further their activism. Their founding ethos is that “humankind is no greater than any other form of life and has no legitimate claim to dominate earth” and that “all human decisions should consider earth first and humankind second.” The group has been linked to numerous attacks, including sabotaging machines, blocking roads with barricades, cutting power and gas lines, tree sitting, and other radical activities. Recently in December 2020, a gas pipeline in Aspen, Colorado, was sabotaged, bearing the mark “Earth First!” that resulted in the disruption of heating services for 3,500 residents. Since April 2021, Earth First! activists have been engaging in tree-sitting protests within the Jackson Demonstration Forest in California, effectively delaying logging operations.
