One year after the killing of George Floyd, Black activists in Ottawa are toiling to remind Canadians to do more to fight racial injustice and police abuse of power not just in the capital, but across the country.

Do or Die Editors interviewed for the American Earth First! Journal A reflective interview from 2006 with the editors of the UK-based Do Or Die journal, that ran for ten issues from 1992-2003.
Describe the project: its inception/inspiration…
None of the current ex-editors were involved at the beginning of the project. The editorial group has changed over time, with quite a few people passing through.
Do or Die started in 1992, within a year of EF! starting in Britain. It pushed a green anarchist, direct action perspective. At this time EF! was split and was half liberal and half radical.

Some people in EF! didn’t like it at first and even tried to expel DoD from EF! The Earth First! Action
