    About this ebook

    We live in a world on the brink. As the climate crisis intensifies, racism and patriarchy rise and corporate control expands. What can be done?
    We Choose to Speak features a collection of essays by writer and organizer Max Wilbert exploring these topics and their solutions. These essays examine the violence embedded in modern economies, sexual objectification, grassroots resistance campaigns, and the need for truly revolutionary movements. Featuring material written over a six-year period, this collection provides a unique insight into the development of a radical critique, and works to chart a course to a sane, just future.

    Max Wilbert

    Max Wilbert is a writer, organizer, and wilderness guide. A third-generation dissident, he came of age in a family of anti-war and undoing racism activists in post-WTO Seattle. Max has been part of grassroots political work for nearly 20 years. He has been involved in fighting the Canadian “tar sands” megaproject and combating tar sands mining in Utah, in resisting industrial-scale water extraction and deforestation in Nevada, in advocating for the last remaining wild buffalo in Yellowstone, in solidarity work with indigenous communities in British Columbia, and in campaigns against police brutality and sexual violence. Max serves on the Board of Directors of Deep Green Resistance and Fertile Ground Institute for Social and Ecological Justice. He co-founded the Pinyon-Juniper Alliance, a group dedicated to protecting forests in the Intermountain West. He is the editor-in-chief of the Deep Green Resistance News Service, and produces a podcast called The Green Flame. Max’s essays have been published in Earth Island Journal, Counterpunch, Dissident Voice, DGR News Service, and elsewhere, and have been translated into several languages. Bright Green Lies is Max’s second book. His first book, an essay collection called We Choose to Speak, was released in 2018 in Germany by Babylon Apocalypse press as Voices of Resistance Vol. 2. He also wrote the introduction to a French-language translation of the Earth First! Direct Action Manual, published by Editions Libre in 2019. Max lives near Eugene, Oregon, where he is involved in a communal living project. His website is https://maxwilbert.org.
