March-April (Eostar) 1998
Vol.XVIII, No. IV
Statement Adopted by the Organizer's Conference
"Increasingly, racists and xenophobes are camouflaging their agendas in the terms of environmentalism. An example is the upcoming referendum offered to the Sierra Club membership advocating reducing US immigration. Peoples crossing borders imposed by European immigrants are not disproportionately responsible for environmental destruction or consumer culture. Corporations and the governments they control are. Social justice and self-determination are integral to environmental sustainability. To address overpopulation, we must first end systems of dominance and advance a worldview that puts the Earth first. We encourage the members of the Sierra Club to reject in the strongest terms this racist referendum. Racism has no place in the environmental movement."
