The Direct Action Manual (DAM) is 300 pages of diagrams, descriptions of techniques and a comprehensive overview of the role direct action plays in resistance—from planning an action, doing a soft blockade, putting up a treesit or executing a lockdown; to legal and prisoner support, direct action trainings, fun political pranks, and more. The DAM has been compiled and updated by frontline activists from around the US to help spread the knowledge and get these skills farther out in the world.

Three tenets continue to bind the Earth First! movement today: biocentrism—the belief that all life on the planet is intertwined and holds intrinsic value; direct action—making change that is unmediated by the political process; and no compromise—the complete refusal to make a deal or sell out the groups we work with or the land we aim to defend
