Brief: The dual consequences of a bleeding Earth—ecological destruction and climate chaos that threaten humanity’s own existence, and social demoralization that denies most humans the rights to live as humans—shape our struggle today. Resistance to extraction has become more urgent than ever.

These cases are by no means representative of the diverse anti-extractivist movements with distinct local contexts. However, they are all interconnected within the same process of social metabolism.
