Do or Die

Voices from the Ecological Resistance

This site is an archive of Do or Die magazine. Do or Die was an occasional journal published in the UK from 1992-2003, crammed with reports and analysis from the world-wide ecological frontlines. The voices collected here are not those of outsiders, journalists or academics, but of those involved in the struggles themselves. In these times of concrete alienation these voices shine hope from movements that take action to defend nature, create revolution and re-wild humanity.

NEW! The Earth First! Journal interviewed the ex-editors of Do or Die in late 2006. The interview covers the origins and role of Do or Die, the reaction to 'Down With The Empire, Up With The Spring!' and the state of the ecological movement in Britain today.

This Website

We're working on getting all the articles from all the back issues up on-line, but as far as we know there are no surviving electronic versions of issues 1-5, so we're currently scanning these in. The purpose of this site is to make the material we have published available in searchable and copiable digital format. The material is as published apart from layout and the addition of hypertext-linked references. There are no copyright restrictions on the material for non-profit uses.

To those who haven't come across a paper version of Do or Die before, the length of the magazine may come as a bit of a surprise: Issue 10 is more of a book with its 384 pages!
