The Gastivists Collective is a small team of motivated people, active in a variety of climate and oppression-related struggles in several different countries. While opposition to gas infrastructure is our starting point, the struggles we are involved in intersect with issues like militarisation, land rights, geopolitical conflicts and energy democracy. These intersecting struggles inform our work and our goals.
We envision a world in which alternatives to (fossil) capitalism and its energy systems have become inescapable.
