Fire UP! Work Crew
who is the FireUP! Work Crew?

We are all long time activists with a deep dedication to active engagement that creates social and environmental change. Though we have worked individual on many diverse projects we understand that all of our issues are rooted in the same system of oppression. Members of FIRE UP! have worked with groups such as: Common Ground Hurricane relief center in New Orleans, Harm Reduction ATL - Needle Exchange, Benchpress Burlesque, Reclaiming Pagan Cluster, PMS Media, Social Detox, Sri Lanka Tsunami support, Mountain Justice Summer mountaintop removal, Rising Tide, Atlanta ACT UP, NYC Indy Media, Books through Bars, Guerilla Griots, Drumlin Farm, Save the Peaks, Root Activist Network of Trainers, International Solidarity Movement Israel/Palestine and many more.

Sylvia B. Rose - a.k.a. 'skunkrising'
