About [Edit]
Friends of the Earth Brisbane was formed in late 1997 following a campaign to stop the opening of a new sand mine on North Stradbroke Island. The group working on the campaign felt a desire to work on a wider range of environmental and social issues and to help build a radical social change movement in Queensland and in Brisbane in particular. Over the years, many groups have formed to work on environmental and social justice issues and then disbanded a matter of months or a couple of years later. This has meant that little momentum has developed to build a social change movement and a culture of resistance. Experience and skills are rarely passed on to young activists and there is little "value adding" to good work that has been done in the past. This results in much "reinventing of wheels" and wasted resources. While single issue groups will always have a valid place, there is also a place for a grassroots organisation which is well resourced and continues to build capacity in working for social change towards an ecologically sustainable and just society.
