ABSTRACT
Redwood Summer precipitated the break. Since early spring Foreman had been objecting to the campaign. He supported tree-spiking and didn't want to turn Earth First! into a labor union. Yet the campaign embodied Roselle's and Bari's most cherished ideals of worker solidarity and grassroots democracy. Meanwhile, the FBI, still convinced that an environmentalist had built the bomb that injured Judi Bari, continued to bypass attempts to investigate loggers and spread an ever-widening net over Earth First! The agency collected the names of activists who had written to regional newspapers. It asked police to submit names of "prominent environmental activists" and to produce "any and all examples of typewriting or handwriting originating from the environmental movement." Because of FBI harassment of them and the agency's refusal to investigate loggers, the Earth First!ers sensed that they were the casualties of an official conspiracy. Redwood Summer made everyone feel like a victim.
