Abstract

The dismantlement of evidence-based environmental governance by the Trump Administration requires new forms of activism that uphold science and environmental regulatory agencies while critiquing the politics of knowledge production. The Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI) emerged after the November 2016 U.S. Presidential elections, becoming an organization of over 175 volunteer researchers, technologists, archivists, and activists innovating more just forms of government accountability and environmental regulation. Our successes include: 1) leading a public movement to archive vulnerable federal data evidencing climate change and environmental injustice; 2) conducting multi-sited interviews of current and former federal agency personnel regarding the transition into the Trump administration; 3) tracking changes to federal websites. In this article, we conduct a "social movement organizational autoethnography" on the field of movements intersecting within EDGI and on our theory, tactics, and practices. We offer ideas for expanding and iterating on methods of public, collaborative scholarship and advocacy.

数据抵抗：环境数据和治理倡议的社会运动组织自述。

特朗普政府对循证环境治理的瓦解需要新形式的行动主义，以维护科学和环境监管机构，同时批判知识生产的政治。环境数据与治理倡议（EDGI）在 2016 年 11 月美国总统大选后崛起，成为一个由超过 175 名志愿研究人员、技术专家、档案管理人员和活动家组成的组织，致力于创新更公正的政府问责和环境监管形式。我们的成功包括1）领导了一场公众运动，将证明气候变化和环境不公正的脆弱联邦数据归档；2）就特朗普政府的过渡问题对现任和前任联邦机构人员进行多点采访；3）跟踪联邦网站的变化。在这篇文章中，我们对 EDGI 内部相互交叉的运动领域以及我们的理论、战术和实践进行了 "社会运动组织自述"。我们提出了扩展和迭代公共、合作学术和宣传方法的想法。

期刊介绍： Mobilization: An International Quarterly is the premier journal of research specializing in social movements, protests, insurgencies, revolutions, and other forms of contentious politics. Mobilization was first published in 1996 to fill the need for a scholarly review of research that focused exclusively with social movements, protest and collective action. Mobilization is fully peer-reviewed and widely indexed. A 2003 study, when Mobilization was published semiannually, showed that its citation index rate was 1.286, which placed it among the top ten sociology journals. Today, Mobilization is published four times a year, in March, June, September, and December. The editorial board is composed of thirty internationally recognized scholars from political science, sociology and social psychology. The goal of Mobilization is to provide a forum for global, scholarly dialogue. It is currently distributed to the top international research libraries and read by the most engaged scholars in the field. We hope that through its wide distribution, different research strategies and theoretical/conceptual approaches will be shared among the global community of social movement scholars, encouraging a collaborative process that will further the development of a cumulative social science.
