Darryl Cherney
Darryl Cherney (born 1956) is an American musician and environmental activist. He is a member of the Earth First! environmental movement. Born and raised in New York City, he lives in Humboldt County, California.
Cherney has produced five albums of his own political satire, and founded Environmentally Sound Promotions and Churn It Up Records. Together with Greg King, in 1986 he co-founded the movement to save what eventually became the federally protected Headwaters Forest Reserve near Eureka, California. He organized four rallies in support of Julia Butterfly Hill's two-year tree sit. He organized the Redwood Summer campaign with Judi Bari.
One of Cherney's songs, "Where Are We Gonna Work (When the Trees Are Gone?)", has been covered by Jello Biafra and Mojo Nixon on their album Prairie Home Invasion.
Cherney ran for Congress in the 1988 Democratic primary in Northern California.
In 2016 Cherney ran for the Green Party presidential nomination. He ran a "no money in politics" campaign on social media, featuring the hashtag #FeelTheChern.
During the late 1980s, Cherney met fellow environmental activist Judi Bari. He was a musician, and Bari put him to work accompanying some of the protests of Earth First!, which she was leading. She wanted to emphasize non-violence in the group's protests. In earlier years, it had been known for actions that risked injury to loggers.
She was divorced and for a time, the pair had a close relationship. Later they remained good friends and colleagues in their work to protect the redwood forests and organize timber workers.
Cherney was active in the Earth First! environmental movement, where he worked with its founder Judy Bari. On May 24, 1990, he and Bari were traveling together in her car when a pipe bomb exploded beneath her seat. They were both injured, Bari severely. The case was investigated by the Oakland police and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which arrested the two activists. Although the FBI did not finally charge them, it suggested from its investigation that they were carrying the bomb to be used in another bombing action, and it had gone off accidentally.
