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民族志。


特朗普政府废除基于证据的环境治理需要新形式的行动主义，支持科学和环境监管机构，同时批评知识生产的政治。环境数据与治理倡议 (EDGI) 在 2016 年 11 月美国总统选举后出现，成为一个由超过 175 名志愿者研究人员、技术人员、档案管理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）领导一场公众运动，归档脆弱的联邦数据，证明气候变化和环境不公正； 2）就特朗普政府过渡事宜对现任和前任联邦机构人员进行多地点采访； 3) 跟踪联邦网站的更改。在本文中，我们对 EDGI 内部交叉的运动领域以及我们的理论、策略和实践进行了“社会运动组织自民族志”。我们提供扩展和迭代公共、合作学术和宣传方法的想法。
