Biography

Crow has been associated with many regional and national political campaigns and movements since 1985 including animal liberation, radical environmentalism, anti-globalization and worker cooperatives. Beginning in the late 1990s he came under broad investigations for political activities by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I) and the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) in nine states which continued for almost a decade and included being targeted by controversial F.B.I. informant Brandon Darby.[3] To date Crow has never been charged with any crimes.[4] Crow has been widely interviewed over the years in various international mainstream and independent media as well as appearing in documentary films. He has often been the target of right-wing media for his views.[5][6]
