Goal
As we come up to another set of trial dates we are asking for your support for our allied land defenders.
Our relatives/allies Shaylynn (Gitxsan) and Corey (Haudensosaunee) are gearing up to travel to the yintah for another week and a half of the colonial court system September 3-11. There are more dates set for November 4-8 and again in December 9-13.
While we are so very grateful for all the support towards legal fees we recognize that Shaylynn and Corey have to take time away from work, family, home and responsibilities to attend trial for supporting us in asserting our 'anuk niwh it'en. We are asking all our supporters to help them make this process a bit more bearable so they don't have to worry about things at home like rent and bills. They are dealing with so much already fighting for their lives for doing the right thing.
This colonial system takes so much from us already. It's not reasonable to also have to worry about their housing security and capitalism while they are already facing a system designed against us.
Please give generously and share with your networks.
Tabï misiyh.

As a Canadian, I feel sad about all you have had to go through as indigenous people. This has got to change! Our political and judicial systems have to change dramatically. This is not reconciliation!

We are with you, and proud to be so. Keep strong and keep us informed. Coastal Gas link is a pipeline to no where..fossil gas (methane) is NOT a clean transitional fuel. Everyone needs to know that.

I'm a settler who got arrested at the Tar Sands Action on Parliament Hill. Sniper was pointed at me as I crossed over. I would do it again.
