Goal
As we come up to what we hope is the final court date we are asking for your support for our allied land defenders.
Our relatives/allies Shaylynn (Gitxsan) and Corey (Haudenosaunee) are gearing up to travel to the yintah for the DECISION for the Abuse of Process Application, that we have been in trial for over the last year, happening on February 18th, 2025
If Judge Tammen decides in favour of our application he could also decide to STAY ALL CHARGES! If we are not successful in our application for a full stay of proceedings, we are asking for a *reduction in sentence* due to RCMP abuses of process resulting in systemic breaches of our Charter rights. That reduction could include a sentence of time-served for time in custody in November 2021.
This is a big date. Of course Tammen could disagree with the application altogether in which case we would go into sentencing dates which would include another lengthy process in the courts with everyone facing possible jail time.
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 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 facing a system designed against us.
Please give generously and share with your networks. Stay tuned for updates on all our socials and keep us all in your prayers. Many people have come together to support us all year and we appreciate all the efforts!

In solidarity we stand - for the peoples, for the waters, for the land. May the light shine bright on all those who see, do not yet see, have been led astray and too to all those who believe in sovereignty. For we are one, and although the fight is not yet done, know you are not alone as together we are sewn with Love. May the divine spirit continue to guide you, as they have always done and continue to do, and provide healing to those in need and overcome the others led by greed. Nature has heard the cries and it’s no surprise for we are connected. Stay strong. Stay healing. Stay love. Congrats on reaching your funding goal. -A

I'm a Canadian living in the US which has just taken a big step towards fascism, the ultimate goal of colonialism. Borders are illusions, between nations of people and between individual people.
