A quick call to action

[sabotabby]

Five Land Defenders have been arrested in an RCMP raid on Wet'suwet'en territory. Here is a quick action that anyone can do: Call either a police station or a member of the BC NDP* to demand their release immediately.

Now, you may be a young GenX/old Millennial like me and absolutely detest using the phone. That is okay! These bastards have been getting phone calls all day and it's now after hours, so it's almost guaranteed that if you call them, it will go straight to voicemail and you won't have to talk to a person. There's a convenient script that you can follow, even if you're not good at saying things on the phone. It's easy.

Remember, Wet'suwet'en Land Defenders are fighting not just to defend their territory, but for all of our futures.

Call now. Let's free the Land Defenders and stop the RCMP raid on Gidimt’en Checkpoint.



* Yes, the so-called progressive party is trying to run a pipeline through unceded Indigenous land. You're not really that surprised, are you?

As a subject of HRH King Charles, Third of his name, I can't abide hereditary structures of government, generally.

But, that that does explain the break with the councils.

Not to mention systemic underfunding of Indigenous communities that make the former desperate for the scraps that fall from the extractive feast.

As that newspaper said, there are some smaller scale native-run LNG projects, so they are gonna get theirs* while the planet burns.

(*They will get paid off pennies while others come in and do it all, and swipe all the funds, as is tradition in the extractive industries).
