Environmental and social justice movements in Mohkinstis/Meechispa, Treaty 7 territory. #YYCProtest #IAmAntifa #resist

[Calgary Social Change @CalSC]

If we can figure out, which social networking, email lists, and other websites, folks are currently using for activism here, we can then try to build up participation in the most widely used ones, and link in the others. Hopefully that can help us all be better connected.

[Calgary Social Change @CalSC]

What sites/services are you using for staying connected & informed for social & environmental justice in our area? (Mohkinstis/Treaty 7/Calgary)

Let’s reestablish some networking to connect the various folks, projects, and groups, in this city and the surrounding area.

NEW: Last week, the RCMP raided a new Indigenous-led blockade seeking to protect old growth trees at #FairyCreek.

Award-winning journalists @Songstress28 & @photobracken were inside that raid. Read their feature report and see the stunning photos here.

😎LEAKED: 3RD AVE SURVEY RESULTS SHOW HUGE SUCCESS!

📋The City conducted a comprehensive operational review + public feedback survey on the 3rd Ave Walking & Wheeling Upgrades btw Fall 2021-Fall 2022. However, the results remain suppressed by City Admin.

So we're leaking them!

[CPAWS Southern Alberta @cpawssab]

Over 2,700 people have already sent a letter demanding the #ClearcutLogging in #Kananaskis be cancelled — but construction on infrastructure like roads and bridges has already begun 🚧

If you value #Alberta's forests, rivers, fish and wildlife, then the time to act is now 🪵🪵🪵

[Bike Calgary @bikecalgary]

It is not acceptable that @cityofcalgary intends to remove the 3rd ave cycle track. This is a move backwards and contradics their own policies. Let city council know you are disappointed and join us in fighting back!!

Not even one year after the AB government privatized our community labs, they're un-privatizing them!

“This was totally predictable & a totally irresponsible move by the UCP government,” said FOM's ED, Chris Gallaway.
