Yesterday (January 7) was the anniversary of the first large-scale RCMP C-IRG raid on Wet'suwet'en territory (in 2019, followed by February 2020 and November 2021). We reject this criminalization of Indigenous land defenders protecting their lands from megaprojects. #AbolishCIRG
"Using $86 million to create this RCMP unit specifically to remove First Nations people off their lands so resource development can happen. That is corruption." - Gordon Sebastian at https://t.co/tQc0tXicT2 #AbolishCIRG

KENYA SPEAK UP 👊
In 2024, we’ve hit alarming climate records, pushing communities across Africa and beyond to the brink. This #COP29 must be the turning point to secure Africa’s future.

I just sent a letter to Minister Freeland (@cafreeland) and Minister Guilbeault (@s_guilbeault) urging them to hold the biggest polluters accountable and fight climate injustice. You should too!

Sad news to hear of the passing of Cathy Merrick, the grand chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs. She traveled to unceded Algonquin Territory last September to take part in the #searchthelandfill protest. Merrick was a leading voice in the push for a search of the landfill.
International Solidarity Movement volunteer Ayşenur Eygi was killed by the Israeli military in Palestine on Friday morning. The 26-year-old had graduated in the spring from the University of Washington whose ties to Boeing she had protested: https://t.co/CloLIM4ipF #CeasefireNow
My latest with @ricochet_en is out, please share-Canada’s racist system claims another dead Indigenous boy- RIP Hoss Lightning
“Canada is apparently in an era of so-called Truth and Reconciliation, but it seems as if the relationship between Natives and non-Natives is as broken as ever. These victims, like Hoss who had his whole life ahead of him, are more than statistics. This violence happens to real people, families and communities.
Before more lives are lost, we have to tackle this crisis head-on. These systems are dripping with racism and discrimination, and injustice is running rampant. It needs to be seen as a crisis and a fix will require government action, community engagement and societal change.
When will the apathy cease and the lives of Indigenous Peoples be valued in Canada? How many more headlines about bullets ripping through our skin and hearts are needed to get through to those in power that Native lives matter?”

"Court heard audio of an RCMP officer telling Sleydo’ and others..., ‘Last time you’ll see that camp,’ while passing the Gidimt’en Checkpoint. Sleydo’ said she wasn’t sure whether the officer was referring to the camp being destroyed or whether something would happen to them.”
