Watch House Elder Black Bear Warrior (Jim Leyden) recently adapted the classic labour poem "Bread and Roses" to honour the spirits of all of the children who were murdered at Residential Schools. It will give you chills.

How it started. How it's going. #stopTMX

[Vancouver GreenFaith @VGreenfaith]

Our friends at @PPSTMX1 are back in the trees and they need your support NOW! Tree-felling crews already approaching. Go to SE corner of Lougheed and Gaglardi in Burnaby to witness and support. @FaithCommonGood @greenfaithworld #StopTMX #ClimateAction #Faiths4Climate

@ira_sutherland @tara @ThomasforBC Yes, thanks @tara! We meet at City Hall EVERY Friday from 12-2pm to demand urgent climate action from @jjhorgan and @JustinTrudeau. We’ve already had 15 #FridaysForFuture in a row! Looking for fresh troops to join the movement, everyone welcome! 🤗

Also, HUGE rally on Nov 12! 💪

Honestly, so disappointed at media.
The Amazonian youth from Brazil and Ecuador lead the entire march today in Glasgow and were up on the main stage for almost 30 minutes. Frontline people at the FRONT LINE. Yet no coverage. This is what invisiblization looks like. #COP26

[Climate Convergence @climate604]

If you agree that the real climate leaders are on the streets, not behind closed doors at #COP26Glasgow - join us at the #united4climate action November 12 in Vancouver! #COP26

Kukpi7 Judy Wilson, UBCIC Secretary-treasurer, at #COP26 keeping an eye on US President Joe Biden. - “The G7 colonial climate change regime is not working, indigenous peoples are wide awake and demanding real climate action now.” @POTUS

We did it! @sfu350 won divestment after 8 years of activism! Thank you to the SFU community that supported us all these years.

SFU didn't credit and thank us but we know it's our win to claim!

Countless unpaid labour and stress put upon student activists. STUDENT POWER WORKS!

[Likhts’amisyu (Fireweed) Clan @Likhtsamisyu]

With @jjhorgan releasing the provincial Climate Plan today AND while our People file an appeal on our Climate Change court case - this is what we are up against. Fossil Fuels are not an answer to a #ClimateCrisis #WetsuwetenStrong #alloutforwidzinkwa https://t.co/zDeJFJV4vE

[Protect the Planet @PPSTMX1]

The early crew! Come join us to witness today. Bring a stepladder as TMX is trying to hide their destruction and our arrests from the media. #StopTMX #CancelTMX #ClimateEmergency

[Vancouver GreenFaith @VGreenfaith]

Protectors are being arrested now. Stand strong! @greenfaithworld @FaithCommonGood @PPSTMX1 @climate604 @CoastProtectors @MtnProtectors @XRVancouverBC @sustainteens @fff_vancouver #ClimateAction #StopTMX #Faiths4Climate

[Vancouver GreenFaith @VGreenfaith]

What do they not want us to see? What truth do they want to hide? @greenfaithworld @FaithCommonGood @PPSTMX1 @CoastProtectors @MtnProtectors @climate604 @fff_vancouver @sustainteens @XRVancouverBC @CBCVancouver @CTVVancouver @TheTyee @GlobalBC @bbybeacon @BurnabyNOW_News

[Vancouver GreenFaith @VGreenfaith]

People are locked down and blocking TMX work in Burnaby at the tree-sit. Police are on the way - arrests likely. Support these brave protectors! @greenfaithworld @FaithCommonGood @PPSTMX1 @climate604 @XRVancouverBC @CoastProtectors @MtnProtectors @fff_vancouver @sustainteens

The public does not want a pipeline expansion that poses catastrophic climate and ecological risk, in a climate and biodiversity crisis.

No more pipelines. No more raids. No more lies. #StopTMX #Elxn44
