You don't have to love @greenpeaceusa to rally around their free speech fight starting trial this month in North Dakota. The SLAPP suit from Energy Transfer of #NoDAPL infamy is meant as an attack on us all...
from Sabal Trail Resistance: "The #NoDAPL fight isn't over. Energy Transfer is still assaulting water and land with leaking pipelines, and attacking our free speech with SLAPP lawsuits. We're standing with Greenpeace in calling on ET to drop it's case against the movement...
"The company behind that pipeline in the South hired cops as private security and trumped up more than two dozen felony charges against us. In the end, we fought them and NONE stuck.
"These bogus claims against Greenpeace can also be defeated with all of our support....
The attack on Greenpeace is intended to silence and scare people from standing in solidarity with Indigenous-led movements. Now allies are planning to show up alongside Indigenous activists, climate justice orgs and free speech advocates to call on ET to drop the case. Join 'em.
Get to Dallas on Feb 22 to fight for free speech and the right to protest in defense of the earth, and in defiance of Manifest Destiny... 🧵

In cities and counties around the US, the police budget usurps public funds at the expense of, well, everything. For example, LA adopted $12.8b budget that cut fire dept funding by over $17.5m, meanwhile LAPD received a funding bump of nearly $126m.

California’s wildfires aren’t just natural disasters—they’re the result of colonialism, capitalism, and the suppression of Indigenous Sciences and Traditional Knowledge.
For generations, Indigenous Peoples have practiced controlled burns to steward the land, but these traditional methods were outlawed, prioritizing profit over balance. We can no longer continue business as usual. It’s time we prioritize Indigenous stewardship and return to the ways these lands have always been cared for. #DefendTheSacred
