we must recognize that although some progress has been made, our work is far from over #ecofemsfu

@mingyig1 if you look at life outcomes after an environmental disaster across socioeconomic status, there is a clear gradient from bad -> good, poor -> rich #ecofemsfu

[Lauren D @laurendvan]

in class when we discussed the topic of women not being believed by their doctors/had their problems minimized, almost every student had a story to contribute. why is this normal? #ecofemsfu

[Lauren D @laurendvan]

some SFU students have expressed concerns about participating in protests on burnaby mountain and whether that will have implications to their education/career if they are arrested #ecofemsfu

President Trump is attempting to circumvent the judiciary by approving the Keystone XL Pipeline without a full environmental review of concerns raised by Indian Country.

#NoKXL statement from the Indigenous Environmental Network:

[Lauren D @laurendvan]

although the pipeline mostly isn't being built in canada, they are shipping canadian oil! this is a canadian issue! say #noKXL #ecofemsfu

[Lauren D @laurendvan]

just south of the border trump has recently reapproved the keystone XL pipeline which would ship crude oil from Canada to the gulf of coast of the US #ecofemsfu

[Lauren D @laurendvan]

while a judge blocked the construction of the pipeline in november due to concerns about the impacts of a spill and how it would be managed, a new permit was approved friday #ecofemsfu #noKXL

Women (and often WOC) are so often at the frontlines of activism and that’s something to celebrate I think! #ecofemSFU

[Lauren D @laurendvan]

@B_Your_Change exactly! i see an "east vs. west" divide in politics as ppl living in eastern canada have completely different concerns and views as people living on the west coast, like British Columbians. Sad that most of our political power lies in a region that's so far away.... #ecofemsfu

[Lauren D @laurendvan]

BC is in a unique position compared to neighbouring provinces due to its proximity to the ocean. the fact landlocked provinces are making decisions that affect the health of BC's oceans is completely unjust #ecofemsfu

"we are guardians of this land, and we are not leaving this land"- the powerful words of an Indigenous activist at Burnaby mountain pipeline protests #ecofemsfu
