  1. #ForestFriday

    A magical tribute to Canada's #GnarliestTree - in #AvatarGrove in #PortRenfrew.

    We fought hard to save the ancient trees & their life-sustaining wild ecosystems, to get Avatar Grove area protected & turned into a public park. It was previously on the corporate deforestation list prior to the hard grassroots fight to save this area of Port Renfrew, where old growth forests were rapidly dwindling due to colonial capitalist style of short-term greedy gains & putting nature last. Nature should be first.

  2. My frontlines interview with Donna Clark from #XRVancouver has finally uploaded.

    I talk about why I'm at the blockades. I talk about the ecocide on my family's matriarch homelands. I talk about the devastating & longterm effects of the US invasion on Vietnam. I talk about how we need to protect/study/find more ancient forest medicines. I talk about colonialism & brutalities. I talk about my amazing resilient villager relations. I talk about how ecocide destroyed my matriarch village ways of life.

    I also bring up the sellouts.

    We were carpet bombed by #USA #racist terrorists. Fact.

    Please take the time to listen to what I have to say. Thank you for those who care enough to listen to me & why I keep fighting for a better world - for all of us.

  3. #RainbowNation #Resistance.

    With #SisterFriends at frontlines. Warrior POC women against ongoing colonial ecocide. I had not slept for 3 days & had not bathed in 8 days at that time. I was chaining myself to bridge & other infrastructure for over a week. I had experienced over 50 RCMP CIRG raids by this time & refused to stop fighting back. We, war survivors, do not back down from colonial forces easily.

  4. My friend, Jane, from Lake Cowichan, was the first senior citizen activist who was arrested in 2021, at Fairy Creek Blockades. She messaged before heading out to meet up with me at HQ camp. She told me she's never been arrested for protesting anything before but due to seeing too much ecocide still happening in her golden years - declared, 'Getting arrested for protecting Mother Nature is now on my bucket list"🌲💦 💗🦅🌲🦉🌲 Jane stayed at HQ camp for 2 nights & on her 3rd day, headed out to chain herself/walker to a tripod hardblock. Jane was arrested, along with 12 others that day, after several hours. Jane is a wonderful human being, a musician, a fibers artist, a Mother & Grandmother, who loves nature very much.

  5. #FuckTheRCMP - they flew these #helicopters multiple times, daily, to try & intimidate us. We had Transport Canada verify that this helicopter maneuver & 3 other ones documented at other resistance camp areas was illegal & violated federal regulations but no action was taken to punish people responsible for violations.

    This footage was taken before over 100 RCMP CIRG goons raided 4 different #ResistanceCamps.

    Voluntary RCMP #CIRG unit was created in 2017 as a strictly corporate mercenaries unit in BC. Approved by #BCNDP government. The same government who has given them multiple budget increases - millions of #BCtaxpayers monies were used for that. Taxpayers monies were also used by #BCgovernment on attempts to criminalize environmental activists in BC courts. Some of the court cases are still ongoing.

    RCMP CIRG is a fully voluntary unit & RCMP who choose to join the unit get paid more than regular RCMP goons. It's all about the extra money for these colonial greedy chumps.

  6. Thank you for highlighting the #UpperCheatRiver project that is #clearcutting #OldGrowth #forest, just like other #ForestService projects in the East. e.g. the #TelephoneGap project. #WorthMoreStanding

  8. The National Forest is GREAT. But why are they #clearcutting on slopes >50% in the #UpperCheatRivver Project when it just contributes to #flooding and loss of #biodiversity . #WorthMoreStanding

  10. Went to D.C. and got good response from Senators to community request that F.S. stop #clearcutting the steepest slopes. Below is a local F.S. clearcut on >50% slope, which is contrary to the #Monongahela #Forest Plan. Can't see how this helps with #flooding #WorthMoreStanding

  11. RT @WildWestInst
    Pacific Northwest study of landslides, #clearcutting timber and building roads shows that #forest management history has a greater impact on how often landslides occur and how severe they are compared to how much water is coursing through a #watershed.
