  1. Fellow #SaveOldGrowth forest defender, Sheena, made a short film. It includes the jingle dance circle with me & several other #environmental #landback #activists on the bridge between River & Landback resistance camps.

    River & Landback camps were main strongholds at Fairy Creek blockade. River camp was the first resistance camp set up in 2020 & it ran for a year before final big raid. There are 2 very rough logging roads that lead up to untouched old growth forest tracts from these camps. River camp is also where people could go hike to see/visit with Grandmother & Grandfather cedars. After we were removed, industry started cutting more roads up into the untouched old growth tracts. Teal Jones logging company has since pulled out due to financial issues & everything is up in the air at this time. Temporary deferral was renewed this year for some tracts by this one particular area in the watershed. Still hoping for permanent protections as the elder trees are not included in this small deferral.

    "My student documentary on the Fairy Creek/Ada'itsx old growth forest blockade 🌲 something of a collage, made with many hands and hearts. While the blockade and movement has evolved and gone through many stages, the momentum remains and many still carry forth the activism in heart and deed."

    Up there in Fairy Creek they are fighting for the ancient forest from high in the trees on platforms rigged of rope and wood the chainsaws from Mulo just could send them falling
    Brave protectors of the Fairy Creek blockade, this song's for you.

    I believe in the good things coming
    I believe in the love that lives on this earth Of Brazilian bodies
    I am here to receive, I am here to give
    Stay brave, protectors of the Fairy Creek blockade
    A hundred elders marched the dawn up a hill to stand upon a holy grove of trees
    Older than the Notre Dame
    Past picket lines and ATVs they sang for the land they wished to leave home for their children's children
    Singing I believe in the good things coming
    I believe in the love that lives on this earth the Brazilian bodies
    I am here to receive I am here to hear
    Stay brave, protectors of Fairy Creek
    There's a war been going on through the soul of the world since the break of dawn, how do we share this land we stand upon?

    I am a newborn to this place
    Though I've lived here all my life
    My ancestors came across the sea to stand for what they thought was right they broke trust treaties too can't unright the past is true
    But I'm here to understand and stand with you Singing I believe in the good things
    I believe in the love that lives on this earth of resilient bodies
    I am here to receive, I am here to give
    Stay brave, protectors of the Fairy Creek blockade
    My whole story is in my heart
    Gentle as they fall apart the land remembers more than I ever will
    Still I'm here to witness this
    Brave ones high up in the trees the sweetness of your farewell kiss the gentle of the morning breeze what stories will they tell of me
    One day soon that's all will be
    Amid a distant memory what stories will they tell?

    And today we sing
    I believe in the good things
    I believe in the love that lives on this earth of Brazil.

  3. 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.

  4. Twiggy leads #Indigenous #drumming & singing healing ceremony to help us deal with the multiple day/night raids at river & landback resistance camps. This was around 2pm in afternoon. River & Landback camp crews united for ceremony before going back to our old growth defense stations. By this time, both camps had suffered multiple raids by RCMP CIRG. I had not slept in 3 days. I was taking short rest breaks on cot on bridge, in between going into hard & soft blocks, all day/night for over a week. I chained myself to the bridge for 5 days prior to this ceremony & used a bucket to pee/poop - frontlines activism is not for the weak/people who can't survive without comforts.

  5. Actually with its second report the #ClimateForests Coalition has documented 22 federal #forests that are threatened by @BLMNational and @forestservice logging projects like the #UpperCheatRiver Project in #WestVirginia climate-forests.org/worth-more

  7. WOW! Quoting from the article "Regionally, our dataset shows that eastern North America, the Amazon, the Congo Basin, Europe, boreal #forests, southern China, and Southeast Asia are #carbon sinks" attached is fig. from report. #ClimateForests #WorthMoreStanding

  8. 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

  9. 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

    Tonight!!! Join @OurWVRivers for a virtual “Conversation on Headwaters” at 7:00 pm, 3/23. Ensure our tradition of pure, pristine Mon Forest headwaters now and for future generations. Sign up for your place in the conversation…

  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

    Want to take on #ClimateChange? Let's start by protecting #OldGrowth forests from logging and deforestation. Tell @POTUS @USDA @forestservice to make🌲🌳🌲 part of the climate solution. #StopTheChop #LetForestsGrow #WorthMoreStanding

  12. 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.
