A moment of celebration for #Clayoquot, a tract of pristine old growth saved. #OldGrowth #forests #BCpoli https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/06/21/opinion/Clayoquot-celebration-pristine-old-growth-saved

Please do not ever forget us.
We fought for you & for our #Oldgrowth #forests & #environment. We are still fighting! I was first arrested at #Clayoquot Sound. It was my very first #environmental #blockade. I have been arrested multiple times since. I refuse to stop fighting for #MotherEarth.

This is a lifelong commitment for many of us longtime activists.

After multilple huge #Indigenous stand-offs against govt assisted ecocide on unceded native lands for over 3 decades in #BritishColumbia. #RCMPCIRG is a voluntary #CorporateMercenaries unit, funded by public #Canadian taxpayers' monies & it should be #ABOLISHED.
