Mi'kmaq Speaking Tour, happening February 6th and 7th.
Some background from the facebook event page:
"Members of the Mi'kmaq Warriors Society who have been arrested and incarcerated will be on a speaking tour in January and February to raise awareness about their struggle against fracking, their ongoing assertion and exercise of nationhood, and the repression they face from police and courts.*
“Our warriors are still being mistreated in the system, justice for our political prisoners of war.” Suzanne Patles, member of the Mi’kmaq Warrior Society"
Myself, along with wonderful Annie Morgan (cc'd), are co-coordinating the volunteer efforts to making the events welcoming and successful as possible.
Please consider contacting Annie and I if you are able to support in the following:
- Childcare
- Prepared food for the event at BCGEU (Feb 6th)
- Set-up and Take-down/clean up
- Drivers for transporting the speakers between events and possibly to and from the ferries.
If you are able and interested in volunteering, please reply by email. Please also forward this onto your networks to spread the word about the event. Any and all support is most welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to consider supporting this. I look forward to hearing from you all!
Peace,
Billy Yu
