Dear Friends of SJS,
Some upcoming events and opportunities that may be of interest to you:
Celebrating Front-Line Indigenous Resistance (Solstice Cafe, 7-10PM, Sat Mar 8th)
For the month of
February, folks renounced creature comforts and raised funds for indigenous
land defenders as part of Discipline for the Revolution... now we want to
celebrate!
Join us on Saturday March 8th from 7-10 at Solstice Cafe (529 Pandora) to honour
everyone's commitments to front-line indigenous resistance groups: Ancestral
Pride and the Unist'ot'en Camp.
This event is by donation (and also a great opportunity to drop off funds
raised during the month of Feburary for Discipline for the Revolution) and
welcome to all.
