r1 Communities need legal support to stand up against environmental harm ... DONATE NOW
Dear Paov,

My name is Carol and I'm the Access to Justice Program Manager at WCEL. We provide hundreds of hours of legal advice and referrals, acting as a legal hotline, for people like you who care deeply about protecting the environment.

Communities all over BC are rallying to protect the land, water, and air that they love from the actions of big corporations, resource extraction companies and developers, and sometimes even our governments. And West Coast Environmental Law Research Foundation is there to provide legal resources and support when people raise their voices against environmental harms.

Paov, will you stand with us today so that we can continue our important work? Please take your support to the next level by making a donation to West Coast Environmental Law Research Foundation. DONATE TO SUPPORT WCEL Last week, we sent you Cara's story.

Cara is a bird-lover who deeply cares and worries about wetland wildlife in her community near Bridal Falls.

Due to the construction impacts of Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion, she and her community partnered up with West Coast to stand up on behalf of the species affected, including:
  • Birds such as owls, hummingbirds and sapsuckers;
  • Animals such as squirrels, rabbits, bears and bobcats;
  • Threatened salamanders.
This level of commitment and effort from Cara's group has and will continue to avoid disruptions to dozens of species that live in the wetlands – and we're so glad to have been a part of it.
SUPPORT COMMUNITIES LIKE CARA'S
The truth is, Cara's group is just one of hundreds of communities across BC expressing growing concern about the environment.

They want to put up a fight, but often end up feeling helpless, frustrated and powerless.

Paov, we depend on donors to continue our work, and today, BC communities need your support.

Your donation today can provide grassroots community members with legal information, referrals and connections to other organizations and the moral support they need.

You can act today and tell them that they are important, and have an impact on all of us.


Sincerely,

Carol Coffey
Access to Justice Program Manager
