Dear PAOV,

We have good news and bad news.

The good news: you’ve already raised several thousand dollars to help Treaty 8 First Nations elders travel to Ottawa to defend their treaty rights and stop the disastrous Site C mega dam!

The bad news: late yesterday we learned that the federal Department of Fisheries has issued permits to let Site C construction continue while First Nations legal challenges are still before the courts.

This is a brutal decision to flood First Nations territory and some of the best farmland in the world - and the fight is far from over. The West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations’ appeal will still go to court. And there is reason to believe there may be real divisions within Trudeau’s government on Site C so they need to hear from you.

We have a plan to launch an emergency response early next week - and it's more important than ever to get voices from the frontlines to Ottawa. We also need to make sure as many Liberal MPs as possible hear outrage from their constituents. Can you donate $20 today?
