Support the Nuchatlaht Nation
Last summer, I visited the Nuchatlaht Nation’s territory on Nootka Island — a beautiful place off the west coast of Vancouver Island, home to sea otters, sea wolves, and some of the most spectacular old-growth forests I have ever seen.
I also saw some of the biggest tree stumps, logging equipment, and slash piles I have ever found in the field. Industrial operations have decimated Nootka: there are now over 1,000km of logging roads criss-crossing the rainforest.
Nuchatlaht has launched a title case to regain control over their land, but the process is being held up by B.C. lawyers who are arguing the unthinkable: that the Nation “abandoned” their territory on Nootka Island — when it is the government’s own actions that forced them off the land.

Rojava Revolution: Autonomous Self-Governance in Northern Syria
In Spring 2011, the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) of Rojava, northern Syria established a People’s Council of West Kurdistan around the concept of “democratic confederalism” wherein diverse peoples and political actors united under an autonomous anti-state structure of self-governance. Three regional “Cantons” formed a federated structure encompassing most of northern Syria. Rojava’s revolution was defended by two militias–the People’s Protection Units (YPG) and Women’s Protection Units (YPJ). The emergence of a secular, feminist, anti-authoritarian system of self-governance in the midst of Syria’s civil war was an extraordinary event and military victories against the Islamic State (notably the heroic rescue of minority Yezidi peoples besieged by Islamic State forces in the Sinjar mountains) brought the Rojava revolution to world attention.
