Dear Friends of SJS,

From Climate Justice Victoria: If you missed Climate Justice 101, you can watch last Wednesday’s live stream at https://streamofconsciousness.ca/climate-justice-101-live/

Tonight, Dec. 9:

INVASION: In an era of reconciliation, Indigenous land is being taken at gunpoint
Discussion with Sleydo Molly Wickham of Gidimt’en clan, Wet’suwet’en Nation

Date: Monday, Dec 9th
Location: Lkwungen Territory, Openspace, 510 Fort St 2nd floor
Time: 7pm - 9pm
Donations at the door to support Wet’suwet'en sovereignty

https://www.facebook.com/events/1500121250125873/

In this era of “reconciliation”, Indigenous land is still being taken at gunpoint. INVASION is a new film about the Unist’ot’en Camp, Gidimt’en checkpoint and the larger Wet’suwet’en Nation standing up to the Canadian government and corporations who continue colonial violence against Indigenous people.

The Unist’ot’en Camp has been a beacon of resistance for nearly 10 years. It is a healing space for Indigenous people and settlers alike, and an active example of decolonization. The violence, environmental destruction, and disregard for human rights following TC Energy (formerly TransCanada) / Coastal GasLink’s interim injunction has been devastating to bear, but this fight is far from over.

Donations for Unist'ot'en to bring...

We need paddlers to stop TMX!

Event Page:
https://www.facebook.com/events/430058471246691/

Do you have a boat/canoe/kayak or know someone who does? Do you want to help raise money for the legal cases against the Trans Mountain Pipeline?

We are holding a community paddle to raise money for First Nations such as the Tsleil-Waututh, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and Coldwater, who are taking the government to court to enforce their rights and protect our coast. These court cases may be our best shot of stopping the Trans Mountain pipeline before it causes irreparable environmental damage.

Dear Paov

First off, a huge thank you to everyone who has read our emails, shared our posts, sent letters to the editor, donated to the Legal Defense Fund and supported all the work that has been done on fighting for public health care throughout this legal challenge.

Tomorrow, December 5th, Joe Arvay, our legal council, was to give our Closing Arguments, and the trial portion of this case was to be completed on Friday. However, yesterday we received word that the judge is unable to attend court for the rest of the week. Today, it was confirmed that the remaining days of the Closing Arguments won't be rescheduled until the new year.

In the meantime, over 225 Letters to Editor debunking Day were sent to newspapers across the country and we are now seeing them being published. Thank you to everyone who participated.

We will keep you posted, as soon as we know when we will be back in court.

Peoples' Paddle for the Coast!

Where: Leaving from and returning to Banfield Park Dock, Victoria West
When: Saturday, Dec 14th, 10 am
Join & Share the Event on Facebook The election is over, and Trudeau is still promising to complete the government-owned Trans-Mountain pipeline without the consent of many First Nations. Construction is already underway on many parts of the route. In response, First Nations like the Tsleil-Waututh, Squamish and Coldwater are taking the government to court to enforce their rights and protect our coast. These court cases may be our best shot of stopping this pipeline before it causes irreparable environmental damage.
