Dear friends and movement supporters,
This is no April Fool's joke. This morning at BC Supreme Court Justice Veerhoeven granted an injunction that will subject ancient forest defenders to arrest and forcible removal for defending the last stands of ancient forests at Fairy creek and elsewhere on Pacheedaht territory. Eight months of die-hard blockades and the tireless efforts of a community of supporters growing daily to protect forest ecosystems 10,000 years in the making, are under attack with an order from the court to back down or face arrest.
We will not be fooled by government lies, false promises and doublespeak. We will not be deterred. We know a new story can be told in which these last, rare ancient forests and their precious beauty, biodiversity and critical role as globally significant carbon sinks and as sacred places of prayer, sources of salmon and medicine for Indigenous peoples, can win protection in a climate emergency that demands we safeguard all ancient forests everywhere, now!.

Please be advised that the previous address of tomorrow’s caravan was wrong. The correct address is 3510 Blanshard St. It is the Save on Foods Store across the Uptown Mall and not the memorial arena.
In Victoria our Caravan will be in unison with caravans around the globe in demanding an end to the criminal, immoral, genocidal, and illegal blockade that the US has imposed against Cuba.
During Trump’s term, 220 measures were further imposed to cause harm to the island's economy and the Cuban people.
The U.S. blockade against Cuba has been the longest blockade ever imposed on any country. Along with 187 countries who voted against the blockade at the U.N. General Assembly in 2019 and the 12 million Cubans who keep suffering because of it, we call on the U.S. to end such criminal action and respect international laws, Cuban...
