It is our human right to clean air and water.
I hold in high esteem those who protect our sovereignty, trees, land and water in the face of police violence.
I stand in solidarity with those who have suffered atrocities and oppression from the system.
I uphold all human rights to truth, freedom and sovereignty of our bodies, lives and choices.

Stop Line 3
Line 3 is a proposed pipeline expansion to bring nearly a million barrels of tar sands per day from Alberta, Canada to Superior, Wisconsin. It was proposed in 2014 by Enbridge, a Canadian pipeline company responsible for the largest inland oil spill in the US. Enbridge seeks to build a new pipeline corridor through untouched wetlands and the treaty territory of Anishinaabe peoples, through the Mississippi River headwaters to the shore of Lake Superior.
All pipelines spill. Line 3 isn’t about safe transportation of a necessary product, it’s about expansion of a dying tar sands industry. Line 3 would violate the treaty rights of Anishinaabe peoples and nations in its path — wild rice is a centerpiece of Anishinaabe culture, it grows in numerous watersheds Line 3 seeks to cross. It’s well-past time to end the legacy of theft from and destruction of indigenous peoples and territories.

Last Stand For Forests
We are facing an urgent climate and biodiversity crisis. Science has proven that the health & integrity of temperate ancient rainforests directly mitigates climate change. It is our vital and internationally crucial responsibility to immediately implement emergency policy and regulation change around how these ecosystems are maintained.
This non-violent, direct action campaign launched when a small group committed to stopping road construction into the headwaters of the nearly intact Fairy Creek watershed on Southern Vancouver Island, unceded Pacheedaht territory.
This fundraiser directly supports legal funding for indigenous land defenders and activist protectors working on the frontlines of this campaign.
