Rainforest Action Network is supporting the Canadian indigenous community of Grassy Narrows in their struggle to stop Weyerhaeuser and Abitibi from logging on their land, and to regain their right to self-determination on their traditional territory. Support their cause by signing the online petition and checking out other forms of action at www.FreeGrassy.org

The Grassy Narrows' struggle is the perfect example that highlights what is wrong with status-quo forestry practices in the Boreal Forest, with these companies converting endangered forests and a way of life into Xerox copy paper and building materials for the U.S. housing industry.

You can help save the Boreal and the threatened way of live for Grassy Narrows by taking some of the following actions:

1) Check out the website www.FreeGrassy.org and sign the online petition that supports Grassy Narrows.

2) Spread the word about www.FreeGrassy.org by telling friends and family via email, newsletters or website postings/links. We want to give as many people as possible the opportunity to decide if they too would like to support the Grassy Narrows petition.

and/or

3) Host a movie night and watch a documentary that illustrates the struggles and strength of the Grassy Narrows people as they try to get logging companies off their native lands. For more information on a movie night and to receive a copy of the DVD pelease email David Sone at dso...@ran.org.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Quebec City collective: no longer exist.

Get involved !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
