"Three forest protectors were arrested on Tuesday protecting the old-growth forests west of Victoria, as Canada continues to target with police operatives protecting the interest of destructive industries. The police ops are 's C-IRG, the Community Response Group.

"Abolish C-IRG said, 'Due to the increasing amount of -led anti-resource extraction movements in British Columbia, the Community-Industry Response Group was born. C-IRG is unique to British Columbia.

Background: Back to Fairy Creek

"The last time the world was watching Fairy Creek, we witnessed the largest act of in . Well over 1,000 Indigenous and non-Indigenous forest defenders were arrested by the RCMP over months of tense standoffs in 2021 as sought to halt the logging of rare .

"The courts hammered that movement, with charges and bail conditions keeping many away, and the tussle in the trees went dormant for most of the last two years.

"Until now.

"A new blockade, led by and supported by non-Indigenous allies, has just been erected on a key bridge crossing an arterial logging road. The RCMP's specialized tactical team that responds to land defence actions is present and surveilling the camp. A raid could come any day, and having on the ground is of crucial importance to keep tabs on police and document the latest developments as land defenders seek to protect their unceded territories from old-growth logging."

You don't have any plans for next week yet?
You aren't sure if you wanna stay after the building weekend, or come to for the eviction?
There's one good reason to stay on Monday evening: Paul GeigerzΓ€hler is coming into the forest, and will play a concert at 5pm!
So come into the forest, let some great music empower you, so that next week we can stand against the eviction, together and feisty!
Heibo bleibo stabilo!
