Despite all Land Defenders holding a valid proxy, RBC executives would not allow them to enter the main room and instead had their security guards lay hands on Indigenous elders in an attempt to bar them from participation. In the end, Land Defenders were forced to participate from a secondary room. Show your support for and sign this letter.

Example of protestor who knows her rights & stands up for them. I had similar encounter w/VicPD last Spring - they sent 26 cops to deal w/me. I chained myself up to front doors of Hudson building RBC & sat in chair, with Solidarity signs supporting around me. Crown dropped charges despite fact I told cops I want my day in court to speak up on why I did that. Lead detective didn't like me being friendly w/his boys & said I'm too 'likeable' to be processed inside office😂

From the declaration:

A junior lawyer, who wished to remain anonymous, said:

“Young lawyers are being placed in an impossible position. We’re being told by our firms and regulators it’s a professional obligation to act for fossil fuel projects, knowing that doing so will poison our own future and all of life on earth. That’s wrong on every level. It’s indefensible. If the profession doesn’t look out for my generation, how does it expect to survive?"

Lawyers in need to take similar action. What if they also refused to prosecute like the hereditary chiefs and their allies?

Outrageous and shameful that a judge can deny genocide at a residential school and then jail an Indigenous land defender who is also a residential school survivor.

First the local people were poisoned by dumping of mercury. Their forests were being clear-cut and now the mining companies are claiming rights to their land.
