Powershift BC in Victoria October 4-7
by Zoe Blunt - Wildcoast.ca
Happy fall! Good news - I'll be presenting at Powershift BC in Victoria October 4-7.
It's a climate action strategy conference with workshops and panels especially for youth (but everyone is invited.) The keynote speakers are David Suzuki and Maude Barlow. I'm leading the workshop on Non-Violent Direct Action at the University of Victoria.

Winter is coming to Unis'tot'en Camp, and a crew is working to finish the roofs and walls of the new traditional-style pithouses so visitors are comfortable when the snow comes.
The blockade camp has been going in a big way for over two years, every day, around the clock.
Hundreds have contributed their time, labour, and funds to make the camp what it is today - a force to be reckoned with. Please support the fall construction camp. Visit the Caravan to Unis'tot'en Camp page. http://wildcoast.ca/caravan.
Great news: It looks like one of the pipeline projects that was "approved" to go through Wet'suwet'en territory is way behind schedule. There's no official announcement yet, but work was supposed to start in earnest a year ago. Could it be all the publicity and support for the Unis'tot'en blockade in the pipelines right-of-way scared the investors away? Or did we slow them down enough that a competitor beat them to the finish line? Stay tuned!

Here on Vancouver Island, we're putting together a Solidarity Peacekeepers team. We'll give training in non-violence and conflict resolution and keep the peace at local events. Solidarity means we stand up to protect indigenous people, people of colour, environmentalists, feminists, LGBT people, immigrants, workers, low-income people, differently-abled people, and grassroots groups if they are under attack. We're looking for a few good people to start. To volunteer, please message wildcoast@riseup.net.
Corporations have money and the backing of the government, but we have people power, and we're holding our ground. Please share your ideas on leveling the playing field. You can call or text me anytime at 250-813-3569. Thank you for your support!
