THANK YOU everyone who bought a print and supported. Just donated $2000 to the Unist’ot’en camp legal fund! #wetsuwetenstrong

I got a chop ✂️ feels good to let go ✂️

Hi! I’m reprinting ‘Precarious Planet’ (one of my favourite prints I’ve ever made) and will be selling them for $60 with 100% of proceeds being donated to the Unist’ot’en camp legal funds. http://unistoten.camp/support-us/donate/ just days ago RCMP moved in to forcibly remove and arrest people from their traditional territory where they are defending their unceded land, air and water from a TransCanada LNG project set to begin construction- despite the fact that all five clans and their hereditary chiefs living in this territory have said no. This is not reconciliation. This is the colonialist state of Canada acting in the interests of a company, willing to use brutal force against people living on their own land. You can purchase by messaging me or buying through my shop. Free pick up in Toronto and $20 shipping elsewhere. Stand with land defenders. They are on the frontlines and need support right now. #wetsuwetenstrong

Stand with Unist’ot’en and Wet’suwet’en who are protecting their traditional territory. RCMP have raided and arrested 14 people at the Gidumt'en camp with brutal force...make no mistake, this is unceded traditional territory. they have no right to forcibly remove people from this land. “I am here in my home, on my land," one of the protest leaders, Freda Huson, said on the Unist'ot'en camp website. "I am not a criminal for protecting my most critical infrastructure which is my berries, my medicine, my water, my right to teach future Unist’ot’en generations how to live in right relationship with the land. Without water, no human will survive and these projects like TransCanada’s Coastal Gaslink threatens the water. We are the land, the land is us.” #wetsuwetenstrong #unistotensolidarity
