SEA November Members Meeting

Tuesday Nov 20th, 2018
6pm
711 Douglas St
Below Crystal Gardens

Hosted by Social Environmental Alliance

At this meeting, we would like to explore how we can help make the newly elected progressive Victoria city council responsible to SEA policies, campaigns and actions. This might include lobbying techniques (emails to city council, speaking at city meetings, coffee with councillors, figuring out how to organize to keep and get more people involved, etc).

 

Once motions are adopted at Victoria city council, we can then lobby with Saanich to get same motion of progress towards "people and planet before profit".

Statement of Purpose

The Salish Sea Protectors' Fund ( SSPF ) is a legal defense fund established in the summer of 2018 by the Victoria-based Rise and Resist and Social Environmental Alliance ( SEA ) in response to the rolling mass arrests against the TransMountain tar sands pipeline/tanker expansion. 

The purpose of the fund is to provide financial assistance to local frontline activists who have been arrested in peaceful civil disobedience and direct action either directly asserting or upholding Indigenous Title and rights in defending a liveable climate,  clean water, wild salmon and the endangered southern resident Killer whales from the risks of tar sands and fossil fuel expansion, industrial open-net fish farms and other industrial threats to the cultures, communities and biodiversity of the Salish Sea.

As resources are available, the fund will help cover personal costs associated with being arrested such as paying fines, lost income, legal fees, child care and travel costs etc.

Webinar Recorded on March 1st, 2018 and is Available Now

No Consent Trudeau - No Man Camps on Stolen Native Land

https://www.indigenousclimateaction.com/
Climate change has caused us to take a look at ourselves and reevaluate our relationship with each other, our communities and the land. Indigenous communities continue to be at the forefront of not just experiencing climate change but at the heart of the fight against the causes of climate change. 

Women are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and Indigenous women are more likely to experience sexual and physical violence in their lifetime. This webinar explores how violence against the land through the extraction and exploitation of resources and fossil fuels perpetuates violence against women. Resources taken from our lands contaminates the environment and damages eco-systems all while increasing greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere which worsening climate change. However, these projects also come along with “Man Camps” (temporary labour force camps) that result in increased sex trafficking, drugs, crimes and ultimately violence against women.
