2 months ago“No Pipelines!” Two months ago, Honrei Morgan and other Gitksan youth organized an important meeting in Gitanmaax Village to share their deep concerns about the PRGT pipeline with hereditary chiefs, elders, and community members. They spoke passionately about the pipeline’s threat to their traditional lands, salmon, and wildlife, as well as its contribution to worsening climate change. Their message was clear: they are fighting for their future, their culture, and the survival of the Lax’yip. Please listen to Honrei’s words and learn why this fight matters! 👊 Honrei is from Wilp WiiGyet, Gistgaast Clan of the Gitsegukla area and is currently studying at Mount Royal University in Calgary. @honrei_morgan 🎥 @vovoproductions ___________________ #gitanyowhereditarychiefs #gitanyow #gitanyownation #gitksan #gitxsan #gitanmaax #prgt #lng #nopipelines #climatechange #climatecrisis #indigenousrights #foodsecurity @davidebybc @nathanpcullen @georgeheyman @justinpjtrudeau @stevenguilbeault @soniafurstenau

2 months agoThe Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project is a new fracked gas pipeline planned for northern B.C. It’s a carbon bomb on the scale of Coastal GasLink, it threatens salmon, lands and waters, and it does not have the consent of communities along the route. Construction began in August, but resistance is mounting. Gitanyow hereditary chiefs have blocked pipeline traffic from their land for the last six weeks and a new blockade camp is up and running on Gitxsan territory. Three different legal challenges are in the works, and pressure is building on provincial politicians ahead of a major decision in November about the fate of the project. In this webinar, we’ll share communities’ concerns about the #PRGT pipeline, real-time updates from the frontlines, and what the B.C. election results mean for this struggle. You’ll hear from Naxginkw/Tara Marsden, Wilp Sustainability Director for the Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs; Stephen Nyce, a Nisga’a hereditary name holder from Gitwinksihlkw; Taylor Wale, fisheries biologist from the Gitxsan Nation; Kai Nagata from Dogwood, and other special guests. Join us on October 23 at 5:30 pm PST to get the latest updates from the ground and learn how you can take action in solidarity with frontline communities during this critical time window, wherever you live. Link in bio to register! ✨ #PRGT

2 months agoThe betrayal of the Reconstruction caused massive dislocation and confusion among Black people in the south and in the country in general. They were not prepared for this at all. Suddenly many Whites that they thought of as friends became open and declared enemies. The Freedmen’s Bureau and other agencies that had been set up to assist the former slaves were dismantled. Some southern politicians actually attempted to reestablish slavery. Southern writers, teachers, and bigoted agitators turned the cause of southern redemption into a religion. Finally the Republican Party bargained away the political rights of the southern Blacks in order to pacify the brooding southern Whites. Black politicians held on for a few more years, but their heyday in southern politics was over. The southerners were given the right to handle the “Negro” as they saw fit. This “right” opened the door for the rise of the Ku Klux Klan and other bigoted White terrorist organizations. The murder and harassment of Blacks by the Ku Klux Klan in the rural areas of the South drove Blacks in large numbers into the developing urban cities. In the cities, Blacks experienced even more complicated troubles, in addition to a new sophisticated kind of harassment. Blacks could not find jobs for the skills they had. Housing was poor, and the right to vote and hold public office had been challenged by the Ku Klux Klan in the cities. The Blacks had been deserted by their northern White friends. Many of the New England school moms who had come into the South a decade earlier had married southerners and had become southern in their attitude toward Blacks. The new Black educational institutions in the South were in serious financial trouble. Begging by the heads of these institutions is what kept most of them alive. This combination of events caused large numbers of Blacks to migrate from the rural and urban areas of the South to the industrial cities of the North. These migrating Blacks were looking for better jobs, better housing, better education for their children, and in general, a better way of life.

4 months ago(From left) Committee Chair Robin Rue Simmons, committee member Bonnie Lockhart, Council Member Krissie Harris and assistant to the city manager Tasheik Kerr. Evanston’s Reparations Committee Thursday announced that about $5 million has been disbursed so far to direct descendants and ancestors in the city’s effort to repair harms from discriminatory practices. Ancestors – who lived in Evanston between 1919 and 1969 as adults and who were affected by housing discrimination practices such as redlining – have received $3,392,974.81 as of September, according to the committee, which met at the Morton Civic Center, 2100 Ridge Ave. Direct descendants of Black residents who lived in Evanston from 1919 through 1969 have received $1,675,000, according to the committee.  The city has met with 71 of 80 direct descendants and they have received funds. Of the other nine, four asked the city to hold off, two have small affidavits pending – forms that allow next of kin to transfer property from a deceased family member – and two the city has been unable to contact.  “I think it’s a step in the right direction. It’s not the only step that we’re taking, but 71 of 80 is a big number, and that’s a big deal,” Second Ward Council Member Krissie Harris said.
