#Elsipogtog

elsipogtog

The struggle against exploitations, especially in indigenous lands, is growing. Everywhere the dominant culture demands more land, more resources, at the expense of the locals and the rest of nature.  And everywhere, we fight back.

In Gállok environmentalists, anarchists and Saami (the indigenous people of northern Europe) fought together to stop the opening of new mines in reindeer herding areas, and we will continue fighting together to stop exploitations of what gives us life.

Today some mining resisters came together to show support for the struggle against fracking in Elsipogtog in Turtle Island (North America). Your fighting spirit gives us hope and inspiration.

Same struggle, different battles

 

Kamp mot exploateringar, speciellt bland ursprungsbefolkning, växer överallt. Överallt kommer den dominerande kulturen och kräver, mer mark, mer resurser, på bekostnad av lokalbefolkning och resten av naturen. Överallt kämpar vi emot.

I Gállok förenades miljökämpar, anarkister och samer för att stoppa gruvetableringar mitt i renbetesland, och vi kommer fortsätta kämpa tillsammans mot exploateringar av det som ger oss liv.

Idag samlades några gruvmotståndare i Jåhkåmåhkke (Jokkmokk) för att visa sitt stöd för kampen mot fracking i Elsipogtog på Turtle Island (Nordamerika). Eran kämparglöd ger oss hopp och inspiration.

Samma kamp, olika platser.

 

 

 

Gör en solidaritetsaktion imorgon 2a dec! #Elsipogtog #mikmaqblockade

Emergency Day of Action Dec 2nd – Solidarity for #Elsipogtog

A message from the HWY 11 Land Defenders:

“We are not giving up despite these harsh weather conditions, sacrificing time with our families, our jobs, our homes, not only to protect land, water and people but to ensure a brighter future for the next 7 generations. We are asking for more support, through road blocks to be in solidarity. This is not just an Elsipogtog issue, this is a global issue and we need to raise awareness. Show us support any way possible, sending thank you’s, road blocks, banners, even dropping by, all and every type of support is appreciated.”

ElsipogtogThe 3rd encampment in Mi’kmaq Territory, at HWY 11, which saw stand off’s between the Mi’kmaq peoples protecting the water and RCMP protecting corporate interests, is requesting widespread global support.

The Provincial Court of New Brunswick has approved an injunction which names 5 people, including “Jane” and “John Doe”, to target the HWY 11 encampment. This encampment has successfully turned away SWN vehicles and is preventing SWN from conducting seismic testing on unceded Mi’kmaq lands. Each day that SWN cannot conduct its testing, it costs the company $54, 000. SWN is once again looking to the RCMP to enforce the injunction most recently granted. At this time, the RCMP have used the injunction to target the Mi’kmaq and have set up a “check point” on HWY 11, where the RCMP stop vehicles to arrest passengers and drivers at their whim.

We remember the last time the RCMP enforced an injunction against the Mi’kmaq people. As seen historically, the RCMP will continue to enforce the violation of treaties and attack Indigenous self-determination. At this time, the RCMP are not only harassing Mi’kmaq Land Defenders and non-Native supporters, but continuing to throw them in jail. On Thursday, November 28th the Mi’kmaq again turned SWN away – declaring another day of victory. They are standing up against brutal police repression, and continued theft of Indigenous lands and ongoing colonization. Show them they are not alone!

On Monday Dec. 2nd HWY 11 Land Defenders are asking you to show your solidarity by taking action in your community. Where possible, highway shutdowns are encouraged however any action of support, such as banner drops, are welcome. #ShutDownCanada

Ge aktivisterna support i domstolen!

I Gällivare:

Torsdagen 28/11, i Gällivare, inleds rättegångarna mot de aktivister som gripits under sommarens gruvprotester i Gállok (Kallak). För att ge dem stöd och fortsätta uppmärksamma vad kampen handlar om kommer vi under dagen att genomföra en manifestation utanför tingsrätten i Gällivare.

I stockholm:

Vi anordnar i Stockholm den 28/11
en stödmanifestation
för våra hjältar, Gállok-aktivisterna.

Tid: 10.00
Plats: Medborgarplatsen

I somras genomfördes Kamp Gállok, ett protestläger för att uppmärksamma regeringens destruktiva mineralpolitik, och för att stoppa JIMAB:s (Jokkmokk Iron Mines AB) prospekteringar i Jokkmokk. Flera våldsamma polisingripanden med gripanden ägde rum, och redan nu står de första aktivisterna åtalade. Domstolsförhandlingarna äger rum i Gällivare tingsrätt den 28 november.

I Jokkmokk och Gällivare anordnas stödmanifestationer för de åtalade.

Vi vill också visa vårt stöd för aktivisterna även i Stockholm.
Vi bjuder in alla till att delta och på sitt egna sätt stötta aktivisternas insatser och kampen mot regeringens gruvpolitik.

Vi kommer att med oss en banderoll eller två, gott humör, några trummor och pepp till aktivisterna.

Det har kommit upp andra aktiviteter som förslag här nedan, och vi uppmuntrar alla till att ta initiativ och utöka stödet på det sätt en känner för, tillsammans med oss och på andra platser.

Låt oss visa vårt stöd tillsammans!

The summer 2013 a new area of occupied Sápmi were under attack from the mining industry, if it were not for some brave resisters the test blasting outside Jokkmokk would have gone by without commotion. The Saami people would have once again been exploited and future generations of beings would have been poisoned without even a debate. Now something happened. This is the story told by the resisters in Gállok. These views are not often televised. This is not an attempt to make an ”objective” film, as if that was possible. This is why we revolt and why you should join the struggle!

It might look like we had a really hard time out there, but most of the time we had fun and were just hanging out in a really nice environment with a lot of nice people around. We got very much support from locals and from people all over the globe! Thank you all participating in any way! Good times!
