Hey folks! On today's episode we're discussing and demystifying some key drivers and issues surrounding the Fairy Creek Blockades. The Fairy Creek blockaders want to save B.C's old growth forests, climate activists want to protect the planet for future generations, loggers want to save their jobs, John Horgan doesn't want to rock the boat in order to win the next election, lumber corporations want to keep making a lot of money, and the Pacheedaht First Nation are not unified on this issue - Elder Bill Jones wants to stop the logging while other Pacheedaht First Nations want to keep their jobs and contract. It's a messy situation, with deeply rooted systemic issues - that's why we talk to Joshua Wright, Colby Rex O'Neill, and Kim Murray today - they're all forest defenders who have been working on the frontlines of this issue and also care deeply about honouring  and respecting Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination. Joshua Wright is one of the main voices and organizers of the Instagram account @fairycreekblockade, which has over 19k+ followers.   There's a lot to unpack! But if you've ever been curious about many of the issues involved in the Fairy Creek blockades and what we need to do to keep our planet and communities healthy, our podcast is a great place to start!
