Solidarity and Soup: A fundraiser for Nehirowisiw Land Defenders
March 21 @ 6:00 pm
Join Climate Justice Ottawa for an evening of warm soup and burning solidarity to raise funds in support of Nehirowisiw Aski land defenders blocking logging companies from their traditional territories.
The event will feature a cozy community dinner featuring a wide variety of soups, art making, and screening of two documentaries about the struggle by the land guardians against the forestry industry.
Tickets: Available on a sliding scale, and includes two tokens that can be used to purchase soup or art. More tokens are available for purchase at the event. Please buy your tickets in advance so we can prepare for the number of attendees.
The Association des Gardiens du Territoire Nehirowisiw Aski is an organization formed by Nehirowisiw women, made up of matriarchs, hereditary chiefs, and land defenders of Nehirowisiw territory to advocate for the revitalization of matriarchal and traditional structures. They have been on the frontlines blockading and protesting the overexploitation of forests in their territory.
This year, a winterized camp was set up for continued occupation at what is known as Camp Souveraineté or Camp 134. This allows for the Gardiens and supporters on the territory to have a home base and launch other blockades across their territory. To support the Gardiens and the work they do, you can provide financial support to keep the camp going, and follow the blockade @checkpointparent
