EMERGENCY CALL-OUT Our tree-sit at Lost Creek in Burnaby is under attack!
08/09/21
Please spread the word and come when you can. Bring water, canned fruit. It appears the plan might be to starve out the tree-sitters. Lots of security on site and, since yesterday, lots of fencing erected around the trees where the tree-sit platforms are.
Solidarity,
