This is an excellent effort to both mobilize people and to give us hope, much like Seth Klein's book, The Good War. I don't think it will convince the national leaders in North America, but it may well convince legions of regular folks, and we can then organize ourselves and mount joint actions that will compel the leaders to do what must be done.

The fight over the Canada's TMX pipeline, which is being constructed through hundreds of kilometers of Indigenous territory without consent, is not over. Our volunteer editorial board is planning a series of articles this summer about the pipeline and resistance to it, and thanks to your support earlier this year, we are able to pay contributors to this series nearly double our usual pay rates. We will pay between $400 to $600 per piece.
