LEGAL FEES FOR ERROL GREENE INQUEST
"We're raising funds for the ongoing legal costs associated with the inquest into Errol Greene's death happening later in 2017. The inquest will come before the civil suit, and only the latter will be pro-bono. There is a chance that the civil suit, if won, could include damages for the costs of legal representation in the inquest. However, we would also need to put money raised here towards other costs that will not be covered during the inquest, such as childcare, transportation, etc. The legal costs are impossible to estimate but could be up to $25,000."

Standing against the Line 3 pipeline.
Information from the Manitoba Energy Justice Coalition
Support Spirit of the Buffalo, a peaceful land defence against the Line 3 pipeline:
- Join the resistance in person - Organizers have called for people of all nations and backgrounds to join the camp and help uphold the resistance on the frontlines.
- Donate to Spirit of the Buffalo - They are seeking financial support to buy supplies, including gas cards, shade structures, solar generators, food, and water. This supply list will be updated regularly, but the organizers are asking that people make donations towards supplies rather than sending the supplies themselves, to ensure the right materials and amounts are purchased. Donations can be made on the MEJC donation page here: https://www.mbenergyjustice.org/donate and will be used entirely to support the frontline organizers, with remaining funds being held for a legal defence fund.
- Spread the word - Follow Spirit of the Buffalo on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Spirit-of-the-Buffalo-193174971349463/ and follow MEJC on facebook, twitter, and instagram, and help amplify the calls to action and updates as they come in from the frontline. Sign up for our newsletter and encourage friends and family to do the same. Talk about Line 3 with your friends and family and educate them on why this is a critical moment to fight against this violent project.
