[Indigsol] Akwesasne Action on Saturday

[ipsmo at riseup.net]

** Please spread widely. **


The Warrior Society at Akwesasne has called for an occupation of the CBSA
checkpoint and customs office that the community evicted from the Island
in 2009. The plan is to convert the abandoned CBSA checkpoint and office
into a healing centre.

These Indigenous land defenders are asking for as much support as possible
for this action. Supportive folks with banners/placards with messages
around "missing and murdered women, no pipelines, no borders, and Mohawk
sovereignty themes" are encouraged.

The land defenders are meeting on
** Saturday, March 22nd at 12 noon **
at the Crossroads (The People's Fire Building) on Cornwall Island. Just
Google Map Cornwall Island, and it's the main intersection on the Island
(at Island Road).
