[IPSM] Akwesasne Alert-- blockade on border established by police forces

[Dru Oja Jay]

-- Please forward to anyone near Cornwall --

The Mohawk community of Akwesasne is currently blockaded by both American
and Ontario Police fores on either sides of the border, due to their
defiance of the order to have the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) be
allowed to carry lethal weapons on the border that strattles their
community. This territory is both in New York and Ontario, and traffic (in
particular residents of the reserve) have been prevented from entering this
community.

The residents of this community are asking people to attend immediately, if
possible, to witness, record, or otherwise exhibit solidarity with the
Mohawk community as they resist this particular attempt to reduce their
rights and self-determination.

For those who can, please make your way to this border community-- near
Cornwall, Ontario.

For more information, please contact Sandra Cuffe (to get interviews,
updates, etc from community members) at:
