Hi all, I wouldn't be able to make that day either. Next Thursday evening would work for me though. Generally later next week is pretty open for me at the moment.

> I'm moving that day--sorry for the late notice but theres no possible way I can make it. Please feel free to meet without me. Alternately, since no one else has responded, I would suggest next week a couple days before the workshop/event. Maybe thursday evening? Whatever y'all think is best so long as we have enough time to plan for the event/discussion

>> Hello all, I'm back in the country (as of about an hour ago) and things are a bit up in the air but I'm happy to try and make a meeting in the next week or so. I'm not the best person to suggest a date at the moment because I don't have my schedule in front of me, but will chime in on the possibilities that others throw out there.

>> See you soon :)

>> Join Six Nations land defender Theresa “Toad” Jamieson and the Two Row Society for a rally and court support at the Cayuga courthouse onAugust 28th at 10am, for Toad's final trial date. We have seen the huge difference that a courtroom packed with supporters makes - in terms of empowerment, emotional support and evidence of a strong, growing powerful force in the face of the criminalization of Indigenous land defenders.
>> 
>> Toad has been defending Indigenous land rights and Kanonhstaton, the Six Nations Reclamation site, ever since the land near Caledonia, ON was reclaimed by Six Nations in February 2006. At the height of this winter’s Idle No More movement, the rounddance during her court date sent a strong message that the fight for the land requires lasting support of Indigenous women land defenders.
>> 
>> Toad is being dragged through the courts because of charges stemming from anti-Native rights activist Gary McHale’s provocations. (See below for more info).  Toad is defending herself in court, asserting that the Canadian justice system violates both the Two Row Wampum treaty and the rightful law - the Great Law of Peace - of the stolen land on which the courthouse stands.
>> 
>> Since 2006, hundreds of thousands of dollars have gone towards policing and court costs for McHale’s actions which result in criminalizing Indigenous women, such as Toad, for defending the land and responding to direct racism. The Two Row Society wants to call attention to the discrepancy between this approach and the complete lack of government resources dedicated to a national public inquiry into the hundreds of missing and murdered Indigenous women.
>> 
>> As Toad fights for the land, she fights for all of us. Packing the court with supporters, sends a powerful message. We will not let the Canadian government violate the treaties any longer! We will not let the Canadian government ignore violence against Indigenous women while dragging land defenders through the courts and protecting the prejudice of anti-Native rights activists! Join us!

Perhaps we could meet Sunday (I'm available earlier in the day, would need to be done by 6:30 though).  Or Friday, any time would work.  What's good for the rest of y'all?
