[Iswg3906.organizers] FW: Rebel! Rebuild! Rewild! Funding Request]

Sun Jul 27 19:04:21 PDT 2014

Hi folks:

Thanks for sending this along, Peter. I have pasted two additional funding
requests in the body of this email which we received via the gmail address,
as well as a request from Marguerite about tabling on campus in the fall. I
am pasting it here because I'm not sure if she sent it to the organizer's
list.

Thanks for following up with Muckwa as well. I support this donation as
well. We received a flurry of emails lately. Lots to discuss at the next
meeting.

I think all of these donations sound really important. There is so many
incredible forces for change in motion in the world and any support we can
offer is what we're about.

Take care,

Tony

Hello all,

My name is Jaydene and I am part of the Hamilton Expansion Committee of the
People's Social Forum. Perhaps you have heard of it. The People's Social
Forum is a large gathering to be held in Ottawa August 21st to 24th, where
people from across the country are meeting to build solidarity and find
ways to work together and move forward. Our committee attempted to run
events in Hamilton which would tie larger nation-wide events to the
relevance of our area. Last night we put on a film screening of Resist: The
Unist'ot'en's Call to the Land at Volunteer Hamilton. We had local land
defender Danielle Boissoneau and guest speaker Vanessa Gray from
Aamjiwnaang First Nation come in to speak. While we were able to get some
of the funds covered for the event, there were some additional funds that
sprung up at the last minute that members of our group needed to scrape
together to help out our speaker that we were hoping you might help us with.

Gas money to get Vanessa Gray to Hamilton:   $40.00
Bus ticket back to Sarnia for Vanessa Gray:     $100.57

Thank you so much for your consideration on this matter. The event was very
well received and it was really illustrative for members of Hamilton to
hear about indigenous land and water defense struggles close to home in
Chemical Valley. Your help in covering these funds would be very much
appreciated.

i Friends

The past few weeks have been an intense journey towards building solidarity
between Six Nations and local Line 9 activists.  Through the journey we
have managed to build relationships founded on like minded thinking and a
common love for the water and the land.

The reason I am specifically writing is to ask how I may apply for funding
to reimburse some local Hamilton activists who have paid for much gas to
travel to Six Nations on various occasions in order that we may have these
relationships.

We have also used money from out of pocket to print resource materials for
community members, like the "Not Worth the Risk" report as well as several
maps printed in color to illustrate where the pipeline crosses
Haudenosaunee and Anishnaabek territory.

The approximate cost for gas used over a 5 week period is $200 for two
different drivers, as well as printing costs which is going to be
approximately between $40 and $50. The total cost we would be asking is
$245.

As always, miigwech for your continued support.

Hi guys,

We are in the midst of setting up times to talk to departments the
week of Sept.
2nd (mostly on Sept. 3rd) and wanted to know if people from PAC and ISWG
would be able to come in as well for some of these sessions.

More details on times/locations to come, just wanted to give a heads up and
get a sense of availability that week.

In sol,
Marguerite
