I could not call myself a “Climate Champion” in good conscience unless I was feeling pretty miserable about the situation at the Fairy Creek Blockade. Canadian friends have been helping me put perspective on the situation. If you would like to more about why this act of civil disobedience is happening and what is at stake, I recommend you listen to this powerful interview with Tzeporah Berman - an internationally-renowned environmental activist of decades standing. And you might want to read Rachel Baker’s fine piece in The National Observer on how the situation can be deescalated and the trees be saved. The photo below comes from her coverage.
