Seattle Best Human Rights Abusers

posted by Japhet in Old Growth, RAN General on April 18th, 2007

A couple of activists up in Seattle along with our old growth team sent a strong message to Weyerhaeuser and their doting subsidiary Quadrant Homes: stop logging land and forests that belong to first nation’s communities, like Grassy Narrows. Checkout the footage at Seattle’s King 5 website:

Nicely done folks. More info on this coming soon.

    Thanks for the kudos. Please also note that while Weyerhaeuser is the primary user of wood from the area, it doesn’t hold the logging license in Grassy Narrows (though they want a part in it), Abitibi does.
