Rose Henry – two people die every week of exposure in Victoria, one aboriginal #yyj #uvicsjlc #
Shane Johnson is the only aboriginal support worker on Vancouver Island and surrounding. Grossly inadequate and unfair #uvicsjlc #
.@KasariGovender of LEAF to break down problems with legal aid and beating our heads against the wall. #uvicsjlc #
If your treatment in the legal system is proportional to how much money you have, this is the primary problem #uvicsjlc #notalawyer #
If legal aid is the only way to partially equalize legal treatment and it had been cut consistently since 2002… #uvicsjlc #bcpoli #
.@KasariGovender states that every $ spent in legal aid is $7 saved later #uvicsjlc #
Common theme from legal aid and advocacy panel. No money, outstretched. Small amounts of money now saves a lot later #uvicsjlc #
RT @a_w_young: Babysteps: Wall Street Journal: Canadian Conservatives acknowledge vote suppression in 2011 http://t.co/b5lNFYln – #cdnpoli #
RT @Dave_Eby: Rick Schwartz to law students: Get involved in governance of non profits and community orgs. "Skills are needed." #uvicsjlc #
Next panel on environmental justice and the law with @blunt1 @triadonaldson Deborah curran and Chris Tollefson #uvicsjlc #

Canada is far behind in mapping and correlating poverty, race, class and pollution #envjustice #uvicsjlc #
Was such a pleasure to meet @Dave_eby one of BC's most awesome people doing great work with the BCCLA #uvicsjlc Good luck Dave. #
Tollefson is talking about #slapp suits brought by corporations and others to chill public participation #uvicsjlc #
More on #slapp suits at http://t.co/t6sjzSgH #uvicsjlc #
Old colonial concept of "losing" party paying costs irrelevant in public interest litigation, another chill. #uvicsjlc #
Citizens cannot privately prosecute corporations and government for breaking environmental laws in BC #bcpoli #uvicsjlc #FAIL #
.@triadonaldson starts by stating that these issues are connected, about privileging corporations and leaving people behind #uvicsjlc #
To summarise @triadonaldson Organize!! Organize!! Organize!! #uvicsjlc #
.@blunt1 of the forest action network up next to talk about tactics in the environmental movement #uvicsjlc #
Heh. Every time an environmental law stops bad development, the govt. changes the law #uvicsjlc #
.@triadonaldson talks about the power of storytelling to drive movements #uvicsjlc #
+1 RT @TAPSBC: @blunt1– what a spitfire!! All eco-panelists sooo great and do such great work! #uvicsjlc #bcpoli #yyj #
