All Logging Roads Lead to Weyerhaeuser

Greetings,

Last month, we drew international attention to Weyerhaeuser's
bad behavior in the forests of Grassy Narrows First Nation.

Today, we are asking you to take a minute to put the Ontario
government on notice. Join thousands of other activists in
sending a letter to Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty calling on
him to end clear-cut logging within the traditional territory of
Grassy Narrows.

In the United States, activists in Seattle and Los Angeles
continue to pressure Weyerhaeuser homebuilding subsidiaries that
have been repeatedly linked to the conflict. Quadrant, a
subsidiary of Weyerhaeuser, is actively using wood taken from
Grassy Narrows.

The Seattle Rainforest Action Group (SeaRAG) took the lead,
planning pickets at model home sites and a two-day activist
training in September.

Meanwhile, RAN activists in Los Angeles went door-to-door,
talking to homeowners who were misled into buying what they
thought were "green" houses from Pardee Homes. These homes were
in fact built with wood bought from Weyerhaeuser and extracted
from Grassy Narrows.

Demand that Premier McGuinty and the Ontario government stop
logging Grassy Narrows territory and stand up for the rights of
the community so more trees from Grassy Narrows don't end up in
American subdivisions.

Thanks to everybody in Seattle and LA! Thanks also to everyone's
kind donations. Whether it's your time or money, your
contributions make a difference!
