Inspired by this poster, my activism began in 1997 when I joined the successful Native Forest Action (NFA) campaign to stop state-owned enterprise Timberlands from logging ancient forests on the West Coast.
Now, the Fast Track Bill could threaten those same forests🧵
After a long occupation of the Charleston Forest, many direct actions and years of campaigning on the West Coast and all around Aotearoa, we prevailed. The forests were saved. Logging stopped, and the forests were protected soon after the Helen Clark Govt took power in 1999.
