Another end of the world is possible: #indigenous solidarity and blocking extractive infrastructure in Canada
"Not only can blockades “shut down the world”, they also open up space for a new one to be built, or in the case of colonized peoples, a world restored. We can look to many of the indigenous blockades or occupations of the last several decades for the examples of ceremonial, culinary, and other socially reproductive practices that point toward new ways of living which are themselves produced through resistance. Similarly, we see the revitalization of warrior culture being expressed at Standing Rock and other moments of indigenous revolt to be indicative of a broader possibility of life without the state or capitalism.
We hold evident that blockades are a crucial tactic in our war against planetary annihilation. With this tactical imperative, we call on all warriors and revolutionaries around the world to immediately orient themselves around blockading infrastructure. Collectives must research infrastructure to find the most vulnerable chokepoints and get organized to block them in effective ways. Those without fighting comrades can still contribute by engaging in lone wolf acts of sabotage. – Disrupt the Flows: War Against DAPL and Planetary Annihilation"
Protesters blocking the landfill south of Winnipeg say their resolve is stronger after a man shoveled soil & debris on a MMIWG mural near the blockade.
The blockade went after Manitoba refused to fund a search for the remains of 2 Indigenous women.
Academics say that disruptive protest helps rather than hinders activists’ cause. This comes from Apollo polling 120 academic experts in Sociology, Political Science etc.
The poll also found that disruptive tactics were effective for issues (like climate change) that have high public awareness and support.
90% of experts thought that non-violent climate protests targeting the government are at least somewhat effective overall.
