BREAKING: Forest defenders have launched a tree sit to stop old growth logging on federal Bureau of Land Management land in Southern Oregon. Community members are opposing the Poor Windy timber sale, which targets over ten thousand acres of public forest.

The timber wars are still being fought.
Wall St. corporations are leveling ecosystems on public land for profit, and local community members are putting their body on the line to protect mature and old growth forests.
“Cutting down trees does not make forests more resilient to fire, as the BLM wants us to believe, but actually has the opposite effect - increasing wildfire risk, endangering our communities and driving the climate crisis.” #ForestDefense

Last week I went to the White House to demand a pardon from President Biden. Below is an excerpt from my speech; please share.
I remain the only person in US history privately prosecuted by a corporation. Mr. Biden must act now. ⬇️

The @BLMNational is using community fears about wildfire to justify their continued targeting of fire resistant mature and old growth forest.
Tree sitters in southern Oregon are putting their bodies on the line to defend these forests, and the communities that rely on them.
USFS and BLM hire timber companies to help thin federal forests to reduce wildfire risks. But environmentalists say the agencies are allowing the companies to take old and mature trees that are in fact best equipped to withstand wildfires.

Support the demands of the tree sitters in southern Oregon and rally with us tomorrow in Portland.
@BLMNational @DebHaalandNM @POTUS must immediately end mature and old growth logging on public land.

‼️Treesitters have launched a SECOND occupation to stop @BLMOregon’s “Rogue Gold" timber sale, which targets old growth + mature forest for logging.
This comes weeks after a successful protest against the Poor Windy sale, where old growth was protected after a month tree sit.
"Who’s taking the extreme action here: the people who are trying to log these trees or the people who are putting their bodies on the line to defend them?"

A HUGE THANK YOU!
This week’s win protecting #OldGrowth at Poor Windy would have not been possible without all of the incredible support we’ve received from our Southern Oregon community in the past 4 weeks.
