SUMMARY:And Again\, The Waters Speak - A Puppet Show Against Pipelines
DESCRIPTION:The Pirates of the Buried Swamp present a puppet show against pipelines: “And Again\, The Waters Speak”. \nTime: Friday\, February 27\, doors at 6:30pm\, show at 7pm\nLocation: United Church of Roger’s Park\, in the sanctuary\nPrice: Pay what you can\, suggested donation $15 \n“And Again\, The Waters Speak” is a community built puppet show about colonial wounds\, and building connections from Chicago\, across the Great Lakes\, and to the Enbridge Line 5 re-route in the ceded territories. Most of us who live in cities have been severed from relationship with water. In fact\, the city as imagined by empires cannot exist without this desecration\, and many cities have been standing for so long that we don’t know any other reality. \nBecause of this\, when people hear of extraction projects happening in rural places\, places that have often been protected for longer\, they rush to the front lines\, because it’s easier to fight for something one may see as ‘whole’ or ‘pristine’ than the waters of their own homes. This isn’t to say that one is more important than the other. All our waters are connected\, and by learning the stories of the waters we call home\, by learning how to listen when they speak\, we can stand in solidarity with those fighting extraction farther away from us\, rooted in deep love and responsibility for every being we are connected to in struggle. \nWe chose the medium of puppetry to tell these stories because we wanted to use public art builds as a way to connect with people and get folks thinking about extractive projects both in and around Chicago\, as well as in connection to the Enbridge Line 5 re-route through the ceded territories. Our goal is to draw attention to and question the settler colonial ways of understanding land and water\, to share research about the history of the canalization of Chicago and the effects of line 5 done by others\, and to put on a good show. \nThis is a story in a constant state of telling and retelling\, and we are reaching out earnestly and with curiosity to people who have something they wish to share or correct. Please reach out to us so we can sharpen our minds together. \nThank You!

SUMMARY:Animal Tracking Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us in learning to notice and identify the tracks & other signs of wildlife to help protect and monitor our watersheds!\nTracking is an important method for monitoring the impacts of the work that is starting to clear for the reroute of line 5. We are much more likely to see the tracks and sign of an animal who depends on ecosystems and waterways crossed by the reroute than we are to see the actual animal. This gathering is an opportunity get comfortable noticing and documenting tracks and can help prepare folks to monitor reroute activities and submit pictures of tracks for expert support in identifying the tracks. \nThe event will be held in the trails around the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center.

SUMMARY:Line 5 Reroute Hearing
DESCRIPTION:Pack the courtrooms to attend the Line 5 Reroute hearing!\nThis hearing is in response to the Bad River Band’s appeal of the WDNR permit for the re-route of Line 5. It will address the Band’s request for a stay on construction while the court case is open. The Bad River Band is continuing to object to the WDNR permitting of the LIne 5 reroute and the case is now being heard by Bayfield County’s Judge Anderson.\nThere is no public comment opportunity during these proceedings. Instead lawyers representing Bad River and lawyers from the WDNR and Enbridge will be presenting their cases to Judge Anderson for a decision. \nLocation: Bayfield County Courthouse with live streaming to the Iron County Courthouse. No virtual option\nPlease see the flyer for more details. \nDetails on the rules set by Judge Anderson regarding public access and media access: \n“Except for designated media representatives\, the general public will be prohibited from operating any electronic devices..”    ” Representatives of the media who wish to take still photographs of the proceedings must have permission from the Court prior to the hearing. “.. “No person\, including media representative\, shall be allowed to record by video or audio” \nAll media requests should be submitted more than 72 hours prior to the hearing. Iron County media coordinator:\nMichael Baldwin\, KBJR\n246 S Lake Ave\nDuluth\, MN 55802\n(218)481-6212\nmbaldwin@kbir6.com \nBoth the Bayfield and Iron County courtrooms will be open to the public during any hearing at which Judge Anderson will appear remotely. Seating is limited in both courtrooms and the safe room capacity in each will not be exceeded. Due to the number of attorneys and parties and the need for a more robust video conference and presentation system than currently exists in the Iron County courtroom\, in- person appearances by lawyers and parties will be in the Bayfield County courtroom. \n\nWith that\, there is an opportunity for folks who are interested in taking on an independent media role to get a press pass. If you’re interested\, email southshorewaterprotectors@proton.me \nAs defined by law (Constitution and Bill of Rights)\, journalists with an official press pass have additional protection while working at actions. The designation also provides for privacy related to their “source” of information. It is time a Water Protectors’ News Team be established. The first step is to identify a small diverse group interested in obtaining an official Press Pass. We have identified a legally registered news outlet willing to issue the pass. If you are a good writer\, have the ability to move fast to an action/event\, critically observe/document and are skilled at using the wide array of platforms for getting news out\, you are needed!\n\n\n\n\n
