Support the Tyendinaga Arrestees!
Urgent need for money to cover legal fees for Tyendinaga Warriors.
On March 8, following a week of action demanding a national inquiry into the at least 825 missing and murdered indigenous women across Canada, warriors from Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory blocked the CN mainline. This action, which fell on International Women’s Day, came the day after the release of a Parliamentary report which attempted to dismiss and deny the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women and prevent any meaningful response or action. This is a continuation of colonization and its inherent violence against Indigenous communities, particularly Indigenous women. For more information on missing and murdered women in Canada, please visit: missingjustice.ca
During the rail blockade, Shawn Brant, Matt Doreen, and Marc Baille were arrested and are facing charges ranging from mischief for blocking the tracks and blocking a road to assault police, and possession of weapons. Steve Chartrand was arrested on the Thursday following the blockade on charges of mischief. Other charges have been announced in court, but have yet to be formally laid.
Marc Baille remains in custody, after refusing to sign restrictive bail conditions that he deemed to be unreasonable and unlivable. These court-ordered conditions would effectively ban him from the Tyendinaga community and prevent him from associating with members of his family, and further keep him from working at the motorcycle shop where he has worked for four years, causing a significant financial strain on his family and on the motorcycle shop.
The two others arrested on Saturday were released on bail Sunday morning. Shawn Brant reported becoming violently ill after a meal provided to him while in detention in the OPP detachment at Napanee, where he received no medical assistance despite alerting an officer to his condition. For more information, click here.
Currently, there is an urgent need to raise money in order to retain lawyers, to run bail reviews and superior court appeals on the non-association conditions, to order court transcripts, to cover transportation costs to and from court and jail, and to cover canteen fees and collect calls for those in detention, and to support families as necessary..

Meanwhile, the Canadian government remains complicit in the murder and disappearances of hundreds of indigenous women. Actions to demand justice for these women, their families, and their communities are as important now as ever!

Blogroll Overhauled
Letting you all know, the Kersplebedeb blogroll has been fixed and is now up and running. Dozens of blogs and other websites are indexed and will have their articles automatically listed.
The godawful wait time that the blogroll has had for the past year – up to several minutes to load! – is a thing of the past.
Of course, don’t assume just because something is linked to that it is something i have read or even am aware of. It is an automatic feature on my site, and lots shows up there and disappears again without my ever being aware.

ONE WEEK SALE AT KERSPLEBEDEB LEFTWINGBOOKS!
It’s December, and it has been a busy year here at Kersplebedeb – getting this new site off the ground, publishing several new books and pamphlets, and just continuing with all the other little tasks, duties, and pleasures that this work brings
As will happen every so often, our storage space is now overflowing with books, and so we need your help to get rid of some. So for a very limited time only, we are reducing prices on over a hundred books and pamphlets, in some cases way below half the regular price – be sure to take advantage of this now, because this sale will not last for long!
The fine print: if you are ordering for a store, you will not be provided with a discount on the sale price. You will either get your regular discount, or the sale price, whichever is lower.
Sale ends December 14th. In order for packages to be delivered to the united states by December 25th, please order by December 9th at the latest or else choose express post. Within canada order by December 11th or choose express post.
OK, so here’s the fun part, the cheap books (hover over a cover to see the special, click to order):
