People across B.C. are breathing in climate breakdown this week. 


In Kitimat, toxic flames roared 182 metres (600 feet) into the sky above the LNG Canada terminal, in an “unplanned flaring event” on Monday.


In Vancouver, kids walked to school under a thick blanket of wildfire smoke, with air pollution levels worse than any other city on the planet.


And yet our government continues with its single-minded goal of expanding the fossil fuel industry – with the U.S.-owned Ksi Lisims LNG megaproject next in line for approval.


They’re doubling down, and so are we. Welcome to the Dogwood News September fundraising drive.


We’re giving ourselves 30 days to raise $10,000 to be ready for a fall full of rapid-response actions as the LNG battle ramps up — and we can’t do it without you.

Can you chip in with a September fundraising gift?


We don’t have Donald Trump’s billionaire buddies backing our campaigns like the PRGT pipeline and Ksi Lisims LNG terminal do. And we wouldn’t want them, anyway. We’re proud to be funded by everyday folks like you who chip in whenever you can to fight back against Wall Street greed and industry run amok.

That’s why I’m asking you, someone who gives a damn about B.C. and the people who live here, to please chip in whatever you can afford today and help us reach our $10,000 goal.

This is our first time dedicating a whole month to this big of a goal, but I have faith we can do it as long as people like you choose to donate.


Will you help us?
