Wespac’s long and sadly neglected committee, Friends of Turtle Island, is being rekindled.
Join us if you are interested in our mission of finding ways to stand in solidarity with (and learn from) Indigenous peoples locally and worldwide.

Also, come support our friends of the Ramapough Nation at an important screening of the film “Mann vs. Ford” a documentary about the Ramapough people, the Ford Motor Company toxic dumping, the EPA and legal actions that have been taken over the last 30 years. (The lands have been twice listed on the Superfund site. This is the only site in America to be twice listed). Chief Vince Mann of the Ramapough Turtle Clan will be there to speak. This will also be an opportunity to be guided in writing a letter to the EPA on this issue.
