The conviction of tireless American human rights lawyer and environmental defender @SDonziger for contempt of court was a miscarriage of justice. Watch this short video to understand why he should be pardoned.
President Biden just commuted the sentences of 1,500 people and pardoned 39 others. Happy for them, but disappointed I did not make the cut.
There are 40 days left in Biden’s term — please help me and the Amazon communities deliver justice to Chevron.⤵️ teapawt.net/SDonziger/status/18673…

Why tent cities are becoming more permanent. They're in every city and town in Canada—the visible evidence of overlapping crises and a lack of resources to help people in need. Q+A w/ of @StepanWood of @CLE_Allard link.chtbl.com/TheBigStoryCY… via @thebigstoryfpn #homelessness

In many cities across the country, encampments have sprung up as people struggle to find stable housing. Many get torn down by police or governments, but @StepanWood with @CLE_Allard tells us why we may see tent cities become more permanent lnk.to/bigstory

In a new op-ed, Professors @StepanWood, Alexandra Flynn & Estair Van Wagner warn a proposed bill on ‘alternative shelter’ risks doing serious harm to unhoused people and will undermine Charter rights. Bill 45 will be debated in the BC legislature tomorrow. theconversation.com/british-…

The second event, happening Nov 2, will launch a report from Prof Flynn and @NBlomley that focuses on the belongings of precariously housed people, analyzing the multiple laws and regulations that govern people and their personal property.

We have two report launch events this fall related to homelessness and encampments. The first, on Oct 26, marks the launch of @StepanWood's report on how BC courts decide requests for injunctions to remove homeless encampments from publicly-owned land.

Yesterday @SaraGhebremusse gave a speech to end all speeches at her @AllardLaw farewell. She answered a question raised at April faculty council on why she’s leaving. She did it to help those of us who remain & I hope Allard senior leadership heard it. #WOC #academia @ubcprez
Today I had the distinct pleasure of watching my beloved @SaraGhebremusse deliver one of the most impassioned, biting commentaries I've ever heard. She is made of truly, truly unbelievable stuff.
I've downloaded my archive and am suspending my account unless and until @Twitter ceases to be the personal toy of @elonmusk. Please follow @CLE_Allard for info and ideas about law & the environment!
