May 11, 2023 From the Ground Up Ep. 279: Indigenous resistance to RBC's fossil financing | 2023.05.10
On 5th April 2023, the Royal Bank of Canada held its AGM in Saskatoon. On the agenda were a number of motions calling for an end to the bank's heavy financing of fossil fuel expansion; Indigenous leaders including We'tsue'ten chief Na'moks arrived with proxy votes to speak to and support those motions. In the event, however, the chair of the meeting shunted proxy voters into a side room connected through a screen to the main meeting, and cut the microphone when Chief Na'moks tried to put his case.
However, he was free to speak on the previous evening, at an Indigenous-organised panel presentation. This week's episode covers Chief Na'moks' speech to that meeting, and also the message from Roishetta Ozane, from Texas Campaign for the Environment, whose mainly Black community has been negatively impacted for decades by the oil industry.
