Episode 1: Land, Law, and Climate Justice with Leslie Anne St. Amour

In this episode, we chat with Leslie Anne St. Amour, RAVEN’s very own Campaigns Director, to discuss two groundbreaking legal challenges: the youth-led case La Rose v. Canada, and  The current legal challenge brought forward by the two Wet’suwet’en House groups of the Likhts’amisyu Clan. Both cases look at Canada’s inaction on climate change, arguing that it is a violation of our Section 7 rights. Youth, and in particular Indigenous youth have the most on the line when it comes to climate change and its impacts. Join us as we unpack these important legal challenges and  how law, land, and resistance are shaping the path toward a more sustainable and just climate future. Note: This interview was recorded before the Chiefs went to court on August 21st. They have already concluded their court appearance and we are awaiting a response.
