Bout damn time. His ass was scheming behind Westwin Resistance to get in the good graces of Westwin Element's CEO Kaleigh Long before we prevented them from moving forward with their full scale refinery, instead opting for Georgia. #kiowa […]

‼️ EMERGENCY ACTION 🇵🇸 - Lawton/Ft. Sill Trump and Netanyahu choose to resume Gaza genocide. In full coordination with the Trump administration, Israel has resumed its genocidal war against the people of Gaza. Over 400 people were murdered by Israeli strikes in the opening hours of this new phase, and the attacks are ongoing. A full-scale ground invasion may be coming soon. All of this aggression is being carried out with a U.S.-supplied arsenal funded by our tax dollars. Oklahomans will not tolerate the US funded genocide. We will be holding an emergency protest to show that the people of the Lawton/Ft. Sill area stand with Palestine. Join us at Lawton City Hall at 10am on Saturday March 22nd!

Community Petition to Lawton City Council created by Westwin Resistance Lawton City Council has allocated at least $3 million dollars of public funds to Westwin Elements' experimental cobalt and nickel refinery. Westwin Elements is in direct violation of the clear intent of the Medicine Lodge Treaty that this land be used for agricultural, and not industrial, purposes. This refinery was established with no consent given from the local tribes despite the refinery acting as a threat to public health and long term environmental wellness. Through the cosigning and funding of this project, the state of Oklahoma is continuing its legacy of committing atrocities against Indigenous people in the name of industrial expansion. SIGN THE PETITION يللها bit.y/StopWestwin PETITION DEMANDS
