News from resistance at COP30 in Brazil.

BLOCKADE! (BLOCKAGE, in French) traces five years of resistance on Nehirowisiw territory, deep within Nitaskinan, so-called Quebec, Canada.

This short documentary follows land defenders and their allies in their fight against Law 97, a forestry reform that would have handed over the province’s remaining forests to industry.

Through footage shot across multiple blockades and camps, the film shows how Indigenous resistance forced the government to withdraw the bill — a victory that mainstream media largely ignored.

Amplifier Films invites everyone to download the film, screen it in your communities, and host your own screenings at home, in cafés, or local spaces.

Ready-to-print posters and materials are available in the shared folder to help organize community showings.

Filmed between 2021 and 2025, BLOCKADE! is part of Amplifier Films’ ongoing work to support and document land defense and Indigenous sovereignty struggles.

Former Earth First! Journal editor Russ McSpadden just released Borderlings, a book of poems about wildness, empire, culture, biodiversity, and living life in the borderlands. Check out these notes from the publisher ⬇️ earthfirstjournal.news/2025/11/01/one-way-to-fight-is-to-amplify-what-you-love/

"Russ and I got to know each other as I joined him on trips in the field, and bonded during the successful civil disobedience that stopped former Arizona Governor Ducey’s stunt of building a border wall out of old shipping containers.

"I was impressed as I read Russ’s poems. There’s a clarity and precision to them that creates a very human opening.

"The pain of capitalist extraction juxtaposed with the beauty of parenting and the ecosystems that hold us.

"I wanted the world to be able to witness not only the images of destruction, but also understand what was happening from the perspective of a human heart."
