True Democracy in Action - For the People and By The People -
Hundred Voices of Conscience
Citizens scored a big victory in Langford today, re-occupying the site
of the proposed Bear Mountain Interchange and forcing RCMP and
"feller-bunchers" to retreat! Let us build on this victory by taking
a new step...
Hundred Voices of Conscience
Call to Mass, Peaceful, Direct Action
Against the Bear Mountain Development and
Further Construction of the Interchange
This past week's paramilitary-style police operation
sanctioned by the City of Langford, to circumvent the
growing legitimate public opposition to the Bear
Mountain interchange, was a heavy-handed assault
against land, local democracy and current, widespread
ecological consciousness.
At a time of unprecedented ecological crisis, it is
the moral obligation of the entire human community to
take immediate action to prevent unnecessary harm and
destruction to the natural world and all its
inhabitants; and to reverse developments that
systematically destroy the life-support systems of the
earth for profit.
Hundred Voices of Conscience, inspired by the
Ghandian tradition of mass civil resistance, is a
call:
1. To gain the pledge of a minimum of 100 conscientious citizens who will peacefully, simultaneously and with dignity, incur the risk of arrest, to cross police lines surrounding the forest of the proposed Bear Mountain interchange;
2. To intervene between the land and earth-moving
machinery;
3. And to act on our civic duty to prevent unnecessary
harm to the delicate ecosystems around Spencer's Pond
and the Langford Lake caves; and to prevent further
build-out of the Bear Mountain development on Spaet (Skirt) Mountain, shared traditional territories of Coast Salish peoples.
We seek solidarity with like-minded individuals
willing to make a commitment to a community initiative
of mass non-violent direct action at an undisclosed
time and place. Legal training and support will be provided.
If you wish to be one of the Hundred Voices of
Conscience, please sign the pledge and arrange to return it by emailing hundredvoice@gmail.com as soon as possible.

PLEDGE
I pledge to participate in the Hundred Voices of
Conscience to peacefully take a stand of non-violent
civil resistance to the unwise, destructive and unjust
construction of the Bear Mountain Development and
interchange.
By so doing, I agree to the Hundred Voices of Conscience Code of Conduct.
Hundred Voices of Conscience – Code of Conduct
1. I refrain from any action that harms or damages
nature or property.
2. I treat everyone I meet with friendliness and
openness about my intentions and motivations for
participating in this action.
3. I look after the safety of my fellow resisters.
4. I expect to be treated with dignity and respect –
free from harassment, harm and injury by all who I encounter.
