IN SOLIDARITY
WET’SUWET’EN STRONG: A FUNDRAISER was hosted by Bo O’wadi and Rianne Svelnis on February 15th, 2020 at KW Studios in Vancouver, BC.
To support the event, Ziyian Kwan facilitated an auction for which many local artists, businesses, individuals and organizations donated goods and services. Many people further contributed by bidding on items. We donated all proceeds – $3300 – to Unist’ot’en Camp Legal Fund.
