For the Love of Betty

On March 5, 79 year old environmental activist Betty Krawczyk was sentenced to a 10-month sentence for protesting at Eagleridge Bluffs… My friend Daniel who is an activist and documentary filmmaker, was the first person to introduce me to her work several years ago. This January, I had the honor of performing at a velofusion fundraiser for her legal defense fund…

Despite this unbelievable sentence, I feel that it has served to bring awareness to many more people about the issues at hand and Betty’s continued perservance is deeply inspiring. Learn more about Betty at her blog: http://bettysearlyedition.blogspot.com

CKNW has a poll about whether or not people think Betty should be jailed on their website.
