Feature length documentary film: "UNREPENTANT: Kevin Annett and Canada's Genocide"
Dear friends and supporters,
Last week, William Combes stood with me outside Christ Church Anglican church in Vancouver and spoke through a loudspeaker to passersby about the tortures he suffered at the hands of priests at the Kamloops Indian residential school in 1964. And thanks to William's bravery, for the first time TV audiences saw and learned about the murder of children at that school.
It's those kind of small acts of integrity that have created the growing wave of change we're seeing across Canada. But William couldn't have made his stand last week without the presence of supporters through our network known as The Friends and Relatives of the Disappeared (FRD).
Founded in 2005, FRD has forced historic apologies and disclosures from the government and churches of Canada, including their admission that thousands of children died at their hands in the residential schools.
FRD is a community-based movement that is completely self-funded, and depends entirely on your help to sustain it in this enormous David and Goliath fight to win justice for victims of genocide in Canada, both past and present.
We have worked in every province except the Maritimes with residential school survivors to win recognition and justice for those who have had neither.
Every month, FRD requires about $600 to sustain its work, including the travel costs to have me and others speak at public events and conferences across the continent, and the expense of producing copies of my books and our award-winning documentary film, UNREPENTANT. Our work involves documenting eyewitness stories of crimes in the residential schools, holding public events and rallies, publishing our information and educating the public about what we have learned.
Our work is now reaching a critical stage, as evident in an invitation I have just received to speak before indigenous groups at the United Nations during May and at human rights gatherings in Europe in the fall. The fact that the Vatican has been forced to issue a belated "apology" to residential school survivors reveals the growing impact of our efforts.
To fulfill these tasks, FRD and I must raise $5000 to allow me to travel to these destinations, conduct more cross-Canada organizing trips, and raise the profile of our work and the stories of people like William Combes.
At present, our financial resources are negligible. I receive no regular income from any source, devoting my days to the work of FRD and helping countless residential school survivors on the ground. And operating under a constant blacklisting for my work, I cannot rely on normal sources of income. I have only you.
On behalf of William and many others who cannot speak to you, but whose voices must be heard, I am asking each of you to consider contributing once or regularly to the work of our truth movement.
Please donate to our work. You can donate through paypal, on my website or through a series of post dated cheques, made out to our treasurer, Lori O'Rorke, and mailed to the address below, or by direct bank deposits to this account:

I appreciate any amount that you can pledge at this time. It will go a long way, and will be received with my personal thanks and gratitude. Please share this appeal with your own networks, as well.
In addition, for those of you who pledge or donate $250 or more, you will receive complimetary copies of both my book Hidden from History: The Canadian Holocaust and our film UNREPENTANT.
Finally, if you can help organize a speaking event for me in your community, that will also help us raise the funds we need to continue.
In hope and thanks,
Kevin D. Annett
