Kjipuktuk (Halifax) – After 23 days Jacob Fillmore is ending his hunger strike in support of a temporary clearcutting moratorium on Nova Scotia Crown lands. He made the announcement during a well-attended rally at Province House, the third one in as many weeks.

“I am feeling increasingly weaker, especially mentally things are getting harder and harder,” he told an appreciative and grateful crowd.

This fight is far from over. As I take a step back folks across the province are stepping up,” he said. 

“If asking politely doesn’t work, we are not afraid to resort to peaceful nonviolent direct action. When I started my hunger strike, I was in despair. I saw the destruction of the environment happening around me and I could not figure out how to change it.
