On 12 January 2024, indigenous land defenders Sleydo’ Molly Wickham, Shaylynn Sampson and Corey Jayohcee Jocko, were found guilty of criminal contempt of court for breaking a court order forbidding them from blocking construction sites of the Coastal GasLink pipeline, a 670-kilometre pipeline planned to carry natural gas across northern British Columbia to a terminal in Kitimat.

Corey Jayohcee Jocko is a Mohawk from Akwesasne of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, a multidisciplinary creator and defender of Indigenous and environmental rights. He has been a crucial supporter in movements to protect land, water and the rights of all living beings. Arrested at Standing Rock and during the #ShutDownCanada movement and most recently in Wet’suwet’en territory, Corey is currently facing trials in both Ontario and BC. His latest single, "Dreams," written during his ongoing trials, speaks to resilience and the power of perseverance, urging listeners to keep dreaming despite obstacles.
