SUGGESTED PHONE SCRIPT:

"Hello, I have an important message for Steve Rogel.  Can you please direct me to a the proper extension? [wait to be transferred]

Hello Mr. Rogel.  My name is _____________ . I'm calling to encourage you to develop an exit strategy from the ancestral homeland of Grassy Narrows First Nation.  Building American Homes from Canadian clear-cuts is an unethical business model.  I am concerned that Weyerhaeuser continues to rely on outdated practices that ignore the cultural and environmental value of the Boreal Forest.  As CEO, you should promote stronger social responsibility at Weyerhaeuser beginning with an exit strategy from Grassy Narrows.  Until that time, I will not buy Weyerhaeuser's products and will ask those in my community to do the same. 

Thank you."

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I have called Weyerhaeuser at the phone number above. I hope it will help the Grassy Narrows' community fight for their forest rights.

Sincerely,
