We’re sharing this urgent call to action in solidarity with our partners Stand.earth and the Wet’suwet’en people in Canada fighting the Coastal GasLink pipeline.
Last week, Coastal GasLink installed equipment to drill under, and risk contaminating, Wedzin Kwa, a pure and sacred river revered by the Wet’suwet’en since time immemorial.
This is the moment so many of us have feared. After over a decade of fierce resistance to the Coastal GasLink pipeline, the Wet’suwet’en need our solidarity more than ever.
Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs were denied access to the territory, and Wet’suwet’en people and supporters have been targeted for harassment and surveillance with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police doubling their presence on the Yintah over the last month.
The RCMP’s militarized backup of corporate destruction puts private profit for a few ahead of Indigenous self-determination and community safety, ruthlessly clearing the way for a fracked gas pipeline.
This violence is funded by the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC); the lead financier of the Coastal GasLink pipeline. As the shareholder of the biggest stake in Coastal GasLink RBC could stop the project at any time.
Together, we can fight massive financial institutions like RBC and stop them from funding the brutalization of Indigenous people and land. None of us can do everything; but all of us can do something – and that is exactly what it’s going to take.
Let’s show RBC, and the Canadian government, that the Wet’suwet’en don’t stand alone.
In rage and solidarity,
– the Stop the Money Pipeline team
