» More information
This Tuesday, November 27th, communities from coast to coast are taking action in solidarity with the Unis’tot’en and grassroots Wet'suwet'en, to reaffirm and amplify the message that no proposed pipelines will proceed on their territories!
No to PTP! No to all pipelines on Unis'tot'en land!
No to PTP! No to all pipelines on Unis'tot'en land!
On November 20th, Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chief Toghestiy intercepted and issued an eagle feather to surveyors from the Can-Am Geomatics company who were working for Apache’s proposed natural gas Pacific Trails Pipel...
ine (PTP). In Wet’suwet’en law, an eagle feather is used as a first and only notice of trespass. The surveyors were ordered to leave the territory and the road leading into the territory has been closed to all industry activities. The Unist’ot’en are against all pipelines slated to cross through their territories, which include Enbridge Northern Gateway, Kinder Morgans northern proposal, Pembina, Spectra, and Pacific Trails Pipelines.
The Unis’tot’en are now calling for solidarity and support actions to get the message out loud and clear to corporations, investors, and government that they have no right or jurisdiction to approve development on Unist’ot’en lands.
So this Tuesday, November 27th, on unceded Algonquin territory, join in solidarity and resistance with Unist'ot'en in front of the PMO (Wellington and Elgin). Let's tell them that we support Unist'ot'en and grassroots Wet'suwet'en and say no to all pipelines slated for their territories!
Bring banners, signs, noisemakers to make our voices loud and clear and reaffirm our solidarity with Unis'tot'en!
Invite friends and allies and help spread the word!
Let us know asap if you can help support and organize:
