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 – the RCMP doubling their presence on the Yintah over the last month.

The RCMP’s militarized backup of corporate destruction puts profit for a few ahead of Indigenous self-determination and community safety, ruthlessly clearing the way for a fracked gas pipeline under Wedzin Kwa, a pure and sacred river revered by the Wet’suwet’en since time immemorial.

This violence is funded by the Royal Bank of Canada: the lead financier of the Coastal GasLink pipeline

RBC could stop the project at any time by pulling its financing. We need to ramp up the pressure and force RBC to do the right thing and defund Coastal GasLink.

Will you call the executives of RBC and urge the company to defund CGL?
