Pray that the solidarity actions happening across the country this week will have an impact
I witnessed how the law, our government, and industry continue to reinforce colonization.
For now, the Wedzin Kwa runs clear. Its waters are safe to drink and support recovering populations of sockeye, Chinook and Coho salmon. Grizzly bears and black bears fish from its banks, as do the Wet’suwet’en people.
Pray for Mother Earth as she is pillaged and plundered for resource extraction.
We urge the government to move forward on its commitment to reconciliation with Indigenous Nations.
Today as we arrive in Wet’suwet’en Territory, we join the Wet’suwet’en Land Defenders and demand an end to the CGL Pipeline and the state violence that accompanies it.
“This is Gidimt’en territory! Get off our land!”
