Water Defenders: A Movie Screening & at Wet'suwet'en

Please donate to support Wet'suwet'en land defenders. For years, Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs have been saying “no” to a 670-kilometre pipeline, being proposed to run through Indigenous lands. RCMP officers are forcefully removing Hereditary Chiefs, Wet’suwet’en land defenders, and supporters from their own land. For more information on the conflict, please click here.
