Urgent Fundraiser for Indigenous Anti-Pipeline Struggle

Past event
Jan 31, 2020, 7 to 9 PM

This Friday!
Heal the People, Heal the Land

Support Wet'suwet'en sovereignty and pipeline resistance!
Join us for a coffeehouse fundraiser featuring a short documentary screening and update about this resistance on unceded Indigenous territory. For over a decade, Wet'suwet'en peoples have opposed pipelines carrying tar sands and fracked gas through their unceded Wet'suwet'en territories.
Earlier this month, Wet'suwet'en Access Point camp on Gidimt'en territory and Unist'ot'en camp called for a week of solidarity actions after the state and corporations amped up their reckless push to build these pipelines by filing a court injuction against the resistance camps. A heavily militarized police force is now gathering in the area and these resistance camps are now facing an imminent raid with the threat of being violently evicted from their lands. The situation is developing rapidly, and the time for solidarity is NOW!

We will have hot beverages and treats, plus zines and other literature.

Details:
Friday January 31st
7-9pm
Unitarian Church, 130 Main St. Montpelier
Suggested donation $10-20, no one turned away.
