Council of Canadians supporters and chapter activists have been taking part in solidarity actions from coast to coast to coast, and there are many more planned. Find an upcoming event near you here, and find more ways to stand in solidarity via the Wet’suwet’en Strong Supporter Toolkit that has been released.
Billie Pierre of Nlaka’pamux Nation summed up the importance of such actions in a recent article for Media Co-op: “For the time being, the Unist’ot’en are allowing TransCanada workers to cross their bridge. But demonstrations and actions across Canada and around the world in support of the Wet’suwet’en — which has put the RCMP directly in the spotlight – continue. Without strong public support, would the RCMP have continued to block the flow of people entering Gidumt’en and Unist’ot’en? Maybe there would be no updates from Unist’ot’en, and maybe TransCanada would have had more room to bend a rule or two and do work that they haven’t received government approval to do.”
Here are some highlights from some of the solidarity events to date to get you inspired to take action: #bcpoli
