This Pipeline Ends Here - TWN Sacred Trust Rally
Please join the Tsleil-Waututh Nation Sacred Trust Initiative and its allies for a rally against the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion featuring Indigenous leaders from across North America. Now that construction costs have soared past $21.4 billion, the federal government has ruled out more public financing and is looking for new investors. Together, we will show them that the Indigenous-led movement to stop Trans Mountain is stronger and more determined than ever.
Tsleil-Waututh is one of many nations along the route that have never given consent for this pipeline to cross their territories. Canada cannot keep acting as if the laws that preceded it do not exist just as it cannot proceed as if climate disasters are not already wreaking havoc in our communities. Indigenous leaders from all over the continent are coming together to stand with Tsleil-Waututh against Trans Mountain — this pipeline ends here!
Join us at 11 am on Saturday, April 9 at šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl'e7énḵ (Vancouver Art Gallery) to call on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to abandon pipeline construction and to show investors that we are not going anywhere. Bring the whole family and enjoy some fun children’s activities while you hear from this powerful lineup of speakers before we all march together through the heart of downtown Vancouver’s financial district.
Speakers: To be confirmed.
