PAST EVENT
Citizens across BC are pulling together to help First Nations lawsuits stop pipeline and tanker projects. We are raising money and having fun!
On the same day that we learned we defeated Enbridge, we saw our Prime Minister Trudeau approve the Kinder Morgan pipeline. The plan — to bring tar sands oil across BC and through Vancouver harbour, increasing oil tanker traffic by 400%— was approved despite evidence and clear opposition from First Nations, municipalities and a majority of British Columbians.
Just like with Enbridge, we won’t let this get built. Together with RAVEN, Sierra Club BC and the Force of Nature Alliance, we launched Pull Together on Kinder Morgan, using the same community fundraising strategy that won last time. Pull Together is a tangible way individuals, communities and businesses can provide financial support to First Nations legal cases and moral support to everyone on the front lines against this project.
Pull Together for Climate Justice: An afternoon of inspiration and action against Kinder Morgan’s pipeline and tankers project in Solidarity with Indigenous Land & Water Protectors. Hear from powerful leaders protecting the water, lands, and climate. This event was a fundraiser for Tsleil Waututh and Coldwater First Nations legal challenges to Kinder Morgan.
