HOW TO STOP A PIPELINE: THE UNIST'OT'EN CAMP
Lawyer,
writer, and grass roots activist Will Falk went to the Unist'ot'en Camp
earlier this year to support the pipeline blockade on the territory of
the Unist'ot'en Clan of the Wet'suwet'en people. Join us next Thursday
evening, Dec. 11, to watch a short video, hear about his experiences
there, and join a lively discussion of this important struggle.
The Unist'ot'en Camp sits directly on the paths of 18
proposed fossil fuel pipelines that would carry fracked oil and fracked
natural gas from the Fort
McMurray tar sands to the BC coast, where it would be shipped to burn in markets worldwide. These pipelines are one part of tar sands "development," the largest, most destructive project on earth.
Falk will
discuss the importance of supporting First Nations' sovereignty, the
strategic value of beating the pipelines in so-called British Columbia,
and the effectiveness of direct action tactics employed there in
stopping fossil fuels.
