Online Action and Rally: KKR and Chase, Defund Coastal GasLink!

Over 222,000 people in the U.S. have joined in the fight with the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs by signing a petition to demand KKR & Co and JP Morgan Chase drop any investments in the Coastal GasLink pipeline project in Northern British Columbia. Now, it’s time to deliver all those powerful voices!

The Coastal GasLink pipeline threatens Wet’suwet’en land, water, air, and people. Yet, over the past five years, TC Energy (formally Trans Canada) has tried to build the Coastal GasLink pipeline on Wet’suwet’en land, defiantly ignoring the hereditary chiefs’ rights and title.

Despite the COVID-19 crisis, TC Energy is still going ahead with Coastal GasLink pipeline construction and sending workers into “man camps” and federal police officers onto Wet’suwet’en territories, putting communities at even more risk.

KKR and JP Morgan Chase, two of the pipeline’s biggest investors, must be held accountable for ignoring the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs, putting the Wet’suwet’en land and water at risk, endangering Indigenous women by building man camps along the route, and fueling the climate crisis.

While the COVID-19 pandemic may keep us from gathering in the streets, it cannot stop the movement of defiant and uncompromising #WetsuwetenStrong support. Let’s seize the moment and show up for the Wet’suwet’en people.

Join us for a virtual rally and online day of action to #ShutDownKKR on May 7th and let’s stop the Coastal GasLink Pipeline!
