FOOD FOR OUR FUTURE!
SITE C & LNG are NOT climate solutions!

Please join us at the BC Supreme Court
on Friday, June 7, 12:30 to 2 pm to uphold our responsibilities to protect the land and water


We understand that EVERYONE needs to protect Northern lands. From the rich farmlands and forests of the Peace Valley (BC’s northern breadbasket) to the hunting grounds of the Wet’suwet’en people, food security matters. Healthy watersheds mean healthy futures.

We stand in solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en people protecting the Wedzin Kwa (Morice River) where the Unist'ot'en Healing Centre is, and with the Dunne Za and Cree people protecting the Peace River, whose life is threatened by the Site C dam. Natural laws and the Indigenous people of the land must be respected. Both rivers are threatened by toxic fracking, whether by pipeline for greenwashed "LNG" or by damming to massively subsidize irresponsible fracking.

We urge the provincial and federal governments uphold their responsibilities to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and ‘Anuc niwh’it’en (Wet’suwet’en law).

As the Unist'ot'en say, "Heal the people, heal the land." See https://unistoten.camp/ for more info. The Wet'suwet'en people are standing up for Indigenous law and international law against unjust colonial trespass and violation.

The UN's Committee on Racism has asked Canada to stop the Site C dam because it violates an international convention to eliminate racism. The Peace River has suffered previous dams (WAC Bennett dam and Peace Canyon dam) that devastated the land, life & people. No one can afford to lose the last intact section of the Peace River, the sacred Peace Valley, to the destructive Site C mega dam. There are strong economic, environmental & ethical reasons to stop this destructive, over-priced mega dam NOW. It's not too late to stop the dam; better alternatives exist like community-based wind & solar. For more info see https://witnessforthepeace.ca/the-latest/

See you on the streets! Please invite your friends!

FightC is a non-partisan, non-violent community group committed to stopping the Site C dam in solidarity with the Treaty 8 First Nations. We work to raise awareness and engagement on the violation of First Nations Treaty Rights, as well as the eviction of farmers, the destruction of farmland, the threat to food security, and the long term financial implications of the dam. Let’s not wait till your Hydro bills skyrocket - let’s expose the dam for the disaster it is & strive for the Vision of the Valley we need - Peace Valley Forever!

As a group predominantly based out of Vancouver, British Columbia, we acknowledge we are on the unceded, occupied, ancestral and traditional lands of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We voice our gratitude and respect for the peoples of this land, and work to be good relatives.
