Court Support - Stand with Will!

 
Public Anyone on or off Facebook
 
Please join us at the BC Supreme Court to support courageous land defender Will George from Tsleil Waututh, at 1:30 PM on Tues Jan 24. Will has to turn himself in to the court at 9 am at the 800 Smithe entrance, and his appeal will be heard in the BC Court of Appeal at 2 PM that day.
Even though the TransMountain pipeline had supposedly halted expansion construction from Dec 16, 2020 to the end of January, 2021, Will was nonetheless convicted for violating the TMX injunction in Jan 2021, and sentenced to jail.
The Crown continues its long history of systemic racism and colonial violence, as it tries to separate Indigenous people from their land. The Crown is supposed to represent the public interest, but instead is effectively acting as a puppet for the pipeline and wilfully ignoring that stopping or slowing down climate crisis is absolutely in the public interest.
This pipeline expansion is a crime against humanity, foreclosing our children's futures.
We are deeply grateful for our Coast Salish relatives, on whose unceded lands we are living. We all have a responsibility to build better relations with this land, its original people and the life the land sustains.
