Gitxsan Land Defenders are at the front lines of resistance to this project, so we will share actions and resources to support them at this event. You can donate to the Lax’yip Firekeepers (firekeepers @ laxyip. com) and to Wet’suwet’en allies (donorbox .org/uphold-land-defenders). NO PRGT PIPELINE ON GITXSAN LAX’YIP.

More information: An alarming wave of legislation, including federal Bill C-5, has rolled back environmental rights and bypasses Indigenous consent on “projects of national interest”. The Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) pipeline and its associated LNG terminal, Ksi Lisims, is among multiple new LNG projects in so-called BC which have recently been approved— BUT these projects have yet to be financed.

Our demands: UBC students are calling upon Canada’s big 5 banks (RBC, TD, CIBC, BMO and Scotiabank) to refuse to finance the PRGT Pipeline and Ksi Lisims LNG on Indigenous lands. Big banks provide financial support for fossil fuel expansion, the dispossession of Indigenous people, and gen0c!de. Until they commit to divesting completely from LNG, cut their ties with fossil fuels and with the war industry, we say: BIG BANKS HAVE NO SPACE ON OUR CAMPUS.
