January 18 – 2 important updates: Our original post is below, in case you want to check back on your local event or invite friends to join us. Late last year, our movement and our world lost Joye Braun, a true warrior for climate justice and a force of nature. In her honor, we are …
For five years, TC Energy (formally Trans Canada), the same company behind the KeystoneXL pipeline, has been trying to build the Coastal GasLink pipeline on sovereign Wet’suwet’en land.
