We warmly invite you to join us for a virtual petition launch and hear from our three speakers on why McGill must divest from the Coastal GasLink pipeline in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en nation.We stand with the demands of the Hereditary Chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en Nation that call upon the ceasing of construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline, the immediate withdrawal of the RCMP and associated security and police forces from Wet’suwet’en territory, and that Wet’suwet’en self-determination is honored by respecting their decisions, laws, and governance structures.Come hear from Marlene Hale from the Wet’suwet’en nation, as she describes the current situation and the need for immediate action in solidarity with the nation; from Kasim Tirmizey who will explain the links between McGill investment in the colonial and destructive pipeline; and a speaker from the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment who will detail how the ongoing construction of the pipeline has brought the pandemic into the Wet’suwet’en territory. Stefan Christoff will be moderating the event and the subsequent question period.This event will also serve to launch the petition demanding immediate divestment by McGill university from the pipeline (see petition here: http://chng.it/z5jZcbfYhZ).
