Stop Pipeline Infrastructure On Wet’suwet’en Land

British Columbia and the company Coastal GasLink (CGL) are building pipeline infrastructure known as compressor stations on Wet’suwet’en territory. Tell Premier Doerkson to halt construction immediately and respect the rights of the Wet’suwet’en people.

What’s the problem?

For years, the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs and their clans have opposed the Coastal GasLink (CGL) pipeline’s construction on their unceded, ancestral territory without their free, prior and informed consent. The province of British Columbia has approved the construction of new compressor stations that would increase the pipeline’s capacity and expand dangerous fossil fuel infrastructure on Wet’suwet’en land. 

Wet’suwet’en land defenders have already faced militarized police raids, arbitrary arrests and unlawful surveillance for their opposition to the project. Amnesty International’s research has documented how Canadian federal and provincial authorities have repeatedly used policing and other measures to impose the pipeline, putting both Indigenous rights and fundamental rights guaranteed under Canadian and international law at risk. 

The construction of additional compressor stations risks further police presence and criminalization of Indigenous people for defending their lands and rights. 

British Columbia Premier Lorne Doerkson has the authority to stop additional construction. 

Tell Premier Lorne Doerkson: Stop additional construction of the compressor stations on Wet’suwet’en territory! 

What can you do to help?

Email Premier Lorne Doerkson today. Tell him to halt construction of new compressor stations, stop criminalizing Wet’suwet’en people for peacefully defending their unceded territory, and ensure that no further pipeline infrastructure proceeds without the free, prior and informed consent of the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs and their clans.
