It's a based org, look into it. If you didn't hear, this past spring Indigenous people, and settlers in solidarity, came together to #shutdowncanada in solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en nation in its struggle against illegal pipeline developments on their unceded territories.

The trains and ports were shut down for over a month by badass land defenders standing on the tracks across the entire country. It caused significant economic damage, and was the only topic of conversation in canada back around March. Finally, the canadian government came to a landmark Memorandum of Understanding with the Wet'suwet'en about what rights the Wet'suwet'en traditional government still has on their unceded territories, just as they have maintained for thousands of years. If covid didn't happen, who knows what kind of shit people might've gotten up to.

It's all super fucking based, is what I'm getting at. The Wet'suwet'en kick ass, and land defenders there have been occupying the land in the path of potential pipelines for a decade now, and are directly responsible for choking out the oil sands, which, if you didn't know, are the biggest industrial project in the history of the earth, and probably the most destructive as well.

They can't pipe oil to the coast, they can't keep producing the dirtiest oil on earth. And it's working.

Anyway, the Wet'suwet'en are just one of the peoples represented by the Raven Trust, so feel free to check them out if you want to learn more about badass Indigenous peoples defending the land and the air and the water for all of us. And, of course, if you have some spare money, consider donating.

The on-the-ground actions are ongoing, so if you can support with money or your presence that's great too. But the court actions are also ongoing, and it takes all fronts for rights to be fought for, and won.
