Written earlier today:
Not surprisingly the events in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en peoples are raising up the diverse dangers of colonial capitalism and an extractive, fossil fuel based society.
In several postings there a pictures of red dresses. If you’re not familiar, they represent the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW). This happens when “man camps” of workers on pipelines prey on Native women. Part of the problem is tribal police haven’t had jurisdiction over White men who commit crimes on Native lands.
A post below strikes at the financial institutions the greatly profit by funding fossil fuel projects. Divestment from banks the fund fossil fuel projects has been a global phenomenon for years.
In 2016 a group of Native and nonnative people marched to the CHASE and PNC banks in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, and stood in silence as people with accounts went inside to close them. Among us $110,000 was withdrawn on that single day.
Other oppressed peoples stand in solidarity. There is a post about Muslims supporting the Wet’suwet’en peoples.

There’s a significant traffic backup on the Inland Island Highway this morning.
The Comox Valley RCMP has confirmed protests in support of the Wet’suwet’en are happening.
One is on Highway 19 southbound between Minto Road and Comox Valley Parkway. The ramp has been closed and a detour is in place.
The other is on Highway 19 northbound between Buckley Bay Road and Van West Logging Road 15 km south of Cumberland. A detour is in place there as well.
The RCMP was not able to say how long the protests are expected to last this morning. We’ll have more details as they become available.
Last Thursday, the RCMP began enforcing a court injunction and arresting Wet’suwet’en protesters opposed to the Coastal GasLink project in northern British Columbia.

If you’re a Muslim and you’re pro Palestine, you need to get out and support the Wet’suwet’en nation!
We need more Muslims standing up for justice! Just like our Palestinian family, our Wet’suwet’en family’s land is being illegally trespassed and the RCMP is arresting land protectors and warriors. This is not a joke. This is not reconciliation. When Indigenous people say you cannot come onto our land, the government has to listen and respect that! This is not our land. We are colonizers and settlers!
