La Planète s'invite au Parlement tient à souligner la bravoure et la dignité du clan Unist’ot’en et de la Première Nation des Wet’suwet’en, en Colombie-Britanique, qui résistent pour protéger la Terre et ses espèces ainsi que les droits des Premiers Peuples en vertu de la Déclaration des Nations Unies sur les Droits des Peuples Autochtones.

La GRC a averti qu’elle agirait de façon imminente pour enlever les Wet’suwet’en de force à leur territoire non cédé pour que TransCanada puisse l’exploiter. Il s’agit d’un acte illégal et immoral. Le clan Unist’ot’en et leurs frères et sœurs Wet’suwet’en sont pour nous un exemple de courage.

Pour de plus amples informations, nous vous invitons à suivre Unist'ot'en Camp (en anglais).

Pour démontrer votre solidarité avec le clan Unist’ot’en, il est possible de remplir le formulaire dont le lien est donné en commentaires.
Courage! Nous sommes avec vous. ✊✊🏾
