DGR Caravan to and rally for Unis'tot'en Action Camp

Donation protected
In August 2012, Deep Green Resistance activists will be converging on the Pacific Northwest to participate in a series of actions against proposed Tar Sands and Natural Gas pipelines in the land now known as British Columbia.

In solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en and Unis'tot'en First Nations, we say "NO PIPELINES!"

We will be traveling up the west coast holding public events to build opposition to these genocidal and ecocidal pipelines and gather donations of food, blankets, money, and other supplies, and then attending the 3rd annual Unis'tot'en Action Camp August 6th-10th.

Tour Stops:
July 25th - Eugene
July 26th - Bend
July 27th or 28th - Portland
July 29th - Olympia
July 30th - Seattle
August 1st - Bellingham
August 3rd - Vancouver

Please donate to support our speaking tour! Extra funds will go to the indigenous resistors of the Unis'tot'en Action Camp. More information about the speaking tour dates and locations will be released soon on our website, Facebook, and twitter:

Description of the camp from the Unis'tot'en Camp website:

"The 3rd Annual Unis'tot'en Action Camp will see a lot of activities around building solidarity and campaign and action planning for communities who will stop the proposed and approved pipelines and mining projects that are unwelcome in the north of Unceded Occupied so called bc and canada.

The camp dates are August 6 "“ 10, 2012. Registration for delegations and individuals will soon follow this posting.

The camp location is at 66km on the Morice River West FSR and is at the shore of the Wedzin Kwah and mouth of the Gosnell Creek. These are all tributary to the the Skeena, Bulkley, and Babine Rivers. The proposed pipelines from Northern Gateway, Kitimat Summit Lake Looping Project, and the Pembina and Kinder Morgan Pipelines seek to cross the rivers at the exact point where the resistance camp is built in Unis'tot'en Territory of Talbits Kwah.


The Lhe Lin Liyin, along with other strong uncompromising allies will stop this destructive path, for the future generations, for the biodiversity, and for solidarity with our neighbours living amidst the heavy impacts in the Tar Sands Affected areas in Northern Alberta, and regions heavily affected by Fracking Natural Gas and Shale Oil, as well as communities impacted by Refineries, Pipelines, and  Fuel Terminals and Port Expansions.


The 3rd Annual Unis'tot'en Action Camp registration and list of items, and calendar will be available on this page soon. When it is available the update will be sent on twitter, facebook, and emails. For more information on the camp please telephone Freda Huson at 250 847 8897 and email at [email redacted].

Thank you for your interest in the 3rd Annual Unis'tot'en Action Camp! Talk to you very soon."



ABOUT THE PIPELINES :

(from https://unistotencamp.wordpress.com/no-pipelines/)


Four Companies proposed what they call the "Energy Corridor" to cross Wet'suwet'en Territories; with a total of seven pipelines from Bruderheim to Kitimat, and from Summit Lake to Kitimat. Three companies, Kinder Morgan, Pembina Pipelines, and Endbridge Inc. each propose dual pipelines to transport not only dirty bitumen, but also condensate as a diluent (along with the cocktail of heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and poisons from the extraction and slurry process to turn solid bitumen rock into flowing mock oil). One of the four companies' projects, formerly owned by Pacific Northern Gas (now 40% owned by Apache Corporation, 30% by EOG Resources [formerly Enron], and 30% by EnCana) seeks to transport through a 36"³ diameter bidirectional pipeline to transport Fracturing Project Natural Gas from the Horn River Basin. Fracturing Projects have many disastrous qualities (for lack of a better word) to it and the pollution is the problem with this pipeline. Natural Gas from Fracking projects are 80 % more carbon intensive than conventional natural gas. So it is worse that what was once abundant.


The Grassroots Wet'suwet'en will stop all pipelines by any means necessary. In solidarity with nations also opposing pipelines in their territories, we do not take any "Not In My Back Yard" [N.I.M.B.Y. = equals weak arguments] approaches in our strong stance against poisoning waters for money and greed. We stand beside communities in all directions taking action to stop the pipelines that exist, that are proposed or approved to expand, or proposed pipelines projects awaiting approvals.


We understand that the seven proposed pipelines represents a total number of SuperTankers, meaning that the combined effort of seven pipelines means approximation of up to 1500 SuperTankers embarking and landing along the coast every year. We could say good by to biodiversity and our relationship (not ownership) with the lifeforce that is the West Coast.
