Week of Solidarity Actions October 9 – October 16
All Out for Wedzin Kwa!
Since September 25, Wet’suwet’en members of Cas Yikh and their supporters have taken control of a Coastal GasLink drill site on unceded Cas Yikh (Grizzly House) territory belonging to the Gidimt’en clan of the Wet’suwet’en people. They are defending culturally significant archeological sites and the sacred headwaters of the Wedzin Kwa from destruction.
In response, the RCMP has utilized excessive force and torturous pain compliance against the land defenders, and more RCMP enforcement is expected.
The Cas Yikh of the Gidimt’en Clan has called for an international week of actions as part of mobilization for their biggest battle yet to protect their sacred headwaters, the Wedzin Kwa. The Wet’suwet’en have remained steadfast in their fight for self-determination. All out to stand with the Wet’suwet’en — join actions in your area or organize one of your own and post it in the discussion on the events page so it can be added to the list. On social media use the hashtag #AllOutForWedzinKwa.
