Victoria March 29-31 & Vancouver April 4-6

Strategies for Solidarity and Action, Coast Salish Territory

We're answering the call for action against pipelines. On March 29, 30, and 31, share and learn about strategic planning, solidarity, and action preparation.

March 29-31 in Victoria, meet the people on the frontlines against pipelines - people with the courage to go beyond protesting and petitioning. We are sharing stories about how strategies for resistance and solidarity are winning. Discussions, skill-shares and networking. By donation.

How do ordinary people find the strength to turn back big corporations? On every continent, popular movements have overturned repression and put the boots to bad businesses. Now it's our turn. It takes unity to block a pipeline. It takes a community to turn back an oil tanker.

We are creative, determined, and compelled by a love of the land. We can use those strengths to beat the oil companies. Come hear first-hand how we're bringing our diverse talents together to defend the land and water.

Saturday, 8:30 am - Kick off the Spring Training weekend with PANCAKES NOT PIPELINES at UVic's Bob Wright Centre for Ocean and Earth Science (map)

Unis'tot'en Resistance to Pipelines

Four years ago, members of the Unis'tot'en clan of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation set out to block three pipeline projects planned to cross their land north of Prince George BC. The combined right-of-way is three kilometers wide. The Unis'tot'en and other clans do not consent to this destructive use of their land. That's why they built Unis'tot'en Camp in the middle of the pipeline route.
