A quick call to action

[sabotabby]

Five Land Defenders have been arrested in an RCMP raid on Wet'suwet'en territory. Here is a quick action that anyone can do: Call either a police station or a member of the BC NDP* to demand their release immediately.

Now, you may be a young GenX/old Millennial like me and absolutely detest using the phone. That is okay! These bastards have been getting phone calls all day and it's now after hours, so it's almost guaranteed that if you call them, it will go straight to voicemail and you won't have to talk to a person. There's a convenient script that you can follow, even if you're not good at saying things on the phone. It's easy.

Remember, Wet'suwet'en Land Defenders are fighting not just to defend their territory, but for all of our futures.

Call now. Let's free the Land Defenders and stop the RCMP raid on Gidimt’en Checkpoint.



* Yes, the so-called progressive party is trying to run a pipeline through unceded Indigenous land. You're not really that surprised, are you?

curious about this as well - never sure if a us-ian calling in is helping or potentially damaging ('outside agitators' etc)

This is a public pressure campaign, so international attention is welcome.

I managed a couple of calls, not seven or eight, but some is better than zero. It turned out that the script they give has "My name is" but not "I'm calling from $place," though it did ask for my zip/postal code.

It's helpful. Canada cares a lot about its international reputation.
