We deplore the Canadian government\u2019s actions to undermine and delegitimize the rightful authority that the Hereditary Chiefs of Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en hold over their traditional territory. These ongoing attacks are a direct result of the Canadian government\u2019s colonial project of cultural genocide against Indigenous peoples.<\/p>\n<p>We also denounce the unlawful arrest of two trans women of colour, who were held on the men&#8217;s side of the prison despite their wishes. This institutionalized form of transphobia is intertwined with colonization and the efforts to delegitimize BIPOC trans people\u2019s sense of self.<\/p>\n<p>We are in solidarity with Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en land defenders and their supporters who are protecting their right to sovereignty. We urge you to listen to the voices of those on the front lines by visiting the links below, and to share these resources with your networks. If you are able to do so, please consider donating to the Legal Defense Fund (linked to below) to help support land defenders and supporters who are wrongfully arrested by the RCMP.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Ways to support<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Primary Sources<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=25a688c826&amp;e=2b722f701d\">Violent RCMP Raid on Unarmed Gidimt&#8217;en Checkpoint<\/a> (CW: Police Violence)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=64868fa3a4&amp;e=2b722f701d\">Press Release<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Resources<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=286ee240da&amp;e=2b722f701d\">Upcoming Wet&#8217;suwet&#8217;en solidarity actions<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=4d48a46951&amp;e=2b722f701d\">Legal Defense Fund<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Additional Educational Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=170f078258&amp;e=2b722f701d\">Get Your Boots on the Ground: Enforcing Wet&#8217;suwet&#8217;en Law, Day 50<\/a> (Nov. 14)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=5b3a18cf22&amp;e=2b722f701d\">Gidimten Takes Land Back!<\/a> (Nov. 16)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=f22a10f1f3&amp;e=2b722f701d\">RCMP denying medication for Wet&#8217;suwet&#8217;en elders<\/a> (Nov. 17)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=bffed9caa0&amp;e=2b722f701d\">As RCMP build up begins, Sleydo&#8217; addresses supporters<\/a> (Nov. 18)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=2048cd29c9&amp;e=2b722f701d\">Chief Woos: We mean no harm to anyone<\/a> (Nov. 18)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Social Media and Contact Info <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=bc08ee888a&amp;e=2b722f701d\">Website<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">IG: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=2583697ea9&amp;e=2b722f701d\">@yintah_access<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=b1a96f405e&amp;e=2b722f701d\">@Gidimten<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=54a2a09b98&amp;e=2b722f701d\">@wetsuwetenstrong<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Youtube: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=ba9772c202&amp;e=2b722f701d\">Gidimten Access Point\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">TikTok: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=93ac76f09e3a4665fcefc45ab&amp;id=3c597d142b&amp;e=2b722f701d\">GidimtenCheckpoint<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Transgender Media Lab condemns the RCMP\u2019s brutal militarized attacks against Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en land defenders who are protecting sacred headwaters from TC Energy\u2019s illegal efforts to run the Coastal Gaslink pipeline through the unceded territory of Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en.
