 Join us Saturday November 19th at noon at Vancouver's City Hall to raise our voices against Kinder Morgan.

Everything has changed since last week and we have a real opportunity to stop Kinder Morgan's pipeline and tanker project by showing the depth of opposition to it here in BC.

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip will lead us all in a pledge to resist the pipeline and the Prime Minister will hear our voices. #StopKM #NoTankers

We are in solidarity with Indigenous water protectors at Standing Rock as they struggle to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline.
