Since February 6th, when the RCMP began raiding Indigenous Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en lands<\/a>, solidarity protests, marches, blockades and occupations have sprung up from coast-to-coast-to-coast.<\/p>\n\n

They show no signs of letting up \u2014 even in the face of escalating police action. The federal and B.C. governments’ apparent refusal to act in a way that would peacefully resolve this situation is distressing, since it is well within their reach.<\/p>\n\n

Escalating solidarity events and police action<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Tonight our team went down to the #Tyendinaga<\/a> rail blockade to bear witness as OPP moved in to forcibly remove & arrest peaceful protectors.

This is the moment the first train passed.

This has only fuelled #WetsuwetenSolidarity<\/a> actions across the country. Keep supporting \u270a pic.twitter.com\/wr2Og8Kvqm<\/a><\/p>— Greenpeace Canada (@GreenpeaceCA) February 25, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>
