United Against TC Energy: Panel and Film Screening

Wet’suwet’en leaders and Mixtec, Otomi & Nahua land defenders are coming together to resist TC Energy’s pipelines on their territories.
Travelling 4000 kilometers east from Wet’suwet’en territory and north from Puebla, Hidalgo, and Veracruz, Mexico, these land defenders converged in Toronto to build their shared resistance to Canadian company TC Energy’s colonial pipeline projects!

And featuring special guest renowned Nigerian environmental justice activist Nnimmo Bassey.
