Hereditary Cheifs traveling to Mohawk Blockade Tomorrow

"We're not going to talk with guns pointed at our heads." -Chief Woos ...
While Trudeau and Parliament held talks today about the ongoing rail blockades and Trudeau called for "dialogue" Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs made clear that for meaningful talks to take place the RCMP need to leave their territory. Chief Woos told CBC "We're not going to talk with guns pointed at our heads." A delegation of Wet'suwet'en Chiefs are on the road to Mohawk territory today to thank the communities holding down the rail blockades in solidarity with their demands.
With the BC and Federal government refusing to meet the demands of the Hereditary chiefs, the need for solidarity action and pressure continues. Find an action near you or organize one and post it here:

"'We're Not Going to Talk with Guns Pointed at our Heads': Cheif Woos"
Yesterday Chief Woos, who's territory is where the violent RCMP raid on the Gidemt'en Checkpoint gook place, spoke to CBC about the current situation.
"the Minister is basically blowing air right now as far as were concerned. he put on his website that he was going to talk with the Wet'suwet'en chiefs in regards to Wiggus. on February 3ird and 4th he sent Scott Fraser to Smithers to talk to us. we were still open to that so we started talking to Scott, started to explain to him what Wiggus was and is and keeping in mind that we said Mr. Horgan you need to come and be part of this, instead he sent Scott Fraser with the stated attempt for us to agree to an access agreement for CGL which failed. We didn't want that. With that CGL turned around and said to the police enforce the injunction and BC walked away."
"We're prepared to talk but we don't want the RCMP in our territory."
"As far as the economy and what is happening across the country... You see indigenous groups, the indigenous organizations out there. We're facing third world situations all on account of your rule of law that is not being correctly handled by all governments."
"If we're going to be alongside the majority of Canadian's as First Nations the first things that happens is Respect. Respect is the first thing that must happen."

Rail Blockade outside of Edmonton that went up this morning calling for support.

UPDATED ACTION EVENT PAGE
As RCMP remain on Wet'suwet'en Territory the call for solidarity actions continues!
There is still an extreme RCMP presence on Wet’suwet’en land. We expect them to heavily guard and facilitate CGL access to unceded territories without Free, Prior and Informed consent from the Hereditary Chiefs. The eviction notice to CGL given on January 4th, 2020 still stands and will continue to be enforced with the full power and jurisdiction under Wet’suwet’en law.
We encourage all supporters to stand strong in solidarity with this struggle. It is far from over.

FRIDAYS FOR WET'SUWET'EN
SET UP MEETINGS WITH YOUR MLA UNTIL DEMANDS ARE MET
We need to use all the tactics at our disposal. In addition to office occupations we can fill up MLA's meeting time and educate them on the Wet'suwete'n struggle until they take action.
MLA's are open to meet with constituents on Fridays. Call them and book meetings every Friday until the demands of the Hereditary Chiefs are met.
Use this guide to set up your meeting and prepare to talk to your MLA.
While one MLA cannot remove the RCMP unilaterally they can all speak publicly and pressure their government to do the right thing!
