For the second time in just two weeks, Swedish climate activist Greta
Thunberg has spoken publicly about the Wet’suwet’en solidarity protests
<https://globalnews.ca/news/6560125/timeline-wetsuweten-pipeline-protests/> in
Canada. Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, the 17-year-old shared her support
for the cause, urging her followers to do the same. Thunberg also shared a
“Wet’suwet’en supporter toolkit,” which provides information about how to
get involved in the pipeline protests.

Greta Thunberg has taken to Twitter once again to share her opinion about
the ongoing Coastal GasLink protests
<https://www.narcity.com/news/ca/on/toronto/go-train-rail-blockade-leads-to-some-cancellations-as-protests-continue>
that
are taking place across Canada.

In a tweet <https://twitter.com/GretaThunberg/status/1229710407637532672> early
on Tuesday morning, the young activist shared a “Wet’suwet’en supporter
toolkit” with her 4 million followers, which gives information about how
people can get involved with the solidarity demonstrations.

Thunberg added the message, “Support the Wet’suwet’en Nation and the
pipeline protests happening now in Canada! #WetsuwenStrong.”

Her post comes as marches and blockades continue to disrupt rail services
across the country, and as tensions continue to rise
<https://globalnews.ca/news/6558170/wetsuweten-protests-canada-update/> between
activists and the Canadian Government.

Last week, Wet’suwet’en supporters promised that they are "not going
anywhere,”
<https://www.narcity.com/news/ca/on/railway-blockades-in-canada-continue-as-protestors-say-theyre-not-going-anywhere>
despite
demonstrating in conditions of -24 C.

Just hours after it was posted, Thunberg's tweet had more than 1,500
retweets and 5,000 likes.

The toolkit <http://unistoten.camp/supportertoolkit2020/> that was shared
as part of Thunberg’s tweet provides information about how people from
across the globe can get involved in the Canadian solidarity protests.

Advice includes visiting the region to help protestors, fundraising for
legal costs, contacting the Canadian Parliament to demand action, and
signing pledges.

The website also has a wishlist page,
<http://unistoten.camp/support-us/wishlist-needslist/> where organizers can
tell supporters what supplies they are in need of.

This isn’t the first time that Thunberg has spoken out about the pipeline
activism that’s happening in Canada.

Earlier this month, the 17-year-old took to Twitter
<https://www.narcity.com/news/ca/bc/bcs-wetsuweten-protests-have-received-support-from-greta-thunberg>
to
make her opinion on the matter known.

Retweeting a post from a Vancouver-based climate activist, Thunberg wrote,
"Indigenous rights = Climate justice."

She added the hashtags "#WetsuwetenStrong” and “#KeepItInTheGround."

The Indigenous nation has been opposing the new Coastal GasLink pipeline
since last year.

Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs say they have not given their consent to the
construction project, and they have accused the company of violating
traditional laws
<https://globalnews.ca/news/6517089/wetsuweten-bc-pipeline-protests/>.

In a press release
<http://www.wetsuweten.com/files/Media_Release_Feb._6,_2020_-_CGL.pdf> earlier
this month, they explained, “The Dinï ze’ and Ts’akë ze’ [the hereditary
chiefs] continue to resist colonial and gendered violence against
Wet’suwet’en people, and to protect Wet’suwet’en lands for future
generations.”
