As Coastal Gas Link continues to work without consent, and bring in workers from around the country to vulnerable Northern communities we need to keep up the pressure to get CGL and RCMP off the Yintah!

Sample Script:

"Hello, I am calling out of concern for the Wet'suwet'en Nation. Your company is currently in the process of financing the Coastal GasLink Pipeline, a project slated to be built on their unceded land. As someone within KKR responsible for "sustainable" investing and environmental concerns, I urge you to stand against funding Coastal GasLink, and to demand that KKR withdraw all financial support for it. This project will and has caused immeasurable damage to the Wet'suwet'en, and I am demanding KKR to withdraw now."
