Students from the UBC Social Justice Centre are calling on EVERYONE to stand in solidarity with the land defenders in Elsipogtog. An injunction has been issued by the New Brunswick provincial court which effectively denies Elsipogtog and their supporters their right as Canadian citizens to protest.

On a cold and overcast morning, approximately 50 people gathered outside the RCMP station at the University of BC in Vancouver to denounce the RCMP assaults on Mi'kmaq in New Brunswick and to stand in solidarity with the struggle against fracking. Members of the Musqueam nation, along with UBC students and anarchists from East Vancouver, participated in the rally.

First Nations are legally entitled to self-determination. The Canadian government is deploying the RCMP to protect corporate interests on unceded Native land, ignoring the rights of Indigenous communities and Canadians right to protest.

Begins at 11:00AM at Point Grey RCMP station (2990 Westbrook Mall, near 16th Ave).

Ends at McInnes Field at 12:30PM
