< 5 > STOP KINDER MORGAN MARCH & RALLY 
No Consent – No Pipeline 

SATURDAY November 19
Unceded Coast Salish Territory
Vancouver City Hall

Prime Minister Trudeau’s decision on Kinder Morgan is fast approaching. Now more than ever we need a show of force to show that – no matter his choice – this region will do whatever it takes to stop this pipeline.

This action is also in solidarity with Indigenous water protectors at Standing Rock as they struggle to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline.
