Stand with the Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs

RCMP invading Wet'suwet'en territory with the text why is RBC financing this?

On February 25, Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs met with the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) to demand the bank to withdraw financing for the Coastal GasLink pipeline – a 670 kilometre fracked gas pipeline bulldozing through Wet'suwet'en territory in British Columbia, Canada.

This landmark meeting was the first time RBC has met with the Wet'suwet'en who have been resisting the fracked gas pipeline for more than a decade.

At the meeting, the Hereditary Chiefs issued the following demands to RBC:

Revoke financing of the Coastal GasLink pipeline, including current loans;
Do not provide a penny more for Coastal GasLink, including no new loan arrangements or financial services of any kind.

RBC has until April 7, the day of their Annual General Meeting where they report their profits to shareholders, to defund the Coastal GasLink pipeline. It's time for RBC to live up to its commitments to Reconciliation and promises about climate action. Send a message to David McKay and urge him to stop financing the Coastal GasLink pipeline.

Stand with the Hereditary Chiefs and add your voice to their demand to RBC -- defund Coastal GasLink now!

Dear Mr. {contact_data~lastName},

I am writing to you today in support of the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs and I urge you to leverage your power as the CEO of Canada’s largest bank and stop financing the Coastal GasLink pipeline. 
RBC must revoke the financing of the pipeline, including current loans and not provide a penny more for the Coastal GasLink project. 
The Hereditary Chiefs have demanded that you do this by April 7, 2022; the day of your Annual General Meeting. People from around the world are standing in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en as they resist the Coastal GasLink pipeline and protect their lands. 
RBC pulling all of its financing from the Coastal GasLink would be aligned with your bank’s commitments to reconciliation – especially since RBC is the official sponsor of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation week. You cannot be supportive of reconciliation while providing critical investments and financing for a fracked gas pipeline going through unceded Wet'suwet'en territory without their consent.
The world stands behind the Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs’ demands and I hope you will do the right thing and divest. 
I look forward to seeing RBC’s divestment from the Coastal GasLink pipeline.

Sincerely,
{user_data~First Name} {user_data~Last Name}
