<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Greetings again friends, </p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">We are writing now at the
request of student organizers who are part of the
Divestment & Beyond coalition, to share information
about a student walkout taking place across the country
in solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en. You have likely
heard about a tentative agreement that may address some
of the larger issues around Indigenous rights and
jurisdiction in the works, yet there is still much to be
addressed and there has been a

direct call from the Wet'suwet'en to keep up the
pressure</a> through solidarity actions. Details are
below. </p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Many thanks!</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">---</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Hello, </p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">We hope this email finds you
well. We are a coalition of student organizers,
including members from Leap U of T, Climate Justice
Toronto and the Indigenous Law Students’ Association.
Along with thousands of people of conscience across
so-called Canada, we have been shocked and appalled by
the behaviour of the RCMP and the BC and Canadian
governments in response to the Wet’suwet’en Nation’s
peaceful fight against a pipeline on their unceded
territory. </p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">We know that many of you have
taken action in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en
hereditary chiefs through a variety of ways. As
students, we thank you for the example you have set for
us, and for the valuable education you have provided to
your classes and mentees. </p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">As long as the RCMP remain on
Wet’suwet’en territory, and as long as the hereditary
chiefs call for allies to keep up the pressure, we will
continue demonstrating in support of their fight against
violent colonial extractivism. This Wednesday, March 4,
students in schools across the country will stage a
walkout in solidarity. At 1:45pm, students will walk out
of our classes to meet by 2pm on the St. George side of
Sidney Smith Commons, 100 St. George Street. </p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Any support that you are able
to provide to this action will be sincerely appreciated.
Please feel free to circulate the date and time of this
action to your students; to encourage members your
networks to attend; and to attend in your capacity as
professors. We will have music, food and plenty of
energy to spare, and we welcome any and all who wish to
show support. </p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Many thanks for all that you
do as educators in this formative moment!</p>
