Best known for their ability to draw massive crowds in support of climate justice, the\u00a0Sustainabiliteens<\/a> are taking a different approach for today\u2019s global day of youth action by drawing attention to the work of Indigenous activists fighting the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion project.<\/p>\n

Along with hundreds of young people across Canada and many more worldwide, the Sustainabiliteens, a group of high school-aged activists from across Metro Vancouver, will be gathering outside Environment Canada\u2019s downtown Vancouver offices at 10 a.m.<\/p>\n

In addition to calling for an end to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, the group will be acting in solidarity for the first time with Indigenous land defenders, particularly the Tiny House Warriors and Braided Warriors, who have faced arrests for their actions and\u00a0allege<\/a>\u00a0brutality<\/a>\u00a0on the part of arresting police officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past, Sustainabiliteens hasn\u2019t done the best job of standing in solidarity with Indigenous peoples,\u201d said Tavie Johnson, a member of the group, which she says is largely made up of white people.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraditionally the environmental movement and the conservation movement have been very whitewashed, and we know that we can\u2019t have climate justice without racial justice and Indigenous sovereignty and Indigenous rights. All of those are extremely interconnected.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Sustainabiliteens\u00a0drew over 100,000<\/a>\u00a0students, workers, parents and elders to strike for the climate in September 2019, this time they want people to stay home and watch their livestream on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0accounts because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n
