AGM action: tell NAB to divest from Coastal GasLink

Members of the Wet’suwet’en Nation are calling on supporters in Melbourne to stand with them and help shine a light on NAB’s destructive lending on the day of the bank’s Annual General Meeting.

By funding the Coastal GasLink project in Canada – which will create millions of tonnes of CO2, and risks irreparable damage to the culture and sacred sites of the Wet’suwet’en Nation – NAB continues to enable profit-driven polluters, no matter the costs to climate and culture.

Join in this solidarity action outside NAB's Melbourne head office in support of the Wet’suwet’en Nation’s ongoing resistance to this dangerous project, and to highlight NABs irresponsible lending to polluting and dangerous expansionary gas overseas.

This is an unbranded event, keeping to the theme of showing solidarity to the Wet’suwet’en people. Please don’t bring any off-topic banners or t-shirts.

If you would like to make a banner or share a message, you can use the following:

• 'Solidarity with Wet’suwet’en'
• 'NAB Divest from CoastalGasLink Now'
• 'NAB: Respect Indigenous Sovereignty'

This event is organised by 350 Australia, the Australian Youth Climate Coalition and the Australian Conservation Foundation.
