We are of one heart and mind
In Solidarity with all Land Defenders
The idea behind the nation-wide demonstration has grown and morphed into a much larger movement denouncing the high number of cases of murdered and missing women; systemic racism; exploitation of natural resources; the tar sands; the pipelines; fracking; mining; mega-dam projects; and justice. Protesters say “Everything is Interconnected.”
In Solidarity with all Land Defenders asks readers to “Help Spread the Word”.
“CALLOUT for communities across Canada to blockade their local railway, port or highway on February 13th. Don’t buy, don’t fly, no work and keep the kids home from school. A diversity of tactics is highly recommended!
Get together with your friends and family to start planning now. Please share any info on local events on this event page we will use as a networking hub. Tell as many people as you can, time to get the ball rolling.
