Gold Corp is a Canadian mining company infamous for their human rights violation, harms to the environment and to human health. Support the struggles of indigenous peoples throughout the Americas to defend their land, livelihood and right to self-determination.
Human rights are not for sale!
The theme around this year’s protest is ‘ Gold Corp, Clean Up Your Mess and Get Out!’ We want to remind the company and their shareholders of all the grave human rights abuses, environmental and health harms they have caused and continue to perpetuate. We invite people to dress creatively to reflect this theme. Ideas include:
– hazmat suits & lab coats speaking to the hazardous work environments and toxic contamination caused by GC
– Scrubs speaking to the health concerns
– Prosecutors/Judges speaking to the impunity and corruption in which GC operates
– Plumbers speaking to harms to peoples’ drinking water
-Superheroes, super-villains, whatever you can come up with!
