The world’s largest mining convention #PDAC2021 is going online to protect those who make unchecked resource extraction possible. Yet Cdn #mining operations continue to expand, spread COVID & rake in record profits as workers & mining-affected communities get sick. #DisruptPDAC
60%+ of mining companies worldwide list as Canadian. And after years of reports (after report, after report) documenting crimes as serious as slavery and sexual abuse, abuses keep happening. March 8-11 #PDAC2021 will do their best to ignore all this. Join us to #DisruptPDAC
#PDAC2021 says dissenters are unwelcome. @the_pdac is a self-congratulatory space for the mining industry, where sponsors are some of the worst human rights violators and the industry expands on the backs of impacted communities. All the more reason to #DisruptPDAC.
Why #DisruptPDAC? Because the mining industry has shown itself entirely incapable of self-regulation. They promote voluntary social and environmental principles, willing to work with affected communities so far as it doesn’t affect their bottom line. #PDAC2021
Why #DisruptPDAC? Because moving towards a “green” economy can’t just mean more destructive and carbon-intensive mining. We can’t mine our way out of the climate crisis! No false solutions! No sacrifice zones! #PDAC2021 #ProtectThackerPass
