When: Wednesday February, 2nd, 5 pm
Where: Meet at OISE, 5th floor
Who: Everyone is welcome!
We stand in solidarity with mining affected communities and work with them to resist the destructive acts of Canadian mining companies that threaten:
*indigenous sovereignty
*community rights
*labour rights
*the environment
*our water
*health and wellness
*food security
*survival
and exacerbate:
*gendered violence and inequity
*militarization and forced displacement
*criminalization of community leaders
*the corporatization of education
*mass poverty
From North to South, East to West – from university campuses to the rural highlands of mining affected regions – we believe that resistance is possible. We take direction from local community leaders who experience the impact of mining companies first-hand. We work to join our struggles together and form a network of mining impacted people (directly affectected and otherwise)
Join us! We put on the annual Mining (In)Justice Conference in Toronto where we bring affected community members from around the world to tell their stories, and organize. We also do protests, petions, independent media, vigils, art projects, photography, and documentaries. We are made up of community members and also have a chapter at the University of Toronto that you can get involved with, specifically focused on taking on corporatization and the support of the university for these mining abuses.
