Speakers from Hamilton's labour, social justice and environmental movements will share our visions for a rapid, just transition away from fossil fuels that creates good, green, union jobs and makes sure no one gets left behind. We'll have special presentations from the Disability Justice Network of Ontario, and the Hamilton Encampment Support Network.Local musicians will entertain the crowd and attendees will enjoy some family-friendly, creative activities.
We’re organizing this event in solidarity with communities across the country, as part of the national Day of Action for a Just Transition supported by 350 Canada and the Council of Canadians. We also want this event to highlight the good work already done by the Just Recovery Hamilton Coalition and build momentum as we approach this year’s crucial provincial and municipal elections.
