Emergency Resistance Call
Join 350.org and Common Horizon's Emergency Call to Resist Climate Chaos on Tuesday Dec 9th 4:00 pm PT / 5:00 pm MT / 6:00 pm CT / 7:00 pm ET / 8:00 pm AT.
Carney just announced a toxic deal with the Government of Alberta to build a massive tar sands pipeline from Alberta to BC – despite steadfast Indigenous opposition. The deal locks our economy to a volatile, toxic, and dying industry, and guts a decade of progress on climate action.
The Alberta/Canada MOU is a slap in the face to workers and families who deserve investment in affordable, renewable energy and a safe future. It's startling that Carney would hand such a huge gift to Big Oil billionaires and Premier Danielle Smith who just undermined the right to strike for Alberta labour unions.
Join us on Tuesday Dec 9th at 4:00 pm PT/ 7:00 pm ET to take stock of recent federal decisions, hear from inspiring activists on the frontlines of resistance, including Janelle Lapointe and Eve Saint, and find out how you can fight back!
