Climate Activism. What we can do to make an impact

The impacts of a changing climate are in our faces daily.

Are you anxious and not knowing what to do?

Hundreds of BC citizens took direct action against the fossil fuel perpetrators of the crisis and were arrested on Burnaby Mountain for opposition to TMX, a pipeline carrying diluted bitumen from the tar sands to Burrard Inlet.

This forum will feature a panel of arrestees, including members of VanU, who will tell us what they did and why. Come for inspiration as we discuss best options for moving forward and for a challenge to step up in community in defense of a more secure future.

The anthology, Standing on High Ground: Civil Disobedience on Burnaby Mountain, containing first hand accounts and court testimonies of 25 arrestees, will be available for sale.

This forum is sponsored by the Environment Team.
