Rally for Climate, Communities and Nature

The Pocket Change Project is sharing this callout from Environmental Defence for a Climate Rally at Queen's Park.

Ontario’s environment needs you now. 

Greenhouse gas emissions are rising, protections for nature are being dismantled, and mega projects are encroaching on communities. 

On Saturday, May 14th, a huge coalition of climate and environmental groups is hosting a giant rally for climate, communities and nature at Queens Park, Toronto.

The Emergency in Ontario Rally will feature inspiring speakers, exciting performers and will be opened by elder Danny Beaton, Turtle Clan Mohawk of the Grand River Six Nations Territory – not to be missed.

Click attending on the Facebook event and invite all of your friends and family! We are hoping for a huge turnout to show this government and every provincial party that the environment is an essential issue for this election.
