On May 26th Indigenous communities and supporters including environmental and social justice groups will gather at Queen’s Park to uphold our duty to protect the land, forest, water, and air and to promote respect for Indigenous rights and to say no to economic exploitation and environmental destruction. It is time to end the jailing and harassment of Indigenous people for protecting mother earth and traditional ways. Please come to this large rally on May 26th at the legislature. There will also be four days of ceremony, speakers, workshops, music, and a three night sovereignty sleep-over directly on the front lawn of the legislature.

Right now Indigenous communities across Ontario are taking a stand to assert their right to protect traditional territories and the future of their peoples. These communities are peacefully protesting destructive industrial projects that the government is permitting on traditional lands without community consent.

Rather than respecting Treaties of co-existence and the UN recognized Indigenous right to withhold consent over industrial projects on traditional lands, the Ontario government is harassing Native people and jailing community activists and leaders including Bob Lovelace, Donny Morris, Sam McKay, Jack McKay, Cecilia Begg, Darryl Sainnawap, Bruce Sakakeep, and others.  Please take a stand and support freedom for First Nations and respect for the land.

NO CONSENT means STOP the DESTRUCTION to MOTHER EARTH!

Volunteers, donations of money, food, tents, blankets, billeting, endorsements, and publicity are needed!
