Support River Run from home!
Grassy Narrows people are powerful leaders in the movement for Indigenous sovereignty and environmental justice. They have shown that together we can fight for justice against all odds and make real gains. But so much is still needed to right the wrong of mercury poisoning in Grassy Narrows. On September 23, Grassy Narrows youth and community members who have travelled 1,700km will be in Toronto to demand mercury justice, and we hope you’ll join them!
🗓️ September 23 at 12pm
📍 Grange Park, 26 Grange Rd W

We want to see as many people as possible in the streets of Toronto in a powerful show of solidarity with Grassy Narrows, but we know that’s not possible for everyone. Luckily, there are ways to join in River Run no matter where you are - from across the city, or across Turtle Island!
River Run will be livestreamed. The stream will have automated live captions, and we will do our best to keep the ASL interpreters on screen during speeches. A link to the livestream will be added here soon, please check back!
Sign the petition: Call on Mark Carney and Doug Ford to compensate Grassy Narrows fairly for their suffering from the mercury crisis and end all mining and logging on their territory.
