Moving the needle on climate action is more important than ever. Wildfires, heat waves and floods are devastating our communities, driving up costs for groceries, utilities, insurance and other everyday expenses. The majority of British Columbians want our government to do more on climate change, but instead our elected officials are doing the exact opposite!

On Friday, September 20, join thousands of families, students, teachers, elders, youth, advocates and activists on unceded xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) lands — Vancouver — as we tell our representatives that enough is enough. Stop trading our bright futures for gas industry profits.
