Extracting Truths about Canadian Mining in the Americas:
A SOLIDARITY FAIR
Please join us for an evening in solidarity with mining-affected communities in the Americas
Where: Russian Hall, 600 Campbell
When: Sunday, April 22nd
Time: Doors Open @ 5:30 pm
Suggested Donation: $10 (Includes meal + juice) – no one will be turned away
We hope to both educate, raise money and have fun at this fair! Educate people on the international and national abuses of Canadian mining companies and present reasons why mining is now intrinsic in the Canadian economy.
Raise money for the people of San Miguel, Guatemala who are fighting against the Marlin Mine which is a Goldcorp, Vancouver based mining company, owned mine.
Have fun by eating, drinking, talking and dancing with people in our community!
Latin American and First Nations organizations will be attending. They will have booths to sell products, provide information about themselves and present possible opportunities within their organizations. It will give everybody a chance to connect with social justice organizations and see what they are all about!
Our class will talk about our experiences of solidarity with people thousands of kilometers away. With Mining Justice Alliance, we will provide oppurtunities for people to contact the Canadian government, whether that means writing a letter or attending a protest.
Together with a video, kids activities, great food, drinks, a raffle,
music and salsa lessons, this evening will be fun for the whole family!
