CRED-NB is a member of the Climate Action Network Canada who shared this info sheet to explain what the massive Draw the Line Day of Action on September 20th is all about. In addition to three flagship demonstrations in Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver, there are more than 60 actions taking place in cities, towns, and villages from coast to coast to coast.
CRED-NB was asked to share with you a letter signed by 21 social movement leaders published in the independent news outlet The Tyee: Draw the Line: Tell the Carney Government to Pick a Side.
