SAVE THE DATE: September 4 – 5th LABOUR DAY WEEKEND
Ten years ago, a report surfaced that showed two girls were being born for every boy in Aamjiwnaang First Nation due to toxic chemicals emanating from industry in Chemical Valley. The news made international headlines and shamed the Canadian government. Since that time, more refineries have been built, more pipelines have spilled, and the community continues to be poisoned day after day, week after week, year after year.
But Aamjiwnaang has fought back. Grassroots members have done speaking tours, petitions, lawsuits, rallies, blockades, scientific testing, and built networks of supporters to help share the story of what is happening to our lands, and our people.
We are asking for you to experience for one day what many of us experience our whole lives. Come and see the miles of petrochemical plants. Witness the pollution with your own eyes, ears, noses, and feel what it has done to our land and our people.
Chemical Valley is the climate and pollution crisis of Southern Ontario. It is where nearly 1 million barrels of tar sands are processed each day. It is where fracked gas is processed. It is the place of all of the environmental crises of our times. It is a place of environmental racism: the Valley exists on stolen land, and its people are being slowly killed by pollution.
Join us in our fight against environmental racism, climate chaos, and extreme pollution.
