All out for Aamjiwnaang! Emergency rally November 7, 9:30 am, Queens Park, Toronto.

Aamjiwnaang has been in the State of Emergency following a Benzene spill in the community from a nearby petrochemical plant. As a result, the community is facing elevated risks of cancer, and profound mental health impacts. This is nothing new, for decades, Aamjiwnaang has had to live with the adverse health impacts of living alongside Ontario’s Chemical ally, where 40% of Canada’s chemical industry is concentrated producing elevated levels of harmful air pollutants. Yet the community has little say over how this industry impacts their health and ancestral lands, while the Crown continues to side with industry. This is the devastating impact of ongoing colonialism, genocide of Indigenous people and environmental racism.

Aamjiwnaang community members will be at Queens Park on November 7th demanding justice. Show up in solidarity!

This event is kid-friendly and open to all ages
