BROKE Town Hall in July and canvassing in June
BROKE is presenting a Town Hall on Tuesday July 5, 5-7pm (and online), at Lochdale Community Hall in North Burnaby, and we need your help with advance canvassing to
Don't Give Up! Town Hall about Together Stopping Trans Mountain!
Featured speakers include Cedar George Parker and other youth speakers, also Rueben George of Tsleil-Waututh Sacred Trust, & other speakers TBA (poster coming soon).
WHY?
There is a youth movement rising this summer against Trans Mountain. The youth want to protect orcas, salmon, birds, and the inlet from the threats this pipeline & tanker expansion brings. Their vision has the power to unite people & bring harmony back to the land. This is their vision and their future. They need our support now to keep up their work.
Canvassing Shift Details:
Help us by signing up for an advance canvassing shift (or three). We will easily prep you with current info and talking points; you don't need to know lots, plus it's fun!
Sunday June 26, 10:30am-1:30pm meet at Kensington Mall Starbucks
Monday June 27, 5:30-8pm meet at Canadian Pizza Plus (in Forest Grove) at 8650 Cinnamon Dr #34.
Wednesday June 29, 5:30-8pm meet at Kensington Mall Starbucks.

We are asking people to sign up for canvassing shifts because we have noticed that "our choir" is exhausted and we need to reach new people. We are asking allies and accomplices at this time - rather than coming to hear people speak as a way of supporting - we would like for you to help us find new people who will be learning about the issues for the first time. We believe a lot has changed since this fight began, and that more people care about Climate and are putting the pieces together about the future we need that is free of new pipelines and fossil infrastructure.
We hope you choose to lean into this opportunity if you can... we need us all together to bring the changes that must come.
Other groups supporting our Town Hall include Mountain Protectors, Climate Convergence, Force of Nature, For our Kids Burnaby, Protect the Planet, & TSSU (SFU Teaching Support Staff Union).
- reach new people and
- uplift youth voices.
