#CancelCanadaDay

 

Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day!
As a reminder, Idle No More calls to #CancelCanadaDay:

We are once again calling on Indigenous land, water and sky protectors and allies to come together and disrupt the celebration. See original call-out at the bottom of this email. 
 

Below is a list of events across the nation, with more to come. Click on each listing for more information and join in on an action near you, or plan your own! Please share your details with Idle No More’s Facebook page. 
 

The following details were sent on July 5th: 
 

The recent discovery at Kamloops residential school has reminded us that Canada remains a country that has built its foundation on the erasure and genocide of Indigenous nations, including children. We refuse to sit idle while Canada’s violent history is celebrated.

Who: any individual, group or community who wants to challenge and disrupt Canada’s ongoing colonialism
When: July 1st
Where: any traditional Indigenous territory, urban or rural, from coast to coast to coast
What: any action, such as banner drops, sit ins, round dances, service disruptions, ceremonies, #Landback camps, marches and rallies. Please adhere to COVID-19 precautions specific to your region.
How: Gather together in person or virtually, plan your action, and share your event details to this page. We encourage actions to include orange shirts, so long as it feels appropriate to do so.
