Hello Democracy Rising!!!!
We are absolutely stoked to be part of the No Kings / No Tyrants movement, and to make history as one of the largest days of action EVER. And it's all in the name of supporting democracy here in Canada and restoring it in the United States.
Read on for some details about what's coming up, a new destination for our endpoint, plus how you can help.
The Details
Saturday, March 28
11:00 AM – 1:15 PM
Vancouver Public Library, 350 W Georgia St
Hosted by Democracy Rising and Indivisible Vancouver
No American Fascism on Canadian Soil
Donald Trump is a fascist. He is dismantling democracy, shredding civil liberties, and building an authoritarian state, and he is doing it fast. His administration is a direct threat not just to Americans, but to every open society in North America, including ours.
Our city is complicit in two ways, and we are naming both.
Our demands:
- Hootsuite: Cancel your ICE contract immediately
- GardaWorld: End all ICE detention contracts
- Avison Young: Stop brokering deals with ICE.
- Mayor Ken Sim: Explicitly bar ICE from operating in Vancouver during the 2026 World Cup, and declare Vancouver a sanctuary city
- Ottawa: Formally object to ICE operating out of the U.S. Consulate and bar ICE from conducting enforcement operations on Canadian soil
Join us March 28th. Fascism doesn’t stop at borders. Neither does resistance.
Note that we have a new destination: We'll be ending at Harbor Green Park, not Jack Pool Plaza.
Part of the national No Tyrants: ICE Out of Canada mobilization, coordinated through the Canadian Anti-ICE Network.
We're trying to secure a better sound system for the speeches and music, and we need your support to pay for the equipment rental. Any little bit that you can help with goes a HUGE way.
