Communities across B.C. and beyond are experiencing the worst fire season on record. Intact forests are one of our best allies in the climate crisis – they help protect us from worsening climate risks like fires and floods, they store massive amounts of carbon, provide fresh air and clean water, and so much more.
For the health and safety of our communities, we need to ramp up the pressure. That’s why we’re mobilizing across the province on September 28. This distributed day of action happens right before the B.C. Legislature returns to session. Our actions outside government offices will send MLAs back to Victoria with a strong mandate to do more for the forests and all the life they sustain.
Here are some ways you can get involved:
- Join an existing action. There are already a bunch of creative events being planned from Vancouver Island to the Kootenays that you can join. We’ll be updating the list as more actions pop up so keep an eye out!
- Host your own community event. If you’re interested in hosting your own action, we’d love to help. We’ve developed this toolkit of everything you’ll need to organize an action at your local MLA or Minister’s office – including organizing tips, downloadable posters, talking points, how to reach out to local media and more!
- Not able to join in person? Help amplify the events with your networks. We’ve put together this amplification kit filled with graphics, social media ideas and email content.
