International Day of Action Against the Tar Sands

June 17th - 10:30 am (arrive)/11:00 am start
Alberta Legislature grounds, Edmonton, Alberta

The tar sands are destroying forests, trampling Indigenous rights, poisoning the atmosphere and river systems and threatening community health. On the weekend of June 17th we will fight back globally!

Whether it’s forest destruction of areas that ultimately could equal the size of Scotland, toxic lakes that can be seen from space, the trampling of Indigenous rights or the poisoning of Canadian and U.S. communities living near tar sands operations, turning tar sands into transportation fuel hurts our environment and communities every step of the way.

Take Action on June 17th!

**We need your help to send a large and clear message to the Alberta Government that enough is enough! Help us to present some strong visuals! Bring your signs, songs and sounds and show companies and governments around the world that our future can not contain this toxic resource.
