Activists:
Participate in the Occupation @ 50 Campaign.
Amnesty International’s research team in East Jerusalem and Amnesty Canada’s IOTP cogroup are asking for your participation in a one year campaign launched last week to mark the 50th anniversary of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
We are calling on Canada to ban Israeli settlement goods from our markets, and to stop companies domiciled in our country from operating in settlements or trading in settlement goods.
Condemning 50 years of settlements, 50 years of war crimes, is no longer enough....

Victoria Friends of Cuba present:
SOCIAL JUSTICE FILM NIGHT: MORE THAN A PIPELINE
a film by Lex Olthof and Robert Bridgeman
7 pm Thursday June 15th2994 Douglas BCGEU Hall
admission by donation
This film is about 500 years of suppression of the First Nations by the US Government and how the situation at Standing Rock is the next chapter in this ongoing genocide. The film is about the pipeline, corporations, and the banks. It’s about the genocide (from the Wounded Knee massacre until today), about the veterans, the role of the women, the power of prayer, and the rise of the Great Sioux Nation.
The story is told by interviews with water protectors, headsman of the Oceti Sakowin and other stakeholders. The story goes from the start of the violence in September 2016 until the raids of the camps in February 2017.
All money raised...

Dear friends and supporters,
About one billion people world-wide rely on fish as their primary protein source. Many of these people live in poverty and many of the world's 54 million fishers are also poor. Gaza, a 43km coastal strip of land, depends heavily on its inshore fishery to feed its population of nearly 2 million Palestinians.

It's Time to
Stand Together
Against
Climate Change.
The withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement today is deeply disappointing as well as foolish, particularly given that renewable energy is now being realized on such a significant scale throughout the US.
However, great leaps forward usually come from the innovators and risk takers - those that have the guts, foresight and empathy to think beyond themselves and visualize a future where all species thrive. Repeating a history that pillages the future for the next generation in the name of greed is not only short-sighted it is also proven to cost more in the long-term. Our numerous EPA Superfund sites are a testimony to that.
