Environmental Justice Toronto

E-mail: ejaction[at]gmail.com

The aimof EJ Toronto is to strengthen the city's environmental justice community. Toronto-based organizers have been collaborating to hold Canadian mining companies, financial institutions, and politicians accountable to upholding human rights and the rights of Mother Earth. Canada is home to 75% of the world's mining and exploration companies and the largest industrial project on earth, the Alberta tar sands.

EJ Toronto will focus on providing local educational and skill-building opportunities related to exploitative global mining practices, tar sands issues, Indigenous solidarity, climate policy, political lobbying, non-violent direct action and creative movement-building. We seek to highlight these issues and raise the voices of those most impacted and at the forefront of these struggles.
