SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE 15 YOUNG PEOPLE CHALLENGING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S LACK OF ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE

On October 26, fifteen young Canadians will enter a federal courtroom in Vancouver for the start of La Rose v. His Majesty the King — the first youth-led climate trial in Canadian history.  They are asking the Federal Court to hold the federal government accountable and order it to develop and implement a science-based Climate Recovery Plan capable of reducing Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions and protecting their constitutional rights.

Robyn plans to be there with other climate champions outside the Federal Court at Pacific Centre (701 West Georgia St.) before proceedings begin at 8:30 a.m. to cheer the youth plaintiffs on as they arrive.  Feel free to join me!

At 5:30 p.m. on October 26, you can also join the Youth v. Canada Climate Rally outside the Vancouver Art Gallery (800 West Georgia St.) to hear from the plaintiffs and their legal team, alongside community voices, music and performances.

For those who want to follow the court proceedings beginning at 9:30 am, there will be a watch party at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
