Kinder Morgan Has Got to Go! DESCRIPTION:After nearly 200 arrests on Burnaby Mountain of people taking bold action to stop Kinder Morgan\, this Thursday\, Justin Trudeau is scheduled to be in Vancouver raising money for his own re-election campaign. That’s right Trudeau is fundraising at the same time he’s trying to shove an unwanted pipeline through Vancouver\, Burnaby and all of BC. \nNot on our watch. On Thursday April 5th\, let’s show the Prime Minister that he is not welcome on unceded Coast Salish territories — not while he is ramming a reckless tar sands pipeline through without Indigenous consent. \n**Here’s the plan**\n5:30 – Gather at the Vancouver Art Gallery\n5:45 – March to the fundraiser at the Sheraton Wall Centre 1088 Burrard St.\n6:00 – 7:30 Arrive at the fundraiser as donors and attendees arrive to make noise and make sure Trudeau knows how much supporting KM will cost him. \n***In order order to make this as loud as possible\, we need everyone to bring two items from home – a pot or pan and a wooden spoon. It’s a tactic that Quebec students and community members used in 2012 to make a whole lot of noise\, and we think that Trudeau needs his ears to ring with our opposition\, so please\, bring out a pot or pan and a wooden spoon. *** \nWe don’t have the money to get into Trudeau’s event\, but we do have people power\, and we can show that no amount of dollars is going to help this Prime Minister come election day if he continues to ignore our climate commitments\, disrespect Indigenous rights and put this coast in peril. \nWe’ll march together to Trudeau’s fundraiser\, where the Prime Minister hopes to fill his re-election coffers. With enough people outside\, he’ll have to spend the whole night explaining to these supporters why he’s willing to risk a catastrophic oil spill in their backyards.\n\nKid Friendly URL:https://cpcbc.ca/event/hey-trudeau-kinder-morgan-has-got-to-go/ LOCATION:Vancouver Art Gallery\, 750 Hornby St\, Vancouver\, British Columbia\, V6Z 2H7\, Canada CATEGORIES:Rally ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cpcbc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/kindermorgan.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180402T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180402T170000 DTSTAMP:20260430T153205 CREATED:20180330T184800Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180330T184908Z UID:395-1522677600-1522688400@cpcbc.ca SUMMARY:How Cuba's Democracy Works DESCRIPTION:Come and learn more about Cuba’s Democratic Process\, as well as the Che Guevara Work Brigade. \nMonday\, April 2nd @ 2pm\nOrganized by: Canadian Cuban Friendship Association (CCFA)\nLocation: Centre For Socialist Education 706 Clark Dr.\nSpeakers: Juan Carlos Rodriguez Diaz and Yamil Martínez Marrero \nJuan Carlos Rodriguez Diaz\, elected member of Cuba’s National Assembly of People’s Power\, professor of history\, and historian of the City of Pinar del Rio\, will talk about elections and democracy in Cuba \nYamil Martínez Marrero\, official of the Canada Desk of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) in Havana will outline the Ché Guevara Volunteer Work Brigade to Cuba\, taking place from April 22nd to May 6.

Then we will march through Chinatown.

We must partake in recognizing our positions and complicity in settler colonialism on these stolen ancestral lands. \nEndorsed by: Canadian Anti-racism Education and Research Society (CARES)\, UBC Social Justice Centre\, Radical Desis\, Latinos In Action\, Salaam Canada\, Siraat\, LGBTIQ2S+ Health Equity Collaborative\, Young Community League\, International Socialist.
