--- LAND, FREEDOM AND DECOLONIZATION ---
A march and celebration of resistance


THURSDAY JULY 1
2 PM @ Clark Park (East 14th and Commerical Drive)
we will march till Grandview Park for food and festivities


In solidarity with the frontline struggles of indigenous peoples and
immigrants and refugees ...
Bring your banners, noisemakers and symbols of resistance.

As thousands celebrate “Canada Day” we will be marching to celebrate our
resistance as indigenous peoples and as immigrants and refugees from the
global South.  The Canadian government and corporate interests create war,
poverty and destruction throughout indigenous territories in the North and
the global South, while refugees arriving at these shores continue to be
exploited and deported.

Around the globe and at home, movements and communities for social justice
assert their dignity through diverse struggles - from the Philippines to
Colombia to Palestine; from the jungles of Chiapas to the reserves and
racialized ghettos of Fortress North America.

We will be marching to confront and remind people that there can be No
Olympics on stolen native land as the the Secwepemc and St'at'imc people
and now the community at Cheam are fighting ski resort development on
unceded traditional territories. We will be marching to confront and
remind people of the fight back against violent deportation and detention
policies that victimize immigrant and refugee communities fleeing from
former colonial regimes through measures such as Security Certificates,
Anti-Terrorism legislation and the Smart Border declaration.

And so united we will continue to struggle for our self-determination and
dignity.

Organized by various groups fighting for indigenous soverignity and
immigrant/refugee rights: Native Youth  Movement, Native Solidarity
Network, South Asian Network for Secularism and Democracy, Palestine
Community Center, No One is Illegal, Refugees Against Racial Profiling,
South Asian Youth Alliance, Vancouver Association of Chinese Canadians,
Bus Riders Union, Friends and Families of Mexican Political Prisoners, 
International Solidarity Movement, Chetna Association, Members of Bear
