<Hamilton FreeSkool!> May 9th: "Protest Barrick" Speaking Tour in Hamilton

[Hamilton FreeSkool !]

"There is a global resistance to Canadian mining."

Barrick Gold is the world's largest gold mining company, founded and chaired
by Peter Munk. With a former prime minister on their board and former
executive sitting on the board of the Canadian Pension Plan, Barrick enjoys
government funding and diplomatic support.

Barrick Gold takes advantage of inadequate and poorly enforced regulatory
controls to rob Indigenous Peoples and comm...unities of their land and
livelihoods, destroying sensitive ecosystems, supporting brutal military and
security operations, and suing those who dare to report on it. Impacted
communities are coming to Canada to confront Barrick, sharing their own
undeniable perspectives and shedding light on corporate impunity.

Come out to support them!

On *Monday May 9th at 6pm*, come out to the Skydragon Centre, 27 King
William St, for a speaking event with front-line activists from Papua New
Guinea, the Philippines, and Tanzania, as well as solidarity activists from
Canada, about Barrick Golds impact on communities around the world and what
this global resistance looks like.

Check out the Facebook event at

come out to show solidarity to these activists from across the world.

"If modern industrial education—and more broadly industrial
civilization—requires "the subsumption of the individual," that is, the
conversion of vibrant human beings into "automata," i.e., into a pliant
workforce, then the most revolutionary thing we can do is follow our hearts,
to manifest who we really are."
