--- 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
