We join the campaign #LibertadParaGuapinol to demand immediate release of 7 Water defenders in #Honduras who have spent past 2 months locked up in max security jail due to their resistance to a mining project that threatens their watershed. Release them now! #Solidaridad
I want to put something in perspective. If you were to take and identify 100 kids in the child welfare system, statistically, half of them would be Indigenous children. Canada has and CONTINUES TO racially discriminate and chronically underfund Indigenous children.
#Guapinol Water Defenders denounce aggressions against them in US Congress for defending their watershed in Honduras against mining projects in their community. #GuapinolResiste
Each year the Israeli military arrests & prosecutes around 700 Palestinian children.
Help us end this. Sign the petition to PM Justin Trudeau. https://t.co/VsOst70586
The Cdn. government must take steps to promote protections for Palestinian children.

If ever there was a time to be outraged, it’s now. 🇨🇦 government refuses to make mining companies operating abroad accountable & has opened the doors for *the companies* to lodge complaints against the very communities who are at risk for denouncing their abuses. #Open4Justice
We stand in opposition to all forms of sexual and gender-based violence. Let's work together to support trauma healing for women, girls, and all people vulnerable to such violence in their communities.

We are just getting started in #Toronto where #GrassyNarrows is unveiling designs for a Mercury Home that @JustinTrudeau promised to fund 500 days ago but still hasn't.
Citing "great risk" to communities, a judge has intervened to "protect the rights to life, health" and "human dignity" of locals impacted by company EPM's disastrous #Hidroituango dam - a project financed by 🇨🇦's export bank @ExportDevCanada. @CDHAL @KPriceAmnesty @traceyram
The time for @JustinTrudeau & @jimcarr_wpg to meet govt's promise to give new corporate ombudsperson powers to investigate effectively dwindles. The UN Special Rapporteur on HRD's, @ForstMichel, lays out why this matters. #theworldiswatching@AmnestyNow https://t.co/0JkZTmwKe6
One second they declare a #ClimateEmergency and the next second they say yes to expand a pipeline.
This is shameful.
But of course this is not only in Canada, we can unfortunately see the same pattern everywhere...

Our #ModelOmbuds gets at the real problem: While Canadian companies receive extensive financial & political support from the government, people harmed by their operations have nowhere to turn for justice. The entire mandate needs to advance #humanrights. https://t.co/U0xbmXaitx
While TC-Energy is invading sacred Wet'suwet'en territory in a time of climate crisis, we are here as a reminder to Canadians of this ongoing genocide. We all share a crucial responsibility to take action in solidarity with Unist'ot'en Camp. #Wetsuwetenstrong#cdnpoli#Unistoten
This action is a part of an international call for support and solidarity called for June 15th. We are demanding that Mr. Vanaselja and others behind this project pull out all Coastal Gas Link workers from Wet’suwet’en territory and stop man camp construction immediately.
Powerless vs #power2investigate --> the details matter. Canada has broken a commitment to an independent ombudsperson to investigate abuses tied to Canadian companies abroad. The mandate can - and must - be done right. In our #ModelOmbuds, we lay out how: https://t.co/U0xbmXaitx
