GRASSY NARROWS ACTION
There's something really wonderful and magical about this photo - it's deeply symbolic of what SURJ is and can aspire to be, helping to push marginalized, often silenced BIPOC voices right to the very front.

On June 20th SURJ members showed up in support of Grassy Narrows community members who travelled 1700km to Toronto to demand:
A Mercury Home and Treatment Centre
Compensation for everyone in Grassy Narrows affected by the mercury crisis
Their community’s water supply is still in crisis.
