River Run: Support mercury justice for Grassy Narrows

Come out to show your support for Grassy Narrows’ fight for mercury justice!
Family friendly event. Downtown Toronto, location TBD. Rain or shine!

The devastating mercury crisis in Grassy Narrows First Nation has persisted for decades. Most Grassy Narrows members get no compensation for its ongoing serious impacts. And Ontario is still allowing mining exploration on Grassy Narrows lands against Grassy Narrows’ will.

Grassy people are powerful leaders in the movement for Indigenous sovereignty and environmental justice. They have shown us that we can fight for justice against all odds and make real gains

Together Grassy Narrows and Free Grassy allies have kicked the world’s largest newsprint company off of Grassy Narrows lands, forced the government to commit to clean up the English and Wabigoon Rivers, comprehensively reform the Mercury Disability Board, and build a Mercury Care Home and Treatment Centre in Grassy Narrows. We won’t stop until Grassy Narrows has the good life that they enjoyed before mercury.
