From the Defend Our Coast team:
On Monday Oct. 22nd, thousands will converge on the BC legislature lawn in Victoria and defend our coast again tarsands pipelines and tankers.
It is gearing up to be a historic event, including live music and speakers such as the Esquimalt Singers and Dancers, Maude Barlow, CEP President Dave Coles, Coastal First Nation Executive Director Art Sterritt, Chief Jasmine Thomas, Rex Wyler, and so many more.
In the spirit of community engagement, we encourage you to send a press release to your local community news outlets this week to announce your participation in the Defend Our Coast event.

I imagine you then just go to one of the pick-up places at the indicated time – or maybe you get a confirmation email.
Hope it works out for you so that you can be part of this historic action on Monday!
