Smithers to Join Historic Mobilization for Climate, Indigenous, Migrant, and Workers’ Justice

Smithers is set to be part of a historic, nation-wide mobilization this Saturday, September 20, as communities across Canada rally for climate justice, Indigenous rights, migrant rights, and workers’ rights. The action coincides with the federal government’s preparations for the fall budget and aims to hold the government accountable for its policies on climate change and social justice.

The rally in Smithers will begin at 10 a.m. at the Smithers Courthouse and march to Rotary Park. Local speakers will highlight the federal government’s failures on key issues, including climate action, Indigenous sovereignty, and migrant justice. Attendees will also raise concerns about the growing wealth inequality and cuts to public services.

This action is part of a larger movement spanning over 50 cities, organized by groups such as 350.org, Greenpeace Canada, and Indigenous Climate Action. Organizers are calling on the federal government to choose people over corporate profits and to act urgently on climate and social justice.
